When I double click on a .txt file, it opens in a new instance of TextPad. I have to right click on the file, and select Open with TextPad in ord...

I should be clear, the data itself changes.

A sort order looking at the number as characters makes total sense.

But I'm seeing that the data itself changes.

I bet that is not the regex you wanted to post, because without the backslashes you surely are unable to get numbers. Yours works, but I'm puzzled why mine blew up TP. I tried it in Expresso, and it understood it. Tried it in another tool, and it worked fine. Update: Now I'm seeing that it stripped...

Need Expert Help, I think with Negative Lookbehind

I'm trying to match on a SQL INSERT statement, but only up to the first GO statement. I think I need Negative Lookbehind assist, but I could not make it work.

This will keep finding until the LAST GO statement, but I only want the NEXT GO statement after the INSERT.
insert +into +dbo.account .*GO

That is fascinatingly strange. And it works. Much appreciated.

It appears I'm going to have to become much more connected with UTF-8 and Unicode and BOMs, oh my.

[\x7F-\xFF] does not appear to work

I'm trying to use the Regex Range of [\x7F-\xFF], but it does not appear to work. I can find some characters in the range, but not everything. Here are two specifics. I cannot find the left single quote (‘). ALT-0145 on the keyboard. I can find the latin small letter y with diaeresis (ÿ). A...
