Anybody using PythonScript to create dialogs?

"you cannot make application modal windows in Notepad++" --> This is NOT true.

"please correct me and show how" --> I'm not going to show you how with Tcl/Tk, because I don't like and don't use it.

The capability can be easily demonstrated with this little UI toolkit that a PythonScript user created: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/24389
Suggest you check that out and if you have further questions, post to the community site and someone there will help you out.

The problem with Pythonscript is that you cannot make application modal windows in Notepad++ with Tcl/Tk (or any other GUI framework, as far as I know...), i.e. a window that stays on top within Notepad++, until the user closes it.
You can make a system modal window, but not an application modal window.
This is a rather severe limitation for Python scripts, as you mostly want the user to be able to interact with the script through a graphical user interface (a listbox or whatever).
If I am wrong, please correct me and show how!

You could use Tk that comes with a full install of PythonScript. (I never liked Tk)
I suppose you could use Windows low-level API for creating/managing windows, but that sounds, well, exhausting.
I make do with the "prompt" function; here's an example: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/28702

It appears there may be a problem with the special casing stuff in Pythonscript...see https://github.com/bruderstein/PythonScript/issues/199

Taking the addition of "r" for granted so that my backslashes are processed by the regex engine, the problem of uppercase to lowercase characters with "\ L" remains. I doubt the correct syntax to bring everything in lowercase associated with group # 3:

(\L$3)

Is this correct?
Thanks

hello, but the command editor.rereplace () unlike editor.replace () is not already addressed for the regex engine? if not what is the difference? thanks

Probably you need to use "raw strings" so that your backslashes aren't consumed by Python's interpretation and not given to the regex engine.

So, instead of:

editor.rereplace("abc", "def")

do:

editor.rereplace(r"abc", r"def")

hi all, I need to manipulate files looking for and modifying some tags, transforming capital letters where present into lowercase. For the search I used regular expressions. This regular expression works perfectly in the npp ++ search and replace command but does not work in a python script. The command in question is: editor.rereplace ("((\ /) *) ([a-zA-Z] +) ((\ d) +) "," $ 1 (\ L $ 3) $ 4 "). Suggestions? thanks

Well, why not just use straight Python without Notepad++ to do manipulation on these files? That would fit better in a "batch" situation like you describe. Or would the Pythonscripts use the power of Notepad++ to do something to the text that it would be difficult to duplicate in straight Python?

I'm an animation Pipeline TD and this is a kind of regular workflow we have for all applications that supporting python , in this case I need to do bunch of string manipulation in a file and need to open the file and run a python script and this is part of automated process with bunch of other pre/post scripts.
Do you think about any other solution for this ?
