Trouble with a 'find' macro when recording a new macro

[mp2010]

Hi all,

Per the manual, Textpad is able to record previously created macros into a new macro. However, I've run into a peculiar problem when attempting to do so.

I have created a very simple 'find' macro that searches through the current document for any"<img" tag. If such a line is detected, I've used basic keystrokes to select the entire line, and delete it. The macro is configured to repeat until the end of the file.

This works fine if no new macro is being recorded when executed. However, if I attempt to record a new macro and then execute the previously described 'find' macro, it will reach the point where no more matches are found and then display the error "Cannot find literal text '<img'". It then deletes the line it's at and this error cycle continues endlessly until no content is left on the page.

I would appreciate any advice to resolve this matter.

search for (regex)

Code: Select all

.*<img.*\n

and replace by nothing.
