Hello @nick-minchin, @alan-kilborn and All,

Here is the road map for this S/R :

Open your file in Notepad++

Go to the very beginning of this file ( Ctrl + Home )

Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )

SEARCH (?x-si) ( ^ \h* "formatter":\x20+"function | (?!\A) \G ) .*? \K " (?!$)

REPLACE '

Un-tick all options

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click on the Replace All button ( Do not use the Replace button !)

Voila !

This S/R will replace any non-trailing double quote ", only after the string "formatter": "function, with a simple quote ', in all the lines of your file

Best Regards

@millu-jorge ,

That plugin is new to me. But it seems to hook NPPN_* events and run NppExec scripts.

So, you would need to make an NppExec Script that will commit your project to GitHub – probably something that did a commit to your local repo, and a push to the GitHub repo. And then you could then hook the NPPN_FILESAVED event to call that NppExec script.

To do anything beyond that would require you to write the scripts that do the git/github actions you desire, and then figuring out which NPPN_* event best matches when you’d want that to.

You can look my NppExec + SVN examples below, and base your git scripts on those. However, I highly suggest investigating the Better Idea first:

Better Idea

I would recommend looking at the GitSCM plugin instead: that probably has all the functions you would want/need, without having to figure out a script for each of them, or hassle with hooking them to the right events.

NppExec + SVN examples

Personally, for my subversion-based version control, I have four NppExec scripts, which commit the current dir, commit the current file, add the current dir, and update the current dir. And I just entries in my contextMenu.xml (Settings > Edit Popup ContextMenu) that call those scripts, so I do it manually rather than on triggers. But even knowing that they can be done on triggers, I doubt I would do them, since not all my files are in subversion control, so I don’t want it trying to run the “commit” script every time I save a file that isn’t in subversion.

if you want to use my svn scripts as templates for the same concepts that you would use for git, I will include them below. However, you will not want to do the NPP_SAVE command in each if you are going to be triggering off of the NPPN_FILESAVED event, because that will cause an infinite loop

::Svn-Commit-Dir NPP_SAVE cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" INPUTBOX "SVN commit $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" : "Message: " : cmd /c svn commit -m "$(INPUT)" cmd /c svn update ::Svn-Commit-File NPP_SAVE cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" INPUTBOX "SVN commit $(FILE_NAME)" : "Message: " : cmd /c svn commit "$(FILE_NAME)" -m "$(INPUT)" cmd /c svn update "$(FILE_NAME)" ::Svn-Add-File NPP_SAVE cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" cmd /c svn add "$(FILE_NAME)" ::Svn-Update cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" cmd /c svn update .

(and no, I will not rewrite those to work for git/github for you. the concepts you need are all there, and translating those concepts to git will help you learn the tool.)

@Larry-Schwartz
My apologies for the confusion. I want to modify the configuration file that controls what file attributes are shown when EVERYTHING displays its file list. I use NPP as my text editor. I should be asking this question in the EVERYTHING forum. Again, my apologies for taking your time.

@Software-Support said in XML File - Create an element and get a value from existing attribute:

The value 2.92 will be appeared as 2

Well, for exactly that situation, you’d want to change the \d+ appearing in the original Find expression to \d+\.\d+, I guess…

But this gets into a bigger topic of how to match floating point numbers as well as integers.

And that really isn’t a Notepad++ topic, so patience with such questions wears thin. Suggest you follow the link I provided before about regular expressions.

@General-H

See HERE.

@Trader-S7 ,

No (see https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/wiki/FAQ#support-for-systems-other-than-the-ms-windows-family)

@PeterJones said in Python Script toolbar button moves after execution:

So I don’t know what it might be.

Ok, thanks anyway Peter. Always appreciate your input. Hopefully someone will know what’s causing it.

@Артём

Keep an eye on this THREAD. Hopefully I am soon finishing up the script I’ve worked on to “solve” that very similar issue.

Think I’m finally getting there. Thank you Peter and, for now, over and out.

@Marek-Šanoba ,

How old is your shortcuts.xml ? The Send Via Outlook was commented out in v7.6.3 in 2019, and those comments were removed completely in v7.9.3 .

That said, you are allowed to have whatever commands you want in your run menu, so you are allowed to keep the ancient outlook /a "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" command if you want it. However, as with any program run from the command line, if it’s not in your PATH, you need to provide a full path to the outlook.exe executable. I have a working Outlook installation on my work laptop, but if I drop to cmd.exe or powershell and try to run Outlook from the command line by just typing outlook.exe, I get the error 'outlook.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. . This is the equivalent command-line message to the ShellExecute ERROR that you quoted.

For my new work laptop, with a clean installation of Outlook, outlook.exe is not in the PATH, so neither the command line nor Notepad++'s Run command can find it. But if I set Notepad++ > Run > Run… to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE" /a "$(FULL_CURRENT_FILE)", it will attach the saved copy of the active file to an email using outlook – please note the quote marks.

So you need to find your path to the outlook executable. (Probably something similar, though I’m guessing you have a sensible 64bit outlook at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE", but that is just a guess)

hey thats so easy
thanks, now I will know from now!

@Alan-Bourke

You are right, that is one of the limitations.
One way around this limitation would be to use the EnhanceAnyLexer plugin, of which I am the author, and define a regex that matches anything within a beginning ' and closing ' character.

@PeterJones said in UDL and hex prefix:
That has cracked it thanks. The ‘e’ issue was because I had

end sub

in Folding style 1 Close, I should have had

‘end sub’

@Hakar-Mahmoud ,

See the “Scenario: My (unsaved) files are missing!” section in the Backup FAQ. Unfortunately, it’s not a miracle cure, but it offers the best advice we have on this subject. I suggest familiarizing yourself with that whole FAQ to not run into this problem again.

There’s the possibility to script a solution to such a problem; for ideas on that, see this related CONCEPT.

@guy038 You reminded me why I didn’t need my python plugin recently! I have been using that edit/insert/date and forgot about it! A lot of cool plugins are now incorporated in notepad, like sort/compare/etc…

@Seth-Bettwizilch said in TypeScript not highlighting syntax outside of default style:

recreate Vibrant Ink to be more faithful and up-to-date

Maybe give it a new fancy name as well, and submit it to the user-defined themes collection, where it will be maintained in the future (by you) and really shine! :-)

My thinking is that the existing Vibrant Ink theme is just going to live on the way it currently is, under Notepad++, so something you improve/augment would benefit from a new name to avoid confusion.

XML Tools v3.1.1.13 is avaiable for download through Notepad++ v8.4.4 Plugins Admin:

If you already have XML Tools installed, it may be listed on the Updates or Installed tab, instead.

Hello, @smart-warriors and All,

If we assume that the strings <a href= and </a> are, both, on one line, only, I suppose that the following regex does the job :

Open the Mark dialog ( Ctrl + M )

SEARCH (?s)<a href=.+?>\K.+?(?=</a>)

Possibly, check the Wrap around option

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click on the Mark All button

Then, click on the Copy Marked Text button

Open a new tab ( Ctrl + N )

Paste the clipboard’s contents ( Ctrl + V )

If all your <a href=.....>........</a> definitions are contained in a single line, you may use the more restrictive regex :

MARK (?-s)<a href=.+?>\K.+?(?=</a>)

Best Regards,
