    @Scott-Sumner Thanks, worked a treat. Also found that if I opened it in Libre Office Writer and saved as *.csv it cleared unwanted blank lines as well.

    @Stephanus-Schoeman you can enable big icon or use the plugin Customize Toolbar, although I’m not sure how it does handle 4K resolution, and you can use your own set of icons by following this way. [image: 7kQBazl.png] Cheers Claudia

    Yes, there is such an option. The option is called ‘Macro’. You can find it in the Notepad++ main menu between ‘Tools’ and ‘Run’. Macro - Start Recording would be a good starting point. Have fun !

    If you use the portable (zip-file) version, it doesn’t register itself with Windows, so Windows doesn’t automatically list it for choosing with “Open With…” or similar. However, under most versions of Windows, you can select “browse” in the “Open With” dialog, and go find notepad++.exe yourself. Or, if you are an advanced user, you can edit your association(s) in your registry. (For example, in mine, HKCR\.txt\ uses the (Default) string value with data txtfile, and HKCR\txtfile\Shell\open\command\ uses the (Default) string value of my full path for notepad++.exe. If you don’t understand any of those terms in these parentheses, you probably should be wary of editing your registry yourself.)

    Hi, @fernando-conti, Very easy with regular expressions, indeed ! Open your file, in Notepad++ Move back at the very beginning ( CTRL + Origin ) Open the Find / Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H ) Check the Regular expression search mode Check, if necessary, the Match case option In the Find what: zone, type the regex \[.+?\] In the Replace with: zone, simply type the text that must replace all the [......] zones or leave it empty if you prefer to delete the [......] zones Click on the Replace All button Et voilà, Notes : As the symbols [ and ] have special meaning in regular expressions, they have to be escaped, both, to be considered as literal characters The part .+? stands for the smallest range of characters, between the symbols [ and ] For instance, given the example text, below : This is a [123] test for searching [abc] all the [.......] zones ! The regex : SEARCH \[.+?\] REPLACE Leave EMPTY modifies the text as below : This is a test for searching all the zones ! If the regex was \[.+\], it would have select the largest zone between the symbols [ and ], that it to say, the string “[123] test for searching [abc] all the [.......]”, in our example. Certainly not what you’re looking for ! Best Regards, guy038

    @patrickdrd yes you just need to install the nppcrypt plugin this will allow you to select your desired algorithm and passphrase to encrypt or decrypt any file or any selected text within a file you can install it by downloading it here: https://github.com/jeanpaulrichter/nppcrypt or via the plugin manager if you have installed it

    @Muhammad-Ahmad You must have associated *.bat files with another program or maybe even NPP? See here how to reset it: https://superuser.com/questions/53948/how-do-i-restore-bat-files-association-with-the-system-make-them-run-when-doub Or maybe this if above does not solve it: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/fc2ca91d-5509-4c9b-92a5-5af19375e361/lost-bat-file-association?forum=w7itprogeneral You may have to restart Windows for this to take effect.
