@guy038 said in Regex: Select and delete the content of tags from xml file with skiping other tags: (?xs-i) @guy038 What exactly does (?xs-i) in the example of regex? It is not the same as (?s) ?

@Alan-Kilborn said in Problem with find / replace with wildcards. Will put in the same Regular expression twice: This stuff is about as easy/difficult to find as the site we’re now on, so… I found the online-Documentation but not the special goal with twice repleacing of the same regular expression.

Actually, I usually just keep the ¶ button on, but this time I turned it off because all the [CR][LF]s were becoming distracting. (And yes, I know it’s possible to show whitespace without the [CR][LF]s, but I didn’t feel like digging into the menus for what I thought was going to be a quick edit.)

@H-R-30 Sorry I forgot to follow up on this topic, but the conclusion is incorrect. I’ve used the solution I proposed extensively, it is tested and working and certainly not half. .eslintrc is the ESlint configuration file, which a Google Search would have given you as a first result. Here is an example. Naturally, if you don’t define any options, eslint won’t know what to look for. If eslint is not recognized, it means you haven’t told Windows to look in node_modules\.bin to find executables. So change the command to cmd /k node_modules\.bin\eslint --fix-dry-run $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH). Or edit the Windows PATH variable and add node_modules\.bin\eslint to it if it is not there. For globally installed npm executables add %AppData%\npm\node_modules\.bin too. Restart Notepad++ to be sure the changes are in effect.

@Jeremy-Sorkin said in Search yields irrelevant results. I'm stuck :): But after all that, I realized that Notepad++ was highlighting the beginning of the phrase containing the search results in purple, as well as the desired timestamp within in orange. Based on that, I can tell that you have Settings > Preferences > Highlight Matching Tags > ☑ Enable checked on. Un-checking that toggle will turn off the highlight of the <w:ins (and the later closing </w:ins> which you haven’t shown in the screenshot) – with that enable checked, anytime your cursor or selection is inside a given HTML/XML start or end tag, both the start and end tag sequences will be highlighted, so you know where you are.

Another alternative is to use the Windows ‘mklink’ command line utility and create a hardlink to the file, assuming an NTFS formatted disk. Mklink will complain if the target disk is not using the NTFS format. > mklink /h file.json.txt file.json There will only be one file using storage space on the disk, but two ways of accessing the contents (be careful if both are opened at the same time; Notepad++ will gladly have both views open at the same time and may warn about changes made using the the other view). I use the ‘added’ .txt extension to assist the OS in keeping both views together when using name listings, e.g. “dir”. The Explorer preview pane will show the contents as text (even if the original file isn’t text, e.g., .pdf or .jpg). The extra extension also assists me in remembering which is the real or base file and which is the alternate view I created to get around Windows obsession with extension based file format determination. The file will persist (continue to use disk space) until both names are deleted, either from the command line or in Explorer. Not all disk space applications understand ‘hardlinks’ and will incorrectly show both files using disk space.

Thank you. That’s a great start.

@Terry-R said in How not to generate a copy when you open the same file: There are other suggestions I can put forward: There is a 4th option: 4. If you use any plugins they may have caused the problem. use the ? on main menu and look at the command line arguments to run Notepad++ without any plugins and test again. Terry

@Ekopalypse said in Recovering an Unsaved File that was Closed: especially if you can remember the name of temporary file Well, if you named your tab zebra for example (surely nobody would let a long-term, critical data file sit there for a long time with a name like new 2), you’d have to look for a file to recover named like this: zebra@2021-06-21_164728 or – gasp – even: new 2@2021-06-21_164728 In other words, expect that type of naming, DON’T just go looking for something with only the base name, because I don’t think you’ll find it.

Other than my experiencing a minor hiccup with the Shortcut mapper reassigning the keycodes for my NppExec scripts (and nicely explained by @Vitaliy-Dovgan in his response to @astewart77) all the new features are working nicely for me. I would like to pass on a hard won insight into the nesting of quotes: The inner quotes will be preserved if there are outer quotes at each critical processing step. They are not magically remembered because they were nested the first time they were referenced. set local msg1 = "the '$(INPUT)' option is not available from the interactive menu," set local msg2 = "use the NppExec console version instead" set local msg ~ strfromhex $(msg1) 0A 00 $(msg2) messagebox "$(msg)" : "Warning" : : 7000 In the above example, the inner single quotes around $(INPUT) will disappear if the outer double quotes around $(msg) are not used. An additional thank you to @Vitaliy-Dovgan for the correction in my thinking. FWIW: There is a slightly newer version of the plugin posted in the dev folder at sourceforge; @Vitaliy-Dovgan fixed an issue with the ‘strfromhex’ command.

Issue happens after windows is getting updates only. If I close/open N++ OR restart Windows without getting updates then all sessions are getting opened.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Search for a text and copy the next lines of codes: (?-s)SEARCHME(?:.\R){3}\K. Thank you! It works just what I wanted.

I need to search for file names in html code. Text to search D: \ Fitos \ excel \ ([1-9] [0-9] *) (. Xlsx “target =” _ top "> Old pdf) Replace with D: \ Fitos \ excel2 \ $ 2 (.xlsx “target =” _ top "> Old Pdf) with this regex search I find Excel files like 13037.xlsx

Possible, maybe. Likely, no! Applications that handle huge files are designed for that specific goal and there are lots of tradeoffs to be made in the design. The majority of Notepad++ users are developers that deal with files well under 1MB. Many of them depend on plugins that interact with Notepad++ and Scintilla in a pretty direct (non-abstract) way. Redesigning Notepad++ and Scintilla to handle huge files quickly will almost surely break many of these plugins and hurt a much larger portion of Notepad++ users than the people who want to open huge files. Your need is real but the solution should be to find the right tool for the job rather than expecting the wrong tool to evolve. BTW, there is also a very big difference between viewing a huge file and editing a huge file. There are lots of good viewers and fewer good editors. Huge files are always auto-generated (typically logs) what is the point of editing them? When I dealt with such the concept was usually to find the area of interest and trim 1M lines into 10K lines of interest that Notepad++ handles easily.

Thank you for the correction on the ability to change back. To be clear: I define the action of the editor in changing anything that I didn’t explicitly select as ‘forcing’; as it forces a change I didn’t make. It does not lock the change; but it does go beyond ‘Enable dark mode’ and makes modifications to settings contained in a different selection dialog. Again, thank you for clarifying the interaction between mode selection and icon selection.

@PeterJones yea, it worked. I had a </p> in my next search - that’s why it di’n’t work before. Thanks a lot man!
