    Hi, All,

    In addition to all the Latin letters, matched by an equivalence class ( [[=X=]] ), in my two previous posts, here are the last tables, about :

    The digit characters

    Some currency symbols

    The Greek letters and some symbols

    Different characters X found, when using an EQUIVALENCE CLASS [[=X=]] : ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• | Code | Char. | | Code | Char. | | Code | Char. | | Code | Char. | | Code | Char. | •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• | 0030 | 0 | | 0035 | 5 | | 2469 | [ ⑩ ] | | 246F | [ ⑯ ] | | 00A2 | ¢ | | 24EA | ⓪ | | 2464 | [ ⑤ ] | | 247D | ⑽ | | 2483 | ⒃ | | FFE0 | ￠ | | FF10 | ０ | | 2478 | [ ⑸ ] | | 2491 | ⒑ | | 2497 | ⒗ | •------•-------• •------•-------• | 248C | ⒌ | •------•-------• •------•-------• | 00A3 | £ | | 0031 | 1 | | FF15 | ５ | | 246A | [ ⑪ ] | | 2470 | [ ⑰ ] | | FFE1 | ￡ | | 00B9 | ¹ | •------•-------• | 247E | ⑾ | | 2484 | ⒄ | •------•-------• | 2460 | ① | | 0036 | 6 | | 2492 | ⒒ | | 2498 | ⒘ | | 00A5 | ¥ | | 2474 | [ ⑴ ] | | 2465 | [ ⑥ ] | •------•-------• •------•-------• | FFE5 | ￥ | | 2488 | ⒈ | | 2479 | [ ⑹ ] | | 246B | [ ⑫ ] | | 2471 | [ ⑱ ] | •------•-------• | FF11 | １ | | 248D | ⒍ | | 247F | ⑿ | | 2485 | ⒅ | | 20A9 | ₩ | •------•-------• | FF16 | ６ | | 2493 | ⒓ | | 2499 | ⒙ | | FFE6 | ￦ | | 0032 | 2 | •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• | 00B2 | ² | | 0037 | 7 | | 246C | [ ⑬ ] | | 2472 | [ ⑲ ] | | 01BB | ƻ | | 2466 | [ ⑦ ] | | 2480 | ⒀ | | 2486 | ⒆ | | 2461 | [ ② ] | | 247A | [ ⑺ ] | | 2494 | ⒔ | | 249A | ⒚ | | 2475 | [ ⑵ ] | | 248E | ⒎ | •------•-------• •------•-------• | 2489 | ⒉ | | FF17 | ７ | | 246D | [ ⑭ ] | | 2473 | [ ⑳ ] | | FF12 | ２ | •------•-------• | 2481 | ⒁ | | 2487 | ⒇ | •------•-------• | 0038 | 8 | | 2495 | ⒕ | | 249B | ⒛ | | 0033 | 3 | | 2467 | [ ⑧ ] | •------•-------• •------•-------• | 00B3 | ³ | | 247B | [ ⑻ ] | | 246E | [ ⑮ ] | | 2462 | [ ③ ] | | 248F | ⒏ | | 2482 | ⒂ | | 2476 | [ ⑶ ] | | FF18 | ８ | | 2496 | ⒖ | | 248A | ⒊ | •------•-------• •------•-------• | FF13 | ３ | | 0039 | 9 | •------•-------• | 2468 | [ ⑨ ] | | 0034 | 4 | | 247C | [ ⑼ ] | | 2463 | [ ④ ] | | 2490 | ⒐ | | 2477 | [ ⑷ ] | | FF19 | ９ | | 248B | ⒋ | •------•-------• | FF14 | ４ | •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• | Code | Char. | | Code | Char. | | Code | Char. | | Code | Char. | | Code | Char. | •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• | 0386 | Ά | | 0389 | Ή | | 039C | Μ | | 03A3 | Σ | | 03A8 | Ψ | | 0391 | Α | | 0397 | Η | | 03BC | μ | | 03C2 | ς | | 03C8 | ψ | | 03AC | ά | | 03AE | ή | •------•-------• | 03C3 | σ | •------•-------• | 03B1 | α | | 03B7 | η | | 039D | Ν | | 03F2 | ϲ | | 038F | Ώ | •------•-------• •------•-------• | 03BD | ν | •------•-------• | 03A9 | Ω | | 0392 | Β | | 0398 | Θ | •------•-------• | 03A4 | Τ | | 03C9 | ω | | 03B2 | β | | 03B8 | θ | | 039E | Ξ | | 03C4 | τ | | 03CE | ώ | | 03D0 | ϐ | | 03D1 | ϑ | | 03BE | ξ | •------•-------• | 2126 | Ω | •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• | 038E | Ύ | | 2127 | ℧ | | 0393 | Γ | | 038A | Ί | | 038C | Ό | | 03A5 | Υ | | 2129 | ℩ | | 03B3 | γ | | 0390 | ΐ | | 039F | Ο | | 03AB | Ϋ | •------•-------• •------•-------• | 0399 | Ι | | 03BF | ο | | 03B0 | ΰ | | 03DA | Ϛ | | 0394 | Δ | | 03AA | Ϊ | | 03CC | ό | | 03C5 | υ | | 03DB | ϛ | | 03B4 | δ | | 03AF | ί | •------•-------• | 03CB | ϋ | •------•-------• •------•-------• | 03B9 | ι | | 03A0 | Π | | 03CD | ύ | | 03DC | Ϝ | | 0388 | Έ | | 03CA | ϊ | | 03C0 | π | | 03D2 | ϒ | | 03DD | ϝ | | 0395 | Ε | •------•-------• | 03D6 | ϖ | | 03D3 | ϓ | •------•-------• | 03AD | έ | | 039A | Κ | •------•-------• | 03D4 | ϔ | | 03DE | Ϟ | | 03B5 | ε | | 03BA | κ | | 03A1 | Ρ | •------•-------• | 03DF | ϟ | •------•-------• | 03F0 | ϰ | | 03C1 | ρ | | 03A6 | Φ | •------•-------• | 0396 | Ζ | •------•-------• | 03F1 | ϱ | | 03C6 | φ | | 03E0 | Ϡ | | 03B6 | ζ | | 039B | Λ | •------•-------• | 03D5 | ϕ | | 03E1 | ϡ | •------•-------• | 03BB | λ | •------•-------• •------•-------• •------•-------• | 03A7 | Χ | | 03C7 | χ | •------•-------•

    Feature requests have a better chance of being noticed in the official Notepad++ Issues on the GitHub project; the maintainer occasionally reads some threads on these Community Forums, but it’s not guaranteed that a feature request in the Forums will be noticed or followed up on. Requests on GitHub aren’t guaranteed to be implemented, either (it’s a volunteer coding effort, after all), but the chances are better.

    You can search the existing issues for your idea: for example, I just did a quick search for “virtual desktop” there, and found issue#2755: ‘’[Feature Request] Option for one Notepad++ "mono-instance" per virtual desktop’’ looks like it’s asking for what you want, so you could upvote it (and maybe add additional comments, such as your link to the MSDN “Remarks” section, to help give ideas how to implement it).

    @Murray-Sobol

    In addition to Peters useful tips,
    could it be that the sql files are sql dumps containing non-ascii chars and
    could it be that DSpellCheck is active aka Plugins->DSpellCheck->Spellcheck Document Automatically is checked? If so, I would give it a try with deactivated DSpellCheck.

    Which npp version (debug-info under ? menu)?
    Which operating system version?
    Which “enter” key did you use? (the one near to the letters or the one from the numberblock?
    Any additional info which you can provide to help to identify what could have been caused this is
    very much appreciated

    Yeah, that’s not what I need. This mode I had been switched, as suggested to me by Google. But in new Windows only those files that are opened by double-clicking on the file are opened. And I would like the files to be opened in new Windows from the context menu of the program.

    Find what : \)\R = find literal parenthesis followed by newline sequence
    Replace with : \)\x20 = replace with literal parenthesis followed by a space (character 0x20)
    Search Mode : ☑ Regular Expression

    P.S. :
    (paraphrasing @guy038, the forum’s regex guru, who compiled these great regex resources, but hasn’t shared them in this thread yet):

    Here is a good starting point for NPP users unfamiliar with regular expression concepts and syntax:

    http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Regular_Expressions

    Modern Notepad++ (since v6.0) uses the Boost C++ Regex library, v1.55.0 (similar to the Perl Regular Common Expressions (PRCE), v5.8):

    search syntax: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/perl_syntax.html replace syntax: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/format/boost_format_syntax.html

    Other sites with valuable regular expression information include:

    I have notepad++ 7.5.6 (32-bit) installed and I can see syntax highlighting for .ps1 files.
    I don’t know why you can’t see them.

    Vscode and Atom are too resource-consuming.
    Sublime’s py plugin is too slow
    npp and most of its plugins are written in C++, which is light and high performance, absolutely green portable software

    I like npp absolutely green this feature, I use npp and all other development environments in the u disk… You can put one npp per user directory, anyway, npp is very small compared to vscode or atom.

    Visualization for zero-width characters

    Hello, @petyo-vodenicharov, @peterjones and All,

    In addition, to the two valuable Peter’s posts, above, here is my contribution to these strange characters ;-))

    Here is, below, a list of all the Unicode characters, with the General category property = Cf ( Format Character ), which, both, have a code value < FFFF and do NOT, strictly, depend on a specific language !

    •--------•--------•-------------------------------------------•------•---------• | Code | Abbr. | Complete Name | Cat. | >Car< | •--------•--------•-------------------------------------------•------•---------• | 00AD | SHY | SOFT HYPHEN | Cf | >­< | •--------•--------•-------------------------------------------•------•---------• | 200B | ZWSP | ZERO WIDTH SPACE | Cf | >​< | | 200C | ZWNJ | ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER | Cf | >‌< | | 200D | ZWJ | ZERO WIDTH JOINER | Cf | >‍< | | 200E | LRM | LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK | Cf | >‎< | | 200F | RLM | RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK | Cf | >‏< | •--------•--------•-------------------------------------------•------•---------• | 202A | LRE | LEFT-TO-RIGHT EMBEDDING | Cf | >‪< | | 202B | RLE | RIGHT-TO-LEFT EMBEDDING | Cf | >‫< | | 202C | PDF | POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING | Cf | >‬< | | 202D | LRO | LEFT-TO-RIGHT OVERRIDE | Cf | >‭< | | 202E | RLO | RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE | Cf | >‮| •--------•--------•-------------------------------------------•------•---------• | 2060 | WJ | WORD JOINER | Cf | >⁠< | | 2061 | ƒ() | FUNCTION APPLICATION | Cf | >⁡< | | 2062 | × | INVISIBLE TIMES | Cf | >⁢< | | 2063 | , | INVISIBLE SEPARATOR | Cf | >⁣< | | 2064 | + | INVISIBLE PLUS | Cf | >⁤< | | 2066 | LRI | LEFT-TO-RIGHT ISOLATE | Cf | >⁦< | | 2067 | RLI | RIGHT-TO-LEFT ISOLATE | Cf | >⁧< | | 2068 | FSI | FIRST STRONG ISOLATE | Cf | >⁨< | | 2069 | PDI | POP DIRECTIONAL ISOLATE | Cf | >⁩< | | 206A | ISS | INHIBIT SYMMETRIC SWAPPING | Cf | >< | | 206B | ASS | ACTIVATE SYMMETRIC SWAPPING | Cf | >< | | 206C | IAFS | INHIBIT ARABIC FORM SHAPING | Cf | >< | | 206D | AAFS | ACTIVATE ARABIC FORM SHAPING | Cf | >< | | 206E | NADS | NATIONAL DIGIT SHAPES | Cf | >< | | 206F | NODS | NOMINAL DIGIT SHAPES | Cf | >< | •--------•--------•-------------------------------------------•------•---------• | FEFF | ZWNBSP | ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE | Cf | >< | •--------•--------•-------------------------------------------•------•---------• | FFF9 | IAA | INTERLINEAR ANNOTATION ANCHOR | Cf | >< | | FFFA | IAS | INTERLINEAR ANNOTATION SEPARATOR | Cf | >< | | FFFB | IAT | INTERLINEAR ANNOTATION TERMINATOR | Cf | >< | •--------•--------•-------------------------------------------•------•---------•

    Now, depending of the current font, that is used in N++, the glyph of these characters may :

    Be invisible ( A true Zero Width character )

    Display a square or a thin rectangular box ( Character not handled by current font )

    Display a specific character ( case of the Soft Hyphen )

    Of course, with the simple regular expression \x{####}, you can match the character of Unicode value = ####. But, it would be better to find out a regex to match any of these format characters !

    I noticed that the Posix character class [[:cntrl:]] matches most of these characters :

    The 4 characters, from \x{200C} to \x{200F}

    The 5 characters, from \x{202A} to \x{202E}

    The 6 characters, from \x{206A} to \x{206F}

    The character \x{FEFF}

    The 3 characters, from \x{FFF9} to \x{FFFB}

    Unfortunately, the [[:cntrl:]] regex, also matches the Control characters :

    The 32 C0 characters, from \x{0000} to \x{001F}

    The 32 C1 characters, from \x{0080} to \x{009F}

    Moreover, the [[:cntrl:]] regex misses some characters :

    The Soft Hyphen \x{00AD}

    The Zero Width Space \x{200B}

    The 9 characters, from \x{2060} to \x{2069}

    So, a correct regex, to match all these format characters, above, in an Unicode encoded file, could be :

    (?=[[:unicode:]])[[:cntrl:]\x{200B}\x{2060}-\x{2069}]|\xAD

    Now, how to visualize a zero-width character ? If you just hit the Find Next button, you see that a specific line is reached but you do not know the exact location of this/these zero-width char(s) :-((

    Two solutions are possible :

    (?-s).((?=[[:unicode:]])[[:cntrl:]\x{200B}\x{2060}-\x{2069}]|\xAD)+.

    Which match two standard characters, separated by, one or several consecutive format character(s)

    ((?=[[:unicode:]])[[:cntrl:]\x{200B}\x{2060}-\x{2069}]|\xAD)+

    Which mark all these format chars, while clicking on the Mark All button ( the best solution, to my mind ! )

    So, trying the simple regex \x{200B}, against the sentence, below and using the Mark option, will convince you that this sentence does contain some Zero Width Space characters, inside !

    F​or exam​ple, I’ve ins​erted 10 ze​ro-width spa​ces in​to thi​s sentence, c​an you tel​​l me where ?

    Note that, between the two letters l of the verb tell, there are two consecutive chars \x{200B} !

    You can see a description of these format characters, from the following links :

    http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2000.pdf

    http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UFE70.pdf

    http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UFFF0.pdf

    Refer, also, to that post :

    https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/14812/how-to-search-for-unknown-3-digit-characters-with-black-background/2

    Best Regards,

    guy038

    P.S. :

    Simply, copy/paste the list and the sentence, above, in inverse video, in a new tab and enjoy !
