When paste words from PDF, there is always strange formatted characters < >

[cruisermaxx]

When pasting text such as the title from PDF to Everything 1.5+, there are always strange formatted characters like << and >>.
When I paste there text to any other software and Everything 1.4+, the title is pure text without breakline.

Formatted text: <<A partitioned fully explicit Lagrangian finite element method for>|<highly nonlinear fluid-structure interaction problems>>
Plain text: A partitioned fully explicit Lagrangian finite element method for highly nonlinear fluid-structure interaction problems

Is there any setting about Everthing 1.5+, or it is a bug?

Hi,

The text in the PDF file "2017 A partitioned fully explicit.pdf" is displayed as follows:

Code: Select all

A partitioned fully explicit Lagrangian finite element method for
highly nonlinear fluid-structure interaction problems

When this text is copied, it includes a line break.

This setting is responsible for displaying the contents of the clipboard in the ‘Everything’ search box: paste_new_line_op

In principle, the display is correct with this setting, < > is the “Grouping” operator,
but in this case it refers to file content (in a file) and not to a file name that you want to search for.

Your image shows
a search for file names or folders, and the above statement about the setting paste_new_line_op applies --> < > is the “Grouping” operator.

For this reason, you must precede the file content search with the command content: as follows...!

Everything Options - 1.5.0.1399a (x64) > Advanced > paste_new_line_op > Value for paste_new_line_op: OR

Code: Select all

content:<<A partitioned fully explicit Lagrangian finite element method for>|<highly nonlinear fluid-structure interaction problems>>

Everything Options - 1.5.0.1399a (x64) > Advanced > paste_new_line_op > Value for paste_new_line_op: AND

Code: Select all

content:<A partitioned fully explicit Lagrangian finite element method for highly nonlinear fluid-structure interaction problems>

Paste the contents of multi-line text file into the search bar in Everything.
If possible try avoid copying the last empty line or remove the trailing |<> in your search.

Thanks for your reply. As you mentioned when I change the Advanced setting "paste_new_line_op" to AND,
there are still two characters < > before and after the title when I paste in Everything 1.5+.

So how can I get the plain text directly. Thank you!

Set both:

paste_multiline_group=0 (i.e., false)
paste_new_line_op=0 (i.e., AND)

Set both:

paste_multiline_group=0 (i.e., false)
paste_new_line_op=0 (i.e., AND)

Thank you very mcuh for replying and solving this problem!
