Thank you Mr. PeterJones

问题解决,感谢百度贴吧的 千城真人 吧友 ,
其原始命令为 C:\downloads\cmder_mini\Cmder.exe /task {cmd::Cmder}&"C:\npMingw64\mingw\bin\python3.exe $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) &echo "
因为设置过环境变量, 精简为 cmder /task {cmd::Cmder}&"python $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) " (后引号前空格不能省)

I appreciate your help friends

@guy038

So we have 3 cursors, in front of each string

We should note that to get multiple carets (aka cursors) you need Settings (menu) -> Preferences… -> Editing (box on left) -> Multi-Editing Settings -> Enable … ticked…which by default it is not.

This FAQ explains where to go for feature requests.

Apologies @guy038 and @scott-sumner, my post on “best” regex and “trying to outdo each other” was not meant seriously (;-D). And yes our primary goal here is to help the OP with their problem. I do still think though that we are trying to make our regex’s more efficient through this process. Does that equate to “best”, possibly in a roundabout way? And yes more efficient doesn’t necessarily mean faster, it may mean less complicated for the OP to understand and follow.

And I welcome having others critique my regex, thanks @guy038, your “shortened” version of my regex was welcomed. I hadn’t spent a lot of time on the regex, I was mainly concerned with looking for a “more efficient”/“less complicated” solution.

Thanks
Terry :-))

There is the View > Word Wrap toggle. With Word Wrap disabled, a long line will go off the right side of the screen, and not start a new line until EOL (CRLF, CR, or LF) is encountered. With it enabled, a line longer than your screen will wrap to the next line.

Since I don’t know whether EDI documents are always newline-terminated for each “segment”, I don’t know if that’s sufficient for you. If not, you might want to embed a few lines (confidential info redacted), prefixing each line with four spaces, and surrounding your quote by a blank line on each end. With that example, you might be able to explain and/or show a screenshot as to what NPP is doing (screenshot > imgur.com > ), and explain what you’d actually like it to do.

Hello, I updated Notepad++ to the latest version and it seems to work ok!!
Thank you :-)

Thanks Peter, I had a feeling this was the case but wanted to get an expert opinion. I wish there was a way to copy the builtin lexer to a UDL then make modifications to it.

thanks you Scott Sumner

@Scott-Sumner, you may be right. I had originally interpreted it the way I had, but reading again, I’m heading your direction now.

It all goes back to getting “good” and “clear” information. I was looking at them like html tags, so an opening and closing “version 1” pair.

The OP will have choices now and when they try each option they can make the decision for themselves…
