Updated linter++ to v1.0.3

Two changes of significance here:

Deal properly with raw UTF8 characters in checkstyle output (mainly from jshint) Added two items to the plugin menu Help which opens the Readme on github pages About which produces a small modal dialogue with the version and a clickable link to the project github repo.

For future users, you need to make your own variation of the pre-installed Markdown laguage.

Go to Languages>User Defined Languages->Define Your Language.

Then click on a Styler button. I’m using dark mode and just prefer white text for formatting italics bold etc. So I set foreground to transparent, this means no colour override and uses the dark mode settings.

Then go to Save As and give it a name.
You’ll need to activate the new language variant which will be available in the Languages menu.

Thank you, Coises, for your helpful reply. I truly appreciate your support and guidance.

Its been 5 years I’m using notepad ++ and for me it was and it is very useful tool.

@Joc-Bedenčič ,

Based on my guess as to what you meant,
FIND = (^#EXTINF:0,).*$
REPLACE = $1
SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression

That gives the result,

#EXTINF:0, #EXTTV:Mpeg2;slv; udp://@232.2.1.1:5002 #EXTINF:0, #EXTTV:Mpeg2;slv; udp://@232.2.1.2:5002

Because that’s my guess as to what you meant by “remove everything behind #EXTINFO:0,”

If that isn’t what you wanted, you will want to give both “before” and “after” data (“only channel names” has no meaning to someone who doesn’t know the format)

I forgot to mention that I have all these “miracles” on Win 10x64. I consistently switched to localization in Ukrainian, Romanian and German. In all cases, the method described above “works” to get the problem. It is logical to assume that the language files have nothing to do with it.

Hello, @peterjones,

First, read this post to @coises, where I discuss the Unicode concept of identifiers, particularly in Perl !

Thus, as explained at the end of that post, I created a second version of my perl.xml file parser which should work correctly without significant delay !

In short :

I do NOT use any atomic structure !

In mainExpr of the class range, I do NOT use a named group but, simply, use the part ^ (?: package | class ) \b, twice !

I changed your prototype / signature syntax (?:\([^()]*+\)\s*+)?+ to (?: \( [\x20-\x7E\w]* \) \s* )?

I changed your attributes syntax (?:\:[^{]+)?+ to (?: : [\x20-\x7A\x7C-\x7E\w]+ \s* )?

In the two syntaxes above, I simply added \w within each character class

Note that, from this article https://www.effectiveperlprogramming.com/2015/04/use-v5-20-subroutine-signatures/, the following syntax seems possible :

sub animals ( $cat, $auto_id = get_id() ) { say "$auto_id: The cat is $cat"; }

Thus, for prototype / signature syntax, I’ve allowed parentheses within the outer parentheses. If this example seems not pertinent, use the alternate syntax :

(?: \( [\x20-\x27\x2A\x7E\w]* \) \s* )?

Finally, I changed the regex class name (?x)\s\K[^;{]+ to (?x) \s+ \K .+? (?= \x20* [;{] )

BTW, my parser presently contains 13 strings \s. May be, the \h or even the [\t\x20] syntax should be more appropriate, in some parts ?

In terms of speed, the Function List panel seems quickly displayed. I also did a test copying UniTest.txt twice, and then adding, by regex, _1, _2 and _3 at end of the different names, the Function List panel still appeared without delay !

Hello, @coises, @thomas-knoefel, @peterjones and All,

@coises, many thanks for your additional info. But, please, don’t be too upset by these regex oddities ! Of course, some class definitions seems different but, in all cases, Columns++ gives more accurate results than native N++ search, anyway !

In fact, I did all these researches on the Unicode world as I wanted to clarify the status about identifiers, particularly with Perl, in order to find out a simplified formulation for the Function List Perl parser created by @peterjones and improved with your help, by using atomic structures !

My first attempt was clearly insufficient because I only took ASCII characters into account. Peter adviced me to refer to the article, below :

https://perldoc.perl.org/perldata#Identifier-parsing

which explains that, when using UTF-8, the Perl identifier syntax should be :

/ (?[ ( \p{Word} & \p{XID_Start} ) + [_] ]) (?[ ( \p{Word} & \p{XID_Continue} ) ]) * /x or in a SINGLE line (?[ ( \p{Word} & \p{XID_Start} ) + [_] ])(?[ ( \p{Word} & \p{XID_Continue} ) ]) *

Although the properties \p{XID_Start} and \p{XID_Continue} are NOT part of the General Category list and are not functional with the Boost regex engine, this Perl syntax could be expressed, in theory, with our Boost regex engine as :

(?:(?=\p{XID_Start})\w|_)(?=\p{XID_Continue})\w*

Now, with the v17.0 release of BabelMap software, I was able to get the complete and exact list of these properties : \p{WORD}, \p{ID_Start}, \p{ID_Continue}, \p{XID_Start}, \p{XID_Continue},

Then, from these lists, I could deduce the Unicode characters count of the regexes (?:(?=\p{XID_Start})\w|_) and (?=\p{XID_Continue})\w. Refer below :

However, the last two results (?:(?=\p{XID_Start})\w|_) and (?=\p{XID_Continue})\w, above, are true ONLY IF the regex engine would respect all Unicode properties. Unfortunately, from a Boost point of view, which :

Only considers that word characters are all in the BMP

Generally considers that word characters are those defined prior to the Unicode 5.3 release !

I verified that, presently, only 47,681 characters can begin an PERL identifier and only 48,011 characters can continue a PERL identifier !

So, @Peterjones, in all cases, the regex rules, used in Function List for Perl, are a rough approximation of what they should be !

Now, Peter, the goal is to get a Perl parser using the approximative BOOST \w definition, without the help of atomic structures.

@PeterJones said in Possible error or not?:

the old 4096 Mb limit was actually causing a crash, so it had to be lowered to a limit that was 2046 Mb.

It’s true, and the 2046 is the current right ‘Define Large File Size’ threshold max value for the N++ Scintilla syntax highlighting.

Note:
Now we could easily shift that back (but I don’t think it’s a good idea, as the enabled syntax highlighting and the assoc. stuff substantially slow down handling and double the memory consumption needed for such large files…) to the previous larger 4096 threshold, since in the meantime I finally persuaded Don and now the SC_DOCUMENTOPTION_TEXT_LARGE Scintilla docs flag is used as default everywhere (this effectively removes the previous crash possibility for a small increase in the consumed memory price). Some details in:

@Linen-Gray
Nothing in that batch file refers to Notepad++. I think you have associated the update of Notepad++ with the appearance of the message, however you do not show anything to suggest Notepad++ is the cause of this message.

A quick Google search even suggests that Adblock360 might be malware. Use a good A/V system to thoroughly inspect your computer. I could even suggest Malwarebytes as it has a very good reputation in this area.

@MHindujaDheerajSudan said in Meenu Hinduja Dheeraj Sudan - Best Plugins for Improving Productivity in Notepad++:

code formatting,

Depends on what language your code is in. For example, for formatting XML, I recommend XMLTools; for formatting JSON, I recomment JsonTools.

For most programming languges, there are standard executable-based formatters that are considered “best practice” for that language. Instead of having a dedicated plugin for each language you write in, my recommendation is to use a plugin to route the files through that external formatter.

The “Pork to Sausage” (P2S) plugin is actually good for that: you can define “transformations”, where it passes the content of the file thru an executable, and replaces the contents with the output of that executable (unfortunately, you have to do a Ctrl+A to select the whole text first, before running hte P2S. this post my @Michael-Vincent, and the follow-on a couple posts down, give an example script for the NppExec plugin that routes various filetypes to their appropriate formatter/pretty-printer executables.

Also, our compile/convert FAQ shows examples of how to do that sort of thing with both P2S or using NppExec to drive it – both are common solutions among the power-users here.

comparison tools

ComparePlus plugin. Hands down. No reason to consider anything else. It’s awesome.

session management.

The only session management plugin I can think of is Session Manager. I don’t use it, but I seem to remember people like it.

Which plugins do you personally rely on, and are there any compatibility concerns with recent versions?

Rely On: NppExec and ComparePlus are in my standard workflow for code development. And I use PythonScript for scripting tasks inside Notepad++ (like macros, but on steroids, because it has the full power of Python behind it), but that doesn’t fall within the types of tasks you were look for plugins for.

Compatibility: Pork2Sausage, NppExec, and ComparePlus are all actively maintained, and definitely don’t have any compatibility issues. I don’t know how Session Manager is doing for maintenance.

@PeterJones

npptranslate64 didn’t work for me.
