@Ekopalypse Thank you :)

@Terry-R I don’t have any sync software configured on the directory in question. And the issue isn’t that the contents of the file are being overwritten, it’s that I don’t even have the option to save new files after the initial save. The Save command is disabled in the menu, the Control-S keyboard shortcut doesn’t work, and all visual indicators inside of Notepad++ that normally indicate that a file has been modified aren’t working. I can make changes in the file all day long and it refuses to let me save.

@astrosofista Yes, that is exactly what I need. It seems that there are some symbols I cannot write . It replaces the color or does not display when accompanied by another symbol.

@PeterJones said in open selected file in default application: @Edificio-Rascacielos-Tenerife said in open selected file in default application: Why don’t you put this in the contextual menu for the npp version ? f Two reasons. First, because the “you” you are talking to are fellow Notepad++ users; we aren’t employees of the Notepad++ Corporation (which doesn’t exist); while some of us have contributed to the codebase, mostly, we are just users, like you. Second, the development team (and especially the lead developer) have made Notepad++ highly configurable; as they cannot read the mind of every single user to know exactly how each individual wants all the context menus, and because multiple users disagree on what they want = you might want OpenWithDefaultApp in the context menu by default, but somebody else, or thousands of somebody else, might not want something so useless cluttering the already-full context menu; it’s a matter of opinion. So the developers put in what they think are reasonable defaults, and make it configurable. And they don’t consider editing a configuration file to be “programming”, so they don’t expect that it would be too difficult, especially when people in this forum give you the step-by-step instructions on how to do it, tailored to your individual desires. Done ! Then reopen the program all began to work. Glad it’s working for you. Owww Peter. Understood. For me that feature is important because let me use the txt file like a connecting panel with everything. The url are native clickable, so I use clickable folder (by selection) , clickable file. From the txt file I can go everywhere. But that is my freedom now. Thanks Everybody !!!

I finally got some time to look deeper into the responses here. Thanks to everyone for their input. Peter said: I’ll stick with normals. Whether @Alan-Kilborn wants to go that route is up to him. I took Peter’s “advice” and changed my ButtonFace to (224, 224, 224). This indeed makes the “inactive-but-inside” function in the list have better noticeability, without having any other negatives elsewhere in the Notepad++ (or Windows) UI. I’m keeping that setting! :-)

@richlux said in Different indicator for unsaved Tabs: I would need to make the changes every time I upgraded Notepad++. True; it’s called “patching”. :-) But unlike most patching, it doesn’t require rebuilding the source code. Plus AFAIK Resource Hacker has a command line way of doing things, in addition to its GUI, so it could be relatively painless to have truly personalized tab bar icons! I might try it just to see what it would look like. Additional prototypes of acceptable solutions would be good I’m sure.

:-D :-D

Thanks for the help

@Alan-Kilborn said in Need help on replacing text: BET \1 AND \2 Thank you so much for your time and patience and the link. There’s always something new to learn. Claude :-)

Thanks guy038 for the tip!

@PeterJones, @Alan-Kilborn It works. Thanks a lot.

@Alan-Kilborn Thank you so much, Alan. It’s years since I did any proper programming, though that was a previous occupation. Guess I’m going to have to teach myself to use Python!

@Martin-X said in Regex plese help - how to remove every 2nd and 3rd: So i want to use one regex command to delete second and third line and “Login:” I will give you some guidance. If you look at @Alan-Kilborn regex you will see the line that is written back is enclosed in brackets in the Find What line. The replace with line is \1 which is how we write back that information within the bracket. By changing the contents of the bracket (essentially moving the bracket to the right) you will change what the regex keeps. Also note that you may have overlooked the space in the line you want to keep, now removing the front portion, so keep that in mind when editing his regex. Terry

Hello, @John-slee, Ah, of course, if you want to capture part(s) of the regex, needed in replacement, you need to surround these parts with parentheses. In that case we have to change the non-capturing group (?s:.+?) into a capturing group, with the in-line modifier inside so the new syntax ((?s).+?) So the final regex would be : SEARCH (?-s)(^==.+\R)((?s).+?)(?===|\Z) with two groups : The header line with its EOL ( group 1 ) The subsequent lines of each block, with their line-breaks ( group 2 ) However, as you said : so that it captures the Header line (without the EndofLine) This final regex should be : SEARCH (?-s)(^==.+)\R((?s).+?)(?===|\Z) Best Regards guy038

@ all i have found a solution: IScintillaGateway editor = new ScintillaGateway(PluginBase.GetCurrentScintilla()); editor.SetSavePoint(); Win32.SendMessage(PluginBase.nppData._nppHandle, (uint)NppMsg.NPPM_MENUCOMMAND, 0, NppMenuCmd.IDM_FILE_CLOSE); work wit current tab. thanks for inspiration

Alright, thank you!

Thanks a lot, Peter! Everything turned out as I wanted :)

@Ekopalypse , thanks. I will need to dig a bit to get a around.

@gurikbal-singh said in Can I "Find / Replace all" only apply to selected?: but it works for Multi-line search and replace perfectly. But that wasn’t the OP’s question. Please try to not give answers that are misleading.
