I've created such a "dictionary syntax file" as you describe in addition to a tool that lets you easily add words to it!

This is a beta version: Please post feeback so I can fix it up and submit and official Add-On.

The batch file will only move to the next call when the previous one has finished. By deafult, the call is not "finished" until its instance of TextPad is both launched and closed . The fix is to preced the commands with cmd /c start "" @echo off cmd /c start "" textpad -m "E:\javaPackages\xag ...

Since TextPad doesn't have this feature now, I'm constantly going to the tab's content menu and clicking Close, but Print is TOO CLOSE to close and I alll-too-often end up having to dive to the printer to shut it off and then cancel the print job. You might be interested in the shareware FinePrint ...

If you don't mind having a program running in the background to achive this, then look at this: ;AutoIt 3.0.73 script named 'TextPadTitleBar.au3' for TextPad 4.71 While (1) ;infinite loop If WinExists("TextPad") $t = StringTrimLeft(WinGetTitle("TextPad -"), 10) ;removes 'TextPad - ' $t ...

This missing feature is bothering me, so I wrote a tool for TextPad. (It's crashed TextPad a few times, though--so use at your own risk.) Maybe someone will find it useful--until the feature I've requested becomes part of TextPad :D Script requires AutoIt3.exe from http://www.hiddensoft.com/autoit3 ...

Agreed!

Also, the text editor EditPad already supports drag-n-drop tabs, and I imagine other tabbed editors also do.

Sounds as if you need an inverse regular expression (i.e. everything but some well-defined stuff....) I concur that writing your own program is the way to go, but here's a tip from another post: 1) Create a regular expression for the address you want. I *think* it might be something like this ...

EDIT: yes you do need that checkbox checked An additional thing to try is to use the -m command line switch for your shortcut to TextPad. "C:\Program Files\TextPad\TextPad.exe" -m I set up my SendTo shortcut this way AND have "Allow multiple instances to run" UNchecked. This solution gives me the ...

If you indent blocks of code with tabs, then you can get similar behavior already in TextPad: View > Visible Spaces You may also want to go to Configure > Preferences > View then scroll down and uncheck the boxes for paragraphs and spaces. That said, I think your idea is really good and could easily ...

Sort of both.... Sorry if I was not clear. I am suggesting that when you go to Search/Replace, there should be an option under Scope for bookmaked lines. Search > Replace Scope: o Active document o Selected text o All documents o Bookmarked lines There could be a similar option for Search > Find ...

See subject line :-) Useful to me how: 1) Run some regular expression search to bookmark certain lines 2) Run some regular expression replace only on bookmark lines I had to write a Visual Basic program to accomplish what I wanted: If line contains a certain keyword Then Add an astrisk to the ...

I've written a program that does what you want, though it's not particularly efficient. (You may need to tweak the "sleep" statements if you are dealing with a lot of large files.) How to use it: 1. Download AutoIt3.exe from http://www.hiddensoft.com/autoit3/ 2. Save the following code in a file ...

Actually, you don't need to compile the script. You can create a user-defined tool that has: COMMAND == "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.exe" PARAMETER == "C:\MyFiles\MyCommentScript.au3" (where the file names are changed as appropriate). EDIT: This method (of not compiling my code) allows you to ...

EDIT: Feb 14. Lots of changes. Docs will be updated soon.... (Edited Nov 5 so script runs under AutoIt 3.0.73) Hello, I've written a program (which you assign to a user-defined tool) that comments out a block of code based on the file class. (You no longer have to define a macro for every ...

Hello, I searched the forums but didn't find a good match, so: I suggest having a toolbar button that lets you comment out a block of code based on the syntax definition file. For example, the button would do: // is inserted for Java files # is inserted for Perl files ; is inserted for MS Batch ...
