      @Claudia-Frank In my v6.8.8 ^.*(function|subroutine)\s+\K([\w]+)(?=\() find just nothing (with “find” or “find all in current document”).
      Could you download zipped package, and unzip it into a new folder, to make sure the behaviour?

        @donho, sorry for confusion, instead of posting the result after replace all
        I should have posted the source code before modification, which is this

        function xsquare2() result(y)
        	real, intent(in) :: x
        	real :: y
        	t = x*x
        	return
        end function
        
        function xsquare3()
        	real, intent(in) :: x
        	real :: y
        	t = x*x
        	return
        end function
        
        subroutine hello1()
        	print *, "Hello World!"
        	return
        end subroutine hello
        
        subroutine hello2(x)
        	print *, "Hello World!"
        	return
        end subroutine hello
        

        without the double quotes. They were added after pressing replace all.
        And, yes, I do still see the problem with the minimalistc zip I downloaded.

        So using the current code together with the regex

        ^.*(function|subroutine)\s+\K([\w]+)(?=\()
        

        results in the reported behaviour.

        Thank you
        Claudia

          @Claudia-Frank In oder to reproduce the bug, could you describe the occurrences expected to be found and replaced?

            @donho,
            by using replace dialog

            Find what:  ^.*(function|subroutine)\s+\K([\w]+)(?=\()
            Replace with: "\2"
            

            it is expected that each functionname (xsquare2, xsquare3, hello1, hello2) get found and
            replaced with surrounding double quotes when pressing the replace button.
            Which does work if pressing replace all.

            So, before replacing

            function xsquare2() result(y)
            

            and after

            function "xsquare2"() result(y)
            

            Cheers
            Claudia

              Hi, Don and Claudia,

              I noticed that fact, a long time ago. Just see my reply to the Claudia’s question :

              Do you think this is a bug or is it because of the complex regex?

              at the address below :

              https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/11021/find-and-replace-help/5


              I’ll try to do some tests, with the improved regex engine version of François-R Boyer ( on June 2013, based on Scintilla 2.2.7 ). I hope that this version will not have this issue !?

              Cheers,

              guy038

                Hi, Don and Claudia,

                Tests done ! Well, the behaviour of the François-R Boyer version works a bit better ! I mean :

                • With the S/R ( SEARCH abc\Kdef and REPLACE 123 ), it behaves as our current N++ regex engine. So the issue still occurs :-((

                • With the identical S/R ( SEARCH (?<=abc)def and REPLACE 123 ), it does change any occurrence of def, IF preceded by the string abc , with the string 123, each time you click on the Replace button. With our current version, it doesn’t :-(

                Best Regards,

                guy038

                P.S. :

                Or course, a click on the Replace All button, performs the replacement, correctly, with both versions !

                    Hi.
                    I’ve found a critical bug.

                    If i have a text document with many lines
                    (20000 Lines or more and more than 8-9 char each Line for example)

                    and i want to clear some rows in clolumn mode
                    notepad crashes.

                    To reproduce the bug:
                    1.) Open Notepad or choose a new document
                    2.) Type 10 characters (for example: 1234567890)
                    3.) duplicate the Line more than 4000 times (example: 10000 LINES)
                    4.) press STRG-A to mark whole text
                    5.) press ALT-SHIFT and than 5 times Cursor right to mark the first 5 colums
                    6.) press DEL
                    -> Notepad crashes every time

                      Hello @Loopbuilder,

                      I did try it as you wrote, even with 100 000 lines and it didn’t crash.
                      So it must be specific to your setup.
                      Can you do the test without having pluings loaded? (-noPlugin switch)

                      Cheers
                      Claudia

                        Hello Claudia.

                        It’s strange.

                        Since I once called notepad with the switch -noPlugin, the error is apparently disappeared.

                        I moved all the plugins folder in disabeld and the error has not occurred.
                        Then I pushed back plugin for plugin from the Disabled to the program directory without any error.
                        Even after the last plugin no longer a fault occurred.

                        Excuse me for asking.
                        Apparently there is a problem with the installation or the rights in the 64-bit operating system.

                        Thank you much for the help.

                          For quite a while I notice this problem when working with file Xml Notepad spoils code. It is rare, and treated if re-open the file. But sometimes lost much of the work and it is very pesters.
                          This problem has been in all versions ranging from about 5.x.x to 6.8.9. screenshot

                            Hello @Ганна-Чорна,

                            do you use xml tools plugin? And do you use auto syntax check or auto validation?
                            From my experience, this doesn’t work very well if you have big xml files.

                            Cheers

                              I also sometimes happens similar problem. When copying, inserting, replacing the large amount of text (more than 40000 lines). So I perform these operations in other programs). Xml plug do not use. Here, perhaps, is certainly a problem in file size.

                                @guy038 , has the status on this changed since the date of your posting here…has the “Find All in Current Document” behavior become recordable in a macro, such that it works when the macro is run?

                                  Hi Scoot and All,

                                  Scott, sorry for this late reply !

                                  So, I’ve just did a test, again, with the last N++ version ( v6.9.2 ) with the simple following macro, which searches for the exact case of the article the, in all the opened files, of your current N++ session :

                                      <Macro name="Test" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">
                                          <Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
                                          <Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="the" />
                                          <Action type="3" message="1625" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
                                          <Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="2" sParam="" />
                                          <Action type="3" message="1701" wParam="0" lParam="1636" sParam="" />
                                      </Macro>
                                  

                                  This macro is automatically inserted in the <Macros> node :

                                  • The first line, defines the name of the macro and its possible shortcut

                                  • The second line initializes the search process

                                  • The third line defines the string to search : the word the

                                  • The 4th line selects the search mode : the digit 0, in lParam, meaning normal search

                                  • The 5th line defines the search options : the digit 2 means Match case

                                  • The final 6th line defines the search type : the number 1636 stands for a search in all opened documents

                                  Refer to the link below, for further information :

                                  http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Editing_Configuration_Files#Search_.2F_Replace_encoding

                                  Remark : The action of the flag value 512, when message = “1702”, is wrong ! The correct action is Search goes downwards :-))


                                  So, if you run this form of the macro Test, you get the right result : the Find result panel, with all the occurrences found in all the files opened

                                  Unfortunately, if you create a macro, in order to search in current document only, or if you change the number 1636 with the number 1641( flag value for search in current document ), in the shortcuts.xml file, with an OTHER editor than N++, when any instance of N++ is closed, the Find result panel does NOT opened, as it should, when running the macro :-(((

                                  This bug is still there ! As a work-around, if numerous files are opened, in your session, you may :

                                  • Close most of them, not concerned with the search

                                  • Perform the above macro, which searches on all opened files

                                  • Click, on the menu option File - Opened All Recent Files

                                  Best Regards

                                  guy038

                                  P.S. :

                                  Oh, I forget to tell you that my technical configuration is, simply, a Windows XP SP3 system, on a NEC Versa M350 laptop :-((
