ok, since were on the subject. How do I do this please? how do I run 2 searches at the same time. E.g. I want to find: inbound.*10.104.8.140 inbound.*10.104.9.17 I want to find ALL lines that have either inbound.*10.104.8.140 and inbound.*10.104.9.17 I know they will BOTH NOT be on the same line ...

I C, I C, said the blind man.

Just trying 2 b helpful, 4 others who might have been stuck w the similar situation.

Great Product!

Thanks Bob

I didn't need an OR, just the AND, as in BOTH words

I don't think it needs a thorough explaination. Just an example of the and, or differeneces. It took me all day to try to figure this out, and I still didn't figure it out until BJ helped me. "But the listing of symbols is pretty clear", but that's just it, it wasn't clear to me, I read, and re-read ...

Ok, Thanks Bob for answering that and clearing that up. per your suggestion, I went back to check the help file again, and no where does it give such example or explanation. the version I have is 5.0.3 I think something so basic should be put in the help file. I did put it in for a feature request ...

I have a feature request for something very simple to be put in the Help section. All I needed was to search for multiple or more than one word on the same line, at the same time. Meaning BOTH or AND, not EITHER or OR search. I went to the TextPad (TP) Help file, but no such example was given. I had ...

Thank you very much Ben, that worked! all I needed was this part inbound.*10.104.8.140 So the dot . is the (and separator), and the * asterics is the wild card to search for and match subsequent string. Funny how I looked that up in the Help file and it doesn't show it. I think I'll enter it as a ...

Ben not or, AND

I need to find them both on the same line.

Going through the syslogs and I I can find single items but not both on the same line

I can't seem to find 2 separate string of characters.

How do I do this? can some one help please?

I need to search for
inbound
10.104.8.140

I tried
"inbound" "10.104.8.140"
\inbound\ \10.104.8.140\

Thanks in advance

:D Problem solved. My hunch was correct, it was a bookmark to Paste buffer size problem. See my Syslog file is 850+MB for a 24 hour period. So the things I bookmarked are 30-40% of that, making it 350-400MB worth of bookmarks. So it exceeded the buffer for the EDIT/copy or cut/paste. Once I broke it ...

so If I'm correct,

what is the paste buffer size for Text Pad? just curious

and can it be changed/modified/upped to what I need?

any work arounds anybody can share?

Thanks again

I meant to say Bookmarked lines. or just bookmarks, not files.

:( I think I might know the cause. This is a VERY LARGE syslog file, I'm disseminating. 850MB. and the Bookmarked files are probably 30-405 of that. So that would be in the ball park of 300-400MB worth of bookmarks. So, is that my problem? it is TOO LARGE a size for the paste buffer? Thanks in ...

:( Bob, I tried what u said and it is greyed out there also. Originally, I tried to right click on the bookmark itself. Funny thing was it was NOT greyed out Before I did the copy other/bookmarks. After I did the copy, it got greyed out. Go figure. I can't paste anywhere, not even on the same page ...

I think I did, now I can't remember, I'll try it tomorrow at work,
I do remember, right clicking on the bookmark and seeing the paste, was greyed out.

I'll give it a shot tomorrow and get back,

Thanks in Advance
