Disable "are you sure you want to replace all occurences in" message

Guide Rencontre

Hi there,
I work with a lot of .xml files and need to change data on them.
For that, I’m using find in files Notepad function, but each time I need to check “are you sure you want to replace all occurences in …” which is very annoying when you have 100 files to do…
Is it possible to disable this safety message ?
Maybe saving my data change in a macro, and changing some parameters ?
Best Regards,
GR

Afaik, no.

which is very annoying when you have 100 files to do…

But you only have to acknowledge it once for all files, haven’t you?

Ouch ! That’s a bad news…

I have something like 20 modifications to do for each files…
So even if I save it in a macro, I have 20 times…

Stranges facts :

if I save in a macro one action of find in files, the message doesn’t show up
if I save find in files using regex, it works only for the current file open and not for other…

wait, so you are saying you record a macro and you were able to record the click to confirm?
I tried that some time ago (maybe some long time ago) and it wasn’t working.

I will give it a try.

Cheers

Strange - I don’t have that behavior using npp 7.3.2.
I’m still getting the dialog to confirm the replace action, regardless
if using normal or regex searches and when using regex searches all files get replaced.

Can you provide your debug-info (under ? menu) together with a sample
text and sample find/replace?

Cheers

@Claudia-Frank You’re right, my mistake…
If anyone has a solution to disable this safety message…
