The key commands only work in the document proper. Not in any dialogs. I wish the documentation was clearer, but this seems to be standard Windows thing.

I personally do this type of thing in PhraseExpress, a Windows scripting program free for personal use. http://www.phraseexpress.com/download.php Here's a PhraseExpress import-file. This is indented for clarity, but must be UN-indented in order to import it into PhraseExpress. DUPLICATE the file, un...

That's an interesting idea.

Consider Windows' Snipping Tool. Type "snippingtool" into the Run... box. You can take a screenshot of any portion of the screen you like. Save it to the desktop, then attach it to your email.

Great find! Thanks ak47wong!

I've recorded a macro that selects ([X] Extend selection) UP from the cursor through the previous tag, finding this REGEX: <[^>]+> When recording, it works just fine. But nothing happens when I play it back. I've saved it and assigned a key-command to it, but still nothing happens when I trigger it....

They work as long as the find dialog is not focused on--even if the dialog is open. They do not work when the dialog is open and focused. This is disappointing. I sort of feel like this is a bug. Or SHOULD be a bug, and it SHOULD work when it's open and focused. It makes automating TextPad via scrip...

I can successfully set and unset the regex flag with the new Search>RegexSet and RegexClear commands (via key-commands I assigned to them), but I can only do this when the find-dialog is closed. When the dialog is opened and I use these same key-commands, I'm only getting dings, as if I'm trying to ...

.*$ or .+$ is redundant. As far as search and replace is concerned, that's true, it is redundant. When just searching, however it is not redundant. Using the non-$ version, go to the top of the document 111 111 111 some text here 234 1 43 some more text here 1 0 213 some other text here 11 and sear...

Actually, if it truly is the last three characters, then this is better:

If anyone could help to find an expression to just replace the last 3 numbers (column 85, 86, 87) with +25 it would be extremely appreciated. You could do this easily in PhraseExpress: - zProcessAllLines: {#LOOP zProcessLine -count {#INPUT -head How many lines to process? -single}} - zProcessLine: ...

To build on ben_josephs idea, I would personally write it as this: ^(([^ ]+ ){3}).+$ That is, "3" repeats of at-least-one-non-space followed by one-space. I'd also make it a dot-plus if you're SURE there's text after the third space. Finally, I'd add that $, to avoid matching partial lines...

I'm still using TextPad after ten straight years, more than that, even though there's only been about a year-or-so-worth of major updates. That says something. Positive I mean. I'm still using it as my ONLY development environment despite. I'm no longer caring about editable macros. As Bob Hansen ha...

It actually seems to have gone away...

In 6.1, I don't see any close X button for the current document, when document tabs are not being displayed. I can close it with the key command or file->close, but... Hopefully this is a bug. I searched the forum but found nothing. http://jeffyepstein.com/posts/textpad/textpad_6p2_no_file_close_but...
