Yes exactly. I don't necessary want the program (SAS) to send its outputs to TextPad.

Here is the configuration I search :
- I run my SAS code with TextPad
- I have outputs and log in SAS (as usually when you are using the SAS editor)

For example, "Tool completed successfully", it works good (thanks to you!).
Therefore, I installed and use now TextPad last version 7.3.0, you are right : it is exactly the same for selecting blocks code

Yes I did. When I tick that box, these following fields become selectable :
- regular expression to match output
- registers (file, line, column)

I don't know what it is about but I tried to do it without filling nothing. That makes TextPad writing a little message about running codes.
I may be ...

This is an old one : 5.4.2 version.

I have five selectable options :

- Run minimized
- Close DOS window on exit
- Save documents before the start
- Waiting for parameters
- Capture messages

Do you think I should use the last version of TextPad ? This one has been advised to me by my boss because ...

Yes, this is a console program. Is that the reason why I don't have a "Capture output" box in my tool configuration menu ?

Yes ! Now, it works, no error any more.
I have another problem which is not related to this one : I don't see my program's outputs, but I think this issue implies to know well how does SAS work... So, it is okay for me here

Thanks for all Ben

Error corrected. On this website, it is written to put in the parameters box :
Start "SAS Program" /low "{SASfolder}\Sas.exe"$File -NOSPLASH -CONFIG"{SASfolder}\SASV8.CFG"

I tried : "C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.3\Sas.exe"$File -NOSPLASH -CONFIG "C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9 ...

Hum when I read the whole discussion, I have to agree with you ! I am not very clear, I guess that my attention is mainly focused on english language and not on what I am really saying ^^'

SAS is a Stats software. You have an editor in it, you select the part of code you want to run, you just push ...

Yes, I did but I did not find a SAS "How To" but general tips and I do not understand how to fill the parameter box in my case

Anyway thanks for answering

I am a bit disappointed, thought that was an easy question for community
Still nobody knowing about that ? Or maybe, my english is inunderstandable ?

Hello everybody,

I am a beginner with TextPad and I search the way to configure TextPad in order to run SAS codes.
I know this is by editing an external tool, but I have a problem with the "parameters" box.

What should I write into it ?

Thanks
