Resolved.

I’ve tested the Compare Plugin Version 1.5.6.8 and the problem has been resolved. Works like a charm.

Thanks All for the support.

Hello Erik van der Vlugt

You can easily simulate this functionality, by an appropriate regular expression :-))

Two possibilities :

If you want to select from cursor location till the next character, word, string or even regular expression matched, INcluded, just put the regex (?s).+?, before your search

If you want to select from cursor location till the next character, word, string or even regular expression matched, EXcluded, just put the regex (?s).+?(?=, before your search and end this regex with a closing round bracket !

Moreover :

If your search is case insensitive, use, at the beginning, the in-line modifier (?si)

If your search is case sensitive, use, at the beginning, the in-line modifier (?s-i)

If your search looks for a whole word, only, add the \b syntax, just after your search

So, let’s consider the contents of the N++ license.txt

Move back at the very beginning of your file ( CTRL + Origin )

Open the Find dialog ( CTRL + F )

Select the Regular expression search mode

Then, for instance :

The regex (?si).+?License would match from cursor location, till the string License, included, whatever its case ( 15 matches )

The regex (?s-i).+?(?=License) would match from cursor location, till the exact string License, excluded ( 6 matches )

The regex (?si).+?License\b would match from cursor location, till the word License, included, whatever its case ( 10 matches )

The regex (?s-i).+?(?=License\b) would match from cursor location, till the exact word License, excluded ( 5 matches )

Of course, you regex can, also, be a regular expression, itself ! For instance, the regex ?si).+?Th[eo]se would match from cursor location till the word those or these, included, whatever its case !

Notes :

The (?s) modifier forces the regex engine to consider that the dot meta-character can match, absolutely, any character ( standard and EOL characters ). So the regex .+ can matches any non-null range of characters, even located on several lines.

The question mark ?, placed after the syntax .+ ensures that the shortest range, between the cursor location and your own search expression, will be selected !

The syntax (?=.....) is a positive look-ahead assertion. At cursor position, that condition must be true in order to valid the overall match, although this condition is NOT a part of the final regex to match !

IMPORTANT :

For keeping this Find and Select behaviour, just close the Find dialog, with the ESC key, and go on, hitting the F3 key, for matching the other occurrences !

The very nice thing is that you just select the previous range(s), if you hit the SHIFT + F3 shortcut !

Natively, I don’t think so and I’m not aware that there is a plugin available
which might do this. Npp is not really a word processor.
In theory, a python or lua script might be able to do what you want but therefore
we would need more information what exactly is needed and what is provided.

@Werner-Vogt

maybe you encountered the same issue?

@Franco-Stellari Last time I checked I only had the double new 1 file problem when Autosave is enabled.
I’ll try the TakeNotes plugin, sounds what I needed for a long time. Thanks

Regarding the deactivation: If you use the installer, NPP deems your plugin as not stable (and says so) and will move it to the disabled folder. Sad but true.

Putting them in a separate folder would be fine, but there is still confusion just looking at the filename to tell if they are 32 bit or 64 bit executables. You can’t even right click on the file and look at the properties to see if it’s 32 bit or 64 bit.

AFAIK that URL is the only way to register new plugins. And then you have to wait for months ;)

Okay, thanks, time to make it! :D No, really it would be really usefull if you can see all the dups sentences without user any action at start and know if there are some other existences of the same phrases. The ability to check dups in other text editors just check the whole rows but it’s bad because if you have some small diference at start of the line and then you have the duplicated sentence behind that, program will not notice that as dup and it doesn’t find anything.
