It turns out that even if your default encoding on save is UTF-8, clip library files must be saved as ANSI. All is now well.

What are the allowed entries for the CHARSET? I'm trying to legitimize a clip library which includes things like curly quotes. If I say "DEFAULT," when I click on the "LeftSingleQuote" entry, it shows up on my text as ‘ instead of ‘

The alteration wasn't obvious to me, I'm afraid. I can do a few things with regular expressions, RegEx 101 level. This stuff seems to be a lot higher level.

A thousand thanks.

I've discovered I need to do the same gig as for curly quotes with straight quotes. Any suggestions? BTW, the curly quote regex is backed up on my systems. I occasionally look at it and mutter "My precious."

Thank you. Once I got specialchars.tcl saved in ANSI coding, it worked like a charm. I also noticed the differences between how you did it and how I did it. I'll be using that information in future changes and new clips.

I'm trying to create a clip library which will let me quickly enter some special characters I use frequently so I don't have to set the numlock key on and hit alt+0147 or some other combo. However, I keep getting error messages.

Here's what I've got so far, and it blows up on line 8, according to ...

Thank you, Mike. I did that, but was hoping there was an easier way to get "canned" stuff into the finder field. Possibly up the line there will be a way to mark certain "find" entries as favorites. Meanwhile, this gets my work done.

I've got a small collection of Regular Expressions, and I'd like to be able to save them in a library where I can click on them and have them immediately entered as the "Find what:".

Is there any way to set this up so I don't have to load the RegEx into a separate file, and copy/paste that into ...

I get a fair number of false positives, but then, I do for american-style typesetting, too.

This is gorgeous and will be a great timesaver.

You, sir, are a wizard, and I thank you.

Unlike we Yanks, the Brits use single quotes to delimit dialogue. This poses a challenge for detecting unbalanced quotemarks in their books. The following two paragraphs illustate both a line with genuinely unbalanced quotes and one where the word "I'll" also includes a single quote which should be ...

I didn't know that. [grin] It looked like a capital-B.

Thank you.

I must say, IMHO, the new RegEx engine supersedes sliced bread for utility.

I re-checked the source text I was using and discovered that all the accented characters had already been changed to "?" because that's what textpad does when the default display font doesn't support accented characters. I changed the default font to Courier New and the accented/non-english ...

I'm trying to generate a list of all the unique words in a text. Basic approach is to change anything that's NOT a hyphen, single-quote mark (both straight and curly), a "word character" or a digit into a "newline character, and then sort the list with case-sensitivity turned on and deletion of ...

I checked the latest RegEx out in 7.0.4. No problems.

It passed RegEx Buddy in Perl mode with flying colors. I also just tried it on the earlier file that caused problems and a new text I just received. It worked beautifully in both cases.

Thank you.
