Here's an abbreviated list of parenthetical lists. I tried and failed to use an RE to delete averything except those lists beginning with (10, resulting in (10 a b)(10 c d)(10 e f) etc. Any suggestions? tcebob code (38 . 0.0) (39 . 0.0) (10 16.497 3.71905) (40 . 0.0) (41 . 0.0) (42 . 0.0) (10 16.308 ...

Because I am lazy, I set up a macro to find the highlighted string. Set for "Down" and "Wrap searches." Ok, it works down just fine. but, having found the last occurrance, it refuses to wrap. If I run the same search from the Find command it goes 'round and 'round like I want. tcebob

Thanks, Pete.

Does anyone have Clip Libraries to share? If there is enough interest perhaps another forum for the purpose would be useful. Maybe make a combined Macro-Clip forum? Right now, I'm looking for a conversions library, e.g. mm-inch, grams to ounces, furlongs to fathoms, etc. I'll do it and post it if ...

Yes. But you need a macro.

go to previous bookmark
go to next bookmark, extend selection

Not the best -- can't get rid of the temporary bookmark.

Preferences/General has Reload Last Workspace at Startup checked, but the program comes up blank and I need to select the workspace from the Files menu. Is this a bug or have I missed something? When closing TextPad, any files other than those in the workspace are added to it, which I don't want. Is ...

I have an ever-expanding file of Vlisp program functions. Each function begins with (defun --short for define function. Sometimes I screw around with one or another and, woops, make a mistake or delete something I shouldn't. This file loads every time Autocad starts up. Or tries to but quits at the ...

Well, this is a case of evolution. I started by isolating all the commas, in hopes of counting them by a recursive binary replacement (of 16s then 8s, etc.) with specified numbers. Like this: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,,,,,,,,,,,, (27) 16:,,,,,,,,.,,,, 16:8:,,,, 16:8:4:0:0: Not sure how I would add everything ...

Here's what I have so far. Needs more work

________
f: ([^,],) find anything but a comma followed by a comma
r; \1*\i* replace with same string plus *sequence no.*

Pretty neat; to bad it doesn't work in TP. But it gives me an idea to follow up on. Thanks,

The following is a font shape description for Autocad: *042,46,ucb 2,14,8,(-7,-21),1,8,(0,21),090,8,(3,-1),01E,02D,02C,02B,01A,8,(-3,-1),2,098,1, 090,8,(3,-1),01E,02D,03C,02B,01A,8,(-3,-1),098,2,8,(21,0),14,8,(-14,-10),0 The 46 in the header represents the number of vector descriptions in the body ...

As far as I know, no. But I use a coding procedure that at least makes it easier to review the macro and set up changes. It's pretty simple. Here's a sample: (lisp uses parentheses to separate functions. Arguments to functions can be functions, too. So a line might look like (+ (fun1(fun2)) (fin3 ...

Search for ^.*[^done]{4}[ \t]*\n (Notice the space before the \t.) Replace with nothing. Be sure the replacement line does not have any spaces. This will also find "node" "edon" etc. but that doesn't seem to be a problem here. Now if someone steps forward to tell us how to search for not a word he ...

If you want to simply count ()s ctl-m will work fine. But if you hope to check that they are in the right places I think you are out of luck. Maybe someone has written an equation parser. Try Google. But I think that is beyond the macro capabilities of TP.

Good luck,

I need to append some words to the clipboard and paste it into a document. But before and after the clipboard should be cleared. Best I can do is copy in a space, which seems a bit kludgy. Is there a simpler way?
