@Robk-Blue said: My Notepad++ says it’s up to date at 8.9.3 Notepad++ has actually released two versions since v8.9.3, they just haven’t been triggered for auto-update, so the Check For Updates won’t show them. See FAQ: Why Can’t I Just Say “Most Recent Version”

Hello, @balancedcircular, @terry-r, @coises and All, I suppose that the following regex S/R should be close to what you want ! I consider the entire line because you may have other lines with attributes Name and/or Comments FIND (?-si)^(<RectangularPart Version=.+ Name=")\d\d\d (.+/.).+?(\d")(.+ Comments=").+(?=>) REPLACE $1$2$3$4$2$3 As @coises said, try this global replacement on a copy of your file ! If everything works as expected, I’ll explain you, next time, how all the regex syntax means ! Best Regards, guy038 I almost forgot the last line of your post. To simultaneously search for any of the three words Rafter, C.Tie and Web, simply use the regex (?-i)Rafter|C\.Tie|Web

@baberzaman , You can also check NppGTags plugin from Notepad++'s Plugin Manager (this is its project URL: https://github.com/pnedev/nppgtags) - it uses Global GTags to index your code-base and then you can look-up identifiers and do greps. P.S. You love Notepad++, “Boycott Notepad++” is probably not the proper place for your thread. It is more suitable for general discussion or plugins sections as a question and/or suggestion for Notepad++ improvement. BR

Hi @rwieber79 , @peterjones , I’m just seeing this issue, thank you Peter for pinging me. @rwieber79 , just as a side note - please write directly to https://github.com/pnedev/comparePlus/issues in the future if you encounbter problems with ComparePlus - this way I’ll be notified more quickly about the issue. As to the issue itself - please try setting your Notepad++ rendering mode to GDI for the moment. You can do that from Notepad++ Settings - MISC. section (there is a drop-down menu there selecting the rendering which is DirectWrite by default). Then after restarting Notepad++ try again your crashing compare and please write back here if crash is still present. I am in a middle of a large ComparePlus code portions rework and some time in the near future I will release a new version which should not have problems with DirectWrite rendering. BR

@jw I suggest adding an option to select the AI module.

@arnaud-derette , I have never used that plugin. But when I went to their homepage (https://github.com/Pascal-Krenckel/NppGZipFileViewer), they say, “This plugin is deprecated, please switch to CompressedFileViewer.” Once an author deprecates a plugin, there won’t be support for requests. I have put in a request to ask that the author remove the deprecated plugin from the Plugins Admin list (and, if they want, to add the replacement plugin into the list). But you should try their replacement plugin. And if it doesn’t improve your experience, you can go to the CompressedFileViewer’s issue tracker (https://github.com/Pascal-Krenckel/CompressedFileViewer/issues), and make your request(s) there.

Hi, All, I did additional tests, especially regarding characters allowed with or without quotes ! Although practically any character can be put within a file name when using the rename option of the Explorer, it happens that, under DOS, it is safer to surround the filename with double quotes when you insert most of the allowed symboles So, here is an updated version of my information part : Syntaxes / Chars ALWAYS forbidden : \x00-\x1F " * / : < > ? \ | \x7F : . at the END of file name : SPACE at the END of file name : ALL DOTS file name : PRN AUX NUL : COM1 COM2 com3 COM4 COM5 COM6 COM7 COM8 COM9 COM¹ COM² COM³ : com1 com2 com3 com4 com5 com6 com7 com8 com9 com¹ com² com³ : LPT1 LPT2 LPT3 LPT4 LPT5 lpt6 LPT7 LPT8 LPT9 LPT¹ LPT² LPT³ : lpt1 lpt2 lpt3 lpt4 lpt5 lpt6 lpt7 lpt8 lpt9 lpt¹ lpt² lpt³ Chars allowed WITHIN double quotes : ! % & ' ( ) + , ; = [ ] ^ ` { } ~ : SPACE when at BEGINNING of file name Chars allowed WITHOUT double quotes : # $ - @ _ : . if NOT at END of file name : SPACE if NOT at BEGINNING or END of file name You’ll note that my regex, described in my previous post, allows most of the symbols, even without quotes, as they, generally, can be inserted when using the Explorer !

@MarkusBodensee Thank you for your heads up. The fix will come with v8.9.5 release tomorrow.
