Hey all, I know this topic is quite old, anyway decided to share solution I’ve discovered (I’m not so technical, so Python script isn’t the option for me). So, long story short, I’ve extracted a long JSON response and needed to copy 95 URLs from it only and ignore everything else. Like in @Suncatcher’s case, everything was stored in a single line. So, I did the following: Search for https://site.com/project/(.*?) regexp and replace all matches with \r\nhttps://site.com/project/$1\r\n so URLs were moved to separate lines; Afterward, switch to “Mark” tool, check “Bookmark line” option and mark all https://site.com/project/(.*?) Finally, click “Search” menu => Bookmark => Remove unmarked lines That’s it, list of necessary items only (URLs in my case) was created 🎉 My case is easier comparing to topic’s author, anyway hope this will be helpful for someone in the future, cheers! P.S. @guy038 thanks for mentioning Bookmark feature, I’ve never used it before and it’s super helpful

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks! This is exactly what I needed!

@dinkumoil said in How to increase or decrease the percentage of XML Attribute Values by regex?: @Tư-Mã-Tần-Quảng This can be done with an XSL transformation. Please follow these steps: Download msxsl.exe, a command line XSLT processor released by Microsoft, from >>> here <<<, or just google for msxsl.exe. Create a folder where to put: your input XML file. the XSL transformation file (see code below). the batch script for automating the whole process (see code below). *.ini files for every user whose data you want to change in the XML file. Code of the XSL file (save it as e.g. Transform.xsl): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="no" encoding="utf-8" /> <xsl:param name="userName"/> <xsl:param name="agilityFactor"/> <xsl:param name="constitutionFactor"/> <xsl:param name="intelligenceFactor"/> <xsl:param name="strengthFactor"/> <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="level"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="name(..)=$userName"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/> <xsl:attribute name="agility"> <xsl:value-of select="@agility * $agilityFactor"/> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="constitution"> <xsl:value-of select="@constitution * $constitutionFactor"/> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="intelligence"> <xsl:value-of select="@intelligence * $intelligenceFactor"/> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="strength"> <xsl:value-of select="@strength * $strengthFactor"/> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> </xsl:transform> Code of the batch script (save it as e.g. Transform.cmd). Please note: You have to customize lines 3 to 6 to your needs. @echo off & setlocal set "MSXSL=<Path-To-msxsl.exe>" set "BaseDir=<Path-To-Folder-With-Input-Files>" set "XMLFile=%BaseDir%\<Name-Of-Your-XML-File>" set "XSLFile=%BaseDir%\<Name-Of-Your-XSL-File>" copy "%XMLFile%" "%XMLFile%.bak" for %%z in ("%BaseDir%\*.ini") do ( for /f "usebackq tokens=1* delims==" %%a in ("%%~z") do ( if /i "%%~a" equ "userName" set "UserName=%%~a='%%~b'" if /i "%%~a" equ "agilityFactor" set "NewAgility=%%~a=%%~b" if /i "%%~a" equ "constitutionFactor" set "NewConstitution=%%~a=%%~b" if /i "%%~a" equ "intelligenceFactor" set "NewIntelligence=%%~a=%%~b" if /i "%%~a" equ "strengthFactor" set "NewStrength=%%~a=%%~b" ) call :ProcessUser ) exit /b 0 :ProcessUser set "Params=%NewAgility% %NewConstitution% %NewIntelligence% %NewStrength%" "%MSXSL%" "%XMLFile%" "%XSLFile%" -o "%XMLFile%" %UserName% %Params% exit /b 0 Now you can create *.ini files for every user whose data you want to change and store them in the folder you created before. Examples for the *.ini files based on your posting above: warrior.ini userName=warrior agilityFactor=1.2 constitutionFactor=1.1 intelligenceFactor=1.2 strengthFactor=1.1 mage.ini userName=mage agilityFactor=0.8 constitutionFactor=0.9 intelligenceFactor=0.8 strengthFactor=0.9 Finally you can double-click the batch script file to do your changes. The script will create a backup of your original XML file with .bak appended to its file name in the same folder. Thank alot!

Hi, @pinuzzu99 and All, Ah, OK, I see ! Now, in your combined.txt file, if we consider the general case, below : ..... ..... A aaaa@aa.aaa:aaaaaaa ..... ..... B aaaa@aa.aaa:kkkkkkk ..... ..... C aaaa@aa.aaa:zzzzzzz ..... ..... D xxxx@xx.xxx:aaaaaaa ..... ..... E xxxx@xx.xxx:kkkkkkk ..... ..... F xxxx@xx.xxx:zzzzzzz ..... ..... G zzzz@zz.zzz:aaaaaaa ..... ..... H zzzz@zz.zzz:kkkkkkk ..... ..... I zzzz@zz.zzz:zzzzzzz ..... ..... Firstly, which line, from A to I, do you want to keep ? Secondly, do you want to delete any text, of the remaining lines, after the second colon : included ? Cheers, guy038

@Ekopalypse What is this script for, please ? I have come here, because I was looking up existing Notepad++ issues, have found this https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/7622 and followed a link in a comment pointing to here. My problem is that I am trying to configure a UDL in Notebook++ for Jenkins Pipeline syntax, but the UDL lexer in Notepad++ does not find and colour string “stage” if there is “stage(”. Can I use your script to replace the Notepad++’ lexer ? BR Rainer

I fixed the issues, The dll needs to go as follows; Notepad++ install directory\plugins\ComparePlugin And now it works!

@Shane-Goodman said in Remember file type: The asterisks in my original post seems to have changed some words to italic. This forum is a bit buggy. No, putting something inside a pair of asterisks means to italicize everything between. You seem to understand that in your second posting, where you italicized the word option. :-) …have the option to remember my setting. Productivity is important for me. That makes sense…but Notepad++ can’t do it in its current form. The proper method for asking for a feature is described here if you choose to pursue it.

thank you very much. I’ll probably take the lazy way out. But this is a relief that the new save procedure is a feature that changed that I did not pick up on.

@Andrei-Iliushin Notepad++ doesn’t try to be a great searcher. Yes it provides some functionality, but if you really want advanced functionality, you should turn to other tools. Not the answer you wanted, I’m sure.

Got it ! thanks, WORKS !

And even with accurate info, you are going to have to tell us more about your situation, because, as I said, there is no performance difference between installed and unzipped versions. Questions to think about: is Notepad++.exe on same drive as word.exe? Do you have a file in your MRU list in Notepad++ that is on a network drive, or a separate HDD/SSD? Does your admin have a process watcher that is scanning or throttling unapproved apps? Etc

@Sylvester-Bullitt Sounds like Notepad++ is not the tool for the job.

@Javier-Sánchez See https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md with the fact that the developers, apparently don’t take a glance here I’m sure some do and some don’t. I want to contribute with the syntax ruling and look of a very well known programming language (which I’d mention later on) in a very well known hardware (which I’d mention later). Why mention later? Well, when I get the least hint, I’ll do that. “which I’d mention later”? With a statement like that, I’m sure absolutely no one cares. Good luck with the results to your "insist"ing.

@PeterJones Thanks for the clarification!

Expanding a builtin language for anything other than a keyword is not something you can do without access to the source code. You could use a User Defined Language, but you’d probably feel it didn’t meet all your needs. If that was enough, a UDL will allow \\ to mark a comment line, like so: However, you can add extra highlighting to a builtin lexer (like the SQL lexer) using regexes via the script EnhanceAnyBuiltinLexer.py that @Ekopalypse shares in this linked post
