I might be being a little short-sighted...but is there a WORD-COUNT function in TP?

I see numbers down on the bottom of the window...however these seem to related to the LINE and CHARACTER number of that line.

Any way to swap these numbers for a WORD COUNT instead?

Thanks.

All of a sudden my textpad context menu item doesn't work.

I used to be able to highlight a load of html files, right click the collection and hit TEXTPAD, and they all used to get loaded up...

...now that no longer works?

Oh Nooooo.

Is there a way I can search and replace for certain tags that contain other text. e.g. HTML FILES have a <title> GOOSE DOG MONKEY </TITLE> tag. I need to search and replace this for ANOTHER title tag. Obviously one cant search/replace for <title> because that still leaves the other portion of the ...

Hi, I had a very similar problem not long ago. Where I needed unique content to be written, or certain words copied and pasted randomly through out a piece of text. Sadly textpad cant help you :cry: sorry. It would be nice if text pad had some sort of scripting capability, but it doesn't. I suggest ...

is it not possible to do a regular expression search and replace for the new line [\n]?

Or prehaps there is a control character there. If there is use the [[:cntrl:]] search and replace.

:oops: For those of you that read this thread...after YEARS! [more like a month or so! :P ] I found just the right program for 'automated content generation" it worked a treat... I spent a nice long time getting to grips with it and making it work. The VERY next day our product failed and all of a ...

I think it might just be me being thick. I have searched the forums but to no avail...so I have to open a new thread.

Is there a method of running a standard recorded macro over all the files currently open in the document selector?

Hope you can help.

Many thanks

Found IT! :lol: After much trying I discovered a tool that does this job....or as close as possible to it anyway. :P its called articlebot and is purchaseable off the internet site. however owing to a major security hole...you can actually get it free. Any one interested in knowing more...let me ...

Thanks talleyrand, That is a good idea but unfortunately it probably wouldn't work. You see the phrases are constantly changing...for each customer there are different phrases. So for the time taken to make a new clip library of each customers phrases and to do the relevant FIND/REPLACE function; it ...

I suppose what I am looking for, in its rawest description, is a method of presenting a piece of software with a list of 10-20 keyphrases, hitting a button, and thus generating a ream [6000 chars or more!] of textual content to use in the marketing. I've thought about this...generally the phrases ...

Ooooo! Interesting question. I write a lot of textual content for website descritions etc. It's a reall bal* Ache. :oops: Does anyone know of a tool / method to enable me to automatically generate some sort of generice description, based on certain templated sentences or something. I highly suspect ...

Apart from making separate clip libraries for each separate case, is there any way in text pad of colouring a set of words in any given document as a separate paragraph prehaps? These words could be found in the same document or maybe even in another document? I love text pad. It makes my life a ...
