      @rinku-singh , What does a PR for NppGTags plugin have to do with the issue at hand? A random link, and the statement “i think you are at windows 10”, doesn’t help anyone understand what you are trying to get across. If you think the NppGTags solution will help @Guido-Thelen solve his problem, you will have to explain how and why you think that. edit: Are you suggesting, like in the issue behind that PR, that @Guido-Thelen should install/update his Visual C++ redistributable 2015-2019 ? /edit

      @Jaanyaar @Ekopalypse @Alan-Kilborn For the records: When installing the Notepad++ shell extension manually, one has to choose the version of the DLL with the same bitness like the Explorer itself, i.e. the bitness of his Windows installation. Since 32 bit Notepad++ can be installed on both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows, its installer contains two versions of NppShell_06.dll, a 32 bit and a 64 bit version. I guess @Jaanyaar luckily choose the correct one in his second attempt to install the shell extension. @Alan-Kilborn the error message received is not helpful Unhelpful and/or uncertain error messages are a well-known feature of Notepad++, aren’t they? ;-) Especially I think for Plugins Admin error messages. I even filed an issue regarding that a long time ago - nothing happened.

      @Alan-Kilborn said in Page break Text File saving: However, it feels like I am missing some point in the discussion. @PeterJones question to me has gone past the current theme, however I had previously responded to his statement “No, I do not know of a way to pass a name to the Save As command” in that (as you just pointed out) the filename field is already filled. I think the issue is really that the dialog is waiting for an enter key which I did try to manually insert into the macro code, that only made matters worse. I think the macro idea on the current theme is a dead duck. Terry

      @Patrik-Spacek said in Show a list of same words before replacement: a nice advanced addition to notepad++ Sounds like a job for a plugin. But just for that simple function, a little script serves well. But if a potential plugin added a bunch of analysis features, of which a histogram is just one…well, that would be valuable. My friend already coded all I need (in 20mins) and works perfectly, its compiled separately, but works great. (not in python) Sounds like overkill, but when one has to sponge off of a friend’s good will, you get what you get.

      @Alan-Kilborn Yes, I have seen this effect, too. It seems like character spacing is slightly smaller when DirectWrite rendering is activated. I tested some minutes ago with Npp v7.9.1 and saw that with DirectWrite the Scintilla window showed 85 characters and with standard rendering it showed 83 characters. In pixels the difference was 17 px. Here are screen shots from my test, captured with a screen magnifier: Unfortunately this issue causes the Horizontal Ruler plugin to draw an inaccurate ruler - Scintilla’s edge line is drawn at the correct position (after column 80) but the plugin’s ruler shows column number 88 at this postion:

      @D-A-G-13 said in Edit just one ocurrence in all files, not all ocurrences in all files.: It worked perfectly, I’m glad we got there eventually. It was hard work though. If you ask any further questions please do supply examples. If the data is sensitive (confidential) then alter the data but keep the structure as it originally was. It’s very important that examples as supplied for the very reason as shown in this thread. Presumably English isn’t your primary language as it seems you didn’t understand some of the questions well enough to give complete answers. That’s why examples are very important. Generally about 5 or so lines before and using the same example lines, repeat them showing the result you were expecting to get. Terry

      @mere-human From my recent discussion with Don and as Alan mentioned, Don prefers the opinions of “normal” users and to get his attention, those users need to open issues on github. Linking to previous discussions here in the community could be counter productive.

      @Javier-Rivas I have been able to achieve my objext using notepad++ although it is quite inelegant. I have a folder with 1000 text files, which I duplicated. I then renamed them with a suffix 000.txt -> 999.txt Each file has a unique first line, with a name and number, and all I did was do a search and replace to add in an extra zero and change the _001 to _0001 It will give me a unique first line, but will be a little more messy when combine with the other folder – but will work for what I am after. Thanks for your help!! Most appreciates. Daja PS I know I’ve done it before, and it’s driving me nuts that I don’t remember how or where I found it…

      @PeterJones Thanks. I do believe it works for you. I think maybe it’s environment issue. E.g. some settings in win10?

      how many useless controversies, as usual. I don’t really understand what’s suspicious about my request… I repeat it is a personal file of mine, and it is nothing so evil as it has been painted by those who have started this whole discussion. I really do not understand this totally inappropriate reaction. and perhaps only thing, you are right to say that here many ask for help while perhaps the real intent of this forum is to talk about the notepa++ program, but it is also true that many other users here ask how to solve their problems with reg-ex and other solutions, I am not the only one asking for help on this. Having said that then it is up to you to help or not, responding or not to the various posts. but having said this all the other controversies about a potentially legal file or not i find them really superfluous and useless, as already said a time ago …

      @Robin-Cruise said in replace / move numbers from one row to another with regular expression (in parentheses): by the way, on replace, what does it mean ?1(\3#)\2(\3#) (step by step, please) ? It’s fairly “easy”: :-) ?1 controls the rest of it: If capture group #1 was NOT matched, the replacement is “nothing” (aka deletion) If capture group #1 WAS matched, then the replacement consists of: opening parens: ( what was matched with capture group #3 a literal # closing parens: ) what was matched with capture group #2 opening parens: ( what was matched with capture group #3 a literal # closing parens: )

      @Alan-Kilborn said in SHort cut key to backward search Ignore specific path in the find in files option: Does the installer ask and then only install one localization (the one chosen)? Yes, the installer only installs one language by default (I rarely have used the installer, so I forget whether it can optionally do more)… That’s why https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/binary-translation/ says to download the additional language files yourself if you want more translations available.
