Reversing range of characters?

[abuali129]

Could by any chance we get reversing only specific characters only. As I want to reverse the arabic letters in the file without touching the English ones

I guess it should be possible if we check for a specific range of character codes using the Arabic Unicode Standard 9.0 reference. Using C++ as mentioned in Scintilla reference you could find characters between 0600 and 06FF and iterate through each selection and reverse it.

I actually don't use Windows anymore so it's unfortunately really difficult for me to test and implement this.

Well, can I ask for the .dll plugin? I'm not familiar with the mingw or this kind of things

[abuali129]

nevermind, I did it, I got the .dll
Know how do I go with the regex to reverse the desired characters only?
And BTW the characters I'm using is different from what you mentioned, it is in this range U+FE70..U+FEFF

Glad you found a way to get the DLL, you could also make selections manually with a regex search inside Notepad++. I didn't test it but you could check this StackOverflow reply and use the range of codes you are looking for. And then use the plugin to reverse selection.

oops! just check your tool by now, it messed up the arabic wirting, too bad
thats is original

that is the reversed

I wasn't thinking with my earlier reply, I reverse the string 1 byte at a time hence this broken result with Arabic. The plugin should check for document encoding before proceeding to reverse the content.

It might be easier to do that using Python Scripts for Notepad++.

Still i didn't get any script that do the same for unicode
