CHET-NUN Very good! The process is a good one for a later application, however, because I did the diligent deed already yesterday, by hand. It was not too hard, for I did hundreds of files in small batches, and cleaned house in between. I am certain more questions are coming up. Look for a new ...

CHET-NUN means mercy.

Your regular exp. is working perfectly to change Scripture citations, but it also is catching time signatures, such as hh:mm:ss.

I have to step through the search anyway, so it is not hard to skip those.

Thanks again, so much and
peace be with you.

CHET-NUN means grace.

Didn't I say I was busy?

Yes, I made a mistake in my first post. But I [edited] it.

Let me try your solution, and get back to you.

You guys are so bright! Thanks much.

CHET-NUN means grace.

I would like to change
a colon :
to a jot '
in citations only.

The replacement routine should leave this intact:

but make this
Exodus 20:3
look like this
Exodus 20'3

Is it do-able?

Peace and thanks for all the help.

CHET-NUN Thank you, Steve, for the response. I tried your suggestion a few times but was unsuccessful. It found every colon except the Scripture citations. You ask for example text. Here are some snippets from xhtml files. I hope this helps you help me. <div class="cquote">"Let your loins be girded ...

CHET-NUN Peace, my fellow TextPad workers. I am quite busy and full of other thoughts and am here with hopes someone more literate in regular expressions will give me instructions on how to change a colon : to a jot ' in a large number of mainly identically formatted xhtml files I will probably need ...

CHET-NUN O I see now. (when info looks complicated I skip it. That is why I had not noticed before) Tax forms, you know, are such a pain. Sometimes I sing through them... But the Document Classes are not so complex after all, now that I take a closer look. Thanks for the pointer and peace, J. Bekah

CHET-NUN (means grace) Is there a way to turn Word Wrap on for all documents in an editing session? I may open 25 files at once and would like to see the lines wrap by default in each. I have searched the TextPad options screens for this, but have yet to find a global or default line wrap choice ...

CHET-NUN Thank you for the help. The regular expression replacement suggestion worked great. But, I would add this caution: Select the text/code you want to remove the double spaces from, else you remove important whitespace from elsewhere in your file. My XHTML headers and footers are clearer when ...

C-H Peace to you, and thank you for the great tool, TextPad. I am wondering why every so often I open one of my hand-coded XHTML files to find it somehow has been double spaced. This offends my sense of aesthetics, and takes my time to return the file to normal, crisp single-spaced code. I am not a ...

Hi Textpad people,
I think I want to do the same thing as alg.
How do I include a newline in a replacement expression?
Thanks,
