I just sent an email to support@textpad.com with a syntax file contribution, but the mail server rejected it with the message "Mail appears to be unsolicited"

LOL

Here's the content of my email message:

Hello.

I'd like to contribute the attached TP syntax definition file, for the D programming ...

The File Find/Replace dialogues are only horizontally resizeable. Sure, it means you can fit a little bit more text into the dropdown boxes. But I think we'd all rather have a vertically-resizable dialogue, with text-area widgets, so that we can fit multi-line regexps in the "Find what" field.

It's ...

At the end of the installation wizard, I checked the box to "Launch application". When TextPad 5 started, I got an error message that said:

Error accessing 'C:Program Files\TextPad 4\System\TEXT.SYN' C:Program Files\TextPad 4\System\TEXT.SYN was not found.

I'll continue reporting more bugs, as I ...

If you use the "view in browser" feature of TextPad on a file that has been recently saved, the URL will look normal. But if you haven't saved your file, then TextPad sends a temporary version of the file (with the tp prefix) to the browser, so that it doesn't overwrite your saved version.

Make sure that the "Regular Expression" box is checked, and then click the "Replace All" button.

Hope that ...

Yes, but keep in mind that TextPad and WildEdit use different recognisers, and their notions of search string and replacement string are rather different.
Possibly even populates the search and replace fields with the last search and replace in the TP search and replace dialog
That may be true ...

It looks like the multi-line regular expressions are working correctly.

So, with an expression like this (which can be used to remove duplicate lines from a non-sorted file):

Search Expression: \n(.+)\n(.*\n)?\1
Replacement Expression: \n$1\n$2\n

It works pretty well. (Or, at least, it works ...

In the WildEdit user interface, the control-z command performs undo operations within the WildEdit search-text and replacement-text controls. So, if I accidentally wipe out a long, complex regex that I've been typing, I can get it back using control-z

That's nice.

But the undo command, in the Edit ...

After clicking in the Document Selector to select a document, the focus is usually transferred to the document that was selected. BUT, if the document has been changed by another application, and TextPad has to refresh that document, then the focus remains in the Document Selector. At that point, if ...
