Hello Juan,

could it be that the xml is layout more like

<App action='A' id='1378'> <BaseVehicle id='128520'/> <SubModel id='3043'/> <EngineBase id='2133'/> <Qty>1</Qty> <PartType id='6708'/> <Part>G600096</Part> </App> <App action='A' id='1379'> <BaseVehicle id='128520'/> <SubModel id='296'/> <EngineBase id='2133'/> <Qty>1</Qty> <PartType id='6708'/> <Part>G600096</Part> <Note>W/O TOC ATTACHED<Note/> </App>

if so, I didn’t take care that Note node may start with spaces in front.
The find regex needs to be changed like

(.*Qty>1<\/Qty>)\R(.*)\R(.*)\R(.*Note>.*\/>)

Cheers
Claudia
P.S. I tried to modify guy038’s regex but didn’t get it done :-(
but I learned and replace \r\n with \R :-)

Hi Claudia,

No, It’s not related to the complexity of the regex ! It’s just that the step-by-step replace doesn’t work at all, as soon as the search regex contains, at least, one \K form :-(( Though I don’t know exactly why !?

Consider the subject string below :

abc abcdef abcdefghi abcdefghidefjkl

With the simple S/R SEARCH abc\Kdef and REPLACE 123, if I click on the Replace All button, we get the right text :

abc abc123 abc123ghi abc123ghidefjkl

Note that the second string def has not been changed, because it wasn’t just after an abc string. That’s correct !

On the contrary, if I click, several times on the Replace button, nothing has changed !!!

Cheers,

guy038

P.S.:

I’ve just realized that the bug exists too, if we use a look-behind, instead of the \K form !

So, the S/R SEARCH (?<=abc)def and REPLACE 123 does the job, if you click on the Replace All button, ONLY !

Remember that, due to the look-behind feature, this regex tries to match a def string, only if preceded by the string abc

3 views is not possible. Only 2.

Hello Greg,

may I ask you which version of npp you are using as this issue
should have been solved already. Some 5.8… version if I remember correctly.
In the meantime I edited hosts file on a windows7 x64 pc with npp 6.8.7
and do not have the problem you described.

Cheers
Claudia

I’m afraid, no - it was requested as a feature but developer never implemented it.
The only shortcuts you can defined are

to show NppFTP window to focus NppFTP window to call about NppFTP

Not very helpful if you want one for uploading.

Cheers
Claudia

THANK YOU SO MUCH THAT WORKED GREAT!

Thanks!

Hello Lisa-Cagle,

it could be that you either

have no write permission to the destination folder (did you use administrator account for installation?) or that there is already a file with the same name which has read-only flag set, so it can’t be overwritten.
(if the file already exists, right click ->properties)
Which OS do you use?

Cheers
Claudia

Claudia: Your solution works perfectly. Thanks so much!

Hmm you wrote it like I would come from different planet.
I’m not sure I described it well in my engrish :)

But I’m sure it’s worth to build in. As I said for me as beginner, is pain in somewhere to make Atom work. It’s difficult to set it and know all available packages for my needs. It’s like every new package for every issue you want inside. It’s a lot of work to set it and also I’m not sure how overwrite basic-core key bindings and how manage conflicts of newcome key bindings coming with newly installed packages. But no more about Atom. My hero is Notepad++, I really want to stuck with it, but if me - a beginner has problems with it, I’m surprised others don’t.
I just hope, this project won’t end like Sublime text ended or Lighttable too. Please developers listen to audience needs. Don’t let it die because of obsolete and not changing forward.

Thanks

Thanks for help =)

Hello jgjake2,

you can’t blame npp for this rather your mouse properties settings.
Check Pointer Options -> Snap to
I assume this has been enabled(checked).

Cheers
Claudia

You guys got my point although I didn’t make it clear enough. It’s a pity that npp could not get an environmental variable.
Just let you know my demand better and my solution in R:

library(R.utils)
user <- System$getUsername()
directory <- paste(“C:\\Users\\”, user, “\\workspace”, sep=“”)
setwd(directory)

With the above code, I could set the working directory correctly regardless of which computer I use, so it’s easy for me to switch different computers.

I’m just a beginner of Python, however, I will learn your script @Claudia-Frank .
Thank you all!@XP1 @Claudia-Frank

thanks for the answer

Hello Jim-Robson,

I assume you are creating webpages with html and php
and WYSIWYG refers to updated webpages which should be
displayed automatically, correct?

If so, no this doesn’t work that way. You need to edit the pages in npp
and run (F5) it with your preferred browser. As you use php in addition,
you need to have some web server instance running.

In F5 dialog you can put in something like

DRIVE:\YOUR_INSTALL_DIRECTORY\YOUR_BROWSER.exe http://localhost/$(FILE_NAME)

DRIVE might be replaced with C, D, etc.
YOUR_INSTALL_DIRECTORY is, of course the directory where your browser is installed
YOUR_BROWSER.exe something like Firefox.exe etc.

$(FILE_NAME) needs not to be replaces, it refers to the open active document but
http://localhost/ may be, depending whether you store everything in web server root directory.

In addition there is a nppExec plugin which does the same as F5 RUN function but with more
functionality.

Cheers
Claudia
