@Ekopalypse Thank you :)

@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.

@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

@Alan-Kilborn said , I downloaded Notepad ++ You mean we weren’t actually starting with a Notepad++ related problem from the very beginning I chose to interpret that statement as “I re-downloaded and re-installed Notepad++” (which could have had the effect of fixing the .txt file association back to Notepad++, so that they were properly icon’d for Notepad++ rather than Excel). Otherwise, … yeah, that statement gave me pause, too. :-) But ignoring that, I don’t often have my OneDrive folders showing files that it hasn’t downloaded to my machine, so I don’t remember how seamlessly that feature of OneDrive works; but maybe Notepad++ requests to open the file differently than some other common applications, so OneDrive doesn’t recognize the request and download the file promptly enough; or maybe Notepad++ isn’t patient enough while OneDrive processes the request, and if the OP tried to open the file a second time, it would be there. But i think “Always keep on this device”, and being patient once, should help the OP’s current problem.

@guy038 Nice :) Ok I will send You example thanks

@Sarah-Duong said in Remove duplicate lines in separate files: This is really difficult for me. Well, you have presented quite a significant problem, mainly due to the size. The actual process (as I’ve outlined previously) is not difficult, but given the number and size of the files the solution will take some effort by you to complete. So do you want a solution in the Windows environment or were you considering the Linux solution in which case this thread (collection of posts) can close? You say the average filesize is 200000 lines, if we suggest an average of 18 (you said 5 to 30 characters per line) characters per line this makes an average filesize of 3.6MB. I haven’t personally worked on a file of this size, however I’m sure NPP is capable of filesizes much larger. It can depend upon the environment such as whether NPP used is 32bit or 64bit, and whether you have additional plugins loaded. I still think it will only be possible to use NPP is the files are broken down into groups which will mean sorting each file first and breaking them apart by the first 1 or 2 characters. Then processing each group separately. Please advise whether you still want to consider this approach, we (on the forum) can help you, but be aware it will be a lengthy job. Terry

@astrosofista Yea, these days I guess Better Multiselection is the new hot thing! :-)

Hi @mark-marques, @ekopalypse, @alan-kilborn and All, To control which plugin(s) is/are loaded on Notepad++ start : Close any opened N++ instance Reach your active plugins location For any plugin , NOT desired, simply change the name of its folder ( for instance, add a simple character at beginning or end of each name ! ) Restart Notepad++ For instance, my own 7.8.5 plugins folder contains the following subfolders : BetterMultiSelection ComparePlus Config doc DSpellCheck ElasticTabstops mimeTools NppConverter NppExport NppPluginDemo If I want to open Notepad++, without, let’s say, the DSpellCheck and the Npp PluginDemo plugins, simply rename these 2 subfolders, like below : BetterMultiSelection ComparePlus Config doc -DSpellCheck ElasticTabstops mimeTools NppConverter NppExport -NppPluginDemo OR BetterMultiSelection ComparePlus Config doc DSpellCheck_0 ElasticTabstops mimeTools NppConverter NppExport NppPluginDemo_0 Best Regards, guy038

Hi, @garbage-gold, @astrosofista, @alan-kilborn and All, Again, I would use a combination of regex S/R and the column Editor feature ! So, from the input text, below : 358 293 866 511 58 767 562 644 163 569 414 305 973 16 692 128 353 1000 870 58 535 Using the following regex S/R : SEARCH (?-s)^(.+)\R(.+)\R(.+) REPLACE @@@@\1\t\2\t\3 we get the text, with words separated by a TAB char : @@@@358 293 866 @@@@511 58 767 @@@@562 644 163 @@@@569 414 305 @@@@973 16 692 @@@@128 353 1000 @@@@870 58 535 Now, place the caret after the two first @ characters of the first line And using the column editor ( Alt + C ) and inserting a list of numbers, beginning with 1, we obtain : @@1@@358 293 866 @@2@@511 58 767 @@3@@562 644 163 @@4@@569 414 305 @@5@@973 16 692 @@6@@128 353 1000 @@7@@870 58 535 Finally, using the simple S/R : SEARCH \t REPLACE \r\n ( or \n only for Unix files ) You’ll have your expected text : @@1@@358 293 866 @@2@@511 58 767 @@3@@562 644 163 @@4@@569 414 305 @@5@@973 16 692 @@6@@128 353 1000 @@7@@870 58 535 Best Regards, guy038

@Terry-R Thank you. I tried the way you suggested and it worked.

I didn’t find the way to change the title of login and I don’t think it is configurable. I’ve done a feature request in the module of NodeBB in question: https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-sso-oauth/issues/24 I sent also an email for the same request to NodeBB support team ( @guy038 is in CC ). So let’s wait to see if it can be changed.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks mate. No its not to much reading at all. Simply pointing me in the right direction would have been a sufficient answer. Thank you for the time it took you.

@Jose-Manuel-Vericat-Della said in Collapsing uncollapsing parts of code: convoluted and not very practical Don’t knock it until you try it. At least 3 people have upvoted my suggestion. It can’t be that bad. :-) do not know if the development team can introduce a new setting as “stop uncollapsing” or something similar per every instance This seems to be where you are placing your hopes. That’s probably not the best plan. One-off needs are not usually put into a general-purpose product. But, if you’d like, you can make a feature request by following the instructions here: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/15741/faq-desk-feature-request-or-bug-report I’ll continue to put up with the full uncollapsed code in the second… That seems silly, unless you’ve actually tried my proposal and it doesn’t work, or you’ve tried it and you don’t like it for some other reason. It’s your life. :-)

Yes! That’s it. All working perfectly now. Yes, you’re quite correct, I have customised the settings (quite a bit), so that’s what’s happening. I’ll be aware of that for future issues. It may well be simpler for me to keep a track of my customisations, then uninstall and reinstall Notepad++ for a new upgrade, along the lines of what @Alan-Kilborn does with his portable version. And thank you @PeterJones for your kind comments.

@MAPJe71 Dear MAPJe71, thank you for the excellent solution. It worked perfectly right out-of-the-box and does exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again and best regards Martin

@PeterJones Thank You Peter; works ! David Visser

@Aadil-Sohail , I am going to take a wild guess (though you weren’t very clear in your original post), since you included the Notepad++ specific shortcuts.xml reference, that you are editing your website code (assumed HTML) in Notepad++, and used Run > Launch In Chrome to view your website in a browser. I am further going to assume that you named your file blah rather than blah.html, because then Chrome would have no reason in the world to assume that the underlying bytes were meant to be html, and would thus show you the raw source code, rather than rendering the HTML. I am going to assume that Microsoft, in their Edge browser, like in many other Microsoft products, assumes it knows better than the user what should really happen, and ignores the filetype, and instead guesses at the “real” filetype, even when you pass it a file with no extension Fortunately, if I am right, Notepad++ will be very useful, because it will show the full file path, including directory, name, and extension, in the title bar (unless you have set Settings > Preferences > MISC to enable Show only filename in title bar as described in the official preferences documentation – if so, disable that). Or you can hover over the tab name, and the full path, name, and extension will be shown. If I am right, use File > Rename to fix the name to actually include .html in the name. I could be wrong, however, because you gave us next to nothing to go on. Or Alan could be right, and you were actually asking an HTML/webcoding question rather than asking a question specific to Notepad++. But I’m hoping that my wild guess is right, and I’ve been able to help you, despite your lack of information. Or that, at the very least, it will encourage you to provide more information so that we can help you. (Though if it’s an HTML question, Alan is right, and this isn’t the right place)

I said, have parentheses (acos(x)), you need Prefix Mode enabled Sorry; something felt odd about that, so I did more experimenting. If you followed that advice, and had a third function defined multiarg, which would be used like multiarg(a, b, c) in your code, only the multiarg(a, would be highlighted, which would be just weird. The right way to handle parentheses: turn off the Prefix Mode (don’t need it anymore); go to the Operators & Delimiters; here, you have two choices: if you want the parens highlighted, but the stuff between not highlighted, then put ( and ) inside the Operators 1 box (space-separated list). It would then render like the following (where I chose green as the style): See that the function names are red, the parens are green, and the args are default (black) if you want the parens and the stuff between highlighted instead, then choose an unused Delimiter # style (I chose #1 and set it to Blue), with Open = ( and Close = ). This will show up as: See that the function name is still red, the parens and arguments and commas are blue. The Prefix Mode setting would allow you to write something like open in the list, and every function that started with open, like openFile, openDoor, and openSesame would all be highlighted with that one entry of open.
