I had to restrain myself from bashing 5.0 in my first post. Like many others I was quite disappointed with the lack of new features in this release. Couldn't we at least have expected some new XP/Vista:ish icons?? Eh? It's not even very stable. The first time I ran it, it crashed. It's only some ...

Textpad 5.0 discussion

Textpad 4.73 crashed on me today. I could hardly believe it. It rarely does. However, now I can't help but wondering ... could it be fate? This little accident prompted me to come here, just to see if the much anticipated update had come. Of course I kind of knew that it hadn't. After more than 2 ...

What is your setting for Configure - Preferences - Editor - Automatically terminate the last line of the file? Does it make a difference if you change it? It is unchecked. And if I check it, the problem persists. So, no difference. I don't think this problem should have anything to do with ...

Bug: Textpad adding empty lines at end of file when saving

I think I have found something I would call a bug in the most recent version of TextPad (4.7.3). When saving certain text files an unwarranted extra blank line is added to the end of the file. Steps to reproduce 1) Make sure line numbers are displayed (Configure > Preferences > View > [x] Line ...

Don't think that is possible with TextPad 4. I guess you need to look for a text editor which uses regular expressions for defining syntax coloring schemes. Personally, I only know of one editor that does, and it's created by JGSoft. But of course, there may be others as well.

If Textpad is not sufficient for you, use something else... this isn't marriage, you can cheat on TextPad and still come back anytime you like, no hard feelings. :-) Hmm. Maybe that's just it!? People here have such a strong emotional connection with Textpad that they do experience hard feelings ...

This is one of the reasons why I love TextPad. I am using TextPad to wiew NFO-files the way you want to do (I think). All you need to do is: - get and install a font suitable for displaying extended ASCII art - set up a NFO/DIZ character class in TextPad and tell it to use the font from the first ...

Re: ASP/ASP.NET

maybe I should close this & start a new thread in another forum. Yes, perhaps you should... ;-) I'll just try to answer briefly, as good as I can, since you asked. Note that I have NO experience with ASP.NET and perhaps I really shouldn't answer at all. I do anyway. 1) I believe so. I am under the ...

Ouch, that doesn't sound like fun work... For searching and replacing across multiple files you might want to try Helios WildEdit . It's only €24 and a trial is available. I would personally put all the lyrics into a database and use ASP to pull it out and present it within an exchangable html tem ...

As for ASP resources, the one I really rely (heavily) upon is the Microsoft Windows Script V5.6 Documentation . It's perhaps not an ASP resource per se but rather a VBScript/JScript language reference. The help file also includes a FileSystemObject reference and some other stuff. However, I'm still ...

This is another great resource for learning regular expressions: http://www.regular-expressions.info/ If you think regular expressions seems intimidating (they can be) you might want to try RegexBuddy which is (kind of) a visual tool for crafting regular expressions.

Re: Not 'Broken'

TextPad is not 'broken' given that we all continue to use it everyday. You are right. I was just thinking of all those annoying "don't fix it if it's not broken" comments that pops up everywhere in the forums and wanted to address them in some way. I don't really think TextPad is broken - it's ...

Being able to order document tabs by the means of drag-n-drop is, once you get used to it, difficult to live without. I really hope this feature will be available in the next version of TextPad. Opera has it but I had to install a plugin to get in Firefox. As for text editors, EditPad Pro and ...

I have been looking for a TextPad replacement for quite some time but I always find that I have become so accustomed to the TextPad specific features that I become frustrated and can't work efficiently with other editors. Also, trying another editor is a lot of work and hassle so I haven't really ...
