@rdipardo Following a comment chain, I ended up adding a request to the markdig libraryhere: https://github.com/xoofx/markdig/issues/952

Hello, @coises and All, Sorry, @coises, but I came acroos some differences of counting, in regex mode, between your two plugins Columns++ and Search++ For my tests, I used my Total_Chars.txt file that you can download from this location : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DTDQdUMgC-c2Fkc-LvlQghvtwMYyoWi3/view?usp=sharing All countings are run in regex mode with the Match case option enabled Some time ago, I made a list of all Unicode blocks of the last version 17.0. Presently, while testing the MultiReplace plugin of @thomas-knoefel, I updated this list and took the opportunity to include the count results obtained with Search++ alongside those already provided by Columns++ And I was very surprised because there are a lot of differences in the results between your two plugins Columns++ and Search++ !? Here is a non-exhaustive list of the différenes observed : •-------------------------------•----------------------------------------------------•----------•----------• •------------•-----------•-----------• | Block range | Block name | Total | Assigned | | N++ / MRep | Columns++ | Search++ | | | | Code-Pts | Code-Pts | | Word Chrs | Word Chrs | Word Chrs | •-------------------------------•----------------------------------------------------•----------•----------• •------------•-----------•-----------• | (?=\w)[\x{0400}-\x{04FF}] | Cyrillic | 256 | 256 | | 248 !

The Plane 2 and Plane 3 give identical results. Although this post focuses on differences between your two plugins, remark that the native Notepad++ search and the MultiReplace search give identical results, throughout all the Unicode planes and blocks. As promised, I’ll give you, very soon, my suggestions and preferences regarding your post ! Best Regards, guy038

MultiReplace 6.1 is out and will land in Plugin Admin with the next Notepad++ release. The focus of this release is Replace All in One Pass, running the whole list in a single left-to-right sweep instead of one full pass per entry, together with a reworked Find/Replace in Files and a handful of list and UI improvements. Several new options live under Plugins > MultiReplace > Settings. Download: Latest build Key Features & Improvements Replace All in One Pass: Runs the whole list in a single pass instead of one full Replace All per entry, so results build on each other left to right. With cat → dog and dog → cat, sequential mode turns “cat dog” into “cat cat”, one pass turns it into “dog cat”. Much faster on large documents. Toggle per tab, right-click the list tab. Use Open Documents: Find/Replace in Files can now work on files already open in Notepad++ as the live document, unsaved changes included, instead of the copy on disk. New checkbox in Settings. Skip Binary Files: New option for Find/Replace in Files (on by default), same detection as ripgrep and VS Code. Also adds UTF-16 detection without a BOM, and skipped files are always reported, broken down by reason. CSV Header Rows: Find/Replace now always searches header rows too. “Header rows to exclude” only protects sorting and duplicate detection. Collapse to File List: New Search Results dock option folding every search block down to just file names and hit counts. Ctrl/Shift-click works in the fold margin, same as Notepad++'s own Search Results panel. Library Mode: “Keep list always visible” can now be switched right from the Use List button’s context menu, no detour through Settings. Add New Row: Takes over the dialog’s current search options instead of starting all off. Find/Replace text still starts empty. Duplicate Row Reporting: A list row that exactly duplicates an earlier enabled one is skipped as before, but the status line now tells you how many rows were skipped.
