( [~/] was obviously a typo and was supposed to be [^/] ) I see. I must be assuming either that the input text will be constrained to a single line at a time, or that the [^\] expression will not match newlines, or both. I must've adopted that misconception because . does not match newline characte...

[^/] matches exactly one character that is not a / I know. I first found the bug because I was using [~/]$ and it kept matching line 4. It was only after I discovered that adding a . in front of it gave correct results on PC that I got confused and started thinking that maybe [~/] could match an em...

3 regular expression bugs matching '$' in PC vs UNIX files?

(Please ignore this first example and see the corrected example in the 4th post from Wed Dec 24, 2014 10:13 am) Create the following 5 line file (last line is empty): line 1/ line 2 line 4/ And save 2 copies of it, one as file type "PC" and one as "UNIX". BUG #1 Use the this reg...

I'm pretty sure this is a bug. I searched the forums before posting and saw that advice repeatedly, but it does not apply. 1) the command works from preferences, which means it could find plumb.exe in that context. The error only occurs with the "Run..." dialog. 2) I did verify that I'm r...

Error 267 opening pipe to PLUMB.EXE (TP 7.0.9 on Win7 64bit)

I've been using TP forever, but this is the first time I've tried to run an external tool. If I configure the following tool in preferences, it works correctly: "C:\Users\IBM_ADMIN\Documents\Sandbox\Visual Studio Projects\rndpw\Debug\rndpw.exe" 12 12 But if I try to tun it with the Tools /...

work around works, but is not a fix

That's a handy work around (much better than exiting and restarting), but is not a "fix". A fix would be to not open the dialog off screen in the first place.

next/prev search or bookmark not visible with large file?

Working with a large (500MB / 10,000,000 lines) text file, and using either find next or mark all then next bookmark, sometimes the selection will be many lines (30+?) below the bottom of the visible window. So after hitting <CTRL>-F or <F2>, you then have to scroll down a page before the selection ...

find dialog outside screen borders

I'm using the latest TP 5.3.1 and this is still not fixed. I know it sounds like a minor issue, but it is pretty annoying, and should be simple to fix.

Error Dialog: "Encountered an improper argument."

I've been using textpad for a very long time (since v3?) and this is the first real bug I've encountered, and it's WEIRD! I'm editing an ANSI, UNIX file in word wrap mode . The input carat is at the end of line 24 of 1710 at column 264. The immediately preceeding characters are "... .paramFile&...

Mniimize command not enabled for MDI child windows in v5.x

I am also frustrated that the minimize box is grayed/disabled for MDI windows in TextPad 5. The main reason I needed this functionality was to be able to tile/arrange a subset of open windows by minimizing the ones I did not want displayed. But after searching the forums, I found a couple posts of i...

Show bookmarked lines only

I registered for the forum just to request a feature to view only bookmarked lines - and it fits right in with this topic. Bookmarks would support the "show matching regexp" feature requested ealier (using "Mark all matching"), while still being customizable to arbitrary lines, a...
