Not a bad suggestion I suppose…you may want to follow the advice here.

You can have this functionality TODAY if you are willing to “script it”. The scripting plugins for Notepad++ are excellent. I tend to use Pythonscript; here’s some code for that which will implement a confirmation for Save All.

Here’s SaveAllWithAreYouSurePrompt.py :

def SAWAYSP__main(): if notepad.messageBox( 'Do you want to do a SAVE on all unsaved files?', # box body text 'Are you sure??', # box titlebar text MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.YESNO ) != MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.RESULTYES: return notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.FILE_SAVEALL) SAWAYSP__main()

You can remap the default Save All keyboard shortcut to run the script instead.

Hello, @ואב פתאל, @terry-r and All,

As @terry-r said, regular expressions are not the best way when calculus is involved in the process. However, if the particular case, of all decimal numbers, beginning with the $ sign and ending with the string .99, is your case, a possible regex could be :

SEARCH (\$.*?)((0)|(1)|(2)|(3)|(4)|(5)|(6)|(7)|(8))?(?=9*\.99)|(9)

REPLACE (?{12}0:\1(?2:1)(?{3}1)(?{4}2)(?{5}3)(?{6}4)(?{7}5)(?{8}6)(?{9}7)(?{10}8)(?{11}9))

Of course, the Regular expression search mode must be selected and, possibly, the Wrap around option

So, assuming the sample text, below :

Item $0.99 Item $1.99 Item $2.99 Item $3.99 Item $4.99 Item $5.99 Item $6.99 Item $7.99 Item $8.99 Item $9.99 Item $10.99 Item $11.99 Item $12.99 Item $13.99 Item $14.99 Item $15.99 Item $16.99 Item $17.99 Item $18.99 Item $19.99 Item $20.99 ... Item $39.99 ... Item $98.99 Item $99.99 ... Item $9999.99

it would give, after global replacement :

Item $1.00 Item $2.00 Item $3.00 Item $4.00 Item $5.00 Item $6.00 Item $7.00 Item $8.00 Item $9.00 Item $10.00 Item $11.00 Item $12.00 Item $13.00 Item $14.00 Item $15.00 Item $16.00 Item $17.00 Item $18.00 Item $19.00 Item $20.00 Item $21.00 ... Item $40.00 ... Item $99.00 Item $100.00 ... Item $10000.00

Voilà !

I assume you get a better chance having this done by following this FAQ.

I’m with @dail, I can’t make much of it either…I guess the language barrier is too wide.

The reload is automatic in v7.5.6 or newer.

Hi, @klauss-lehmann and All,

Additional information to the excellent method of @meta-chuh :

Firstly, contrary to any other character, you cannot insert NUL characters, either, with any of these 3 ways :

Alt + nnn , where n are digits, pressed on the numeric keypad ( OEM encoding )

Alt + 0nnn , where 0 and n are digits, pressed on the numeric keypad ( ANSI encoding )

Alt + the + ( on Numeric keypad ) + hhhh, where h are hexadecimal chars ( UNICODE encoding ) :

The letters, from a to f, typed on the main keyboard

The digits, from 0 to 9, typed on the numeric keypad

So, the only way is to use the Character Panel ( Edit > Character Panel ) and, then, to double-click on the first line 0 00 NULL in order to insert a single NUL character, at cursor location

Secondly, the present regex engine of N++, can handle the NUL characters in search, without any trouble, using the regexes :

\0 or \x00 or \x{00} or \x{0000} or \N{NUL} or \c@ or \c

Unfortunately, in replacement, there’s, indeed, no mean to insert a NUL character :-(( A work-around is possible, using a local installation of N++ v6.9.0 and a modified version of the Scintilla library ( SciLexer.dll ). Refer to LAST part of this FAQ post :

@Safe-Tex

you can find the 64 bit installer here:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.5.7.html

direct download:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.5.7/npp.7.5.7.Installer.x64.exe

Thank you. Thank you! Yep that did the trick. It was a simple fix that I actually found 1/2 way into my research on this subject but overlooked it because I didn’t understand why the user posted that LexerType had to be duplicated. Now I know and it works. Now I need to figure why NppExec is not saving my scripts when I upgraded to 7.4.2:)

Hmm, I reinstalled and used the “Xml Tools 2.4.9.2 x64 Unicode.zip” and am still getting the 32 bit warning. I already reinstalled, but perhaps I need to verify I did everything correctly. Will report back.

@PeterJones

Haha…I’m glad that “baking cookies” is a favorite of yours, or is at least somewhat memorable…I’ll make it a FAQ Desk entry for future use!
