I had no problem reading the TPL file you linked in Notepad++. However, the image you linked showed a different file name. Did you really upload the same file that you’re trying and failing to read?

Running Notepad++ > ? > Debug Info > Copy debug info into clipboard, and pasting that into your reply, might give us some clue as to what’s going on. For example, my working configuration is:

Notepad++ v7.2 (32-bit) Build time : Nov 2 2016 - 11:26:20 Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe Admin mode : ON Local Conf mode : OFF OS : Windows 7 Plugins : ComparePlugin.dll dbgpPlugin.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExec.dll NppExport.dll NppFTP.dll NppTextFX.dll PluginManager.dll PreviewHTML.dll PythonScript.dll

By the way, when writing/editing a post or reply on the forum, you can get help for Markdown (the formatting engine for this forum) by clicking on the ? next to the word “Compose” in the upper-right corner of the edit box:

This shows that, to embed an image (to show it in the post), you can use the following syntax: 

@Charlie-Murrell

Because you said that this happens with other software as well we have to assume
that this is a general issue. Afaik, beside a nasty virus/malware, those are the only
two areas which would explain your behavior.
So if you only have ONE language defined, which is your native one and you
didn’t reconfigure its original settings I have to assume that the font you use
is broken. Did you check this by using another font?
Menu Settings->Style Configurator.
Which OS and plugins are you using? (can be found in menu ?->DebugInfo)

Hello, vk_Notepad_123,

If I, fully, understand you :

For each block of two lines, below, with an identical IP address nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

Random text1 nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn Random text2
Random text3 nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn Random text4

You would like to obtain, after replacement, the text below :

Random text1 nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn Random text2 Random text4 abcd-efg-ijk

If so, use the following S/R, in regular expression search mode :

SEARCH ^.*((?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}).*\R\K.*\1\h*(.+)

REPLACE \2\r\nabcd-efg-ijk

IMPORTANT : Due to the \K form, you must click, exclusively, on the Replace All button ( DON’T use the step-by-step replacement, with the Replace button )

NOTES :

This regex will work even if Random text1 and/or Random text2 and/or Random text3 does not exist

This regex will work even if no blank character ( space or tabulation ), exists between the IP address and Random text4, in second line

The part ((?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}) looks for four integers, from 1 to 3 digits, separated by the dot symbol. However, consider that this regex does not verify the integrity of the IP address. Indeed, this syntax would match the string 999.999.999.999, which is not, obviously, a valid IP address !

The IP address, preceded and followed by any range, even null, of characters ( .* ) and ended by its EOL characters ( \R ) is, then, forgotten by the regex engine, due to the \K syntax

Now, it tries to match the second line : any range even null, of characters, followed by the SAME IP address, stored as group 1 ( \1 ), followed by possible horizontal blank characters ( \h* )

As the previous syntax (?:\d{1,3}\.){3} defines a non-capturing group, repeated 3 times, the remainder of line 2, Random text4 (.+) ) is, therefore, stored as group2

In the replacement part, this second line is re-written with Random text4 ( \2 ), only, followed by a line break ( \r\n ), and, finally, followed by the simple string abcd-efg-ijk

Hi, kichererbse,

I think that you may perform that specific S/R, simply, in Normal search mode !

Depending on the change of http into https must be run on all the links of your file or, strictly, on the addresses relative to the cdnjs.cloudflare.com site :

Select the searched string http or all the contents between quotes

In replacement, repeat the searched expression, just adding the s letter, after the string http

Best Regards,

Hello, Robert Mundkowsky and Scott,

@scott-sumner

Nevertheless, the Notepad2 editor, for instance, has features for keeping only unique or multiple lines, while doing sort !!

( Select some text, in Notepad2 and hit the ALT + O shorcut to open the sort dialog )

@robert-mundkowsky

Here are, below, two useful links, on how to realize such operations, with the help of the N++ regex and sort features :

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/12490/i-want-to-keep-only-unique-lines/2

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/12569/delete-duplicate-lines/7

The first one gives you two solutions ( WITH or WITHOUT change of the file’s content’s ) to ONLY keep :

All the unique lines

All the duplicate lines

The first item of all the duplicate lines

The second one gives you a method ( WITHOUT change of the natural order of the file’s contents ) to ONLY keep :

All the unique lines AND the last item of all the duplicate lines,

I’m, still, studying these questions, presently ! I’ll, also, try to see if these operations could be easily inserted in macros !

So, see you later, for some updates :-))

Best Regards,

guy038

Yes that can work, in your case!
Change commentExpr to "(?m-s:;(?!\$PATH).*?$)".

@Max-Russell

this setting means that if pressing the tab it jumps to the next tab stop which would
be a multiple of 4 in your case.

E.g pressing tab after “a” jumps to e, after “b” still jumps to e …after “d” jums to i

abcdefghi a e ab e abc e abcd i
