Blimey, I completed forgot I posted this!
Sorry it's taken several years to post this but it looks like I forgot to say thanks - so thanks "Gan"! (better late than never! )

Hi Guys,

I've been using textpad for ages now and love it, but there's one tiny thing which has been bugging me for a while so I thought I'd still a post up to see if someone can help me....

When I do a "find" is there a way to change the colour of the bit that highlights the word - at the moment ...

Hi Ben,

Just a quick update on this - it seems that it works when I change the Character Encoding from the default to ISO-8859-1 - not sure why?

Hi Ben,

It's quite a big file and so I've reduced it to just 3 examples which hopefully should provide enough info?

I've tried adding it to this post, but the forum converts the encoding and so you may not get the same results - as a result, I've put a copy of the file up here ( http://www ...

Hi Ben,
Just a quickie to say that unfortunately that didn't work:

Here's the result I got back:


Character Encoding: windows-1252
Root folder: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\myfolder\xml
File Filter: myfile.xml
Regular Expression: true
Replacement Format: true
Match Case: false
Match Words: false ...

Hi Ben,

Thanks for that - I'll give it a shot when I get home tonight.

1 quick question - do I also need to remove the opening "(?:" and the closing ")" ?

I'm trying to do a find and replace to update some encoded characters but I can't seem to get it to work so I suspect I'd doing something wrong (but don't know what :oops: )

Here's what I'm using for the find command:

\<(?:(&shy ...

Hi,

How do I find this out as when I run the find/replace it just tells me how many updates were made - it doesn't seem to show me where it made the changes?

Am I looking in the wrong place / do I need to do something differently?

Hi ben_josephs,

I wonder if you may be able to help me with something, just following on from the posts above?

I've tried using the code suggested, and for the most part it seems to work fine.

However, for a couple of the things I am trying to replace I am getting some weird results.

For example ...

fab - thanks

Hi ben_josephs,

Just wanted to say that I tried your suggestion of:

Find what: <(tag1|tag2|tag3)>.*?</\1>
Replace with: [nothing]

... worked a treat - in fact, it worked even better than I had hoped (I expected I would have to declare each tag individually - I didn't realise that I could list ...

Hi ben_josephs,

Thanks for this, it's really helpful.

I'll check out wildedit and then give this a shot.

Hi All,

I'm new to this forum, and so first of all a quick apology if this question has already been asked / answered in this forum (I had a quick search and couldn't find the same scenario so I'll assume it's safe to continue :D )

I've been provided with an XML file from a third party which is ...
