findText

[Paul Wormer]

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
Command Line :

Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

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

Thank you, I didn’t know that.

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?

@paul-wormer I updated to version 2.0.0 via GitHub and now it works. Windows defender warned severely for viruses though, which I somewhat reluctantly ignored.
