    @Helloiam-Thomas

    The easiest way, without regex:

    Select the bloc you wanna replace and press Ctrl+H. Npp fills the Find what box automatically, with the proper codes inserted (although invisible, unless you try Find in files first; the results panel will show the Find string with the \r\n codes inserted properly).

    Select the text to Replace with. Unfortunately, Notepad++ does NOT fill the box with the proper codes automatically. You need insert the \r\n codes at the end of each line manually.

    some text**\r\n**
    some other text**\r\n**
    Comments**\r\n**
    Comments**\r\n**
    \r\n
    (Value 1<)\r\n

    Go to the end of each line and press Delete (it deletes the EOL codes, LF or CRLF).

    It is a one line bloc now. Select the new bloc of text and paste it into the Replace with box:

    some text**\r\nsome other text\r\nComments\r\nComments\r\n****\r\n***(Value 1<)*\r\n

    Voilà!

    @hh-hh

    Fonts are part of the operating system, so try to find one which fits your needs and install it.
    Afterwards use Settings->Style Configurator or define an UDL and choose the font you installed.
    Never tried it myself, but I assume it should work.

    After some pausing & thinking i digged into the problem again and i think i was hit by https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/3088. After reinstalling with (or better “without” the dont-use-APPDATA-option) it works like a charm.
    Sorry for bothering you,

    @fuhrmanator

    may I ask for what you need to define the blank lines?
    If I understand this correctly, it is only used to let the GIFT engine know when
    an new question starts.
    Even if it could be done, it doesn’t get visualized.

    What am I missing?

    @Jackson-Bruch

    for the sample data provided you could use a regular expression to search and replace
    Find what:

    (?s)G1 .*?G92 E0 ; reset extrusion distance\R

    and
    Replace with:

    $0$0$0$0$0

    This matches everything starting with G1 and ending with
    G92 E0 ; reset extrusion distance followed by an eol char (make sure
    you last line posted has this as well)

    5x $0 means 5 copies from what has matched.

    Cheers

    Sorry, I am watching my topics but I don’t see where I get any notification or mail… Thanks for trying to help me. (I don’t know what, I believe I already told you this somewhere…)

    I updated PM as you suggested, this solved my problem but I have another one. I try to install the TextFX plugin, but I get an error after clicking “Install”. Actually I get the same error when trying to add many plugins I tried to add: “Installation of xxxx failed.”

    if you edit shorcuts.xml you need to restart npp to make it happen.
    In regards to the different action types you might want to take a look

    I’ve noticed that if you have Multi-Instance turned on, the Backup feature only works on the first instance opened. For additional instances, you need to save/backup the files manually. Is this the issue?

    I’d also add that the NodeBB site has a lot of reports about broken searches, but since we don’t know what search plugin this site uses, it’s hard to tell what’s going on. But I would agree with Jim, the site search is very broken. Searching “langs” in the title only, you get things like “links” or “long”. I’ll take a page from Claudia’s book and use a search engine, but that won’t help with random people coming here to search for issues and then promptly giving up and putting in duplicate posts.

    First occurrence of series of words in file

    Hi, @zeff-wheelock and @scott-sumner,

    Scott, your regexes are exact, of course ! In addition, searching for the last occurrence makes sense, as we want to know the final state of all these servers.

    However, I must miss something ! To my mind, we should search for the last line, with the word connected, for each server, ONLY IF a previous line, with the word disconnected, for the according server, has not been found !

    For instance, if we consider the part of the Zeff’s log, below :

    05/23/2017 05:04:09 AM SMTP Server: qwerty321f.domain.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) connected 05/23/2017 05:04:10 AM Router: Transferred 1 messages to SERVER004/DOMAIN via Notes 05/23/2017 05:04:10 AM SMTP Server: Message 0031D206 (…) received 05/23/2017 05:04:10 AM SMTP Server: qwerty321f.domain.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) disconnected. 1 message[s] received

    To my mind, it looks like, on 05/23/2017 05:04:10 AM, the server “qwerty321f” is disconnected. No ? Of course, I suppose that the string xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, in the first and last line, just above, represents the same IPV4 address !

    Cheers,

    guy038

    @Rafael-Lopes-Vivian

    I think part of what is in play here is that UTF-8 is the default encoding for an HTML-5 file.

    The characters that make up a “text” file are code points. A character encoding scheme maps the code points it understands into numbers that are stored in the file.

    UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 are two different character encoding schemes. A file can technically be encoded in one or the other (or some other scheme entirely) but not in both.

    However, when a file contains only code points that are encoded identically by 2 or more encoding schemes, then, unless there is some special meta-data in the file to indicate which encoding scheme is being used, the “proper” scheme is not knowable from the file’s contents.

    UTF-8 is a variable-length encoding (the size of the number each code point is mapped to varies); ISO-8859-1 is a fixed length encoding (the size of the number each code point is mapped to is 1 byte).

    Since ISO-8859-1 represents each code point in a byte, it can only encode 256 code points, the first 256 code points of the Unicode character set. UTF-8 can be used to encode most (if not all) code points of the UNICODE character set.

    Code points 0 - 127 are encoded identically by the UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 schemes. Code points 128 - 255 differ by becoming a 2-byte sequence with UTF-8 whereas they are single bytes with ISO-8859-1.

    So, if an ISO-8859-1 encoded file contains any code point from 128-255, then it will be a different size than a UTF-8 encoded file that contains the same code points.

    @Aleksei-Samov

    not sure if this is a possible solution but
    what if you define a delimiter with

    open=c4d.
    close=,

    and allow nesting with keywords and numbers and additional delimiters if needed?

    Cheers

    @go2to said:
    Several other editors accept direct copy and paste in the replace-with box, be it CR+LF, LF or combination of both. They are probably written in C++. But I think it can be done in any language since CR and LF have the same codes.\r\n\r\nDon is busy now with other issues in 7.4.1. I saw there are problems with replacing again in several open files.\r\n

    It is now one line after deleting CR+LF and adding \r\n. Everything is pasted in the replace box.
    It works flawlessly in the current file, or all open files, or in find in files.
