@Coises said: I expect that Version 0.6.5 will fix this. Noted, thanks again, and I’ll let him know — although he actually doesn’t typically use regex for his own purposes.

@J-Mark-Barfield , that was not a “regedit”, that was a normal command-line command all those two commands did was run an instance of notepad++.exe without RunAsAdmin privileges, even before you made the change to the executable compatibility settings it was completely unnecessary all you had to do was exit Notepad++ application completely (so it wasn’t running), then do the steps I explained to get notepad++.exe to not run as admin, and then the next time you ran Notepad++ (either using your shortcut or double clicking on the exe or running the exe from the command line normally or double clicking on a text file or right clicking and choosing Edit with Notepad++) would have run Notepad++ not as admin if you didn’t exit Notepad++ first, then the still running Notepad++ instance would still be running as Admin. Changing the exe properties while the exe is running doesn’t magically drop the running Notepad++ out of Admin mode. And thus your right click would not have worked, because the running Notepad++ was still in Admin mode. all you did by doing those extra commands was close the Notepad++ that was running as admin open a new instance that wasn’t running as admin change the exe properties so that it wouldn’t run as admin next time (I understand that you got it working, so you don’t really care at this point. But I don’t want future people to read this discussion, and come to the wrong conclusion that they need to do your extra steps. Those steps were completely unnecessary.)

@petey200 said: Any keywords to require all the hits The “logic gates” link I gave you includes how to do “AND” (“requires A and B and C”) With logic, you can create any more complicated rules you want (like “(A AND B) BUT NOT (C OR D)”) by nesting inside the constructs. Play with the expressions from that “logic gates” page, see what they do; try nesting them; get a feel for how the logic works together. Soon, you’ll be able to craft the combinations that most help you with your data.

@PeterJones thanks mate.

Search++ version 0.6.5 is available: Update to ICU 78.3 and use static linking for ICU. This is expected to fix problems some testers have had running Search++ on older systems or on minimal Windows installs (like Windows Sandbox). For most users there will be no functional difference between this version and version 0.6.4. Note: There are five icu——.dll files in older versions of Search++ that are not used beginning with version 0.6.5; so it is best to delete the existing Search++ folder (or its contents) before copying, rather than copying the new folder over the old one.

@Afik-Gilboa said: and I am not doing “run as admin”, at least not on purpose Your Debug Info clearly indicates you are running as Admin, and I believe that your Notepad++ title bar will also say Administrator on it. If you aren’t doing it on purpose, then you need to check your Windows right-click Properties on notepad++.exe and whatever shortcut you are using (on your desktop, task bar, or start menu) and see if one of them has it set to run as Admin in the Compatibility tab (see this recent discussion if you need more on how to check executables or shortcuts for run-as-admin and how to change that). there is no “NppFTP.xml” file in Documents. Ugh. I had forgotten this, because at one point I knew that NPPM_GETPLUGINSCONFIGDIR ignores cloud or settingsDir settings, and instead always uses either AppData or Portable. Annoying “feature” of the message. :-( Sorry for the bad memory. So, anyway, that means that NppFTP should be using %AppData%\Notepad++\plugins\config\NppFTP\ directory, and the NppFTP.xml should be there, instead. So that’s where you should go looking for it. See which of those directories exist, and look at the permissions of the directories and files there.

@Passant-Delarue , Initial guess: turn off “. matches newline”, otherwise your .* will greedily match the whole file.

Since it’s essentially working at this point, I’ve renamed the Topic to “BETA” @mpheath , I have updated the README at https://github.com/pryrt/NppPlugin-HiddenLexers to enumerate available options I think I’ll be patient, and give the beta test a while longer, so won’t try to rush to release it before N++ v8.9.8’s PluginsAdmin list is finalized.
