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 ...

The new SourceForge project can be found here:

Anyone interested in contributing to the project (code authors, testers, documentation specialists) or just *using* the project, please send me a PM on this board, or an email to textpadeclipse [at ...

I've been checking this forum (and the TextPad website in general) once a week for about a year and a half now. And, in that time, it's become glaringly obvious that the Helios staff prefers to work behind closed doors, without giving even the tiniest peek into what plans they have for the future ...

Yeah, I'm using eclipse a lot these days, too. Its refactoring features are indispensable for editing Java code.

But I still find myself wanting the basic basic stuff that TextPad provides so elegantly. Like CONTROL-u and CONTROL-l for upper/lower-casing text. Damn, that's handy. It'd also be nice ...

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.

Curses. I've been foiled by s_reynisson's superior intellect.

Just wait till next time....

You can do it in the Search/Replace window, using...

Find : +ADD_DATE="[[:digit:]]+" LAST_VISIT="[[:digit:]]+" LAST_MODIFIED="[[:digit:]]+"

Replace :
(i.e., leave the replace field blank)

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

Hope that ...

Great!!

Then please vote for a Linux version of TextPad here:

Try this for the line number insertion:

Find: ^
Replace: \i(1)

i have taken to useing replace (replacing it with the same word) so that the files that DO have instances will show as unsaved... the downside to this of coarse is that i loose the CASE of the word to whatever i used as replace, and if i select match case, it will not show the ones that don't... so ...

I'd be willing to accept an xml file format for TP settings, as long as TP uses a very basic, non-dtd-validating, xml parser. A basic basic basic xml parser is easy to build, and won't add to much to TextPad's code footprint.

But, adding a dtd-validating, DOM Level 3 complaint xml parser to TP ...

Glad you think so too. A lot of us are really pulling for this feature in the next major release of TP. To show your support, vote on this thread:

Methinks they want to keep WildEdit seperate, so people will buy it...
Good point.

But, for me, if all I want to do is batch-replace through hundreds of files (without seeing them in an editor), I'll just write a quickie perl script (or a perl one-liner). WildEdit, as its own product, has zero ...
