@Jacopo-Remondina said: new custom “\if*” (”\newif\if*”) Hmm, re-reading, I am wondering if I have misunderstood. Maybe the asterisk really is a literal part of your syntax. And you weren’t treating it as a wildcard, because \newif doesn’t match the pattern implied by you thinking of asterisk as a wildcard. Maybe if you showed a small snipped of code (use the </> button in the toolbar to give a place between ``` to paste something like quote-delimiter-MCescape example, or my if/else/fi example: ``` "this is quoted delim" "a b c MC" x y z" ``` or ``` \if something blah \else something else blah \fi the end ``` And also show a screenshot (you can just paste the screenshot directly into your reply from your Windows clipboard), which shows the syntax-highlighted text in N++ plus the relevant portion of the UDL dialog (similar to my screenshot), it would help with understanding.

@Afik-Gilboa said: both of them have the “run as administrator” unchecked. so any ideas why it keeps opening in admin mode? apparently everything running as administrator here, not sure why but it’s everything… I recognize the symptoms - you probably have turned off the Windows UAC completely somehow and at the same time the account, you are logged in, has the administrator rights (then everything launched will have the admin rights as default). Check your Registry for EnableLUA REG_DWORD 0x00000000 in: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] (click on Windows Start, start typing “Reg” there, click on the Registry Editor (System) app offered and navigate there to the hive path above) If there is that 0x00000000 (OFF), change it do 0x00000001 (ON) and restart your PC.

@KRadiants said: 1: False on both counts. Here is an example line <attribute id="Selectors" type="LSString" value="SelectSkills(ed664663-93b9-4070-a54b-3c7b19c0e7b4,3);SelectSpells(61f79a30-2cac-4a7a-b5fe-50c89d307dd6,2,0,BardCantrip,,,AlwaysPrepared);SelectSpells(dcb45167-86bd-4297-9b9d-c295be51af5b,4,0,BardSpells);SelectEquipment(aab8c5b5-eacf-4867-8e5f-bd4de3a9132e,1,BardInstrument);SelectAbilityBonus(b9149c8e-52c8-46e5-9cb6-fc39301c05fe,AbilityBonus,2,1)"/> There is a blank before, and sometimes there is something before and/or after it Otherwise, this is correct. OK, so in this example you want to end up with: <attribute id="Selectors" type="LSString" value="SelectSkills(ed664663-93b9-4070-a54b-3c7b19c0e7b4,3);SelectSpells(61f79a30-2cac-4a7a-b5fe-50c89d307dd6,BardCantrip,,,AlwaysPrepared);SelectSpells(dcb45167-86bd-4297-9b9d-c295be51af5b,BardSpells);SelectEquipment(aab8c5b5-eacf-4867-8e5f-bd4de3a9132e,1,BardInstrument);SelectAbilityBonus(b9149c8e-52c8-46e5-9cb6-fc39301c05fe,AbilityBonus,2,1)"/> ? If that’s correct, try the same expression I suggested before, except remove the ^ from the front: Find what: (SelectSpells\([\d\-abcdef]+),\d+,\d+ Replace with: $1
