On -n, Np++ does not follow to the line number

Iton Horn

Hello, dear Notepad++ Community!

The command line execution of the following command
C:\Dir\notepad++.exe -n856 C:\Dir\File.txt
opens the File.txt file on the first line, does not follow to the line 856.
Please check.

@iton-horn ,

Interesting. It worked perfectly fine in v8.2.1 (debug info below), but when I downloaded a portable v8.3 and ran from that one, I could confirm that it did not scroll. So this seems like a bug introduced in v8.3.

Could you follow the instructions in the bug report FAQ to create an issue (and include the information that it did work in v8.2.1 but doesn’t in v8.3) – if you do create that issue, please paste a link to that issue in reply to this topic. Thanks.

It supposedly is fixed already but I still can’t get it to work for me.

Cheers.

Thanks for finding that.

I tried, but my IT apparently blocks the site that has the debug builds, so I will have to wait until tonight before I can download a debug build. :-(

Hold the phone - 1D10T error. I was running as:

notepad++.exe -n 44 mytestfile.txt

There can be NO space between the -n and the linenumber:

notepad++.exe -n44 mytestfile.txt

works with the 64-bit Release version in the AppVeyor artifacts of the commit I reference above.

Cheers.

You don’t need to open an issue. As I stated above, this is already fixed in the main branch and will be available in the next release.

Cheers.

Ok.
