Spell Correcting

Hi guys, Sorry, your spell corrector is not so great. Here's a better algorithm: the most common typos are to have a letter wrong at one position, to drop a letter at one position, to add a superfluous letter at one position, or to exchange two adjacent letters.

Bug report: replace over all documents

1. Open a bunch of documents.

2. Select some text in a few of the documents.

3. Do a replace across all open documents.

On those documents where text has been selected, the search will only go over the selected text, not the entire document.

Thanks, that worked. I was trusting the column count at the bottom of the textpad window; it reported 24 columns was enough. You're right, it took 45 columns to include the year.

Here's the same data, \t -> \$ The sort command above should put these into ascending order by year. It doesn't. I am getting the sort by manufacturer, sub sort by cc's, then sub-sub sort by model name, but the year is random. We sort on (1 manufacturer) (2 engine displacement) (3 model name, but ...

bug report: text justification on HTML files

Hi guys, I'm a licensed, paid user of Textpad v5.3. When I hit "reformat" on an HTML file, you guys are willing to put line breaks before any "<". Since this could be the start of a <sup> or <sub> in a math expression, a space is not allowable here. mark@calsci.com
