No time to dig into this right now, but I suspect that can be done with RegEx. May take more than one pass, but they could be combined with a macro....

Create a macro toboth insert the full name, and then use a RegEx to reduce it to the basic name.

When making configuration changes I find it best to follow these steps, especially for any changes in Classes: 1. Close all other copies of TextPad. 2. Close all open documents, INCLUDING THE DEFAULT NEW BLANK DOCUMENT. 3. Make the changes you want: Configure/Preferences/...... 4. Apply and OK your ...

About four or five years ago, a group of about five of us started to undertake that as a project. We had made some progress, but ran into some roadblocks that really needed Helios input, but we could not get what we needed. I don't recall the issues that caused us to stop, but it seemed to be ...

Make a maco to add the current file (a Favorite) to a text document list. Actually use a Library Clip vs. a text document. Macro to add current document to the Clip Library clip.

Have you tried using Tools to run the command lines? Macros calling paths from the Clip Library, and calling the Tools may do what you want.

Unfortunately when you record a macro in TextPad, the clipboard values are hard coded into the macro. You cannot use the macro process using different clipboard values each time. TextPad macros also cannot be edited. I use Macro Scheduler to do tasks like that. I use both Macro Scheduler and TextPad ...

A hot key cannot do S/R without knowing the S/R values. Must do this manually. Could make into a macro if need the same process repeatedly. Open the files that need the S/R From the Main Menu, click on Search, click on Replace In the Replace window: 1. fill in the Find what string 2. Fill in the ...

I use Macro Scheduler for tasks like that. The macros in Macro Scheduler can call a TextPad macro or perform the TextPad keystrokes itself. And the macros can be edited. Info available here: http://www.mjtnet.com/macro_scheduler_pro.htm TextPad and Macro Scheduler are my two "cannot live without ...

Thanks for looking over my shoulder, Ben.
You are right, of course, I misread the specs.

This works in TextPad: Search for: (.*)\n(.*)\n(.*)\n1 Replace with: \1\n\2\n\3\n5 The strings above changes from this: line 1 line 2 line 3 1 line 4 line 5 line 6 line 7 1 line 8 line 9 line 10 line 11 1 line 12 line 13 line 14 To this: line 1 line 2 line 3 5 line 4 line 5 line 6 line 7 5 line 8 ...

Does this help? When making configuration changes I find it best to follow these steps, especially for any changes in Classes: 1. Close all other copies of TextPad. 2.

Are you getting BOTH registry files?

Need CURRENT_USER and LOCAL_MACHINE values.

Is auto backup set? Configure/Preferences/Backup is where the settings are. If file has never been saved with a file name you will be prompted for a name. Once it has a name this will backup silently in the background. I generally use the name temp.txt so I always know it is OK to overwrite it, and ...
