i assume you are asking hoq to comment out a block of text in textpad.

try this: ( it assumes that the # is the comment char)

Configure > Block Select Mode - Ctrl+Q,B

Select a block, one column wide, using mouse or keyboard.

Menu > Edit > Fill Block (brings up dialog box)
Fill character: #
Format: Left align
Fill mode: Replace
OK



remember you can't go into block mode is word wrap is on.

there are also some addins on the download page that may help depending on what language you are using

I suspect that a macro containg a regex s&r would also work but you did not specify which programming language you are using

If that's what the original poster meant, this will do it:

Select the lines to be commented.
Then Search | Replace...

Find what: ^
Replace with: #

[X] Regular expression

Replace All

You might insert VHDL comment symbols at the beginnings of lines with

Find what: ^
Replace with: --

[X] Regular expression

Replace All

and remove them with

Find what: ^--
Replace with: [nothing]

[X] Regular expression

Replace All

Yes. I just tried it. Do the instructions in TextPad's help under How to... | Use Keystroke Macros not work for you?
