You can highlight the line and then go Edit | Insert | Statistics. That will put in the number of characters, words, and lines in that line. You could theoretically do that for each line then sort on that information and later remove it. Maybe all as part of a macro.

He meant to tell you to click the "Prompt for parameters" box there.

Everytime I run a Java Application in TextPad it creates a batch file that is linked to the program I am running, I am using Windows XP. Is there a way to stop this? What do you mean, "creates a batch file"? Are you just talking about the popup window (with the black background) that's cr...

Seems to me you would have to pass $File as well as $Sel. Then have your program look for the selected text in the file, do whatever modifications to it, then write the file back out. TextPad will then warn you with something like "Another application has modified this file; reload it?". I...

How can you use TextPad to do that? Use it to write a program
that does it.

Seriously, I think that may be the only way...

Just so I'm understanding the tool setup line column logic, in the reg exp I'm giving it the since I've got line setup as 1 it uses the value that returns in the first set of parens via ^line \([0-9]+\), where the \( and \) place ( and ) in the return - is this correct? That is correct, and 2 would...

Hmm, it looks right. Something I always try in these situations: copy and paste this "Regular expression to match output" into a regular old search window, and see if the search finds these output lines your are talking about. Remember to click "Regular expression" on the Search...

trying it with adding a space after so that it looked like this: '^line ([0-9]+) column ([0-9]+) ' (without the ' ) as well as without the extra space at the end of the line still doesn't match the column Hmm, it looks right. Something I always try in these situations: copy and paste this "Reg...

setup tidy support per the howto at http://textpad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4768 I get a "cannot jump to item under the cursor" when I doubleclick on the result in the Command Results tab after running the tidy tool to link me back to the correct spot in the source. I've confirmed that m...

Just a reminder that there is an auto-complete macro out there on textpad.com that you can download. It basically just looks for the last occurrence of a word that matches what you're typing, and copies and pastes in remainder of the word. Full proper support with the syntax files and such that does...

Not so. Firstly, I don't know what Unicode "compliance" means. So far as I am aware, it is not a formally defined term. On the other hand, Unicode "conformance" is precisely defined, and is EXACTLY what you need to fix that bug. Unicode conformance means explicitly this - thou s...

Just a /nota bene/ here -- I believe Unicode compliance to be a Worthy and Noble Cause, but the bug I described here at the top of this thread is still a separate issue that I think could be cleared up easily without my having to wait for full Unicode compliance. Not that I mind the mention of the o...

All that made my head hurty too. It had not occurred to me that there
would be so much that needs to change in order to achieve full Unicode compliance.

But, let's start the process. Full compliance would kick *ss, and expand the customer base. I vote yes.

Hi, I noticed this same problem in earlier versions of TP. However, I think v4.7 no longer transforms Unicode characters into something else. In v4.7 TP seems to display these Unicode characters as a variety of ASCII characters, but TP leaves the underlying Unicode data unchanged. I'm interested to...

I titled that post "Bug dealing with unicode" but the characters involved are not necessarily unicode; same problem occurs with other various UTF encodings or any other encoding with characters not within textpad's accepted range.
