@Antheds-Kennel To find just just one line after the #STNEW:_TEST- string, type #STNEW:_TEST-\d+\R\K(?:.*.*) in the Find field and then leave the Replace field blank, tick/select the Regular expression mode and hit Replace All or Replace in files if you want to do this in multiple files to get rid of it (that will get rid of only one line, just below the line beginning with #STNEW:_TEST-)

@Google-Sync said in How to Find and Replace a value bigger than 100(Float):

Now, if I want to replace something greater than 25.0, how do I put it? Just so I can try to understand how this language works.

That’s trickier. The expression given took advantage of the fact that if there are no leading zeros, any number with three or more digits before the decimal point must be greater than or equal to 100. This bit:
\d\d\d[.\d]*
matches three digits, followed by zero or more digits or decimal points.

To match 25 or greater, we’d need to break that down into numbers with three or more digits, numbers with two digits where the first one is 3-9 and numbers with two digits where the first one is 2 and the second one is 5-9. That could look like this:

(\d\d\d+|[3-9]\d|2[5-9])[.\d]*

making the whole thing look like this:

(?<="Value")\s*:\s*(\d\d\d+|[3-9]\d|2[5-9])[.\d]*(?=\s*,\s*"Name"\s*:\s*"Intensity")

Now, if you really mean greater than 25 (not greater than or equal to), you’d need to separate out the 25 case as well and make sure it is followed by a decimal point and a string of digits at least one of which is not 0.

For references to how regular expressions work, see the Notepad++ User Manual section on regular expressions.

@Robert-Or-Janet-Diebel said in Adding more steps to an existing Macro:

Are comments allowed in shortcuts.xml?

You can do this:

<Action type="1" message="2172" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="I am a comment!!!!!!!!" />

@guy038 ,
Sure am glad I didn’t suggest a dBASE Plus solution for this problem and end up in that list. <g,d,r>

@Mark-Olson said:

I decided to use NPPM_GETCURRENTDOCINDEX , as @Coises suggested. It’s a little roundabout, but it feels much less hacky than the approach using FindWindowEx

I agree. I don’t know why PS didn’t use that approach as well. I’d make a suggest that PS be changed, but it’s probably a case of “ain’t broke, so don’t fix it”.

@KoliadaES-Release said in Your forum UI is non-standard and almost prevented me getting help.:

Nobody reads anything these days, esp. when they first ‘jump in`

But few proceed to just totally bitching about it; perhaps you’re a rare individual.
Going on a rant is fine, but it is best if it is an “educated rant”.

I’m sure that Peter’s recent effort (above), which is just more for you to read, is certain to be ignored.

@Graham-Norris said :

Hopefully someone else does.

Yes. But yours is such an oddball problem, I have doubts.

Are you using any unusual plugin?
Can you post your Debug Info here?
See Notepad++'s ? menu for how to obtain that.

potentially semi-transparent

Yea, this has long been a feature of N++'s Find window, but it’s not a great solution IMO for how huge the Find window is.

Sorry

No problem, no need to say Sorry :-)

@mpheath Your are a legend! Thanks. It works. :-)
Unfortunately, my reputation is too low. That’s why I’m not allowed to give your post a positive vote.

I DO NOT want the tab bar set to multi-line

Your choice. :-)

@Jaroslav-Petráš said:

pinned tabs e.g. in browsers do not scroll away and this is what I would like to have and this is what would make the pinned tabs meaningful

I guess what you have to do is, first, decide exactly what you want (I think you have decided this, but you have to think of how you’d completely describe it for others, in terms of how things currently work, and how you want to see things work), and second, put that in a feature request for Notepad++; see the FAQ for tips on doing that.

@KoliadaES-Release said in Per-Desktop Instance:

Mostly because the last 5 or so updates seem to be massaging existing material. But it is quite possible I’m missing something important.

What you’re missing (IMO) is that Notepad++ has very few automated tests, so new features have an increased risk of causing regressions in weird unpredictable ways. This is very suboptimal, but nobody has the time or motivation to add more automated tests, especially since UI tests would probably be very difficult to implement.

Going by the translation Terry R posted, this is the same behavior discussed recently here:

https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/26403/

and, as noted in that thread, there is a GitHub issue here:

https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/15878

addressing it.

Honestly, I think this is very unlikely to change, and I think it would be very difficult to “fix” in a consistent way. But, see the GitHub discussion and add to it, if you have observations or suggestions.

If you wanted to ensure that all open and close tags are at the beginning of a line, you could instead replace all (?-s)(^)?\h*(?=</?\w+) with (?1:\r\n).

See documentation on substitution conditionals to help understand that replacement, but basically this find/replace is saying “remove all whitespace before the close tag, and then if it’s not at the start of the line, add a newline before it”.

In this case,

<foo> <bar> <baz> none of this leading whitespace will disappear <quz>note that all the whitespace before the "quz" close tag will NOT go away (because it's not line-leading) </quz> <zugen> <jugy> deepest indent<deep>blah blah</deep> </jugy> </zugen> </baz> </bar> more text blah blah <quz>more whitespace that won't go away </quz> </foo>

would be converted to

<foo> <bar> <baz> none of this leading whitespace will disappear <quz>note that all the whitespace before the "quz" close tag will NOT go away (because it's not line-leading) </quz> <zugen> <jugy> deepest indent <deep>blah blah </deep> </jugy> </zugen> </baz> </bar> more text blah blah <quz>more whitespace that won't go away </quz> </foo>

@juyoung9653 said in How can I specify the priority of styles in stylers.xml?:

in substyle1, it gets overwritten by DEF NAME.

Presume that by “substyle1” you mean “USER KEYWORDS 1” ?
Otherwise, be clearer, because I see no “substyle1” anywhere.

It seems to be working for me, in N++ 8.7.5:

4e5768e9-b4e3-4ad1-9379-419948d99340-image.png

I think I’d notice if it were using the “DEF NAME”, as that is a radically different color:

@Joseph-Millenbach said:

All my tabs in the app, where the filenames are shown, are much wider now.

Hmm, I somehow can’t believe that someone would complain about wide tabs, and yet fail to notice the “pin” icon on the tabs.

so I was assuming it was a purposeful change

It was.

And I’ll mention I almost gave up before working around this “new user” UI. This is not a “complaint” proper that I would instead put in the complaint area (round bin).

This UI was not intuitive to a person with a CS BS and decades of experience. And you allow zero other ways to get help.

All I kept seeing was “you need to type at least 7 characters” but the title had plenty of characters. I didn’t realize the area on the left had a cursor (was under the pretty dialog message on Firefox). I thought it was a queue management interface. That after I posted something it’d appear there until it was approved, and go through various states (waiting, approved, etc).

These seem to be complaints against the forum software, not Notepad++.
The forum software is just something used by the Notepad++ authors, not developed by them, so if you don’t like it, go complain somewhere else about it (the software used is NodeBB).
More forum complaints by this user HERE.

@PeterJones I just found it…
I don’t skim too fast…
Cheers anyway mate.

I said in Some plugins' icons disappear when going from light to dark mode:

BMP icons are statically sized; the ICOs are “fluent”, i.e., can be scaled up […]

This is mostly correct, but I should have mentioned that toolbar BMPs actually can simulate a kind of “DPI awareness”, provided your plugin interface can access the GDI device capabilities API. See, for example, how ComparePlus goes about sizing its icons. There’s also a .NET example in my experimental template project.

If that’s too much trouble, just re-dimension your bitmaps to make sure they can scale up without blurring, then load them at 24x24 pixels, since that’s what the graphics device will normally choose for conventional screens using 96 DPI.

@Phat-Huynh-0

In the future, please read this FAQ and use literal blocks of text wrapped in ``` to show your text rather than pasting images.

It is not clear what you want to remove at the end of the line, but if you want to remove everything before CUSTOMER REFERENCE NUMBER: on lines with that text, you can use Search->Replace... to open the find/replace form, check Wrap Around, set Search Mode to Regular expressions, set Find what: to (?-si).*(?=CUSTOMER REFERENCE NUMBER:), leave Replace With: empty, and hit the Replace All button.

Here is the standard documentation for regex in Notepad++.
