I posted this a while ago. It's as close as I can get. Position the cursor anywhere in a line and run the macro. Balancing )'s will be added to the end of the line (and before a comment beginning with ;). Script for BalParenOnLine 1 ;;from a place in the line 2 <h><h>......;;go to begin line 3 (f ...

View - Document Properties does not save the properties. Next time you have to reset them again. It would seem feasible to set up an Exceptions file which would include the filename and an abbreviated list of settings, and have the program refer to it when opening a file. Or are there other ways ...

If you mosey on down to the TextPad/User directory and find the macro file you can rename it as you wish. The program will complain that it can't find the original one but click on through. Then go to Setup/Macros. NOTE: the files will be shown as Display Name, not File Name, so you need to select ...

By all means, download a copy of Michael Puckett's exhaustive VLISP6.SYN. Updated to 2006. Very complete.

Stay wit' me, kid, I'll make a contendah of you. Actually, s_reynisson's suggestion worked. Even though I don't (yet) have a copy of 2006 I will download your latest.

Elegant. I thought I tried it along the way, but guess not. But. . . Here's what happens when there's a bug in the soup: (("non" . 0)( "end" . 1)("mid "" . 2)[/code] Starting after "end" the next hit is the "" after mid. Why do you suppose it skips over "mid"? Thanks, tcebob

I'd like to find the next quoted item -- any pair of quotes enclosing anything or nothing. Except for another quote, of course. My effort is:

"[[:print:]^"]+"\|""

Which doesn't work.

so, a) how to do it? and b) can \| be repeated to make more than 2 alternates?

tcebob

Sure. It worked. I wrongly assumed that all syntax definitions were in the syntax file. In my defence, the other characters in words box was populated by an underline, which, all by itself, in Windows' tiny default font, looked like a hyphen. Many thanks.

Michael's exhaustive Vlisp syntax file is terriffic. Just recently, though, the syntax for words with hyphens has failed. So such expressions as (vlax-ename->vla-object obj) remain uncolored. Perhaps it is confusing the hyphen for a minus? Or a hyphen is construed to be a word separator? I have ...

Here's a script for a macro that adds the right number of balancing parens at the end of a line. Good for lisp, particularly. It does not parse the code to find where extra parens actually belong. That's why we have programmers. You should be able to decipher the little codes, like <h> for <home> or ...

Would like to see the cursor after Find ^ or $. Presently have to turn off the Find dialog to see it.

tcebob

Oh.

I overlooked that.

Thanks,

No direct way do do it? I can make a macro to copy it to the clipboard, paste it to a new file and saveas "Test.txt." But I cannot terminate the macro before entering a name, so it overwrites the previous "test.txt." Also cannot think of a way to re-enter the original file (which is number 2 on the ...

Or . . . Click the T icon on the left of the title bar.

Here's an outline suggestion: 1. Set up a new Document Class for this need 2. Be sure the screen and print font is monospaced. (I find that Monospac821BT works really well.) 3. Set tab spacing according to your needs. 4. Make a macro to replace all comma-followed-by-any-number-of-spaces with comma ...
