I am currently using TextPad Version 5.4.2.

I want to purchase a license and upgrade to the current version of TextPad (Version 8.8.1, 13-Jun-2021), and I had a few questions.

1.) I expected to first upgrade to Version 6.5.0, then to Version 7.6.4, and finally to Version 8.8.1 . Is that ...

In reading the specification for editorconfig, it states:

EditorConfig files are read top to bottom and the most recent rules found take precedence.

So given a .editorconfig file of:

[*.cpp]
tab_width=4

[lib/**.cpp]
tab_width=2

and a file named:

c:/app/lib/source/main.cpp

I would ...

The "Stay on top" problem has been mentioned many times, but the search function on the forum is not the best and it isn't indexed in Google, so it's understandable that you didn't find it. You probably toggled the setting on inadvertently by right-clicking the TextPad button on the taskbar and ...

You could take a "snapshot" of the Textpad configuration file (files) and use it to overwrite the Textpad configuration files whenever you re-boot, or by running a batch/script as needed. Similarly, any settings stored in the registry could be restored by importing .REG files as needed.

I don't ...

I am currently using Textpad 5.4.2 on fully updated Windows 7 Home Premium x64.

I want to update to the current version of Textpad (7.0.9), but I want to do it carefully so I don't loose any preference settings and customizations. Should I update to Textpad v 6.2.2 then to v 7.0.9, or do I need to ...

EDIT: I should mention that my workspaces gets cleared to zero files often, and I believe it happens when, after I've rebooted and FAILED to reattached a shared drive, I load the workspace. So the issue is that when TP can't load the files listed in the .tws file it removes them and saves the ...

... replace "\(.*\)" with "some text including \1;" did work.
Now (version 7.0.4) the corresponding regexp, "(.*)", causes TP to hang ...

It's unclear if it's hanging when you click R eplace , or Replace N ext , or Replace A ll .

Either way, this does seem wrong.

With Textpad 5.4.2:

Hi ben

... Now try replacing ([^e]*) with [$1] . The behaviour is entirely analogous. Thus TextPad 7 is consistent in this respect.

In Old TextPad, replacing ([^e]*) with [\1] behaved exactly as replacing ([^e]*) with [$1] does in TextPad 7. ...

I haven't tried Textpad 7 yet (I will, soon ...

I had a similar problem previously.

To begin with, I would save (export) a section of the registry. Then I would edit it with Textpad and save it. Then, if I would try to "import" the edited file back into the registry using the registry editor, the import would fail with complaints that the file ...

I have been using Textpad V 5.3.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium x64.

Starting yesterday (18-Oct-2013), Textpad began staying on top of all other program windows (topmost window). I can switch to any other program window and the other programs behave properly, but the window for any other program ...

Ähm, I'm knowing the usage of google to get the meaning of "non greedy regular expression". But my question was not "Can you explain me the meaning of..." but also "why does my replacement succeed, while you said it wont, because of non-greedy operations".

Its not important to know because my ...

I used a different email address to send from and that bounced to. When was the last time you tried to email them?

See below:


"This message was created automatically by the mail system (ecelerity).

recipients. This is a ...

ps: I think the search needs to include the ". We are looking for ">. The searches I have defined below include the quote-mark (") along with the data-type as in:
Search: "(>)(<Data ss:Type="String "> [^<]*</Data>)(</Cell>)"

So, to be clear:

Hi jlassell,

From looking at your starting text: Starting text:
----------------
<Expression>ajjb ;aeif j;; =
jot aldi addoao
flda- ee=10200 </Expression>

I see a discrepancy with your ending text...

You say it should look like this: <Expression>ajjb ;aeif j;; = jot aldi addo aoflda-ee=10200 ...

Assuming all the lines in the file look like the line you have shown in the example, then this should work:

If the data (file content) looks like this:
<Data ss:Type="String">Abc</Data></Cell><Cell ss:StyleID="ce2"><Data ss:Type="Number">1975<.../...>
<Data ss:Type="String">Robert Shaw Atlanta ...
