Strange new error --> Find: Can't find the text "foobar" from caret to end-of-file

Gary Hess

Hi –

I’ve used Notepad++ for many years with no problems. Suddenly, I am constantly getting a strange error when searching for strings:

Find: Can't find the text "foobar" from caret to end-of-file

Any idea what that means? I must have somehow gotten something misconfigured.

Thanks, Gary

Show us a screenshot of your Find window, plus the editor window with some text that should generate a match. Here’s an example of such a screenshot:

but we need to see YOURS.

Please take care to show or identify the current caret location as well (which I neglected to do in my example screenshot).

Hi Alan,

Here are two screenshots:

Screenshot 1: The cursor was at the top of the file and “foobar” is found.

Screenshot 2: The cursor was after “foobar” and “foobar” not is found.

Thanks,
Gary

Sorry, I figured it out. “Wrap around” wasn’t checked.
