"FS" Symbol in Notepad++

[Robert Hall]

Hello,

How to replace all the "FS" (value 28) symbols in Notepad++?

I cannot copy or paste them...

Many thanks,

[Fool4UAnyway]

Select one of them and then open the Replace dialog (Ctrl+H).

Hi Robert,

It's quite easy with regular expressions !

• Set the "Regular expression" search mode.

• Type \x1C in the SEARCH dialog ( HEXA value of 28 ) .

• Leave the REPLACEMENT dialog EMPTY.

• Click on the "Replace All" button => All the FS character ( "File Separator" ) are removed, at once.

I did the test on your attached file and it's all OK !

Cheers,

P.S. :

You will find good documentation, about the new PRCE Regular Expressions,
used by N++, since the 6.0 version, at the TWO addresses below :

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/perl_syntax.html

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/format/boost_format_syntax.html

The FIRST link concerns the syntax of regular expressions in SEARCH

The SECOND link concerns the syntax of regular expressions in REPLACEMENT

BTW : Your S/R works, as well, with a version older than 6.0 !
