Multiple problems:

  1. XML file in wrong directory
  2. Didn't update JSON
  3. UDL definition is not using standard Notepad++ UDL definition syntax
    • the ext="idoc;IDOC;txt" attribute is wrong; it should be ext="idoc txt"
      • no semicolons between extensions
      • need spaces between extensions
      • extensions are case insensitive, so you don't need both idoc and IDOC
      • it is considered rude to define a UDL that you are publically sharing that hijacks the txt extension, because that will mess up opening normal text files.
    • Notepad++ only has 8 keyword groups for UDL, not 15
    • The folders, delimiters, operators, and comments definitions are wrong for Notepad++, and are being completely ignored

What version of Notepad++ did you create this UDL with? Can you share the ? menu's Debug Info? Can you show a screenshot of it working, including highlighting comments and operators and delimiters?

This will likely be closed, as it's a completely invalid submission.
