jedit and notepad++ have plugins. I tried and gave up on both of them>

I could not duplicate the error you are getting as I don't get any error message. I am using xp sp2 textpad 5.1. What kind of memory stick where you using? Did it have U3 on it? I don't have one of those to test with. Do you have admin rights on the p.c? They have security cranked up real tight on m...

Hi
I'm looking for an encryption/decryption tool that I can run in Textpad.

I'm hoping some kind soul will have already figured this one out and will be willing to share.

thanks

I'm running Textpad 5.03 on windows XP.
I have no problem with Textpad taking a long time to shut down.
I presently have about 30 files open and it is taking textpad less than a second to close.

Textpad does not support autocomplete as the term is usually used. There are some workarounds. 1) clip library. This comes built in to Textpad. Try it first. 2) clipboard extender programs These will enable you to store clips as well. Textpad has some limited built-in functionality here. I use a pro...

Thanks tom.

I'll give it a try.

I need to convert several text files into Palm ebook (pdb) format.
I want to use textpad as the editor but I have not yet found a palm "compiler" that will work as a tool in textpad.

Has anybody else already figured out how to do this yet?

many thanks

Textpad does not support plug-ins.
If you post more detailed information about what your issue is then perhaps another solution may be found.

sounds like you forgot to enable regular expression in the conditions menu in the bottom left of the replace dialog screen.

hope this helps

I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM AFTER I GOT A NEW P.C. SO I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS CAUSING WHAT.

THANKS AGAIN

I'm wondering if anybody else has noticed this problem.

I have a couple of long clips and when I mouse over these clips the "ballon help" strobes making the clip impossible to read. My many short clips are fine.

the clips in question are 46 lines and 78 lines long.

i assume you are asking hoq to comment out a block of text in textpad. try this: ( it assumes that the # is the comment char) Configure > Block Select Mode - Ctrl+Q,B Select a block, one column wide, using mouse or keyboard. Menu > Edit > Fill Block (brings up dialog box) Fill character: # Format: L...

this works for me:

search for: ^\n

replace with: nothing (leave blank)

this assumes the line is empty, that is no spaces tabs etc.

I was looking for a horizontal ruler as well.

Then I started to use the column indicator in the status bar.

I get along quite well now without the horizontal ruler.

Your needs may differ from mine but I thought I would mention this as an option.

config preferences loads fine here. About 1/2 second if that. TP 5.02

W2000, SP4, 2ghz, 512 ram, pent 4.

I do recall that that the first time I opened config pref in 5.0 it was slooow. After that first time it has opened just fine.
