Is there an option to unlock a forum thread?

[mkupper]

About a year ago I posted a question. Someone answered but I missed that the someone had posted to that thread. I was catching up on old tickler file items and found the thread.

I wanted to add a reply that the suggestion worked.

I did not see a direct way from the thread to request a re-opening.

The old thread is at https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/15942/opening-unix-style-file-paths

Here’s another old thread though in that case @guy038 will need to do the edit.

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/15765/faq-desk-where-to-find-regex-documentation needs to be updated

The first link suggested no longer works and seems unlikely to ever work: http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Regular_Expressions

@guy038, you might want to link it to the http://notepad-plus-plus.github.io/npp-usermanual/content/searching/ page, which I am working on now. I am merging the contents of the old Search_And_Replace and Regular_Expressions pages together, so that’s the best place for the link, for now (even though it is empty) – I’m hoping to have a pull request later today (my time).

pull request approved: http://notepad-plus-plus.github.io/npp-usermanual/content/searching/ now contains complete search/replace documentation, including extended and regular expression. There is room for improvement, but it’s at least more than there was.

So @guy038 can update the FAQ at his convenience. :-)

Hi, @peterjones,

Modification done in :

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/15765/faq-desk-where-to-find-regex-documentation/1

As I’m presently in holidays, I just glance, from time to time, to our forum. So, Peter, I’ll try to read our new documentation site, more carefully and e-mail you some improvements or errors which I could have found out !

This afternoon, the program is: hulls and periwinkles fishing and maybe some clams ;-)) Hmmm, I’m just imagining the dinner !

Best Regards,

guy038

Hi, @peterjones and All,

Have a good fishing, yesterday ! Between 3 and 6 pm, for 3 people, we picked up :

• 0.8 kg of clams

• 4.3 kg of hulls

• 4.7 kg of winkles

So :

Too bad ! I can’t make you smell the aroma of these seafood ;-))

Cheers,

guy038

Speaking of… the FAQ still lists the temporary github.io link. @guy038 , could you switch the FAQ over to point to https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/searching/ now that it’s got a permanent home? Thanks

Hi, @peterjones,

OK, I just updated the link !
