Nonsense. That's what I thought. Then I tried editing the Netbackup batch code manually (without macros) in the same way I do with Notepad and sure-enough. Netbackup would not use it. I won't pretend that Netbackup is a robust, will engineered, easy-to-use product, but I'm stuck with it.

I was ...

Thanks, that seems to work, though it doesn't solve my problem.

I am editing some Netbackup command files with a textpad macro to save me a whole lot of typing an typos in restoring a whole bunch of databases backed up by Netbackup.

When I run them, nothing happens. Our local Netbackup expert ...

I'm looking through my regex doc and trying to figure out how to elimiate nondisplayable characters except spaces and carriage return.

I'm not having any luck. I figured I could change all spaces to some wierd combination of letters. Then do the same for carriage return. Then if I could just null ...

I created a macro that works well. I want to tell somebody else how to do it, but I can't remember what's in it. Textpad doesn't seem to have a way to edit a macro. Is there any way to figure out what commands I put in there?

Umm... This is, I believe, a How-To forum for Textpad (Right? Not Right?). I asked how to do something in Textpad. This is not the right forum? Where else, pray, might one ask such a question?

Question 2: "Sort" and "Move-things-manually-one-item-at-a-time-and-one-slot-at-a-time" aren't quite the ...

I have created a bunch of Textpad Macros. I'm looking at the list, but it's hard to find the one I want because they are not listed by name alphabetically. I figure there must be an option somewhere to make this happen, but I can't find it.

How is this done?

I have reduced a log file a great deal using Textpad commands.
What I have now has many similar lines still to eliminate.

I want to walk through the file, select a substring of each line,
remember it, move to the next line and compare the same character
numbers. If the two substrings are the same ...

Turned out not to be a Textpad issue.

I had the Portrait part set up correctly. But I also had the paper size set to 11x17 (not letter). The printer didn't have 11x17 in it and should have refused to print, but it didn't. It said, "well, I'll just pretend I have 11x17 paper and print 2 little ...

using Textpad v 4.7.3
I found a couple threads on this subject from 2003. Both times the problem was solved by using Configure/Preferences to set the default print orientation. One of them had very specific instructions. They are:
From Main Menu:
Configure, Preferences,
Left click on the Plus ...

This is goodness. Thanks. I am not a Textpad guru. Where can I find documentation on [[:space:]] and /n and similar useful stuff?

What is the easiest way to split all lines into individual words, all in a list (one word per line), then sort them?

I can manage the list part (with some difficulty) and everything LOOKS LIKE it is a list with one word per line, but it won't sort that way (probably because it isn't REALLY separate ...
