Hello, @coises, Regarding my post, I admit that the concept of a word is rather difficult to grasp. On that note, this is developed in the Martin Haspelmath’s article, published in June 2010, which highlights this point : Follow this link https://zenodo.org/records/225844 to see the PDF file or use https://zenodo.org/records/225844/files/WordSegmentaionFL.pdf to download it ! Here are a few excerpts of his publication : : At end of section 5, it is said : … On such a view, the claim that all languages have words (Radford et al. 1999: 145) would be interpretable only in the weaker sense that “all languages have a unit which falls between the minimal sign and the phrase” … And : … The basic problem remains the same: The units are defined in a language-specific way and cannot be equated across languages, and there is no reason to give special status to a unit called “word”'. … At beginning of section, 7 : … Linguists have “no good basis for identifying words across languages” … And in the conclusion, section 10 : … I conclude, from the arguments presented in this article, that there is “no definition of word” that can be applied to any language and that would yield consistent results that are in accord with our writing habits. Thus, let’s accept that our different regex engines give us an approximate count of the Words characters set ! Note that, on the contrary, the definition of Non-space characters is quite strict, since the Space characters set, that delimit them, consist of only 25 Unicode characters ! BR guy038

With a similar installation, but 64-bit, I have no problems with Plugins Admin Admin mode: ON Can you try running not as administrator. That can sometimes mess up permissions, so maybe for some strange reason, your Admin has been denied privilege on one or more of the DLL or EXE files mentioned? installing the 64-bit 8.9.8 on that machine, instead of 32-bit, and see if it behaves the same? confirm that you don’t have this problem with v8.9.7 on the same setup First few experiments on my end: 8.9.8-64bit, non-Admin: my daily driver, and I use Plugins Admin frequently: [image: 1789590084696-dc568790-b6ce-4a3c-aaaa-422d9f5937c8-image.jpeg] 8.9.8-64bit, Admin: [image: 1789589967329-aeeef823-c099-463b-b884-00b51add713b-image.jpeg] 8.9.8-32bit, Not Admin: [image: 1789589989950-e94d8be8-7ade-4530-8536-01033d4d4e35-image.jpeg] 8.9.8-32bit, Admin: [image: 1789590011468-5247e7c8-2097-41fe-ad98-0ed554c34815-image.jpeg] So, so far, on my Win 11 machine, I cannot replicate with 64-bit or 32-bit, admin or no, with the portable (or the installed, for 8.9.8-64) Update Virtual Win 10 machine: Portable 32-bit: Plugins Admin is there, whether normal run or Admin Portable 64-bit: Plugins Admin is there, whether normal run or Admin Installed 64-bit: Plugins Admin is there, whether normal run or Admin Installed 32-bit: Plugins Admin is there, whether normal run or Admin [image: 1789591116798-5959e708-0015-4e87-8f3a-50f4928df7b7-image.jpeg]Notepad++ v8.9.8 (32-bit) Build time: Aug 23 2026 - 17:20:01 Scintilla/Lexilla included: 5.6.6/5.5.3 Boost Regex included: 1_90 pugixml included: 1.16 nlohmann JSON included: 3.12.0 Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe Command Line: Admin mode: ON Local Conf mode: OFF Cloud Config: OFF WinGUp: present disableNppAutoUpdate.xml: absent Periodic Backup: ON Placeholders: OFF Scintilla Rendering Mode: SC_TECHNOLOGY_DIRECTWRITE (1) Multi-instance Mode: monoInst asNotepad: OFF File Status Auto-Detection: cdEnabledNew (for current file/tab only) Dark Mode: OFF Display Info: primary monitor: 1024x666, scaling 100% visible monitors count: 1 installed Display Class adapters: 0000: Description - VirtualBox Graphics Adapter (WDDM) 0000: DriverVersion - 7.1.8.18469 OS Name: Windows 10 Home (64-bit) OS Version: 22H2 OS Build: 19045.5854 Current ANSI codepage: 1252 Plugins: mimeTools (3.1) NppConverter (4.7) NppExport (0.4) I tried to get as close to your setup as I possibly can, and I still cannot replicate your problem.

Hello, @Roberts-Rozis, @Peterjones, @dennis-bulgrien, @coises and All, @Coises, I did some tests with my D USB key and with your Search++ plugin and the following generic regexes solve the problem nicely : So, @Roberts-Rozis and @dennis-bulgrien : Select The Plugins > Search++ > Search in Files... option Select your média (C, D, … ) on the left and don’t forget to check the Subfolders option and, possibly, the Hidden files option Select the Reg. exp. option for the Filter : type In the filter box : • For a search of any file, even WITHOUT extension, between level N minimum and M maximum, enter : ^(?:[^\\]+\\){N,M}[^\\]+ • For a search of any file, WITH an extension, between level N minimum and M maximum, enter : ^(?:[^\\]+\\){N,M}[^\\]+\..+ • For a search of any file with the EXACT extension 'txt' or 'log' or 'ini', between level N minimum and M maximum, enter : ^(?:[^\\]+\\){N,M}[^\\]+\.(?:txt|log|ini)$ You may also add a size and/or a date condition Of course, check your desired search options Finally, click on the Find in Files button IMPORTANT : Replace the letters N and M by true digits, with the condition N <= M. The M value may be missing ! The syntax of these regexes are specific to the Search++ These regexes allow any search in an arborescence, from level N minimum to level M maximum. However : You may search from level 0, if necessary You can go through all the structure with the 0, or the N, syntaxes Note that you can simulate the Search++ filtering mode by using one of the regexes below, directly in Notepad++ ^(?:[^\\\r\n]+\\){2,4}[^\\\r\n]+$ ^(?:[^\\\r\n]+\\){2,4}[^\\\r\n]+\..+ ^(?:[^\\\r\n]+\\){2,4}[^\\\r\n]+\.(?:txt|log|ini)$ Against the text below, that you’ll paste in a new tab : 987.txt abc\123.txt abc\def\456.txt abc\def\ghi\789.txt abc\def\ghi\jkl\012.txt abc\def\ghi\jkl\mno\pqr\stu\vwx\yz\999.txt 987.txt abc\123.txt abc\def\456.txt abc\def\ghi\789.ini abc\def\ghi\jkl\012.log abc\def\ghi\jkl\mno\pqr\stu\vwx\yz\999.txt LICENSE abc\LICENSE abc\def\LICENSE abc\def\ghi\LICENSE abc\def\ghi\jkl\LICENSE abc\def\ghi\jkl\mno\pqr\stu\vwx\yz\LICENSE You may also try, for example, the cases {0,3} or {0,} or even {4,}.

@Charles-Billow said: I see how to change fonts etc. for the document I am working on, but how do I change the default font/size/ and zoom level as the default for all new documents? The way you phrased that makes me think you might not understand what a text editor is. Text files are stored as the raw text: no individual text file / text-based-document has any concept of its own font or font-size. It is just text, and it is up to the text editor to decide what font or size to use. If you set Notepad++ to use a specific font or font-size, using the dialog that @markusbodensee shared with you, that will affect how Notepad++ displays it, but MS notepad.exe or VS Code or gvim will all use their own font and size, because it’s up to the app, not the file, what font and size to display text in. If you’ve changed the font and size that’s used “in the current document” in Notepad++, you’ve changed the font and size for all documents, new or old, in Notepad++. As far as Zoom level goes: Notepad++ remembers your previous zoom when you exit. But if you’ve set a reasonable font size as your default, then zoom should normally be at 100% (which is the default if you haven’t zoomed in or out yet). If you’re to the point that you start thinking you want to have the default zoom bigger or smaller than 100%, then think to yourself: do you really mean that you should change the font size bigger or smaller, instead? (Then again, some people are still killing trees from their text editor, so if you’re printing to paper, maybe you have one of the few use cases where it makes sense to use a smaller font but larger zoom, or vice versa.)

@Allinmyhead , Notepad++ has no notion of “post”. It just sees a big blob of text, and tries to apply the search string you give it. If you search for just your username, that’s the only piece that will match. If you use a more complicated regular expression (“regex”), you can define a fancy search that will match more. If you gave more details about what a “post” is formatted in text, we could help you come up with the right regex. For example, if the post is username: blah blah blah [newline][newline], then something like ^username: .*?\R\R would find everything from username: to the two newlines in a row. But Notepad++ is not just going to “hide” everything else, and allow you to look at just that. As you do each Find Next, it will just highlight the entire match. It might be possible, if you gave us examples of what this file would look like, to be able to strip out “posts” that aren’t yours, instead. (Similar to the above, but matching anything but your username at the start of the post). But until you give us example data that matches your formatting, and show which posts you’d like to keep and which to delete, there is no way we could randomly come up with the right regex to help you. Click the </> button in your reply. Put some data in the code-box that creates. Make sure the data matches your actual data, and is formatted exactly the same. Indicate which “posts” you’d like to keep vs delete. Make sure you give us a description of how you, as a human, would recognize where one post starts and ends. Update: it might actually be easier to use the Mark dialog to mark all the username posts, rather than the find/replace to delete the non-username posts. That would allow “copy marked lines”, and then the username-only ones could be pasted in a new file, rather than deleting the non-username posts from the original. But it depends on the shape of the data, and whether you’d prefer to just delete from your old file or create a new one…

@peter-wall said: It works if that setting is off. It works, full stop. You just need to understand the documentation. As ScintillaDoc says for SCI_SETFIRSTVISIBLELINE, “These messages retrieve and set the line number of the first visible line in the Scintilla view. The first line in the document is numbered 0. The value is a visible line rather than a document line.” (emhasis added). The “document line” in Scintilla is the same thing that Notepad++ numbers in the line number column: it’s the real line, no wrapping. The “visible line” is affected by hiding lines and/or wrapped lines: if you have lines hidden in the document, that can decrease the visible line index relative to the document line number; if you have lines wrapped, that can increase the visible line index relative to the document line number. Scintilla has commands like SCI_VISIBLEFROMDOCLINE and SCI_DOCLINEFROMVISIBLE to help transform between the two concepts, and SCI_WRAPCOUNT will help you determine how many visible lines a single document line will become. If you want to turn word wrapping off, set your visible line, then reinstate word-wrapping, that’s fine; but the Scintilla messages provide other ways to allow you to correctly handle visible-line vs display-line.

@PeterJones Thank YOU so much I copy Your overrideMap & udl_markdown in my folder and problem is solved. I wish program by default have this option. Thank you again dear Peter

Here are the latest binaries if you are interested: 32-bit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jmKaSU5YF2Hd2mHKAWDZyG4NDfx99Xnc/view?usp=drive_link 64-bit (x86_64): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mrqNicsfjfJITmrfeHlG2WEzgHZdokI-/view?usp=drive_link

It never inserts the text at the caret’s position for me: it either moves up a line and/or replaces the existing text. What am I misunderstanding?

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.
