Thanks very much for your incredibly creative solution. It works exactly as you suggested it would. The only downside, using your solution, I lose the capability of capturing the output of the command in the Command Results Window. The irony of this, it is the captured output that caused me to make ...

I'm afraid that I'm a bit slow and would appreciate some further clarification. I downloaded the file, created a Tool and tried it but get the error: "The TextPad window appears not to be active." The command line that I need to execute is: sqlplus user/pass@db @filename The Tool I created has ...

I think you may be misunderstanding what TextPad does. The macros in TextPad (its only weak point) have to be recorded as a sequence of keyboard strokes. If you write an SQL command and want to run it as a tool then I guess the tool you want to create will have the SQL interpreter as a command with ...

I'm using Oracle 8i, via SQLplus. That's how I currently have the tool set up. As I mentioned earlier, TextPad is working very nicely, except that it seems to only work with a saved file. I don't understand how I could do it with a script, however. I've toyed with the notion of a macro that would ...

The TextPad Tool works just fine currently, but only on a saved file. My former favorite editor (NoteTab), would execute simply using the active window. (I assume that it saved it as a temporary file somewhere) I thought perhaps TextPad had the same capability. I've looked through the TextPad help ...

I would like to configure a Tool that I can use with the active window rather than a saved file. This is what I hope to be able to do: 1-Open TextPad 2-Click the File New button (new window appears) 3-Type an SQL command in the new window 4-Run macro (execute the SQL I just typed) without saving the ...

Well, then I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I have created a new Tool and Save All Documents is not checked.

It would be handy to have Copy on the right click context menu in the Command Results window.

Is there a means of using a TextPad tool with an open window without first saving the file? I would like to be able to click the file->new, type in an SQL command and run, but Textpad requires me to save the file first. I'm new to TextPad (really like it a lot). I had been using Note Pad and was ...
