Yes, you're right. I should have said inserting the item into a document by double clicking. Sorry for any confusion.

Selecting the item and then pressing Ctrl-C does not copy it to the clipboard.

I upgraded to TextPad 9. Now I can't copy from the Clip Library. When I right click on a Clip Library item, the Copy command is grayed out. I have to paste the item into a document and then copy from there. All the Clip Library items and Clip Books seem to be intact. I could copy from the Clip ...

I would expect [a-z] to match only those characters in the set and thus would not expect it to match A-Z. This has caused me much confusion.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought [:lower:] is the POSIX usage. It's supported in TextPad 8.2.0, 64-bit.

The character class [a-z] matches all letters except when the Match case box is checked. I would expect it to find only lower case letters. Here is the example text: A a B b C c Here is my RE, Match case was not checked: ^[a-z] When I do a Find All, all the lines are marked. Why does it happen this ...

That did it. Thank you very much.

The Find in Files function is not working. After I enter the search text, file name wildcards and search folder and then click Find, nothing happens. The dialog doesn't change and there are no results. The search doesn't seem to get initiated. The search text is just plain text, no regular ...

Sorry, I forgot to mention this.

When I replace the lines one by one, it works. When I replace all it doesn't work. The file is a large file and single replacement would take a long time.

I just tried that. It didn't work. I got the same result as in my example. Thanks anyway.

I'm using Win7 32-bit. This is a company machine, so I can't switch to 64-bit.

I'm using TextPad 7.0.9. I want to delete lines that begin with a tab. My RE is deleting every other line instead of every line. What's bothering me is that it works when I step through the text deleting each line by line. It doesn't work when I do replace all. My file is too large to replace each ...

Thanks, MudGuard. That worked. The Help contents need to be updated, though.

I don't have the option to customize any toolbars in TextPad. I used this command sequence: View menu | Toolbars The only options I see are the options to display the various toolbars, Standard, File, etc. I don't see the option to customize any toolbars. I know I once was able to customize the ...

I have a number of dates, 1 per line, in descending order. I would like to sort them in ascending order. When I select the seemingly logical "numeric" sorting things come out funny, but when I select "case sensitive" or "case insensitive" everything is fine. There are only about 145 dates so far, so ...

I believe this is the expected, though annoying, behavior. If you do not have any text selected and perform a Search and Replace, TextPad highlights the found text. This allows you to confirm each replacement individually. When there is a selection, the selected text is highlighted and there is no ...
