@chtaylo3 , You only need to post in the “Support for Plugins Admin & NppPluginList” topic if there’s a feature or bug with the Plugins Admin and the list DLL itself. If there are issues with your PR to add it to NppPluginList, those will be discussed in the PR itself – and it looks like yours has been accepted already. If you want to just announce your new plugin, you can just create a new Topic in the Plugin Category to tell us about it. Hence, I am moving your post to its own Topic. And congrats on creating a lexer plugin!

@guy038 This method can be used to skip a string and replace part of a shorter, similar string, even when it precedes the long string. So, if the input text is:- abc abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz We can get an output like this:- ABC abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz By using this in the Find and Replace fields respectively with the “matches newline” box unticked (unchecked): FIND (?-s)abc.*xyz(*SKIP)(*F)|abc REPLACE \U$0 I am posting this here for the benefit of people who land on this page after searching online for something similar Explanation: Using $0 in the replace field is for replacing everything that is found while searching, which in this case is abc but due to the \U preceding it, it is replaced with capitals, ABC.
