Oh I SEEEE!!!!

Ok THAT first paragraph on that one page made it all clear.

So it's not a macro. It's just called a macro or called by one.

It's actually a "clip-book" with a "hot-spot" which your "current selection" replaces.

Thank you so much!!

Thanks! But I think I must have phrased it wrong. I don't want to know how to USE that library. It is obvious. I want to know how to MAKE macros that do just that sort of thing. For example say I wanted to make a macro that instead of <I>my selected text</I> which is one of the built-in options, sai...

I am trying to search the forum to find out how to make macros that will add things "around" selected text, similar to the italic and bold "built-in" macros that textpad has. Unfortunately I have no idea what this kind of thing is called and my macro searching is not going so wel...

That worked!! That's excellent!

Thank you so much for your help!!

Hi, I have content in text files which may contain any number of underlines that are 2-or-more underline chars together. These have a combination of inconsistent elements in the text: 1. Two or more will be together (ignore just one), but ALL in a given unbroken string. Quantity of repeat chars will...

Just so it is on this thread, for future searches: I had a similar problem which I was able to mostly-solve by using posix regex search: [€-ÿ] on find-in-files to show me "non-normal" text characters that would have to be changed before I could import stuff into my corp's software. That...

Several months ago I made a bunch of macros I used all the time but when my company tech support 'saved' my hard drive they wiped out everything on my computer and I lost them. I have been recreating them now, but I'm having this bizarre effect and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong: They are a...

I've been able to figure out lots of my own stuff thanks to the education in this forum, thanks for that. There's one thing I haven't done yet and I'm stuck on it. I have some lines (options in multiple choice questions, they always begin with a letter, period, space) which due to a software error, ...

In a way I didn't expect this totally solved the problem. The real problem (aside from my being a little dense...) is that since these value:pairs vary, in what's included, where it is on the line, etc. sometimes it works great like you showed, and can be done that way. I had figured out how to deal...

I see part of what I need to learn is how to better communicate specific to this topic. I apologize. Let me take this and work with it and see how it goes. Thanks a ton for your help, I really appreciate it.

Oh -- I totally did! -- I'm so sorry -- yes, now that I do it RIGHT, it works perfectly! You're a genius! Thank you so much!!

Man this will be SO helpful ... !!

PJ

Yes! That's awesome, it works!

Thank you SO much!!!

Oh also, the reason I approached it like I did, is that I can't just put a line break ahead of every letter-period-space as there are many other things in the docs like that which need to be unbothered. The only time I need this to happen is when on the line there is a-period-space and then later c-...

That solved a problem I didn't list so thank you, very helpful! But in this case I'm not trying to clear the whole line, I am trying to replace one value:pair on that line. I will need to replace (separately) all the other value pairs with their own tags, too, so I can't just delete them. (In previo...

can't find upload-image option, so I'm linking to screenshot



In addition to not finding it, I think this misses the detail that I have to rearrange the items, not just return each option to left margin.

Thanks very much,
