Hello, @coises and All, Sorry, @coises, but I came acroos some differences of counting, in regex mode, between your two plugins Columns++ and Search++ For my tests, I used my Total_Chars.txt file that you can download from this location : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DTDQdUMgC-c2Fkc-LvlQghvtwMYyoWi3/view?usp=sharing All countings are run in regex mode with the Match case option enabled Some time ago, I made a list of all Unicode blocks of the last version 17.0. Presently, while testing the MultiReplace plugin of @thomas-knoefel, I updated this list and took the opportunity to include the count results obtained with Search++ alongside those already provided by Columns++ And I was very surprised because there are a lot of differences in the results between your two plugins Columns++ and Search++ !? Here is a non-exhaustive list of the différenes observed : •-------------------------------•----------------------------------------------------•----------•----------• •------------•-----------•-----------• | Block range | Block name | Total | Assigned | | N++ / MRep | Columns++ | Search++ | | | | Code-Pts | Code-Pts | | Word Chrs | Word Chrs | Word Chrs | •-------------------------------•----------------------------------------------------•----------•----------• •------------•-----------•-----------• | (?=\w)[\x{0400}-\x{04FF}] | Cyrillic | 256 | 256 | | 248 !

The Plane 2 and Plane 3 give identical results. Although this post focuses on differences between your two plugins, remark that the native Notepad++ search and the MultiReplace search give identical results, throughout all the Unicode planes and blocks. As promised, I’ll give you, very soon, my suggestions and preferences regarding your post ! Best Regards, guy038

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.

@Keith-Collyer said: For now, I don’t have Edge […]. In case anyone else is interested, you can try previewing plain-text wireloom files with this development build of Preview HTML. MS Edge is still required, since the wireloom JS library is only available as an EcmaScript module, which Internet Explorer doesn’t support. [image: 1789252579952-preview-html-vnext-wireloom.gif] I’m really looking to use it on markdown files within NP++. I would say wireloom looks more like YAML, with its bash-style # comments and significant leading whitespace (note the syntax highlighting in the GIF illustration above).
