@Claudia-Frank
Thanks for the input!

I got to do a lot of experimenting with it.
What comes to my mind - I could use some external libararies for
the lexical analysis, but then I have another task - to import and use 3d party
libraries with the PS plugin… but anyway, it seems that is not necessary – I have
regex and could loop over bytes as well, so it is not main problem here.

All in all, sounds like an interesting challenge.

More recent functionList.xml files include comment to indicate what to do to customise the view of the function list (i.e. show/hide parameters).

@mkupper

one thing you could try, if you use python script plugin, is to set a representation
like @PeterJones described here.

Well, it is supposed to mean that you have a combination totaling 2 of:

replies to threads you participated in reputation changes to posts you made

But, as noted before, it seems a bit buggy if you have been away for a while

It’s working again!

@Stealth225-Music

See here.

Notepad++ v7.5.8 (64-bit)
Build time : Jul 23 2018 - 02:06:36
Path : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Admin mode : OFF
Local Conf mode : OFF
OS : Windows 10 (64-bit)
Plugins : DSpellCheck.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll

Hope that helps.

I do run npp as adminsitrator. But it worked before.
Thanks god I kept an old version of npp v6.6.9, and I tried, and it really worked on that version.
Hope it could be fixed, or maybe just don’t update npp.

@Ed-Kolis

Works for me (I think, based upon your limited description). Can you explain what you are doing more exactly, and what you expect to happen?

@Balakrishna-Wejobmakers

…and…?

I think it is, which is too bad. I don’t know who has the ability to unlock registration or who can even make edits. There’s some good information there, but also some cruft and it’s hard to tell which is which.

If anyone reading this can edit the wiki, this page says the "no plugins’ switch is -noPlugins when it’s -noPlugin

@C-Legge

It seems to work for me, even though I don’t use this feature normally. What exactly is your setup? Saying that:

set up my preferences exactly the same as on the older version of Notepad++ running on my other PC…

doesn’t help anyone trying to assist, as we don’t know what those settings are…

@Terry-R, yes and no. Yes, doing SaveAs CSV from inside Excel will save the CSV with the values. But if you hand-craft a CSV file like

"=5+6","=1+cos(.1)"

and open it in Excel, Excel will recognize and treat those as formulas when you open the CSV.

And there are ways to grab the formulas out of Excel and paste them into Notepad++, so it’s not unreasonable to want to be able to do syntax highlighting.

@Денис-Ревин , Unfortunately, I do not know of an Excel-forumla syntax highlighter available for download. If you wanted to spend the effort, you could use Notepad++'s Language > Define your language… to bring up the UDL (User Defined Language) dialog, and set up your own keywords, styles, etc.

Oh, I guess I was wrong. A quick search showed that the NPP Wiki’s UDL Files page has a link to xlf_udl.zip as described at “Daily Dose of Excel”

If you unzip that, then you can use Language > Define your language… > Import … to import the XML from that zipfile. Then, when you have Excel formulas in a given Notepad++ editor, you can select Language > XLF (where the “XLF” will be below the “Define your language…” option; if you don’t see it, you may have to exit Notepad++ and re-run it; I had to when I imported the XLF UDL). Once you manually select that Language (or if you save the file as .xlf, then it should automatically apply that Language when the file is opened).

Hmm… I think they actually did it the hard way. They listed every function individually as the opening string for a “Folding in code 1 style”, with the “)” to close any of them. But that means that the individual functions aren’t syntax highlighted, which seems to defeat the purpose to me.

I tried the experiment of cutting out all of those from the “open” tab (and temporarily pasting them in a blank NPP window); I then replaced the “Folding in code 1 style: Open:” with just the open parenthesis “(”. Then, in the NPP window, I deleted all the “(”, then copied all the function keywords into the UDL > Keywords Lists > 1st group, and applied a style. I think that would work better for you.

Anyway, good luck.

@coolalexhuang

do you think it is necessary to change the behavior of “Replace All” function to only replace selected text?

No, as there is a chekbox next to the replace all button which is called In selection
and does exactly what you are asking for.

@Subbarao-Manapragada

there is already an enhancement request open which addresses this feature.
Maybe you wanna update this with your suggestions and upvote the initial one.
But as long as no dev is interested in such a feature it might take some time,
before this get implemented.

I like that idea.

Cheers
Claudia
