@Claudia-Frank

I am teaching a course on teaching students how to create Web pages and sites using Notepad++. We need to have a final exam/project at the completion of the course.

Bless you Claudia - you’ve made an old man very happy.

Hi,

That worked like a charm, thank you very much!

Local in regars to the npp installation does mean configuration data, plugins and notepad.exe in one directory.
So has nothing to do with your non-admin profile.

I’ve asked the question because I wasn’t sure if your problem is solved or not.

Cheers
Claudia

Hello @pranami-desai,

it is nearly impossible to answer this question as we don’t know what the users or adminsitrators did.
It might be related to plugins, quotas, concurrent access etc…
Espescially in terminal service environments you should have enough additional informations
to see what has caused the issue.

Cheers
Claudia

Hi Justin,

Firstly, I downloaded the entire contents of your .yaml file ( 5175 lines )

Secondly, I isolated the Presets section ( 4925 lines )

Thirdly, I understood that your special characters belongs :

At the Miscellaneous symbols Unicode script, in the range [\x{2600}-\x{26FF}] ( See http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2600.pdf )

At the Dingbats Unicode script, in the range [\x{2700}-\x{27BF}] ( See http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2700.pdf )

Fourthly, I only, extracted the lines which contain one of these special Unicode characters. I got a list of 51 items, below :

- - '✥ --- dscan: ships' - - '★ friendly: logistic' - - '♞ hostile: carriers' - - '★ friendly: dreads' - - '♞ hostile: battlecruisers' - - '♞ hostile: antibombers (!)' - - '♣ pve: salvage/loot' - - '★ friendly: capitals' - - '♞ hostile: fighters/fibos' - - '♞ hostile: dictors' - - ❏ hostile brackets - - '★ friendly: fleet' - - '♞ wartargets only' - - '★ friendly: sc/t' - - '♞ --- normal pvp' - - '✥ dscan: pos all mods' - - '♞ hostile: cruisers' - - '♣ pve: mining' - - '♞ hostile: logistics' - - ❏ no brackets - - ❏ skirmish brackets - - '✪ extra: podsaver (!)' - - '♞ hostile: cmd dest' - - '★ friendly: recons' - - '♞ hostile: drones' - - '✈ travel: show all' - - '♞ hostile: dreads' - - '♞ hostile: titans' - - '♞ structures' - - '♞ hostile: frig/dest' - - '♞ hostile: supers/titans' - - '♞ deployables' - - '♞ hostile: recons' - - '✈ travel: hide stations' - - '♣ pve: anoms/ratting' - - '♞ hostile: supercarriers' - - '♞ bombing warpouts' - - '♣ pve: show drones' - - '★ friendly: dictors' - - '★ --- friendly: all' - - '✈ --- basic travel' - - '♞ hostile: caps' - - ♣ --- basic pve - - ❏ default brackets - - '♞ npsi' - - '♞ hostile: cs/t3' - - '♞ hostile: battleships' - - '✥ dscan: pos' - - '♞ - ships only' - - '★ friendly: carriers' - - '✪ extra: align points'

Finally, I performed a classical sort ( Menu Edit - Line Operations - Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending ) and I got the list below :

- - '★ --- friendly: all' - - '★ friendly: fleet' - - '★ friendly: capitals' - - '★ friendly: carriers' - - '★ friendly: dictors' - - '★ friendly: dreads' - - '★ friendly: logistic' - - '★ friendly: recons' - - '★ friendly: sc/t' - - '♞ --- normal pvp' - - '♞ - ships only' - - '♞ bombing warpouts' - - '♞ deployables' - - '♞ npsi' - - '♞ structures' - - '♞ wartargets only' - - '♞ hostile: antibombers (!)' - - '♞ hostile: battlecruisers' - - '♞ hostile: battleships' - - '♞ hostile: caps' - - '♞ hostile: carriers' - - '♞ hostile: cmd dest' - - '♞ hostile: cruisers' - - '♞ hostile: cs/t3' - - '♞ hostile: dictors' - - '♞ hostile: dreads' - - '♞ hostile: drones' - - '♞ hostile: fighters/fibos' - - '♞ hostile: frig/dest' - - '♞ hostile: logistics' - - '♞ hostile: recons' - - '♞ hostile: supercarriers' - - '♞ hostile: supers/titans' - - '♞ hostile: titans' - - '♣ pve: anoms/ratting' - - '♣ pve: mining' - - '♣ pve: salvage/loot' - - '♣ pve: show drones' - - '✈ --- basic travel' - - '✈ travel: hide stations' - - '✈ travel: show all' - - '✥ --- dscan: ships' - - '✥ dscan: pos all mods' - - '✥ dscan: pos' - - '✪ extra: align points' - - '✪ extra: podsaver (!)' - - ♣ --- basic pve - - ❏ default brackets - - ❏ hostile brackets - - ❏ no brackets - - ❏ skirmish brackets

Notes :

You’ll notice that most of these “header” lines begin with the string - - '

Only five lines, which have a special character, instead of the single quote, are, of course, moved at the end of the sorted list.

And, generally speaking, all these special Unicode characters are sorted, according to their Unicode number ( 2605 for the Black Star, 265E for the Black Chess Knight, and so on… )

So, If you agree, with that specific sort ( May be, at the end, you’ll have to move one or few blocks to an other place ! ) I’ll give you, next time, the complete method to get the sorted list of these “header” lines with ( the most important ! ) all their contents unchanged :-))

you can save your file as a python source file (simply by changing the extention to .py)
then you can handle your folding by **indenting **lines using **tab character **

Hi, Claudia,

Concerning your last question, it’s just because I directly modified a N++ configuration file ( config.xml ).

But, you’re right ! I could just have used the Edit - Control Panel ( or the method : ALT + 0nn on numeric keypad ) to write these Control characters, first, in the normal text window and, secondly, use CTRL + C/V to copy them into the Settings - Preferences… - Delimiter section :-)

Best Regards,

Hello Claudia,

Great.
Many thanks again. I do appreciate it.

Best regards.

Oh, I didn’t try compiling within the developer command prompt. Now it works. On to the next step. Hope the rest goes to plan :)

Thank you for the help on this matter.
