Which functions fail and in what way?

How do you determine how many lines there are in the keys (first) section and the values (second) section? Can it be arranged that they are separated by an empty line?
How do you determine the maximum length of the lines in the keys section?

Pedantically, yes. But the omission of a newline at the end of a text file is usually an error.

They only differ if the last line is not terminated with a newline (with TextPad 8.15.1 and 9.0.1).

In fact, I often do this sort of thing in two steps: 1. Mark all the lines to be deleted: S earch | F ind... ( <F5> ): F i nd what: -a---$ [ X ] Regular e xpression M ark All 2. Delete the marked lines: E dit | De l ete | B ookmarked Lines This gives me a better chance of avoiding doing something st...

Search | Replace... (<F8>):

Find what: .*-a---\n
Replace with: [nothing]

It's not quite what you want, but you can toggle the display of full paths in both the document selector and tabs with the command View | ViewFullPaths . I have that assigned to <Ctrl+Shift+F11> . (I prefer multiple overlapping document windows, so I don't use tabs, and so it's not an issue for me.)...

I see it too. The effect seems to be most pronounced when the contents of the file don't fill the document window.

It looks like your dates are in crazy US format. Try: S earch | R eplace... ( <F8> ): F i nd what: \b(\d)?(\d)/(\d)?(\d)/(\d{4})\b Re p lace with: $5-(?1$1:0)$2-(?3$3:0)$4 [ X ] Regular e xpression You can put this in a macro: Replace = "\\b(\\d)?(\\d)/(\\d)?(\\d)/(\\d{4})\\b", "$5-(?...

I didn't know about that (I don't use toobars).
You don't seem to be able to reset the zoom level from that toolbar.

Do you mean to zoom in on a document?

I have them mapped to:
Shift+Alt+Up
Shift+Alt+Down
Shift+Alt+Num 5
respectively.

If a workspace is open in a TextPad instance, then if you close the instance or open another workspace TextPad saves the (previous) workspace. But, as ak47wong said, you can explicitly close the workspace without saving it: F ile | W orkspace | C lose TextPad will ask: "Do you want to save chan...

I don't believe there is a way to specify the encoding by directory. But you can specify the encoding by filename extension: in C onfigure | P references | Document Classes | <Class> for Default encoding: select ANSI or UTF-8 . You can override this when opening an individual file by specifying the ...

MudGuard counts from 0, as do most programmers and mathematicians (although, when not programming, from long-standing habit, even they usually count lines and character positions from 1).
