In fact whatever is matched with "(?=\S)­­" wouldn't be in the match at all (i.e. for "return blah;}abc" the match would be "return blah;}" - without "a").</p> <p>Nice regular expression reference is here:<br /> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp" rel="nofollow">https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp</a> </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/651#post-2373 Thu, 27 Aug 2009 23:42:10 +0000 fedoracore 2373@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>okay. i want to help, so i'll try to open an issue on this soon. coincidentally, i am about to try a regex operation, and i've selected ProsNpad for the job.

As somewhat a follower of ProsNpad &amp; its RegEx Find and Replace functionality, I noticed in recent changelog reports that the RegEx has been updated. I thought it might be of help to report my experience while using Replace with regular expressions attempting to dissect some of what's going on in the <em>YUI</em>(1) JavaScript library component, yahoo-dom-event.js</p> <p>Most of the time, everything works great (e.g. i often turn to ProsNpad for regular expression operations. for curiosity, i've done some amount of testing for differences between PN, other Scintilla-based editors, .NET-based editors, etc.), and I've been successful with it in some instances where i experienced difficulty with other editors (i.e. it's amazing the variance between different "flavors", as implemented in editors [to quote the Regex Buddy author's texts])</p> <p>One of the several expressions I've used, is shown below-- it's one of a few which caused the unexpected result:<br /> Match Expression:<br /> <code>(return[ \S]+;)(})(?=\S)­­</code><br /> Replace Expression:<br /> <code>\n\1\n\2\n\3</code><br /> The unexpected result follows:<br /> <strong><em>Before</em>:</strong><br /> <pre><code>if(this.__yui_events){ if(this.__yui_events[A]){ return true;}} return false;}};(function(){</code></pre> <p><strong><em>After</em>:</strong><br /> <pre><code>if(this.__yui_events){ if(this.__yui_events[A]){ return true; } \\} return false;}};(function(){</code></pre> <p>Programmer's Notepad had previously executed a Replacement Expression successfully on 650+ items in that same file, just as i wanted without error. However, when I first opened the file, i <em>was</em> seeing this error. I enabled (tested), then disabled the "Allow Backslash Expression" option at that time, which seemed to "fix" the error, but that old-trick didn't work this time. ;-) </p> <p>Looking through the code, it must have "went away" for the bulk of my work, i think until trying this particular expression which, btw-- i realized, even if successful, wasn't <em>quite</em> what i was going for-- but, you know-- win some lose some, eh? (a lot of fooling around w/ regex, really-- guess i enjoy wasting time... i dunno) heheh... anyway-- </p> <p>I suspect, if i exit the app, and restart it-- i'll probably have more success-- so, this isn't a complaint, but just an FYI.</p> <p>best regards!<br /> -js</p> <p>EDIT: geez... i hope i edited that code correctly, to reflect what's going on. note the double-reverse-solidus character which appeared (the unexpected result) in the "After" shot. <em>NOTE:</em> -- here, it doesn't appear as PNpad has removed any chars, which was the plan, however-- as i mentioned, when i first started, and i saw these reverse-solidus chars, it was removing, for example, instead of returning \1, it removed it, and went on w/ the rest of the expression. damn-- too bad it's so difficult to try to explain in a few short sentences, and many long sentences doesn't help much, i guess. oh well!

You might look at using SWIG to generate Java interfaces:</p> <p><a href="http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/Java.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/Java.html</a> </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/487#post-1716 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 10:33:41 +0000 oh 1716@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Dear PN Team -</p> <p>Thank you for a wonderful tool.</p> <p>Are there any plans for a Java extension to Programmers Notepad, like PyPN?</p> <p>For the moment I use Project Tools and Global Tools to integrate my Java programs into Programmers Notepad (I send the selected text to Java using Standard Input, and I capture the output, replacing the original selection).</p> <p>But this method results in frequent crashes of PN.</p> <p>I am not very good with Python, and know nothing about C (or what language PN is programmed in). A java extension would mean a way for me to contribute useful scripts (spell checking, regex search &#38; replace in folders, replacement expressions etc.). </p> <p>Thanks again for the tool. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/269#post-961 Wed, 08 Aug 2007 09:33:42 +0000 macdonag 961@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>2 things:</p> <p>It would be nice if you could change tabs in the find dialog as you would with the editor - e.g., ctrl-tab &#38; ctrl-shift-tab to flip between find, replace, find in files.</p> <p>Also, it seems if I switch editor tabs using ctrl-tab, my entire screen seems to do a refresh. If I change tabs by clicking on the tab with my mouse, the full screen refresh doesn't occur. The switch is much smoother. Odd! </p>
