It's a little known feature of TextPad called "perl".
In fact, it's become so popular that it's only available as a separate download from the main GUI version of TextPad (go to http://perl.org to check it out).
And also, due to its overwhelming popularity, it was invented several years before TextPad existed.
Well, TextPad is a text editor. It has lots of other nice features like regular expression search/replace, file diffs, keyboard macros, etc.Flink wrote:What do you mean?
