The current problems are caused because the UI is running in Windows-1252 (or whatever your default non-unicode locale is) and the edit control is running (probably) in UTF-8. PN is not converting the text between the find page and the edit control, resulting in the replacements not working.</p> <p>More problematic is that very few regular expressions engines work well with unicode characters requiring multiple code units, meaning support here may always be weak. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/442#post-1706 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:43:22 +0000 simon 1706@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I have seen at least one case of TortoiseHg causing PyPN to fail. I think they use a non-standard build of python and because it's always loaded (the shell extension gets loaded into the PN process) we end up seeing their version of the dll. I haven't found a way to resolve this yet.</p> <p>Also: Yes, I'm looking into mail notification. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/442#post-1705 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:23:44 +0000 rc-flitzer 1705@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>... sorry for the late answer. It seems that this forum needs an e-mail notification for I can't check all my used forums every day for new answers. :(</p> <p>To your checking questions:<br /> 1. I have installed Python in "D:\Sprachen\Python25", so it's not a standard path, but all are ascii chars.<br /> 2. I will test Python 2.6 ...<br /> 3. Hm there's at one in c:\windows\system32, which is the first to be found in PATH. There's another one used by TortoiseHg (version control system), the folder is also in PATH but after the system folder. I'll check this. [...] no, removing the folder from PATH didn't help. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/450#post-1704 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:14:02 +0000 rc-flitzer 1704@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Sorry for the late answer. :(</p> <p>No, this forum does not per se display question marks. It's a wrong default encoding for this website. If you're using Firefox, select Menu -&gt; View -&gt; Encoding, then choose ISO 8859-15. I know, German umlauts are part of 8859-15, but when I posted it, the webpage was displayed in UTF-8, so it should be working also for sending characters in the same encoding ... Seems a bit tricky here.</p> <p>Back to topic:<br /> I should have to replace TWO characters? That's ridiculous. A non ascii character is still ONE character. It only needs two bytes to store it, but the editor should abstract from the used encoding and let me replace ONE character. Also it is ONE key that I'm pressing to create the character - you see it makes no sense if the user should use two chars for some cases. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/442#post-1677 Sun, 26 Oct 2008 21:28:01 +0000 simon 1677@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Also, are there any extra copies of Python25.dll on your system, or only the main installed one? </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/442#post-1676 Sun, 26 Oct 2008 21:05:21 +0000 simon 1676@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hi, sorry to hear it's still not working :(</p> <p>I just had a look at the dump file and the failure is happening just after we initialize python (the very first time I try to do something with it).</p> <p>Could you please let me know the following:</p> <p>1. Path that you have installed python in?</p> <p>It may be that if you have installed python in somewhere other than the default location (e.g. a path with spaces, or unicode characters) that this might be causing problems.</p> <p>2.

Personally I usually use ".." to match a special character.</p> <p>If you want to get the codes for the replacement - select the character and press CTRL+R - characters that you will see is the code you are looking for (e.g. you will get '??' for 'ü'). Just put it in the 'Replace with' and you should be fine.</p> <p>My guess is that replace works on bytes rather then characters.</p> <p>EDIT: Obviously you will not get question marks - this forum is displaying those chars as question marks. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/450#post-1650 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:37:56 +0000 rc-flitzer 1650@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Alt-0128 won't work either because it's the same thing as pressing AltGr+E (on german keyboards). It only works with copy/paste for a Euro sign written somewhere else.</p> <p>A similar thing happens in UTF-8-files when search/replace with symbols that are not ASCII. I wanted to replace some LaTeX-encodings into unicode letters, e.g. \"u into ü. Won't work. As a result I only get a black square with inside "FC" written which is the ANSI code for ü but not the unicode... so I'm hoping that the "advenced regex support" will also support correct text replacing in unicoded files. :) </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/450#post-1635 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 19:19:01 +0000 Eidetic 1635@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>you can also use alt-0128 in the meantime, which is at least faster than copying and pasting. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/450#post-1627 Sat, 13 Sep 2008 08:51:11 +0000 simon 1627@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>A unicode version is next on the priority list after the release I'm currently working on - I decided that the advanced regex support was the first thing to get right. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/450#post-1605 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 12:54:44 +0000 rc-flitzer 1605@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Seems that unicode input doesn't work in PNotepad which is a pity. I'm using it not only for programming but for writing documents in LaTeX. And sometimes there's a Unicode symbol I need to write like € or others.</p> <p>Comparing the Unicode numbers for ¬ und €:<br /> ¬ = 0x00AC<br /> € = 0x20AC<br /> So only the least significant byte will be accepted by PNotepad, but it still works with copy/pasting text. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/442#post-1604 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 12:44:29 +0000 rc-flitzer 1604@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hello!<br /> Any success yet?

I think it's a matter of unicode key character input but I'll need to look into it a bit more. For reference on my keyboard AltGr-E doesn't do it and I have to type Alt-0128.

But it's not that easy to convert from one encoding to another. Maybe I'm doing wrong, but here are my procedures.</p> <p>ANSI to UTF-8:<br /> Open textfile, recognized correctly as ANSI. Then I copy/cut the entire file (so it is empty) and set File-&gt;Encoding-&gt;UTF-8. I paste back the file content, save it and it is converted to UTF-8. :) Not that easy but ok.</p> <p>UTF-8 to ANSI:<br /> This is way more complicated. I open the file, recognized as UTF-8. Copy/cut the entire file, set File-&gt;Encoding-&gt;8-Bit. Paste back the file content, save it, BUT: it is still UTF-8 encoded. :(<br /> The way it works: copy/cut entire file content, set File-&gt;Encoding-&gt;8-Bit. Then save and CLOSE. Reopen the file, paste back the file content, again save. Then it is stored as an ANSI encoded file.</p> <p>Why has the conversion be so complicated? Maybe the option File-&gt;Encoding does not convert but interpret the file new, is this correct? But how should I easily convert a textfile to another encoding? I have a proposal: maybe you can add an "Encoding" setting in the "Save as..." window. The user won't have to copy/cut/repaste, it's just that the file content is stored with another encoding. I know that it works because with the complex way (described above) it is at least possible, but not comfortable...</p> <p>Thanks for reading,<br /> rc </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/442#post-1557 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 15:44:04 +0000 rc-flitzer 1557@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hello!<br /> Because it is my first posting here, I'd like to thank the programmer for developing such a useful editor. It's one of the best I've ever seen because it has all the small little features which I miss in all other editors. It's not overcrowded, yet has many options. Thanks a lot and keep working on it! :)</p> <p>So now to my question. I'm using PN 2.0.9.806-devel because this version has correct handling of Home/End keys and of UTF-8 encoded files. While looking around in this forum I discovered PyPn as a wonderful method of extending editor functions with Scripts (I'd like to try auto indent scripts). But unfortunately it won't work in my editor.<br /> The use of PyPn 0.9.794 for Python 2.5 crashes PN so it won't start up. Using 0.8.717 doesn't crash but I don't have any scripts visible in script list (Alt-F10). Maybe it's working though and I just have no scripts (but there are some in scripts folder)...?</p> <p>Using stable version of PN (2.0.7.?) won't work with PyPN 0.8 (crashing at startup) but doesn't show any scripts when using PyPN 0.9. It's the same problem, only the other way round compared with PN 2.0.9.806...</p> <p>Which combination of PN and PyPN should I use? I'm using WinXP SP2 and Python 2.5.2. Other Python tools run properly.</p> <p>Thanks for help,<br /> rc </p>
