+1 to what ? - "A unified commenter based on the syntax rule would be great" or - "I'd rather see Helios focus attention on places where enterprising users/abusers of their editor can't get to (see Jeffy's list)." or - both ... I should say here, that I completely agree on the above poster. Also ...

Thanks so much for this Ben / Bob ... it's beginning to look like it might be possible to get everything workable for TextPad. *But*, this does all lead to me to what seem to be some ultra-obvious questions : - TextPad has been around for a while, and I would wager that most users are technical (non ...

um ... i think you will see in my post above that I point out that %=' ARE allowed. I said that the others are not. Anyway man, it's just a different viewpoint. I totally respect that you like to work that way. I do thousands of CMD scripts and VBS scripts and it's never really a problem. I totally ...

>> This is my experience collected over many years of sharing files across various software and operating systems. I knew it ! :D As I said I thought your argument was for Unix reasons, and although 2 people said there was nothing Unix-like about your comment you make it clear with this and the ...

That's great Bob, thanks for that and I'll definitely use that when I'm doing JavaScript, but from what I understand of what you have helpfully explained is that this is completely useless for such code as VBScript ? i.e. VBScript requires a ' character at the start of the line, and there is no ...

Sure, Mudguard confirmed the problem, but also: "All other characters will give problems sooner or later." I didn't see what that was for. Kind of *instructional* to others on how they should do things. I never had a problem with other characters, but you are right, *I* was the one being sneery, and ...

Cheers for this Bob, I'm interested in doing this, but not getting it working yet. I can't really see the areas that you mean. i.e. in a clip library I have : !TITLE=VB Script Functions !SORT=Y !TEXT=Cbool ( ) Cbool(\^) ! !TEXT=CByte ( ) CByte(\^) ! for example, so what are the commands for the ...

Mudguard, would the world be a perfect place if everyone followed your rules of life ? Do you think that people are beneath you if they use the ampersand in a filename ? Personally, I *don't* think you are beneath me for choosing your rules for filenaming in a very old-fashioned unix-ite way. I've ...

Hi, I'm incredulous that this is not in TextPad. I wanted to recommend TextPad for use in the corporate where I work as some were using other editors, but I felt that TextPad is better. However, other editors offer block commenting / uncommenting. i.e you select a block of VBScript code and then ...

Hi, Here is a verifiable bug. Create a text file such as "Notes & Tips.txt" Now open it in TextPad. If you have tabs enabled the file displays as "Notes % Tips.txt" "&&&.txt" displays as "%%%.txt" etc. it's a totally minor thing. not even annoying really, but was a little confusing the first time ...
