In ver 5 i added my external tool as a "DOS command", so that in the tool spec window, the Command was shown as cmd.exe in gray (not changeable). I added my Paramters as "perl -S blah blah...." My regular expression is ^\([0-9]+\):\([0-9]+\): I can still do that, and i can invoke the tool, and it ...

I'll try that. Thanks. Meanwhile, i attempted to delete the tool. In the tool list it appeared as the whole command string: "perl blah blah blah". When i highlighted it and hit my Delete key i got a Windows pop-up that Textpad failed and had to close. I tried again, same result. I renamed it to ...

I have a tool that outputs lines like: 0004:057: # Purpose: Tex....... 0023:034: blah blah...... ... where the first two tokens are line and col number.

Hi ben and Mud,

"parenthesized" and "backreferences"

I ran into those issues this morning, came here to edit my post, but found you guys were all over it. Thanks!

Do you mean a regex that will match across a newline? try \n

abc
def
abc
ghi

so "abc\ndef" will match line 1-2, but not 3-4
and "abc\n.*\nab" will match line 1, 2, and part of 3

Or do i misunderstand your issue?

If you have perl installed then this following script will work. It will find all instances of the selected text in the current file. # # TP-Find-All-In-Current-File.pl # # Purpose: TextPad tool to FindAll in current file for the current selected text # This is like the built-in TextPad Find-In ...
