A new version of MultiReplace (v5.0.0.35) is ready and will be available with the next Notepad++ release. For early testing, it can already be downloaded here.
The focus of this release is on a new Settings Panel, improved Search Results visualization, and overall usability enhancements.
Key Features & Improvements
Settings Panel: A comprehensive configuration dialog replaces manual INI file editing. All options are now organized into clear categories: Search & Replace, List View, CSV Options, Export, and Appearance.
Refined Toolbar Icon: The icon has been updated to improve clarity.
List Search Bar: Press
Ctrl+F while focused on the replacement list to open a search bar. Quickly find entries in large lists by searching through the ‘Find’ and ‘Replace’ columns.
Search Results Window Enhancements:
Color-coded matches (up to 28 colors) for easy visual distinction per list entry.
Double-click the
Matches count to jump directly to the results.
Duplicate Line Detection: Identify and mark duplicate CSV rows. Delete or inspect duplicates with optional bookmark navigation.
Binary Escape Sequence: Extended mode now supports \bNNNNNNNN for binary values.
tonum() Function: New helper to convert strings to numbers, supporting both dot and comma as decimal separators.
MATCH and CAP Variables: Now always return strings. Use tonum(CAP1) for calculations.
Selection Mode: The ‘In Selection’ radio button no longer disables itself, enabling smoother repeated searches.
Document Filtering for Open Docs: Find and Replace in Open Documents now supports wildcard-based filename filtering.
Unified Filter Syntax: Filters now use semicolons (;) as separators in both ‘Open Documents’ and ‘Find in Files’ modes. This enables filtering for filenames containing spaces.
Performance: Various optimizations for Replace All, Find All, and FlowTabs alignment on large files.
