URL not understood after #!
-
When I hover over a URL in NP++, and click to go to the page, it messes up the URL after the #!
Here are the URLs, and what they open to, right under it:

Hello Jorge,
Yes, you’re right. the combination
#!doesn’t work, seemingly, when used inside N++ links.My first idea was to change the Sharp character by the well-known syntax %nn, where nn represents the two hexadecimal digits of the ANSI or ASCII character => # = %23 That syntax didn’t work too, nor was the syntax %23%21 to simulate the two characters %! !
Finally, the syntax, below, seems OK. When you double-click on that link, from inside N++, it does open your browser and aim to the desired site
https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21forum/lake-county-liberty-coalitionSo, you just have to replace the string
#!by the string#%21in some of your links. You don’t even need a regular expression to do so :-))Best regards,

Got it, yes, replace the exclamation point with %21
Are there any other characters like this?
Couldn’t this be automated?
