I am looking for a way to "downlight" columns in Notepad++. the COBOL compiler ignores the first 6 columns and all characters starting from column 73 (to column 80, 81+ is ignored anyway). The seventh character has a special meaning (comment,debug, ... ). The 8th to 11th characters have also a special meaning. for code-viewing it is ...
I'm trying to search a document for data on a specific column. I am trying to use: ^.{x}[data to find] where x is the number of columns I want - 1. I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if my regex engine does not support that syntax. I am trying to use Notepad++, if that is helpful. ...
Is there an easy way to manually (ie. not through code) find the size (in bytes, KB, etc) of a block of selected text? Currently I am taking the text, cutting/pasting into a new text document, saving it, then clicking "properties" to get an estimate of the size. I am developing mainly in visual studio 2008 but I need any sort of simple ...
To mitigate some of the headache of working with XML I've been experimenting with PXSL, an abbreviated syntax for any XML document with advanced macro capabilities. However, since it's so new, I haven't been able to find any text editors that know how to parse it for syntax highlighting. Do you know of any editors or plug-ins that would...
I'm using Notepad++ for some projects and miss Visual Studio's CTRL-X, CTRL-C functionality that cuts or copies the entire current line when no text is selected. The cut line shortcut seems to be CTRL-L, which is not as convenient as CTRL-X and the copy shortcut seems to be CTRL-D, CTRL-L, which is even less convenient. Although a simi...
Using a regex, I am able to find a bunch of numbers that I want to replace. However, I want to replace the number with another number that is calculated using the original - captured - number. Is that possible in notepad++ using a kind of expression in the replacement-part? Edit: Maybe a strange thought, but could the calculation be do...
I am thinking of modifying an existing IDE (Ex : By developing a plugin) to provide support for a proprietary scripting language. I just need to implement few features like syntax highlighting, Autocompleting etc. (i.e the requirements are really simple). What would be the best IDE or Text editor to integrate the feature. As an example i...
I am working with Notepad and the FTP plugin. The .htaccess files do not show up in the folder tree of the server. Anyone else encountered this and know of a fix? ...
Hi, So I have this big file of fix length lines. I want to do a find and replace on a character line position. Example: xxxxxxx 010109 xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxx 010309 xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxx 021506 xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxx 041187 xxxxxx xxxxx So in this case I would want to find any value starting on position 13 through positio...
In notepad++ I have set "replace tab with 2 spaces". When coding in python I copy-pasted some code from the web and it appeared indented correctly. But running the code resulted in indentation errors, which I solved in the end by removing all "visible" spaces at line beginnings and inserting the same amount of spaces again. Could it be...
Is HTML Tidy for Notepad++ broken? None of the commands except Tidy (the first one) work. They don't show any message, even with all text selected. I really need Tidy to work, or is it just a limitation of the newest version of N++, or lack of support? Also, the custom syntax dialog freezes whenever I select a color from the color dialo...
I use Notepad++ and Aptana for editing my CakePHP code? Is there any way to get basic html syntax highlighting for CakePHP's .ctp template files? It's a lot harder for me without any coloring going on. Any ideas? ...
I'm trying to get notepad++ to regex find all instances of "abc" and "def" in the following sentence: The abc went to the def. None of the following syntaxes seem to work: abc|def [abc|def] (abc)|(def) (abc|def) NOTE: "[a|d]" matches any instance of "a" or "d" when I tested ...
I like PhpEd because with CTRL-SHIFT-S, it will upload to the test server, so no need to switch to the FTP client, locate the file, and upload it. I also like TextMate because the display is nice (Monaco font is less cramped than Lucida Console and easy to look at than Courier)... and also with a left panel for folder and file listing. ...
i like Notepad++ because it is quick to start up, can support many languages, and it can even match a <div> with the </div> so that you can check when a <div> is matching the correct closing </div>... but it seems like it is missing the feature of having a left side panel of folder and file browsing (and for easy opening). Is that true...
This is probably just a setting I'm not seeing, but when I get a stack trace out of Visual Studio's exception helper dialog, it has \r\n after each "line" in the call stack. When I copy this and paste it into Notepad++, it shows up as literally \r\n, visible in the document. Of course I'd like these to be interpreted as CR LF, so everyth...
I am trying to add simple syntax highlighting and auto completion for a simple scripting language. I added syntax highlighting using this article Now I want to know how to enable auto completion with Notepad ++ for my custom language. Does anyone know how to do that? ...
I'm cleaning up some code files (c#) and want to remove the regions. And what I would like to do is delete all the lines that have the string '#region'. That's just an example, I can think of several more uses, but is that even possible? ...

I'm looking for just a compiler for C++ (such as g++) for Windows, that I could run in my cmd. I'm using notepad++ as my text editor and I want to set up a macro in there that can compile my programs for me. I do not wish to install Cygwin though. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance :) ...
