Thanks. My previous editor handled this with regard to syntax highlighting so I was hoping it was simply an issue that could be corrected. Unfortunately, that editor had other unrelated issues that made it unstable in recent versions, so here I am evaluating other editors... Although removing the ...

I have a Perl script that uses the following substitution regex to replace double quotes with a backslash + double quote combo: (Since the backslash is not showing up in the code sample below after posting, I'm going to use a vertical bar in place of where the real code has a backslash.) $str =~ s ...

Thanks -- I'll give it a try.

In Perl a variable can begin with $, %, or @. If I double-click to select a variable name, it will include the "$" of "$myvar", but it won't get the "@" of "@myarray" or the "%" of "%myhash".

I'm assuming v6.5 uses the registry for its settings. I've updated the application to look for the HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Helios registry key, and if it exists, to export it (and its subkeys) to the export location. It is then restored to the registry of the target computer when importing with ...

Many times while working on a file, I want to save it so FileZilla will detect a change and re-upload it. Sometimes I just want to update the date/time on a file I'm editing for some reason. Currently, TextPad doesn't allow me to save a file using the bound Save key (Ctrl+S in my case) if it hasn't ...

Another way that this could be accomplished would be to have macro commands that expose the "clear search output window" (and clear tool output window for that matter) as well as one that simply opens the Find dialog. The second one (open the Find dialog) would also help me with the other suggestion ...

Here is a feature that I was able to "sort of" implement with a macro, but it's not quite the same as my last editor, and was a feature I liked a lot: When I press the bound "Find" (Search) key, it launches the "Find" window which is expected. The last search phrase is displayed as the text to find ...

I know this thread is old, but I would also very much like to see the highlighting of matching braces when the cursor is moved next to one of a matching pair. This was available in my last editor and I do miss it now. Forgive me if this feature has been added. I did look the various Preferences and ...

I would like to see an option to have the search results output window cleared automatically before each new search.

I performed the steps above and now when I start TP, the Explorer panel opens to one level above the specified folder. That is, if I have the Startup folder set to: c:/temp/source/perl, then the Explorer panel opens with c:/temp/source selected (highlighted) in the tree. I can't see the "perl ...

Thanks. I had that box checked so I unchecked it, saved preferences, closed TP, went back into FileZilla and opened a file from there, but the Explorer still starts with the FileZilla directory highlighted.

I just opened a file in TP from FileZilla while making some changes, but then the Explorer pane opens to the FileZilla folder. :( It would be great if the app had setting (either Preferences/Folders/Startup or a separate setting just for this pane) that could override this behavior and always show a ...

@amigojack: I tried the shortcut "Start In" and that worked -- thanks. Because that folder is so many levels deep in the drive tree hierarchy, that pane now needs to be very wide to show the files in it. It would be a cool feature to be able to specify a folder for Explorer pane and have it display ...

Happy to help. And honestly, I debated as to whether this was the proper place to post this!
