[CORRECTED LINK]…here’s the link…

word is a reference to Microsoft Word. Notepad++ is not a word processor!

There is, however, an old HTML editor of the 1990s: Arachnophilia. I still use it, as it adds tags for me (e.g. select text, then press Ctrl+I to emphasize). I copy-and-paste from Word, for example, to Arachnophilia: the formatting is preserved. Then, when I see bold text, I simply select the text in Arachnophilia and press Ctrl+B, etc.

Maybe Claudia can write such a useful plug-in.
“Plug it in, plug it in!” is a popular ad for air fresheners on American TV.

Peace be with you and this community!

do not click on the author links, instead use the language link and the xml shows up.

Thanks for the help. Here is a simple parser for MooTools. I’ll expand it as I become more familiar with PCRE.

<association id= "mootools_syntax" langID="19" /> <parser displayName="MooTools" id ="mootools_syntax" commentExpr="(?s:/\*.*?\*/)|(?m-s://.*?$)" > <classRange mainExpr ="(^var[\t\x20]+[A-Za-z_]\w*\s*\=\s*\{|(\bvar)?[\t\x20]+[A-Za-z_]\w*\s*\=\s*new\s+[A-Za-z_]\w*\s*\(\s*\{)" openSymbole ="\{" closeSymbole="\}" > <className> <nameExpr expr="[\t\x20]+[A-Za-z_]\w*" /> <nameExpr expr="[A-Za-z_]\w*" /> </className> <function mainExpr="^[\t\x20]+\w+[\t\x20]*\:[\t\x20]*function" > <functionName> <funcNameExpr expr="[\t\x20]+\w+" /> <funcNameExpr expr="\w+" /> </functionName> </function> </classRange> <function mainExpr="((^|\s+|[;\}\.])([A-Za-z_]\w*\.)*[A-Za-z_]\w*\s*[=:]|^|[\s;\}]+)\s*function(\s+[A-Za-z_]?\w*\s*\([^\)\(]*\)|\([^\)\(]*\))[\n\s]*\{" > <functionName> <nameExpr expr="[A-Za-z_]\w*\s*[=:]|[A-Za-z_]?\w*\s*\(" /> <nameExpr expr="[A-Za-z_]?\w*" /> </functionName> <className> <nameExpr expr="([A-Za-z_]\w*\.)*[A-Za-z_]\w*\." /> <nameExpr expr="([A-Za-z_]\w*\.)*[A-Za-z_]\w*" /> </className> </function> </parser>

I don’t know PL1, but if it has any type of preprocessing ability like C does, you could do something like this:

#define procend end

and then use “procend” in your code. This is not ideal, I admit.

Otherwise, I think you have to define all the statement N’s you might use as the beginning of some fold (Open:) and add the corresponding number of “end” statements to end the fold (Close:). That is, you can have multiple Open:, Middle: and Close: tokens; just make sure they are in the correct order (first Close: goes with the first Open:, etc.).

You are my new ‘Rock Star!’ That worked exactly like i needed it to!!! Thanks a million!

i think that i shall read the regex links before to try python :-)
still thanks guy, your way to copy a block was really great for me

Problem solved…
In the settings menu added default program
(RU)
Проблемма решена…
В меню настроек добавил программы по умолчанию

Thank you man it worked! You came clutch for me. :)

Hi Claudia,
that works perfect !! many thx :-)
feedback: if you make changes before running the modified macro
npp asks if the changes should be saved.

Hi Scott, thanks for your answer, but unfortunately this does not help, because the lines are very long and to be able to fully see them I need to have automatic line break enabled. The translated german lines are even longer than the english ones. So a line in english that is wrapped into 3 lines sometimes goes to 4 lines in the german version. So the more I scroll down, the more difference I have. For example when I scoll the german version down to line 1200, the other text is still at line 950. What I need is to have the same line in both texts side by side.
