As somewhat a follower of ProsNpad & 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 YUI(1) JavaScript library component, yahoo-dom-event.js 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]) One of the several expressions I've used, is shown below-- it's one of a few which caused the unexpected result: Match Expression: <code>(return[ \S]+;)(})(?=\S)</code> Replace Expression: <code>\n\1\n\2\n\3</code> The unexpected result follows: Before: <pre><code>if(this.__yui_events){ if(this.__yui_events[A]){ return true;}} return false;}};(function(){</code></pre> After: <pre><code>if(this.__yui_events){ if(this.__yui_events[A]){ return true; } \\} return false;}};(function(){</code></pre> 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 was 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. ;-) 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 quite 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-- 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. best regards! -js 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. NOTE: -- 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! 'least i've tried, eh? :-) (1) sourceforge . net / projects / yui / Feature request: Text search in output window (Platon) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/621#post-2227 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:26:44 +0000 Platon 2227@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ I'm using some tools that produce thounds of lines of output. It would be convenient to be able to run a text search in the output windows too like searching document windows. TextPad nicely supports this feature.

Thanks for your help.. Find Results window (alex_stefan54) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/508#post-1775 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 20:37:13 +0000 alex_stefan54 1775@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ I cannot see Find Results window anymore, although it used to work. "View"-> "Window"-> "Find Results" check doesn't help. The bottom text bar gives a summary of the search but I need a window with details. Any suggestion? Thanks Java Extension (oh) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/487#post-1716 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 10:33:41 +0000 oh 1716@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ Dear PN Team - Thank you for a wonderful tool. Are there any plans for a Java extension to Programmers Notepad, like PyPN? 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). But this method results in frequent crashes of PN. 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 & replace in folders, replacement expressions etc.). Thanks again for the tool. Find dialog & Tabbing in general (macdonag) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/269#post-961 Wed, 08 Aug 2007 09:33:42 +0000 macdonag 961@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ 2 things: It would be nice if you could change tabs in the find dialog as you would with the editor - e.g., ctrl-tab & ctrl-shift-tab to flip between find, replace, find in files. 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!
