Quote: “But writing the Manual is not that interesting as developing something new, especially taking into account that there are not many people in this world who actually read any manual.”

I understand your point, but one reason why I like your plugin so much is that it provides a manual! I appreciate your effort to do this and I read it!

Also I think your plugin should provide a manual because it’s a powerful plugin with a lot of features. Most useful is the chapter “Advanced usage” but you also provide some intersting details in other sections of the manual (e.g. “Using several copies of NppExec”). And the chapter “Compiling” inspired me to write a NppExec script which turns Notepad++ into some sort of simple IDE for 12 programming languages (including Batch, VBScript, InnoSetup, TSQL, Gnuplot, C and C#).

Your plugin is for coders and I think you will find a lot of them reading manuals. Please continue your work on this regard.

@Ramon-Beiboer ,

Sorry that SCI_SELECTALL didn’t work for you. In my copy of NppExec 0.6 RC1 and 32bit NPP 7.5.6, the exact script I posted works (I just re-ran it to make sure), so I don’t know why it didn’t for you.

And thanks, @Scott-Sumner, for chiming in with the hook examples

@babzog

Shows for ME…which probably just means we need more details from YOU. :)

Alright, thanks a lot, its already in github, let me make a post to share it here :)

Yes thats it exactly
So sad… I’ll do without it.
Maybe it could be an improvement to do to UDL?

Thanks

Well if we are opening it up to scripts, then I’ll offer up the following Pythonscript; I call it DeleteLinesWithClipboardText.py:

def DLWCT__main(): if not editor.getSelectionEmpty(): return # keep it simple; maybe prompt user to cancel selection and re-run... if not editor.canPaste(): return # keep it simple; maybe prompt user that no text is in clipboard... orig_document_len = editor.getTextLength() editor.beginUndoAction() editor.paste() pasted_text_len = editor.getTextLength() - orig_document_len curr_pos = editor.getCurrentPos() clipboard_text = editor.getTextRange(curr_pos - pasted_text_len, curr_pos) editor.deleteRange(curr_pos - pasted_text_len, pasted_text_len) if '\r' in clipboard_text or '\n' in clipboard_text: # keep it simple; don't allow multiline search text editor.endUndoAction() return del_line_list = [] find_start_pos = 0 while True: f = editor.findText(FINDOPTION.MATCHCASE, find_start_pos, editor.getTextLength(), clipboard_text) if f == None: break (found_start_pos, found_end_pos) = f line_nbr = editor.lineFromPosition(found_start_pos) if len(del_line_list) > 0: if del_line_list[0] != line_nbr: del_line_list.insert(0, line_nbr) else: del_line_list.append(line_nbr) find_start_pos = found_end_pos for line in del_line_list: editor.deleteLine(line) editor.endUndoAction() DLWCT__main()

The only tricky part is in getting the clipboard data. I paste the clipboard contents into the document, read what was just pasted, and then delete those contents. After that it is a simple matter to locate the desired text and delete the lines it occurs on.

@Jeremy-Fegenbush

Why is this a “New Capability”? This has existed for many years. (confused)

I’d use iconv (for example, from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libiconv.htm) for the conversion.
And PythonScript or NppExec plugin can be used to create a script that will call iconv to convert the current file.

For those who are new to NppExec:

Here is some brief info about NppExec for new users:

NppExec adds a Console window at the bottom of Notepad++'s window;
This Console window allows to run different console programs directly in it;
Also there is Plugins -> NppExec -> Execute… window that allows to execute NppExec’s scripts (set of commands). NppExec’s commands and variables are listed in the “NppExec.txt” file. To get more details, type “help” (without the quotes) directly in NppExec’s Console. To get a detailed help about any NppExec’s command, type “help [command]” - e.g. “help npp_open” or “help set”.
And don’t forget about Plugins -> NppExec -> Help/Manual.

Installation:

Just unpack the NppExec zip-archive to the folder “Notepad++\plugins”.
It will extract the file “NppExec.dll” as well as the “doc\NppExec” and “NppExec” subfolders.

@Bonnie-Harmon

if you know python you could use the python script plugin to let a script do the job.

Hi Claudia,
many thanks for your answer! That’s what I was looking for. I don’t understand why I did not find it myself!!
