Find/replace crashes Textpad

Post by woodsrw »

I'm having this same exact problem. I have upgraded to the latest version of txtpad.

There is no error message, it just closes the program.

If the search or replacement text is longer than 1024 characters, this is due to a known bug in XP, which TextPad 4.7.1 works around by not allowing longer strings. Otherwise, please can you be more specific: what exactly is your initial text, and what are you searching for and replacing with?
