@kolos-1212 said in Notepad++ took over my Win 10 Notepad w/o my permission "Please reinstall Notepad Starter":

@Ekopalypse It did happen to me as well. I downloaded it from Admin Plugins so I guess it is official if I can directly access it from notepad++.

Official was used in the context of “developed by the npp developer”, so, no, this plugin is/was developed by someone else.

I surely didn’t want something like this to happen and I am wasn’t really reading what it does I just needed it for some function to test lol.

I don’t understand, what other functionality does this plugin have? Hmm … sounds like you are the perfect candidate for scammers and the like. Be careful.

Thanks to everyone for their replies.
Again, we fixed this issue.

@Terry-R
Your explanation is very enough.
By doing as you said, the plugin worked without any problems in the portable version.
Thank you for this.

Also, I couldn’t explain myself well because my English is not very good. I apologize for that too.

@lcy10311 ,

For example, it works just fine for me:

You might want to check that your current theme defines the styles reasonably:

@Istanbullu ,

converts wrongly (as i to I and vice versa).

The i you have entered is U+0069 (“LATIN SMALL LETTER I”, also ASCII 105) and is always defined as lowercase. The I you have entered is U+0049 (“LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I”, also ASCII 73), and is always defined as uppercase. As far as I know, it is always correct for a case conversion process to convert one to the other (as they are an upper/lower pair in the latin-based alphabets, as far as I understand it).

The İ is U+0130 (“LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE”), and that one is considered uppercase/capital in Unicode definition; the ı is U+0131 (“LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I”) and is considered lowercase/small in Unicode. However, I am not an expert on the capitalization/lowercasization (not a word, I know) rules for the non-ASCII characters, so I don’t know if Unicode defines pairs for the case-conversion on those characters or not.

If you find official Unicode documentation that explains the rules for case conversion on those U+0130 and U+0131 characters (or that gives an exception for circumstances when U+0049 and U+0068 are not a pair with each other), then you can read the feature request/bug report FAQ and follow the instructions there on where to put in official feature requests / bug reports. In your official bug report, you will need to request that the development team improve the case-conversion features, and you will need to provide that reference to the developers, and explain the “correct behavior” as you understand it).

(Aside: I moved your topic from Plugins Development to Help Wanted, because it was not a plugin question.)

@Tyler-Durden-0 said in Japanese font not displaying in notepad++:

It has .nfo extension but content is XML, if it helps finding the solution.

There’s your problem. Notepad++ is hardcoded to interpret .nfo file as OEM-US, because that is the official encoding of the historic DOS-era .nfo files.

If it’s really an XML file, change the extension before opening it in Notepad++

@caramadra

FIND = \R
REPLACE = $0$0
SEARCH MODE = regular expression
REPLACE ALL

This can be recorded as a macro and assigned to a keyboard shortcut for easy use.

Sorry to have asked I have just found it is very easy to do with the search all function and then cut and paste the results

@Terry-R thanks terry and others for the info much appreciate. long life and good health to you all.

@Andrey-Fedorchuk ,

UDL wasn’t really intended for “phrases”; it was meant as a simple keyword/operator highlighter. In certain fields (the folding fields and the delimiter fields), you can put double-quotes around phrases so that the space will be part of the folding-trigger or delimiter… but I don’t know of a way that allows embedding quotes inside a multi-word phrase. Sorry.

You might want to look into the AnalysePlugin – it’s reason for existing is to make navigating/searching/highlighting large logfiles easier.

Alternately, the EnhanceAnyLexer will allow you to change the foreground color of strings matching regexes, so if you have an OpenWRT UDL, then making a [OpenWRT] section in the EnhanceAnyLexer config will allow you to define regex-based rules, which could use a regex like ^Successful ping of the target.*$ for matching any line starting with those… or if you want only the exact, then do the exact line.

@Marc-Surprenant said in Find and Replace Window:

It helps but i would still like it bigger

There is a feature request already in place for this. You can see it HERE and if you want to add your thoughts there, developers will see that multiple people want this.

@Livieishere

I presume you didn’t create this file, but rather were given it or obtained it from somewhere.

I don’t know much about css, but I’d presume that it isn’t required to have line-ending characters.

@Christophe-MERCEY

two alternatives are
a) using NppExec and its option to Execute this script when Notepad++ starts
or
b) a scripting language plugin like PythonScript

@VenomNihil said in Replace variable chain of text then adding pattern before and after:

the ^ doesn’t work with the spacing but I supposed is because I posted a screenshot. But just using " item " instead does the job.

Yes, it is tough to work from a screenshot; that’s why we have suggestions to not post them for this type of problem, or to post both a screenshot and the literal text. Apparently we failed to noticed this part of your original posting:

@Michael-Vincent - cool, a nice one, thx.

@Harrison-Costas ,

I said,

quite a few hours before I could check my home machine

I just checked. According to the registry Key section I mentioned, the UninstallString is "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\uninstall.exe" and QuietUninstallString is "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\uninstall.exe" /S

See FAQ entry HERE.

@Swati-Rohatgi
There is no formal method guaranteed to work everytime.

However you may want to search the forum for helpful hints that users have identified to make the process as painless as possible. Try this post as a starting point.

@ADEYINKA-ADEWOYIN ,

You do realize that @Alan-Kilborn already answered that question for you: the regex he showed worked for him. If it doesn’t work for you, you will have to provide more details , because that regex will work to delete the first line of the files. He even asked you to provide more details to explain how the given regex doesn’t work for you.

You really need to read this FAQ and see the referenes below.

That said, can be simplified: a large part of the original expression was only needed because the original post wanted to delete line#15, not line#1. To delete the first line is simpler: FIND = (?-s)\A(^.*$\R?), REPLACE is empty, and SEARCH MODE must be REGULAR EXPRESSION.

@Alan-Kilborn

Thank you so much. It worked. I was able to beautify the txt like I wanted after applying your solution with extended expressions.
