I am completely new to Sublime text 3 and at the moment only want to use it to work with normal text files (no source code), containing a lot of URLs.
At first, I tried Sublime Text 2 which would be pretty good for what I want because with "plain text" syntax it automatically highlights links in red. For ST3 I tried for hours to get this to work, but for every syntax I tried there are some characters (like " and ') that screw up my document (e.g. highlight half of it because there is a single ' somewhere in it).
All I would like is a different color for URLs. How can I do this? And how can I set this to be the default, so that it stays that way when I restart ST3?

It seems impossible to find a very simple working example for an RTF numbered list that looks like this:
1. The first line
2. The second line
I tried to make a small sample by using Word but they produce a lot of garbage. Can anyone help out?
Somewhere I got this, but it's not working, only the first line is bulleted, more lines get appended to the first line.
\pard{\pntext\f0 1.\tab}\*\pn\pnlvlbody\pnf0\pnindent0\pnstart1\pndec{\pntxta.}}\fi-360\li480\sa50\sl0\slmult1 The first line
(My target is the RTF Edit box of Windows, so I'm not all concerned about backwards compatibility with older RTF readers like Word 6 which do not understand numbered lists and need fallback text formatted to look list numbers.)
The following works for me with the Windows RichTextBox control and Word version 1803:
{\rtf1
\pard{\pntext\f0 1.\tab}\*\pn\pnlvlbody\pnf0\pnindent0\pnstart1\pndec{\pntxta.}
\fi-360\li480\sa50\sl0\slmult1 The first line\par The second line\par The third line\par
\pard\par normal text
}
Inconsistencies come when you try to end the list without a blank line between the last list item and the normal text - Word displays it correctly, but the RTB control still shows "normal text" as part of the list (i.e. number 4.) if you remove the \par after \pard.
Google Docs has a "feature" that sometimes converts four spaces to one tab.
Copying and pasting text does not solve this problem, because the spaces in that text are converted to tabs automatically.
Is there a way to turn this off?
No way to turn of that I know of. So annoying.
You can work-around using normal copy-paste, then a search-and-replace.
Copy-Paste you content into the Google Doc
In a text-editor, enter a tab character then cut it to your clipboard
Back in Google Docs, highlight the content you wish to fix
Hit Ctrl + H to open Find and replace dialogue
Paste the tab character into the Find field
Insert 4 space characters into the Replace with field
Click Replace all
The approach that caused me the least headaches was to replace all spaces by another character (say underscore) in the original text, copy/paste it, then replace the underscore using find+replace. This was in Google slides.
i use cmd+shift+v (edit -> paste without formatting) to paste.
The spaces are not converted to tabs.
I did find one solution: there is a Chrome plugin called "Drive Notepad" which edits google drive files and has an option "Tabs: hard"
I have big data at excel, and some cells contains html codes. These cells have line breaks in them. I tried to replace line breaks (Alt+010, \n) but excel said there is no char like this.
When I copied cell to notepad, there is no line break.
When I copied from notepad to phpmyadmin sql area or textpad, I see line breaks again.
There are notepad, textpad and phpmyadmin sql area screenshots below. How can I remove these invisible line breaks?
This could be a problem with Carriage Return + Line Feed. When you press Alt+Enter in Excel it only incerts a Line Feed. But if you somehow get both Carriage Return + Line Feed in a cell that could leed to additional problems. See this page for solutions:

Did you try to remove any unnecessary tab within the code? Also check for some trivial things like e.g string max length in your mysql database or editor's miscellaneous settings.
EDIT. oh, I forgot. It may be also caused by your language settings, check for default database's regional coding preset and if Turkish is currently supported.
Line breaks - do you mean the line breaks you could introduce in Excel with ALT+ENTER?
Then you could use Search / Replace option in Excel without need to copy your content to another tool:
Open it and introduce in Search for CTRL+J (you will receive a point displayed in the search field).
In Replace you could introduce what you want (nothing, a space, a semicolon, ...).
Select Replace all.
EDIT:
I've tested it by copying html from textpad to one cell using clipboard. With this the method described by me is not working.
But there is another solution: Open replace command, for "search string" introduce ALT-Key (keep it pressed), then introduce by using the numeric key pad (on the right side of a "standard" keyboard) the tree digits 0 1 0 and finally release ALT-Key (you will see a point displayed in the search field). Choose as replacement string what you want and choose replace all.
Function =clean() helped me. Find/replace with ALT+J worked to replace, but did not fully deleted all the invisible characters in the string, so the cell was still misbehaving with text in columns. The =clean() function finally removed all the invisible characters left there.
I have 6 huge text files, and i need to filter them by deleting all the lines that doesn't contains the string: 53=S.
For 5 of them, i managed to filter the files with notepad++ as follow:
Find --> Mark --> Bookmark Lines --> Mark All --> Search --> Bookmarks -- > Remove Unbookmarked Lines
However, the application collapsed for a specific file each time i tried it. I tried it in two PCs with the same result.
Anyone know how can i remove the irrelevant lines with Sublimes or any other tool?
You could try a regular expression replace in notepad++.
Using notepad++, press ctrl+h or bring up the search>replace window.
In the 'find what' text box enter ^(?m)^(?:(?!53=S).)*$
and leave the 'replace with' text box empty
Make sure the search mode is set to 'Regular Expression' and then hit 'Replace All'
This should remove any line that doesn'tcontain the string 53=S
There is a notepad++ plugin called LineFilter (not LineFilter2), which provides a menu with entries like
delete all lines containing the selection
delete all lines not containig the selection
it opens a new tab with the result. That worked on large files. I liked it a lot.
The plugin is available from Notepad++ Plugin Central.
If you have grep available, then grep should do the trick, too.
In the visual studio 2012 editor, I don't need to remove entire or multiple blank lines as all of the other stuff I could search on S/O is concerned with. I want to select multiple lines of aspx markup (usually from 2 to 10 or so) and remove the line endings on multiple lines of source code so that you end up with everything that was in the selected lines on one line. A small example of what I want to do is:
BEFORE source code:
[dx:GridViewTextColumn ID="Inactive"
Width="50"]
[/dx:GridViewTextColumn]
AFTER:
[dx:GridViewTextColumn ID="Inactive" Width="50"][/dx:GridViewTextColumn]
(replace the "[" chars above with "<" chars, and "]" with ">" chars, I entered it that way just to get it to display somewhat properly here)
It seems like this should be pretty simple, but I have tried various search/replace and regex values that are talked about in the many articles that talk about removing entire blank lines, but can't get anything to work. A little help? :)

Still trying, but this gets me really close:
In Visual Studio 2012 ide.
Working in an aspx file with its xml markup.
Do Ctrl-H to do a string search/replace on a selected stretch of xml (from start to finish of a particular well-formed tag, which may or may not contain subtags, but each tag is on a separate line).
Specify the following in the from textbox:
\s{2,}
Specify one blank space in the to textbox.
For the first example I gave, the result would be:
[dx:GridViewTextColumn ID="Inactive" Width="50"] [/dx:GridViewTextColumn]
Note the single blank space between the separate tags (after the first ']' character and before the second '[' character) . If I could figure out how to not have that space in the result it would be perfect.

Oh duh. Otay, I think I got it, the from textbox value is the same, but for the to textbox value, instead of a single space, just have nothing. That seems to work for my specific use case (selecting a certain amount of xml within aspx markup and making it all be on a single line with no extraneous blank spaces). Yay!
In the VS2012 ide, Ctrl-H dialog, specify regex, then in the from textbox put:
\s{2,}
and in the to textbox put nothing.
Execute on whatever amount of xml that you have selected (from the beginning tag less-than character to its matching ending tag greater-than character, along with any/all subtags in between, over any number of lines of source code).
What you have selected will be condensed to one line of source code without any extraneous blank spaces present.
This seems to work for the xml that is in .NET aspx markup (what I specifically needed); not guaranteed to work anywhere else.
