@lycan-thrope
As a note, Peter, thanks for that code. I had forgotten an older but not obsolete alternative to function in the dBASE language, namely procedure that is essentially the same as a function’s syntax. It used to be used pre OOP days, and dBASE used to differentiate them, but that disappeared when it went OOP, but it was never removed and maintained to be compatible because the OOP version is still able to run older procedural code and it’s still recognized.

I was able to figure out how to add that in the OR that you had setup, and the first time I ran it, it showed that it was highlighting a different aspect of dBASE, where you can set procedure to a file that has external code and it highlighted the word to and included it in the FunctionList panel, so I was able after learning from guy038 the different way to write regex to (!to) and successfully run it without error. Learning a lot from you guys. :-)

Just feeling good about that…not as good as you guys yet ;), but working on it.

@neil-schipper

Wow, Neil, thanks for dealing with THAT, and sparing me. :-)

@Muthuraj-Madasamy

Additional good reference on regular expressions (the technique shown above to solve the problem) is found starting HERE.

@alan-kilborn Thanks, I’ll look at those. I figured the main contributor to slowness was promiscuous backtracking on lines that don’t meet the mark condition.

@deleelee said in Toolbar displaying all buttons:

Plugins : (most listings deleted) _CustomizeToolbar.dll

I’m going to guess that Customize Toolbar “lost” it’s configuration file (your_plugins_path)\Config\CustomizeToolbar.dat and it is no longer suppressing the display of some toolbar icons. The .dat file may need to be recreated if it exists but is corrupted. I suggest using the most recent version of the plugin (5.3) as I’ve found it to be much more stable when changing the active Notepad++ executable within the same installation.

@ludamo-0 said in Remove extra NP++ description from "Open with..." menu!:

@ten2120 Well again the details are a little hazy but there are a number of programs which have this value. The simplest would be wordpad.exe seeing it is built in to windows, or wmplayer.exe. Also common programs like vlc and irfanview have it (originally I think). I may have used procmon from SysInternals to see what keys are referenced when R-clicking in explorer.

Thanks. Big help, I would check it out (SysInternals). 👍

@alan-kilborn Thank you. This is what I was anticipating after searching around a bit. I’ll take some time to familiarize myself with this and see if I can get it to work.

@peterjones Many thanks. You are pro user (of NP++) and I know nothing about “NP++”!

I always have checked all “Enable global xxx…” on. I unchecked them and changed “Default Style” (in Style Config) to my specific font and it fixed that :) . The missing characters are shown with that specific font and style.

Thanks again… It was my headache for a long time.

@gstavi said in What is backup (in Notepad++ context)? ... let the flames raise high:

Git is ALWAYS local

A point to be made here is that a “local” backup is good up to a point. A remote backup has the advantage that it is not on the same physical medium, thus is impervious to that medium going south.

Thus, if you’re relying on “local” backup, it should be to a different drive. It’s kind of obvious, but if we’re discussing all-things-backup here, perhaps it is worth specific mention.

@peterjones

Thanks Peter & everyone for replying. [^\d]+ or \D+ worked perfectly. Even the output is coming as 1234567891|111|22|111|22|333|456|01010|8888899999. I can filter this and limit the characters, and it’s fine as make the final output as 1234567891|333|111|22.

I was trying this regex to get \d{10}, and it selects all 10 digits, but I am not sure how to use it in multiline format. I tried this
\d{10}
\d{3}/\d{2}
\d{3}
or used \n for next line

and it didn’t worked, obviously I made myself fool as am not aware about regex formats.

But i am facing issue again, Suppose there are 3-4 alternative of example one (as per OP) , this regex (\D+), it combines all the letters in one row instead of separate rows like below

1234567891|111|22|111|22|333|456|01010|8888899999|1234567891|111|22|111|22|333|456|01010|8888899999|1234567891|111|22|111|22|333|456|01010|8888899999

If it can give me result like this
1234567891|111|22|111|22|333|456|01010|8888899999
1234567891|111|22|111|22|333|456|01010|8888899999
1234567891|111|22|111|22|333|456|01010|8888899999

I can filter it with character limits. any solution to keep rows

I hope I am able to clarify my question this time. Love to everyone. :)

@derek-brown said in Installing outdated plugin...:

The code appears to be here. You could try to compile it in 64-bit and make any other updates that may be necessary.

Or @Al-Bateman could look at this post which shows a compiled 64bit DLL in the same repo…

@gary-neill said in Drag to reorder documents in Documet List?:

as you seem to know what you are talking about

I’ve been accused of a lot of things, but rarely that. :-)

@roweryan said in Presentation mode?:

Maybe this could make it to mainline np++ one day

It seems perfect as an add-on script.
Glad that it works for you.

Now you have a reason to never exit N++.
If you need such a reason.
:-)

@jo-business You didn’t take @alan-kilborn’s advice. Change what you have in the Recherche box to \r\n and you should be fine.

Also, play with the menu options under View -> Show Symbol (or it’s equivalent in your language) to help you to see what is normally invisible but sometimes important.

Finally, I’m pretty sure:

For the moment in the search tab I put : \nThey’re not the only ones.

is not what you actually typed. Have a look at https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/21965/please-read-before-posting/1 and learn to use the triple backquote techniques for (mostly) trouble free communication when posting here.

@alan-kilborn said in Count Blank Rows:

Maybe change your regular expression to ^\s*\R ?

Yea…my advice was bad. :-(
It will count several blank lines in a row as one.
Go with the Peter solution.

@stephane352 said in Request: default filename is first line of file:

Using first line as default filename would be nice for text files though.

Even that feels yucky to me and not something the Notepad++ developers would be likely to implement.

If you must have it, go with the script approach. To work effectively, though, the script needs to be “rounded out” a bit more. I wasn’t inclined to do that, because I’d only do that kind of thing if it was some capability I had a lot of interest in. Because I don’t…someone else would have to do it.

@yang-yongzhao said in Find&Replace does not work in UI:

the pop window just goes to another monitor

The Find window remembers where you last put it, so, if this is on another monitor, so be it.

@alan-kilborn Thank You, Solved :-)

@rinku-singh ,

notepad++.exe /S results in:
2a2e2888-d9cb-4df8-afd2-3d73a0e1ece9-image.png

Please stop giving false information. It is not helpful.

@Alejandro-Pérez-Soto ,
If you pass /S to the installer, on the other hand, as documented in the user manual, that is supposed to be “silent” installation… though if it’s “silent” enough for your needs is not something I can assess.

@michael-vincent said in Autosave plugin:

Of course do this with N++ not running

Actually, I think doing it with N++ running is OK.

@alan-kilborn Hi Alan,
Thank you for that piece of code!
