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

I do appreciate to temporarily reverse the search direction, with native N++ search, by hitting or releasing the Shift key ! Would it be possible to add this functionality to Search++ plugin ?

Yes, that makes sense for the step-wise Find and Replace buttons in the plain text search. I don’t think there’s any reason I can’t make it work.

@Claudia-Svenson said in How to set "UTF-8 WITH BOM" as default Encoding even for old but changed textfiles?:

When I load an existing old file (with UTF-8 only), then change something and save it, the old encoding remains.

How can I tell NP++ to apply the new default encoding to changed old files too?

I think you mean you want this to be automatic; but just in case you missed it, you can change the encoding of the file while you are editing it using Encoding | Convert to UTF-8-BOM. You just have to think to do it for every file you want to change.

Hi, @jak, @peterjones, @pnedev, @phil-pascal and All,

Ah…, OK :! But it’s quite funny, @jak, because it’s exactly what I proposed in my last two posts !!!

Giving the initial contents of your two files :

The Original Music Collection which contains : Coldplay yellow Elton John Rocket man Beatles abbey road Beatles Love me do Beatles hey Jude Monkees daydream believer The New Music file which contains : Beatles abbey road Beatles Love me do Beatles hey Jude Monkees daydream believer The move blackberry way (1) By running a search/ replacement with regular expressions :

I append, at the very end of the New music file, the contents of the Original Music Collection file, after a line of, at least, 3 equal signs, giving this temporary New music file :

Beatles abbey road Beatles Love me do Beatles hey Jude Monkees daydream believer The move blackberry way ========== Coldplay yellow Elton John Rocket man Beatles abbey road Beatles Love me do Beatles hey Jude Monkees daydream believer

Now :

Switch to the New Music file

Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )

Uncheck all box options

SEARCH (?x-is) ^ (.+\R) (?= (?s) .+? ^===+ .+ ^ \1) | (?s) ^ ===.+

REPLACE Leave EMPTY

Tick the Wrap around option

Select the Regular expression search mode ( IMPORTANT )

Click on the Replace All button

=> You should get your expected New Music file, below :

The move blackberry way Save the modification of the New Music file (2) By using the ComparePlus plugin :

First, use the Plugins > ComparePlus > Diff Visual Filters... option

Check the Hide added/removed lines option and valid this choice with the OK button

Then, use the specific option Plugins > ComparePlus > Find Unique lines

Now, select the New Music file ( IMPORTANT )

Run the Plugins > ComparePlus > Delete all/selected visible lines option

Run the Plugins > ComparePlus > Clear Active Compare option

Finally, save the modifications of the New Music file ( IMPORTANT )

Best Regards,

Hello,

I wanted to show you the purpose of this function.

Background:

Highlight a term in the browser Search for it in files using Everything via a button (Content) Right-click the found file to open it in Notepad++ and jump to the searched term.

See the video off it on Imgur

I’ve actually been using the editor since I started using computers privately (2008), but I’ve never really explored its inner workings and capabilities. It was never necessary so far—it has everything needed for everyday use.

I also wanted to sincerely thank you again for the prompt help—it was definitely a positive experience.

Best regards,
Björn
