Hi all,

I (also) have a MacBook now. No need to say that I like it a lot - a lot more in fact than the Windows based I used a lot before.
And while I'll continue to use the Windows laptop for some things, all development related things already moved over to the Mac. It's mostly Subversion, Ruby ...

Hi,

did you check the box before "Regular Expression" in the search dialog?

Have a nice weekend

Hi,

hmmm, my (cordful ;)) optical Logitech mouse operates like so:

Within Firebird clicking with the mouse wheel gives me the circle-and-arrors cursor to move around in the document. This works with many other applications in the same way.

Within TextPad this kind of moving/navigating doesn't ...

Certainly does. I'll have a look at it asap. Thanks a bunch!

Great to hear that. That reminds me of something I forgot: The Ruby community is friendly, polite and helpful.
Out and over.

Regarding Ruby & Cyqwin. Are both these tools alive and kicking?
Don't know much about histor, errr, Cygwin but I think it's alive since the latest DLL is from "Nov 11 2004". See http://www.cygwin.com/

Ruby is certainly alive :arrow: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/

I'd recommend Ruby on pretty much every OS, be it OX X, Linux, other unixoides or Windows of whatever flavour...

Ruyb is really easy to learn, the community is extremly friendly, polite and helpful.

Hi, Would like to start Textpad from a command script and execute a macro on a textfile and then exit textpad. The user should not have to do anything else than to initiate the execution by starting the command script. Is this possible with Textpad? Depending on what you try to accomplish, running ...

Hi,

when it comes to repeatedly manipulating text files (and in many places per file) I recommend a language which is capable of doing that.
Perl, Python and Ruby (in alphabetical order...) are examples of languages that can di that (and a lot more!).

Personally I prefer Ruby for serveral reasons ...

Hi,

whatever the file (type) you can certainly search for anything, 2002 for example or The year after they got contact .
Now in many binary files strings are stored, well, as strings. For example you should be able to find the string "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" in almost every Win ...

I can't 'judge' WildEdit - I use Ruby for that kind of jobs...

Let me be the first to offer you my congrats! Yes. I second that.
Is it just me or is TP473 starting up faster, esp. with those little every day web/txt files? Well, it seems to be faster here too.

And on to my nagging. I know that ...

Hi Darren,

if you can use Alt+Tab to switch programs other than TextPad, I'd guess it's TextPad related one way ot other.

You might have changed the keyboard settings to let Alt+Tab do something other than switch to the next program window.
To check this do the following
Open textPad
Go to ...

Hi David,

if you have TextPad already installed (and I assume you do since you seem to be interested in purchasing a license), read the part of the help which is titeld "Purchasing ans Licensing Agreement".
The text is pretty clear about it.

Hope that helps

Having started programming with You-Know-What myself, I don't recommend any flavour of Basic.

What I do recommend is a language which

Goto:

Follow the treeview along the path

In the "Parameters" group you and tailor the header and footer text.

How did you manage to get that text into your header line anyway?
I'm pretty sure that it's not the default of TextPad ...

Hi,
..., and I would like to filter it so that only e-mail addresses for our domain remain in the file, i.e.:

<anyusername>@outdomain.com

There are lots of other addresses and other text either side of what I want to filter out....

Any suggestions/tips please?

Thanks,
Marcel
