Is there a way to do a multi-line find using the find-in-files feature? I have tried a number of find expressions and nothing works. Some examples of find text are:

some text\n more text
some text[^m]+
some text\n *more

All of these work within a single file, but not in the find-in-files dialog.

I noticed that TextPad 7.6.2 had a fix for the following problem "The height of the main window was reduced on restart, if the bottom was close to the taskbar". I had 7.6.1 and was experiencing this so I installed 7.6.2. However, I still have the same problem (although it is not exactly th...

I recently installed TextPad 7.5.1 (64-bit Edition) on Windows 8.1. I noticed a change in that, it no longer remembers the setting for case sensitivity on the Sort dialogue. Previously, I would select 'case insensitive' (my usual setting) and this selection would be remembered the next time I opened...

I have tab-delimited text. Certain columns have YES or NO values. I am trying to replace the YES or NO values with 1 or 0. There are too many columns to do all the permutations of YES or NO in the find expression. I was looking at using the conditional expressions but I just can't understand the Tex...

Are you associated with TextPad? If not, do you know how to report this? Like I said, I already sent this to them via e-mail and didn't hear back if it is a bug or not.

I think this is a bug. I sent it to TextPad but didn't hear anything back, so I thought I would get opinions from Forum members. I have the following two lines of text in a file: "Field-1","Field-2","Field-3","Field-4","Field-5","Field-6",&...

The problem with that is it makes the hyphen part of all words, which I don't want. I just want the syntax highlighting to match the keyword as entered (case-insensitive in this case). Since I am providing the explicit keywords, it shouldn't be using any word matching rules other than 'is this the s...

Does anyone know how to make the syntax highlighting find keywords with hyphens in them. I have some keywords like Font-Bold. I enter them into a syntax file, but those terms do net get highlighted (colored text) even though all the non-hyphenated keywords do.

Its been a while since I posted this, but my suggestion was only to initialize the Find dialog when opening the dialog, not to replace text that is already in an open dialog.

When I have selected text and I click on the the Find (or Replace) button, the text is entered into the Find dialog as is. However, if the find text contains a string like 'variable[value]', the brackets are treated as the special class expression rather than the literal brackets I would like. It wo...

If that is something that can be changed, then consider this an enhancement request to remember the settings.

I don't know if this is an enhancement or a bug. I just started using Windows 7. I installed TextPad 5.4.2 and I noticed when I do a file compare and I check the boxes to ignore idifference due to case and spaces, the next time I do a file compare (after closing and restarting TextPad) that the chec...

I would like to be able to create a list of directories to exclude from the 'Find in Files' search. In my particular case, I would like it to exclude the directory and all sub-directories, as well. Although, I could see that being an optional selection.

I have a couple of files that I get the standard character not on the cod page 1252 ... will be converted to the system characters. I am fine with that. However, I would like to find the characters that were replaced and put some other character(s) there that can be displayed. Does anyone know how t...
