List of Open Documents

I am writing a tool using a combination of Windows batch scripting, Python and Visual C# and I was wondering if it is possible to get the list of files currently open. I realize that there is no macro ($file, etc). Is there any way by any means?

Thanks,
Ben

From the Edit menu, choose Copy Other/All File Names.

I hope this helps.

Thank you, that is a way that it can be done. I will have to use some Windows API to get focus back to TextPad (fortunately I have the window's handle) and then do some key simulation (I can put that function on a Hot key). It is a bit more work and risky than I was hoping, but I'll take what I can get,

thank you.
