A slow reply but hopefully this will be useful.

This displays all the results of searching for a strink in the Tool Output window, clicking any of the results there will jump to that line.

This is invaluable for quickly jumping to all places something is assigned in a file, but can also be used to ...

"Do you have document tabs turned on (View > Document Tabs)? You need to turn them off if you want to tile documents from the Document Selector"

That was it, normal service restored now.

If I select two tiles in the document selector I can't right click -> Tile Vertically.

I use this quite a bit so it's frustrating.

I see in the release notes for 7.2.0 "The context menu commands to tile documents selected in the Document Selector didn't work in the 64-bit ...

Actually, if I'd read the sticky at the top of the forum I'd have quickly answered my own question!

What an eejit.

I've had a couple of invaluable tools set up in Textpad for ~ 13 years.

I've just bought and installed TP8 on a new PC but my two tools don't work,
I'm getting an error "Cannot jump to the item under the cursor ...

I've had to re-install textpad in a PC after a rebuild and am only realising how much I rely on this when I haven't re-installed it yet.

The textpad developers mustn't have tried this yet or it would have ...

Skye,

Looking at all your posts asking for help about regexps, I'd say
you'd probably be better off having a look at Perl. It's designed
to do exactly the sort of things you're trying to do, and isn't
hard to pick up (if ...

I've just realised that my last configuration was
case sensitive.

If you want the search to be case in-sensitive use

Parameters = grep -n -i "$Selword" $File

The -i switch makes grep ignore cases.

I only wish that was true :?

Perl's not difficult to pick up. Some people seem to delight in writing
as obtuse Perl code as possible, but it's not big and it's not clever :cry ...

Thanks Guys,

I'm busy on something at the minute but will try these suggestions
later today if I can.

$Selword is exactly what I'm looking for, I suppose I should have
RTFM as they say :-(

I can write a Perl macro to extract the relevant lines easily enough,
and I might try a Windows grep to ...

I don't think that'll do it Keith, I'm hoping to extract line numbers
etc.

As I've posted in Enhancements, I've used an editor where every line
