I'm wondering if this is somehow by design or was hard to implement or simply missed out. I do this:</p> <ol> <li>Select some text with ALT (rectangular).</li> <li>Push CTRL+R (replace).</li> <li>Change e.g. "pn" to "pnote"</li> <li>Hit Replace All</li> </ol> <p>Then all occurrences in between the first selection start and last selection start are replaced. Not sure if this is clear.</p> <p>Before (bolded selection):<br /> <strong>pn.</strong>Something("pnotes", "pn2")<br /> <strong>sct</strong>.Blah("pn", "blah")<br /> <strong>pn.</strong>SomethingElse("blah", "pn")</p> <p>After:<br /> pnote.Something("pnoteotes", "pnote2")<br /> sct.Blah("pnote", "blah")<br /> pnote.SomethingElse("blah", "pn")</p> <p>So a bug or expected? </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5122#post-7518 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 19:50:44 +0000 jumpfroggy 7518@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I know PN doesn't yet support Search &amp; Replace within files, but I need to do this. Does anyone have suggestions for a good search &amp; replace utility to complement PN?</p> <p>What I'm looking for:<br /> -Regex support.<br /> -Ability to see results before performing replace, like PN's "results" window.<br /> -Free.</p> <p>I know I can do a google search, but there are tons that come up. I'd love to hear what other people use and how it's worked for them.

Then try to search and replace "company" to "client" (one by one with the search button). after the first replace of lowercase option the window return to "Company" and "Client". </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/651#post-2360 Sun, 23 Aug 2009 11:19:04 +0000 fedoracore 2360@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hi. 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!

The Mark All button highlights all occurrences of the search term to be hightlighted, but this highlighting is barely visible on a dark background theme. Is there a way to change the highlighting color?</p> <p>2. Is there a way to unmark all marked items? (As a workaround, I can search for and mark a different sequence.)</p> <p>3. When replacing all, is there a way to make it stop at the end of the document, not continue from the top?</p> <p>Then I have a feature request related to this:</p> <p>If one just did a Replace, I would like F3 to repeat the replace, instead of just repeating the find. Or have a command and keypress that repeats the replace operation. For example, in the Borland Delphi 7 IDE one can start a replace operation and replace one or more occurrences, then close the dialog, move the cursor around, type, etc, then press Ctrl+L to do another replace operation without going back to the dialog. If the last thing was a find operation, then Ctrl+L repeats that instead.</p> <p>I will also try to add this request in Google Code. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/497#post-1746 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 14:17:02 +0000 Operaatoors 1746@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I have one small question:</p> <p>When i click find, then replace, i enter some symbols, which i want to replace. But how i can replace it with "Enter" space ? </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/99#post-350 Wed, 23 Aug 2006 18:55:25 +0000 duke1995 350@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>First of all : thank you for this great editor :-)</p> <p>Here are some features that might be handy : </p> <p>1) Code folding options as in Notepad++</p> <p>In Notepad++ you have the following possibilities : </p> <p>Collapse the current level<br /> Uncollapse the current level<br /> Collapse the level ... X<br /> Uncollapse the level ... X</p> <p>Very handy :-)</p> <p>2) Find and replace as in EditPlus</p> <p>In EditPlus you can do a Find and Replace by entering text in text areas instead of text boxes. This allows you to find text including linebreaks and tabs.</p> <p>This often is easier than working with regular expressions to match linebreaks and tabs.</p> <p>3) Tab size</p> <p>Haven't found an editor which allows you to switch between tab sizes easily (without the need to open up the options/preferences dialog to go and change the tab size value).<br /> It would be nice to have the possibility to switch between tab sizes more quickly, e.g. via a dropdown in the toolbar.</p> <p>This really is a great editor ! I wouldn't take the time to request these features if I wasn't sure I would continue to use Programmer's Notepad for a long time to come :-) Thanks a lot ! </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/71#post-264 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 02:48:50 +0000 Kyote 264@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>How do I search for consecutive new lines? used to I could could do \n\n to find blank lines in a text file and then replace with \n but now it gives me a warnign saying specified text not found. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/144#post-542 Mon, 04 Dec 2006 11:52:01 +0000 pentascape 542@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>When running Find and Replace, if you have text already highlighted it will copy into the 'find' field automatically.<br /> This happened to me as per normal except I happened to have an unusualy large amount of text already highlighted.<br /> The find and replace box partially opened and the computer crashed with a memory dump message.<br /> Perhaps dev team could include a condition for the highlighted text which prevents it from auto copying if its too big?

So, can anyone running PN2 on Vista either confirm or deny this?</p> <p>P.S.: For a forum the new topic post textarea is remarkably small... </p>
