Does TextPad's Tools/Compare Files not work for you?

For many years I have recommended Macro Scheduler as a product to complement TextPad and provide Macro tools. Both products work very well together. Well, today they (MJT) announced free licenses to Macro Scheduler Lite for donations to a legitimate Haiti Fund. Here is an excerpt: If you donate at l...

TestPad RegEx does not handle unknown number of multiple \n codes. But there are two work arounds that seem to work. 1. Use WildEdit, which does handle the multiple lines. 2. Using TextPad: First replace all }\n" with an unused character like the tilde (~). Then, do your Search/Replace scanning...

This works for one or more leading digits : Search for: ^([0-9]+),, Replace with: 00\1 Per your example, using comma "," for spaces. Use the following settings: ----------------------------------------- [ X ] Regular expression Replace A ll ----------------------------------------- Configu...

Based on your description, this sounds doable. But, I am finding your explanation confusing. Could you provide a better example of Before and After strings? Use real examples vs. <character> and <zero>. It would be useful to use another char to represent the <space> so the count of spaces can be seen.

Ben's solution was neater than mine.

But I am curious if mine did not work for you?

ak47wong did provide you with a solution that matched exactly what you requested: If I could search for a sequence where a hyphen/dash is inserted between two consonants . But now you have changed the specs. Here is a structure that you can complete: Search for (b)-(b)|(c)-(c)|(d)-(d)|.......|(z)-(z...

Make a Clip Library for your Regex parameters. Then you can Copy/Paste into the string boxes.

You can also add notes to the individual clips to help explain anything that mght be confusing.

I don't think any wounds have been opened.

I think this discussion did exactly what it should. Tried to provide a solution to a problem and clarified any misunderstandings.

Kudos to all.

From my first response: You just need to edit another syntax file and save it with a new name for haml syntax. What do you not understand? 1. Open an existing syntax file in TextPad. 2. Edit it to reflect the needs of the haml file, use the TextPad HELP. 3. Save the edited file as haml.syn. 4. Creat...

You just need to edit another syntax file and save it with a new name for haml syntax. Seach this forum for posts on "create syntax", include BOTH words. Also see the TextPad HELP section on "Syntax Definition Files". Once the syntax file is created, you need to associate that sy...

For Bruce: TextPad does not provide a tool to edit its macros, so a work around must be used. I have mentioned the solution that worked best for ME. Others have suggested other macro tools that are less expensive. I would not recommend another tool that I have not qualified. AutoIt v3 is a free macr...

Do you need to redefine your needs?

You did not mention it, but I suspect you also want to remove the space character after the period. If so, just add a space character after the period in benjosephs solution.

I am using 4.73 and the feature is available in that version. Edit / Copy Other / As a HTML page is right there. But it will be greyed out if no text is selected. So, just do CTL-A to Select All, then use the Copy Other ... function. You could create a macro to do that, and assign a Hot Key to the m...
