Me too. I'm a reluctant UE convert because I need editable macros. I do quick cheats to TP because I've been using TP for so long I simply know where everything is and what to do.
UE is so feature rich I get lost with it and sometimes that gets in the way of what I need to do.

At work we've been using TP for 12 years. Great tool for text editing operations. Personally I've been teaching myself UltraEdit because of its built in programming language. I gave up waiting for TP to come up with editable macros. Now I write a macro in UltraEdit and I'm able to tweak it. But ever...

TextPad doesn't have the capability of editing binary files, hence the binary view is read-only. You'll need to use a separate hex editor, like one of these . Oh wow! After all these years I simply assumed that TP could edit files in binary view although I never had to use that (non existent) featu...

I agree with ak47. I've been visiting this forum almost every year for ten years or so to remind the developer - if he is looking - to add editable macros to TextPad. And I drop in every once in a while if anything has happened regarding this. Ten years! I'm familiar with TextPad for most of the bro...
Re: Bye
After fifteen years--or close to it--I'm moving on to Sublime Text 3. I've written a post about it. http://aliteralmind.wordpress.com/2014/10/02/textpad_to_sublime/ I mean no disrespect, and I spend much of the post discussing what TextPad does better. It's been a great ride. :( I agree with your p...
Regexes match strings. An anchor is a regex that matches a zero-length string in some specific context (such as the beginning of a line). My case is different. I often have to add to the row either by prefixing something or suffixing something to the row. Examples: ^ IM, or $ ,D Textpad always proc...

Getting Texpad to state the ANSI code of a character
Hi I've read that if you move the mouse cursor over a character that Textpad will announce the ANSI code of the character. But this doesn't always work. Sometimes I would stand the cursor over the character for many seconds and nothing happens. Is there a way to force Textpad to tell me the ANSI cod...

My grand plan appeared to fall apart in TP, but I seem to have recovered fully in WE. Note to self and others, when working with 800MB or larger files, use WE instead of TP. One of the niceties of both TP and WE using ECMA Regex is that what works in one will work in the other. I think that's what ...

Why Textpad will never have editable macros?
I'm curious for the definitive answer as to why Textpad is not given the ability to edit its own macros nor expose its macro scripting language? Users have been asking for these abilities for MANY years. A definitive reason is in order on this 20th anniversary year! Oh, by the way, happy 20th anniv...

I'd like to see a syntax file for Microsoft Visual Basic. I'm surprised there isn't one. I guess for all of them ...
