I'm sure WildEdit could do it (he says with a wink). Try this: - Search for all {text} literals and Mark All - Edit -> Copy Other -> Bookmarked lines - Paste into a new document - Take the word wrap off the new document, if it's not already off, using Ctrl+Q, W - Configure -> Block Select Mode - Sel...

- Before running the macro, don't forget to take the word wrap off manually (Ctrl+Q, W), for each file that is to be processed - When recording the macro, don't forget to press "Home" after inserting the Page Break character, so that the cursor will be ready for the macro's succeeding iter...

You might do something like this: (1) Open the appropriate file, if it's not already open (2) Turn the file's word wrap off, if it's not already off, using Ctrl+Q, W (3) Ctrl+Shift+F2 to clear all bookmarks, if the file is not already clear of bookmarks (4) Ctrl+Home to get the cursor to the top of ...

Right . . . but at the moment "unwatched" appears to be in need of a quick TextPad solution, so "macros to the rescue!"

A crude solution . . . would be to write a macro to move down 25 lines and insert a page break (Edit - Insert - Page Break). With all due respect, ACRobin, yours is not a crude solution. It is an intelligent solution and, in fact, THE solution, as this is not a job for regular expressions. It is no...

. . . not the files you saved as a Workspace. Almost: . . . not the files that you ORIGINALLY saved as a particular workspace, but those that you AUTOMATICALLY saved, whether you realized it, at the time of your closing the instance, by your actively closing the instance. Had you not closed the ins...

First, I should say that I'm running 4.7.3, so maybe I shouldn't comment on issues that concern 5.X.X. However, what has sparked my curiosity is your use of Alt+Tab to switch windows. Try some other means of switching windows, say, Ctrl+F6 (and Ctrl+Shift+F6). Of course I am assuming that Ctrl+F6 is...

Don't worry: After a while, your head's spin will begin to slow to something manageable and your mouth will say things like, "I love this program," "I am now a true power user," "My text editor can do everything yours can and more," and "TextPad to the rescue!"...

Can we be reasonably certain that all ILLEGITIMATE semicolons in your code ARE preceded by spaces? In other words, could there be any that are NOT preceded by spaces? If some of the illegitimate semicolons are preceded by characters other than spaces, then can we be reasonably certain as to what tho...

TextPad can do it, in a macro, using regular expressions, with or without the help of bookmarks. First do it manually, so that you can get an idea of what the macro will need to do. The use of bookmarks is recommended for manual execution, because they offer some visual assistance and comfort. Since...

If you're still not fully satisfied, do this:

Configure -> Preferences... -> General

[x] Reload last workspace at startup

Since I'm always launching multiple instances of TextPad, I prefer to keep this box unchecked and open workspaces manually. . . .

Unless I'm missing what you're saying, the answer is very simple: Just define a workspace called "LastBunch." Open and close, in this workspace, whatever files you want, whenever you want. Whenever you close an instance of TextPad in which the LastBunch workspace is open, TextPad will auto...

Before installing TextPad 5.X.X, did you first entirely uninstall TextPad 4.X.X? Once, I tried to install 4.7.2 alongside 4.5, because I didn't want to lose 4.5's preferences and reinstall 4.5 if 4.7.2 turned out to be something other than what I wanted--or something like that. Strange behavior ensu...

- Try putting the "Tile Horizontally" toolbar button (or the one of your choice) on a toolbar so that you can retile with just a single click. - Try "floating" the Document Selector instead of docking it. Does that eliminate the problem of the Document Selector's modifying the ti...
