As of Notepad++ v6.7 (on Windows 8 64-bit), RegEx Helper crashes immediately on start (pressing Ctrl-F12 or through menu) with error message "Unknown exception". "PluginsManager::runPluginCommand Exception" is in the title bar of the error popup. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling without change to that error condition.

Please restore this plugin as I use it often!

Thank you!
Bill Smith

    I am having the same exact problem as Bill and have tried the same remediation techniques as described, but to no avail.

    I am running NotePad++ on Windows 7 64-bit.

    I use this plugin A LOT, can you please fix this.
    Thank you.

      Yes, it works now (on Notepad++ v6.7.5)

      Thanks a lot!

      Please upload version 0.2.3
      to the Notepad++ repository
      (that still has 0.2.2 yet)

    Verified! No longer crashes on launch for me (NP++ v6.7.7).

    Thanks a lot for fixing this.

    It (or Notepad++ ?) broke again with the update to Notepad++ v6.7.9. The update insists on disabling the RegEx Helper plugin, as it usually does, so I just move the plugin back into the plugin directory, like I usually do. But both Ctrl-F12 and running from the Plugins directory, the plugin crashes.

    Any update on this? Notepad v6.8.3 and RegEx Helper v0.0.2.2, still crashing when I attempt to start it up.

    Bill,
    As I mentioned earlier, you need to update to version 0.2.3. The team responsible for the Plugin Manager has not updated the list. I submitted a request a few months ago but nothing ever came of it.

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/nppregexhelper/files/0.2.3

    You absolutely did mention that before, and I apologize for my confusion! I didn't realize Plugin Manager would downgrade it. I'll definitely keep an eye on it now!
