      @Ekopalypse Of course, my code works, until it breaks liked we talked about before

        ok, then I would say it is time to debug/print some info about
        target_start, target_end and position found.
        Make a debug build, use OutputDebugStringW and tools like DebugView
        to capture the output. Of course only, if you can’t run within Visual Studio.

          Actually, it doesn’t have to be a debug build, a release build should do it as well.

            Okay, I’m trying that now. I am using visual studios and I have added in my code a OutputDebugStringW, now where would I find the values that it outputs when I use my plugin in notepad?

              Did you start npp from within Visual Studio or did you attach (from Debug menu) npp to visual studio? If so, those should appear in
              View->Output window.

                I think I have made a very obvious mistake. I forgot to specify my search flag as you mentioned in my other post. After switching it to Regexp, it seems to be working. I feel like that was very obvious and you have taken a lot of your time to help me, so thank you again for all your help.

                If anything else happens, I’ll post again. Thanks.
