Hi, @real_1bx, and All, This time, due to the simultaneous search of an entire line, with its line-break, when a digit follows the colon char, we need, again, two groups, leading up to that regex S/R : SEARCH (?-is)^.+:\d.+\R|((:[A-Z])|:[a-z]) REPLACE ?1(?2\L:\U)\1 For instance, the input text, below : john:abC232 john:13kkmsd smith:SnLf1999 would be modified as : john:AbC232 smith:snLf1999 Best regards, guy038

thanks @Ekopalypse At final use my laptop with Visual Studio 2015, show me other problem. error TRK0005: no se encontró: “CL.exe”. (don’t find: “CL.exe”) Repair the VS 2015 select C++ and work. Install VS2015 in my computer and all ok.

Hi, @сергій-бородін and All, Thinking back on your problem, here is a second method, requiring fewer steps, but which will classify each non-duplicated tag, according to a different layout ! So, assuming the same initial text, below : filename1.eps,tag1;tag2;tag3 filename2.eps,tag4;tag1;tag5 filename3.eps,tag6;tag2;tag9 filename3.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag8 filename4.eps,tag1;tag9;tag5 filename5.eps,tag4;tag6;tag10;tag12 filename5.eps,tag8;tag2;tag1;tag6;tag11 filename6.eps,tag3;tag2;tag3;tag10;tag14 filename7.eps,tag5;tag7;tag15 filename8.eps,tag4;tag5;tag15;tag16 filename8.eps,tag3;tag14;tag9;tag7 filename8.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag8 filename9.eps,tag2;tag10;tag17 filename10.eps,tag5;tag1;tag13 filename10.eps,tag7;tag6;tag9;tag10 filename11.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag8;tag18 filename11.eps,tag10;tag12;tag13;tag20 filename12.eps,tag4;tag8;tag3;tag19 filename13.eps,tag6;tag15;tag9;tag11 filename14.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag17;tag12;tag4 filename15.eps,tag0;tag9,tag20 First this simple regex S/R, changes all this list in a one-line list : Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H ) SEARCH \R REPLACE # ( Any symbol, not used yet, can be chosen ) Select the Regular expression search mode Click on the Replace All button Which gives the single line, below : filename1.eps,tag1;tag2;tag3#filename2.eps,tag4;tag1;tag5#filename3.eps,tag6;tag2;tag9#filename3.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag8#filename4.eps,tag1;tag9;tag5#filename5.eps,tag4;tag6;tag10;tag12#filename5.eps,tag8;tag2;tag1;tag6;tag11#filename6.eps,tag3;tag2;tag3;tag10;tag14#filename7.eps,tag5;tag7;tag15#filename8.eps,tag4;tag5;tag15;tag16#filename8.eps,tag3;tag14;tag9;tag7#filename8.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag8#filename9.eps,tag2;tag10;tag17#filename10.eps,tag5;tag1;tag13#filename10.eps,tag7;tag6;tag9;tag10#filename11.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag8;tag18#filename11.eps,tag10;tag12;tag13;tag20#filename12.eps,tag4;tag8;tag3;tag19#filename13.eps,tag6;tag15;tag9;tag11#filename14.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag17;tag12;tag4#filename15.eps,tag0;tag9,tag20 Now, here is the regex S/R, which deletes any duplicated tag ( The same regex, described in my previous post ) : SEARCH (?-is)[,;](\w+)(?=[,;#].*?[,;]\1([,;#]|\R|\z)) REPLACE Leave the zone EMPTY Your text should be shortened as below : filename1.eps#filename2.eps#filename3.eps#filename3.eps#filename4.eps#filename5.eps#filename5.eps#filename6.eps#filename7.eps#filename8.eps;tag16#filename8.eps;tag14#filename8.eps#filename9.eps#filename10.eps,tag5;tag1#filename10.eps#filename11.eps;tag18#filename11.eps,tag10;tag13#filename12.eps;tag8;tag19#filename13.eps,tag6;tag15;tag11#filename14.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag17;tag12;tag4#filename15.eps,tag0;tag9,tag20 Finally, this regex S/R, below : Replaces any semi-colon, right after the string eps with a comma Replaces any # symbol with a line-break ( \r\n or \n ) SEARCH eps;|(#) REPLACE ?1\r\n:eps,    OR    ?1\n:eps, if you works with an Unix file And we obtain the final output : filename1.eps filename2.eps filename3.eps filename3.eps filename4.eps filename5.eps filename5.eps filename6.eps filename7.eps filename8.eps,tag16 filename8.eps,tag14 filename8.eps filename9.eps filename10.eps,tag5;tag1 filename10.eps filename11.eps,tag18 filename11.eps,tag10;tag13 filename12.eps,tag8;tag19 filename13.eps,tag6;tag15;tag11 filename14.eps,tag7;tag2;tag3;tag17;tag12;tag4 filename15.eps,tag0;tag9,tag20 As you can see, the 21 non-duplicated tags ( From tag0 to tag20 ) are arranged differently, with many lines without tag, at beginning of the list ! Best Regards, guy038

Hello, @app-guide and All, Easy with regexes ! Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H) Type in [\d.]+$ in the Find what: zone Type in \r\n$0 in the Replace with: zone    OR    \n$0 if you works on an Unix file Tick the Wrap around option Select the Regular expression search mode Click on the Replace All button Voila :-)) Notes : The [\d.] regex syntax searches for a single character which can be, either, a digit (\d) or a dot ( . ) Then, the [\d.]+ looks for a non-null range of characters, which can be, either, a digit or a dot And the [\d.]+$ tries to match the greatest non-null range of digits / dots till the end ( $ ) of current line In replacement, we first write the line-break characters ( \r\n or \n ), followed with the overall search match ( $0 ) Best regards, guy038

Hello @luuk-v, @william-james and All, All Notepad++ versions, since the first v1.0 to the last v7.8.6 can be obtained from : http://download.notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/ In your case, @luuk-v : First, click on the 6.x/ link Then, click on the 6.9/ link Choose the classic installation, with the ....installer.exe or a portable installation with the other links You may verify your download with the npp.6.9.digest.sha1 control sums file Best Regards, guy038

Maybe FAQ Desk: Function List Basics will give you some ideas.

@Oli-Bear Can you show us your debug-info? Is available from the last menu item, the ? menu.

@Peter-Goddard the searchFlags tell scintilla only how your search_string needs to be interpreted but don’t, magically, find the positions. I find the description quite understandable where is your problem here?

@Peter-Goddard said in Search in target is sometimes failing: So how would I prevent it from overflowing? Not sure I understand this question because I guess you know the obvious answer, which would be “use a datatype which is big enough to hold the values”, yourself.

@Jeffrey-Snively said in File Type issue: Now I have a different problem. With some file types (including .txt), when I go Right-click>Open With>Choose Default Program, it gives me the option to select NPP. I select it and check the “Always use this program” box. Then when I look in Windows explorer, it shows the file type for all my .txt documents as “Notepad++ Document” instead of “.txt file” or something. Old thread but I had same issue and this was the top google result so maybe this will help someone in future. Open regedit, go to “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Notepad++_file”, instead of “Notepad++ Document” leave the description empty and reboot your PC. Thanks for someone over at SU providing this.

@jbb23 Try the Explorer Plugin from Plugin admin. It has a Favorites dockable. Cheers.

On re-reading, I saw a fine point I may have missed: if you only want to delete parenthesized items when it starts with (tstamp, then slight change: FIND = \(tstamp.*?\) The rest remains the same. With this, (blah keep this) (tstamp blah blah) (blah keep this) will become (blah keep this) (blah keep this) If you have more requirements (the paren must start at the beginning of the line and/or end at the end of the line, or other such modifications), those refined requirements can be met. However, you will need to be more explicit. ---- Do you want regex search/replace help?

Hello @railien and All, Why not this following road map ? Open a new file ( Ctrl + N ) Paste the text, below : *FIRST block This is a text of a group of lines *SECOND block bla bla ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... *THIRD block *LAST block Here is the final group Select the Language > User-Defined for this new file Then, open the User Defined Language > Define your language... dialog Select the Folder & Default tab In Folding in code1 style:, just type in a * symbol in the Middle box Voila ;-)) Best Regards, guy038

I take advantage of this thread to advertise about two other python scripts that I wrote: +++ Bracket Indicator : highlight the bracket () [] {} where is the selection/caret based on BracketHighlighter.py idea, with easier customization for highlight style, a different algo for highlighting (using the ‘re’ regexp object, possibly more efficient), following the brackets matching rules of Scintilla RestartNPP : to restart Notepad++ remembering the current session (opened file), can possibly made into a button, and be run with a keyboard shortcut via ‘Shortcut Mapper’ can be handy when developping a script/plugin +++ Perso_ScintWndProc_Hook was renamed to FP_MouseSelectGest_Hook, and updated Perso_CrLfDisplay_Callback was renamed to FP_CrLfDisplay_Callback, and updated FP_MouseSelectGest_Hook, FP_BracketIndicator_Callback and FP_CrLfDisplay_Callback can be run from startup.py on each NPP start (with pythonscript option : initialisation=ATSTARTUP) All four scripts have options at the top of the main script file that can be changed by the user Some of these scripts use libraries which are provided in the same Github folder as the main script Here is the root of the Github repositories : https://github.com/frying-pan?tab=repositories and the four repositories for the four scripts : https://github.com/frying-pan/NotepadPP-PythonScript-Mouse_Select_Gesture https://github.com/frying-pan/NotepadPP-PythonScript-Bracket_Indicator https://github.com/frying-pan/NotepadPP-PythonScript-Restart_NotepadPP https://github.com/frying-pan/NotepadPP-PythonScript-CrLf_Display

@jeronymite2 said in XAML Regions Not Supported: <!–#region MyRegion–> <!-- Lots of XAML! --> <!–#endregion–> Npp uses scintilla as a lexer for languages and avoids modifying individual languages in order to make upgrading to a newer scintilla version as easy as possible. This means that scintilla has to do it to be added to npp one day

So why not using something like this?

Yes, everything worked out, thank you! The first time I didn’t understand anything… the second time I didn’t notice my mistake… And the third time you read that I understood everything! :)

Don’t have permission to change or delete the file. I have reached out to someone who does to make the change. It may take a day or two. Thanks for the help. :-)
