A problem, click File->Save, save as type: normal text file,
saved files do not automatically add suffix txt

welcome to the notepad++ community, @nblookup

this is by design, to have full extension control at any given time.

if you prefer the old behaviour, please go to settings > preferences > default directory and disable use new style dialog.

many thanks and best regards.

You could have tried asking in Help Wanted, we would have asked for clarification, and then probably would have eventually helped you find a way to run the c compiler from Notepad++

please remove me from community here.

If that’s what you desire, you can go to your own profile, click Edit, and click Delete Account.

There is an issue in this release with some hidden characters being added when editing and saving PowerShell scripts. So when you launch a PowerShell script that has been edited with NPP, you get lots of weird syntax errors although the code is all fine. If you edit the same block of code in PowerShell ISE or Notepad, PowerShell won’t throw any errors when launched. It’s easy to reproduce. Copy the function below (function extracted from https://github.com/microsoftgraph/powershell-intune-samples/blob/master/RBAC/RBAC_ScopeTags_DeviceAssign.ps1) and save it in NPP, you will get weird syntax errors running it in PowerShell although there are none. Do the same with either Notepad or the PowerShell ISE and no errors appear when you execute this same code in PowerShell.

###########BEGINNING OF CODE BELOW#################

Function Update-ManagedDevices()
{
<#
.SYNOPSIS
This function is used to add a device compliance policy using the Graph API REST interface
.DESCRIPTION
The function connects to the Graph API Interface and adds a device compliance policy
.EXAMPLE
Update-ManagedDevices -JSON $JSON
Adds an Android device compliance policy in Intune
.NOTES
NAME: Update-ManagedDevices

$Resource = "deviceManagement/managedDevices('$id')"

try {
	If ($ScopeTags -eq "" -or $ScopeTags -eq $null)
		{
			
		$JSON = @"
				{
				"roleScopeTagIds": []
				}

"@

		}
	Else
		{
		$object = New-Object –TypeName PSObject
		$object | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name 'roleScopeTagIds' -Value @($ScopeTags)
		$JSON = $object | ConvertTo-Json
		}

	$uri = "https://graph.microsoft.com/$graphApiVersion/$($Resource)"
	Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Headers $authToken -Method Patch -Body $JSON -ContentType "application/json"

	Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100
	}
catch {
	Write-Host
	$ex = $_.Exception
	$errorResponse = $ex.Response.GetResponseStream()
	$reader = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader($errorResponse)
	$reader.BaseStream.Position = 0
	$reader.DiscardBufferedData()
	$responseBody = $reader.ReadToEnd()
	Write-Host "Response content:`n$responseBody" -foregroundcolor "Red"
	Write-Error "Request to $Uri failed with HTTP Status $($ex.Response.StatusCode) $($ex.Response.StatusDescription)"
	write-host
	break
	}
}

###########END OF CODE ABOVE#################

Could you please look into this and resolve this issue please? I think it’s got something to do with the JSON "@ string terminator and I suspect NPP is actually adding some hidden character before this string terminator which PowerShell doesn’t like and consequently breaks the whole syntax of the script.

For instance, if you save this code with NPP, it won’t work in PowerShell. If you open this NPP saved file afterwards in Notepad, make no modification to it and save it, it will work just fine.

Thanks very much in advance for resolving this real nasty issue!

Sorry, I forgot to mention (I had to wait for 1200 seconds to add this…) that it is not an encoding issue as I checked and weither you save it in ANSI or UTF-8 it makes no difference in the behaviour.

Thanks once more for your help.

Notepad++ 7.7 broken syntax highlighting (in my case ASP)
open ASP file and background is white, the text is black for everything. I do see brace matching highlights but no other.

rollback to 7.6 fixes it.

The right-click context menu “Plugin commands | Copy Text with Syntax Highlighting” is no longer copying the formatting. In some cases it is copying the font but never the colors.

I rely on this feature to copy code snippets and paste them into OneNote or an Outlook email with their formatting.
