@guy038 said in Search++: A work in progress:

Is there any chance that you truncated the decimal part in Search ++ or something like that ?

No. I did not mess with the ICU search at all; the string entered in the Find box is exactly what ICU’s regular expression engine gets.

I see that \p{nv=0.3333333333333333} (or any greater number of 3s) returns six matches. Likewise, \p{nv=0.66666666666666667} returns seven matches, but fewer 6s returns none.

Since the ICU4C function u_getNumericValue(UChar32 c) returns a double, I would guess that matching is dependent on the precise quirks of double-precision floating point format.

In addition, the special value \p{Numeric_Value=NaN} should return 323,567, against my Total_chars.txt file, instead of the value 0 !

There might not be anything you can enter that will be translated as Not-a-Number. I note that \p{Numeric_Type=None} does return 323,567 matches.

I also find that OneDrive folders aren’t always turned on when you first log in/start up; that’s why I preferred using network drives over OneDrive. When you first open a OneDrive folder in File Explorer, there should be a button somewhere that toggles the drive.

since I use the “real” portable version it all works fine

And this is the key point of this entire thread!

@Giuseppe-Aiosa-0 said in View only searched lines:

is there any function or existing plugin to view/extract only those line which match the tezt search?

If you like to experiment, I am working on a plugin for search which includes a Show command that hides all lines and then shows just the ones with matches.

It’s still a work in progress, but everyone is welcome to try it and offer bug reports, suggestions and complaints. See this thread for ongoing discussion; go here to find the latest version.

And please don’t forget the easiest solution, just uncheck the option to install the Context Menu Entry during Notepad++ installation.

@Martin-Bishop said in Notepad++ not responding:.

I followed the steps above and was certain it was a new plugin I installed earlier in the day, but the removal of plugin, creating a backup Notepad++ folder in %AppData% and completely uninstalling NP++ before reinstalling it hasn’t fixed anything.

For now, the only way to start it is to use the -noPlugin command line argument on my usual shortcut to the program.

If using -noPlugin makes it work, that means it’s one of your plugins, or an interaction between multiple plugins, causing the issue. Our freeze/crash/plugin FAQ explains how to try to isolate which plugin is the culprit.

@Rene-Balduk ,

Are you in an IT-controlled environment that requires connecting to a proxy to connect to the internet? If so, then you (or someone from IT) will need to launch Notepad++ As Admin, and set ? > Set Updater Proxy to the right value. (127.0.0.1 is your localhost – ie your own computer – and it surprises me that it would be pointing to a proxy on your own machine)

Yes—Notepad++ doesn’t automatically strip HTML, but copying through plain-text mode (like Notepad or Reader View) removes all tags. To retain <p> and <br>, avoid pasting via plain text—either paste directly into Blogger’s HTML view and clean unwanted code manually, or use an HTML cleaner tool to keep only specific tags instead of stripping everything.
