The perfect solution.
and a teachable moment

Thanks Ben

Does anyone know how to edit Textpad macro's?
Having to re-record a macro to add changes is a huge pain.
I saw a seven year old post that said the macros cannot be edited but this can't still be true can it?

When the pattern of line one is ^[OAT][OAT][OAT]:
and pattern of line two is ^......13

I want to be able to concatenate line 1 to line 2:
eg:

OTA:
10/12/13

becomes:
OTA:10/13/13

I can do this in two steps but I'd like to do it in one

Hi,
I have a file with variable length records.
I want to adjust each record to make them all the same length
I'm trying to figure out is to how to insert spaces at the location infront of the last value on each line
xxxxxxx___yyyyy___zzz.zzz
xxxxxxx___yyyyyyyyyy___zzzz.zzz
xxxxxxx___yyyyyyyy ...

Coolio!
I was playing with:
(RESTORE|SAVE|whatever)(.*$)
/t/t/t/t/t/t/1/2)

Your's is more elegant.

Hi, this has most likely been asked, but I can't phrase the right query to find an answer:
I want to replace, SEND or RECEIVE or ... with \t\t\t\t\t\1
ie insert five tabs in front of any occurrence of multiple patterns

Sure thing:

before


data more data more data more data more data
data more data more data more data more data more data more data more data more data more data more data more data
data more data more data more data more data more data more data more data more data
data more data more data more ...

I want to be able to shift everything from position x to the end of the line , back to position x. using regex
This can be done with block mode; selecting everything after a certain position and then using the reduce indent button.

I have huge files that may have lines anywhere from 20 to 600 ...

Awsome, it worked very nicely.
Thanks

I have a list of keywords followed by data:

Date:1/25/2013 10:37:09 AM
Event ID:902
Task Category:None
Level:Information
Keywords:Classic
User:N/A

I want to move everything following the first colon to my tab location, (40)
select ^(.*:)(.*)
replace /1/t/2
This seemed to work until I realized ...

That was the solution I was hoping for.
Cheers!

I have a need to concatenate lines matching a pattern to be concatenated with the preceding line.
Example:

INPUT

Description: Process STORE.EXE (PID=3364).
(Server name | Roles | Enabled | Reachability.........
In-site:
servername1.local CDG 1 7 6 1 0 1 1 1 2
servername2.local CDG 1 7 7 1 0 1 1 7 ...
