<![CDATA[findText]]>I have several scripts that use editor.findText. Since some time it does not find anything. Example:

from __future__ import print_function
from Npp import *
# DELIMITER
pos = editor.findText(FINDOPTION.WHOLEWORD, 0, editor.getLength(), "DELIMITER")
print(pos)  # --> none

My debug info is:

Notepad++ v8.3.1 (64-bit)
Build time : Feb 13 2022 - 15:41:12
Path : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe

Current ANSI codepage : 1252
Plugins : ColumnTools.dll DSpellCheck.dll HexEditor.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll PythonScript.dll

Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Windows defender warned severely for viruses though, which I somewhat reluctantly ignored.

I removed pythonscript (per Plugins Admin) and reinstalled it (also per Plugins Admin). I now have 1.5.4.0, but it still does not work. Do I have to update via another route?

You need to update PythonScript due to the changes made in Npp 8.3.
