When you read/open the file.. line lenght.. I can only read 4089.. is there a limit?

Longer lines are just not displayed/truncated.. without any warning.

I just created a file of 10 lines, each of 1,000,000 characters, closed it, opened it, edited it, closed it, opened it.

It's slow--very slow--but all the text is there.

This is version 5.2.1.

I am using latest version of Textpad too..
Interesting.. I am not able to view file with line len longer then 4089, if the file was created outside of textpad (actually on z/OS and FTPed to PC)

I am able to edit it, and to add more then 4089 in any normal file..
I can provide you file, if you want to test on mine (I understanf you are supporting textpad product, or develop it?)

Thx

Where did you get 5.2.1?

On the download page, I only see (and only have installed) 5.2.0.

Ah, I'm not sure. It might be a development version sent to me by Helios. If so, the difference between it and the one on the web site is unlikely to be significant. Sorry for the confusion.
