Thank you for your prompt response.

I sent an email with all information including a video by email.

I would like to add only that the “problem” when using the
– file “C:\Program Files\EmEditor\EmEditor.exe” and
– not using the file C:\Program Files\EmEditor\emedtray.exe
occurs.

Thanks in advance.

[tuska]

I’ve checked that again now (2 tabs):

The “problem” occurs in the 64 bit version (installed), and only with the first program start,
when I use EmEditor

– with a shortcut on the desktop –> “C:\Program Files\EmEditor\EmEditor.exe” or
– with a button in file manager “Total Commander” –> command: “C:\Program Files\EmEditor\EmEditor.exe”

If I move EmEditor to the systray with ESC and then open it with a double click,
there is only 1 tab page left.

This “problem” does not exist in the portable 64 bit version.

If you still need the information about Customize Workspace, I can deliver it later.

Is it possible to integrate a .png image file here directly (25,2 KB) or only via an external website (image hoster)?
(I think I have seen a picture here directly in the forum … but I don’t know how to set it up)

[… … or when opening a text file created with the 64 bit version with the 32 bit version and vice versa …]

Sorry, I meant
bookmarks are also lost when opening a text file created with the 64 bit version with the 32 bit version and vice versa.

[tuska]

Outside of EmEditor the bookmarks are currently lost,
when I copy, move or rename a file.
[… … or when opening a text file created with the 64 bit version with the 32 bit version and vice versa …]

Hello,
thank you for your quick reply.

Here are my settings:

☑ Save Cursor Position and Bookmarks
Number of Days to Save: 3000
☑ Never Clear Bookmarks

2. If the name of a file was renamed outside of EmEditor, EmEditor will not be able to see the changes.

Thank you for that information, I didn’t know that.

1. I am not sure if I understand your question. Copy a file from which folder to which folder?
Can you please write a simple step-by-step to reproduce the issue?

Here is a simple example, created with the 64 bit installed version:

1. create the file Bookmarks.txt in D:\Data
2. enter a few lines, e.g. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and create a bookmark in every second line
3. save and close the file
4. Copy the file D:\Data\Bookmarks.txt to I:\Data\Bookmarks.txt.
5. when I open the file I:\Data\Bookmarks.txt, the bookmarks no longer exist.

Currently I only have the possibility to use the function “Save As… F12”,
to keep the bookmarks.

[tuska]

Thank you very much for checking and implementation!

Personally I will mainly use the button “All Marks” in the future,
as it meets my requirements best.

Regards,
Karl

[tuska]

With reference to what has been said before, it would be desirable,
– if you could deactivate or activate the following selected menu items with the “Marks” button
– taking into account 2 exceptions

Example:
☑ Newline Characters
☑ End of File
☑ Tabs
☑ Spaces
☑ Wide Spaces
☑ CR and LF with Different Marks –> PLEASE LEAVE UNCHANGED! (e.g. unticked) analogous to the behavior of the menu item “All Marks”
☑ Control Characters
☑ Indent Guides
☑ User-Defined Guides –> PLEASE LEAVE UNCHANGED! (e.g. ticked) – this is currently the case! ***)

————-

***) Menu “View” – “Marks” – ” All Marks” –> The tick is REMOVED: “User-Defined Guides”

Here, too, I would plead for the point “User-Defined Guides” to be left unchanged
because there is a separate menu item for this purpose anyway: “Add/Remove User-Defined Guide”.
[and I personally regard the line as a hint for a “line break”].

————-

Please therefore ask for examination.
Thank you!

[tuska]

Thanks for the implementation!

I noticed the following:
– Right click on buttonbar – Customise This Toolbar…
– Available button: “Marks” –>

When I press the “Marks” button, the “Spaces” are not displayed,
other characters, e.g. “Newline Characters”, “End of File” and “Tabs” are shown.

Can you please check and add “Spaces” to that?

[tuska]

Or is this requirement is reasonable?

For me it is.

[tuska]

I would just like to add the following:

It is used
1. EmEditor – installed – english language
   C:\Program Files\EmEditor\EmEditor.exe
2. EmEditor – portable – german language (german = deutsch)
   D:\Daten\Programme\TotalCommander\TCD_USB-Stick\TC32-64USB\Tools\EmEditor-portabel\EmEditorProfessional_64-bit_portabel\EmEditor.exe

Otherwise, all settings are the same.

By chance I found the answer to point 1. myself:
Menu “Tools” > “Properties for All Configurations” – “Outline”…
Here you have to create the entries for the outline points under “Find”, e.g.
< = Level 1
[ = Level 2
{ = Level 3
& = Level 4
* = Level 5

If necessary, in the menu “Tools” > “Properties for Current Configuration Alt+ENTER” in the relevant document
still require an adjustment.

For point 2. I tried Google with the following query: Outline site:https://www.emeditor.com
and found a suitable answer for me under point 1.:
Solution: https://www.emeditor.com/forums/topic/how-to-customize-the-outline-plugin/
Each level ends when it find the same level begin.

Please consider my request as closed.

On the basis of further tests this can be clarified as follows:
The error seems to occur randomly with the installed version.

When the portable version opens a text file created with the installed version,
then the coloring is not visible in the bookmarks (in the active portable version).

[tuska]

Hello,
Several other tests have shown the following:

Installed version active:
1. Open “Bookmarked_colored_with installed version created.txt”: OK
2. Open “Bookmarked_colored_with installed version created_2.txt”: OK
3. Open “Bookmarked_colored_with installed version created_3.txt”: NOK (not OK)
3a Open “Bookmarked_colored_with installed version created_3a.txt”: OK
3b Open “Bookmarked_colored_with installed version created_3b.txt”: OK
4. Open “Bookmark_colored_created_with portable version.txt”: OK
5. Open “Bookmark_colored_created_with portable version_1.txt”: NOK (not OK)
6. Open “Bookmark_colored_created_with portable version_2.txt”: OK

Portable version active:
1. Open “Bookmarked_colored_with installed version created.txt”: NOK (not OK)
2. Open “Bookmarked_colored_with installed version created_2.txt: NOK (not OK)
3. Open “Bookmarked_colored_with installed version created_3.txt”: NOK (not OK)
4. Open “Bookmark_colored_created_with portable version.txt”: OK
5. Open “Bookmark_colored_created_with portable version_1.txt”: OK
6. Open “Bookmark_colored_created_with portable version_2.txt”: OK

The error seems to be randomly.

[tuska]

Hello,
thanks for your prompt reply.

The problem is that I have saved the same settings for the bookmarks in both the installed and portable version,
but the color is not displayed as stated above.

[tuska]

Thank you for this additional tip!
But I won’t make a suggestion, because the existing functions are sufficient for me.

[tuska]

On a second thought:
Probably only the first line in which the continuous text starts is displayed in multi-line mode.
More is actually not necessary.

[tuska]

Now I have one last question: Button “Extract” in the “Find”-window:
☑ Use Output Bar | Extract Options: Display File Names and Lines

Example:
9
09
2
4
24
42
123
5467
—-
◉ Regular Expressions: (?<![0-9])[24](?![0-9])
Klick on button “Find Next” and then on “Extract” brings “Output”:

“(?<![0-9])[24](?![0-9])” Untitled-3

Untitled-3(4): 2
Untitled-3(5): 4

Test: OK
—-
◉ (None) – ☑ Multiline
Same example: 2 Ctrl+enter, 4 Ctrl+enter
Klick on button “Find Next” and then on “Extract” brings “Output”:

“2
4
” Untitled-3

Untitled-3(4): 2

Untitled-3(5): 4 seems to be missing for me in “Output”-box
—-
◉ Escape Sequence – without Multiline
Same example: 2\n4\n
Klick on button “Find Next” and then on “Extract” brings “Output”:

“2\n4\n” Untitled-3

Untitled-3(4): 2

Untitled-3(5): 4 seems to be missing for me in “Output”-box
—-
With the remaining three options in “Extract Options…” I suspect partially similar combinations,
i.e. only a partial output in the “Output” box.
—-
For me there would be one line missing in the “Output” box in the example above.
Can someone please confirm this or tell me how to understand this constellation?

[tuska]

2LTT
Thank you for the detailed description and clarification of this function!
That’s how I understood this function now.

I just wanted to make a short summary of this function for me as a reminder.
—–
Thanks again to everyone for their support!

[tuska]

2LTT
Thank you very much for your support!

I have read everything from you carefully.
Now everything is working as expected.

For me personally, I have noted the following as a brief summary:
With CTRL + ENTER and option “Multiline” in the “Find”-window, it is possible to search for a cohesive search term over several lines.

Simple formulation for valid examples for CTRL + ENTER:
– Example1: 1,2,3,4,5 –> Search for: 2,3,4 (and not for 2,4) –> DO NOT press CTRL+ENTER after 4!
– Example2: abc def, ghi jkl, mno pqr –> Search for: (1)def (2)ghi jkl (3)mno –> after mno do NOT press CTRL+ENTER anymore!

Regards,
Karl

Many thanks for the comprehensive and detailed information.

That box in Multiline mode is not a “list”, if you thought it was.

Yes, I mistakenly assumed that.

>… are marked in green.
> EmEditor cannot highlight multi-line matches with colors.
> A match will be highlighted with colors unless it’s multi-line.

Yes, that’s why I wrote above:

> Please regard this text as irrelevant.
> That was a misunderstanding on my part.

I think I understand the subject a little better now, but between theory and practice there’s still a gap with me.

Example:
1
2
3
4
5

only matches as a whole:
2
3
4

1. RegEx –> OK
2. Multiple-lines –> ?

Please watch the video:
20190707_13.32.43_Video__1368x836_00.02.24_Multiple-line string as a search string.wmv

What am I doing wrong with “Multiline” or what else is a mistake of mine?

[tuska]

For me, there is currently only one question left unanswered: CTRL+ENTER (in Multi-line mode) – (see previous post):
If I do CTRL + ENTER as in the picture above, I won’t get any results with the following options:
☑ Multiline
◉ (None)
◉ Regular Expressions
◉ Escape Sequence
Is this a bug of EmEditor or an application error of mine?
Are multi-line queries only allowed with the option ◉ Regular Expressions?

[tuska]

Hi Mr KT,
(?<![0-9])[24](?![0-9])
works perfectly!
Thank you very much.

[tuska]

Thank you for your code, which is the solution for my example above.
Your example also finds the number 42 – this should not be found.

I don’t know if there is a solution:
Only 2 and 4 should be found, i.e. exactly:2 and exactly:4.

If there are any combinations in which the numbers 2 and 4 are contained,
such as 1024, 42, 4242, 1524, 2415, 124215, 754224, etc., then the numbers should not be found/marked.

regex101 dot com is also my favorite site because it offers explanations – but I am a complete beginner…

[tuska]

If you want to search for a multi-line string, usually you have to match the exact number of the lines:
Does this mean that I have to go to the end of each text document before searching to determine the exact number of lines?

And note that EmEditor cannot highlight multi-line matches with colors.
Mmmh, with
☑ Multiline
◉ Regular Expressions
(^2$|^4$)
in a .txt file the numbers 2 and 4 are marked in green.

Please regard this text as irrelevant.
That was a misunderstanding on my part.

For me, there are currently only two questions left unanswered:
– CTRL + ENTER (see previous post)
– Exact search for a number with RegEx, e.g. find 2 and 4 in a range from 1,2,3,4,5,24 (see previous post).

[tuska]

2LTT
Thank you very much for your examples with RegEx and efforts to bring the topic closer to me.
Unfortunately, I’m afraid I’m more confused now than before.

Ctrl+Enter (in Multi-line mode) = \n (in Single-line mode).

If I do CTRL + ENTER as in the picture above, I won’t get any results with the following options:
☑ Multiline
◉ (None)
◉ Regular Expressions
◉ Escape Sequence

Is this a bug of EmEditor or an application error of mine?
Are multi-line queries only allowed with the option ◉ Regular Expressions?

If you want to search for a multi-line string, usually you have to match the exact number of the lines:

And note that EmEditor cannot highlight multi-line matches with colors.

Mmmh, with
☑ Multiline
◉ Regular Expressions
(^2$|^4$)
in a .txt file the numbers 2 and 4 are marked in green.

In the example in the picture I wanted to find exactly the numbers 2 and 4 in a range from 1 to 5, with or without RegEx.
To complicate matters, I would also like to add the number 24 to the list and this number should not be marked.
Unfortunately, I do not know how it would be possible to make an exact definition, so that only numbers 2 and 4 would be marked.

Perhaps it would be possible if you or someone else could answer these questions for me.
