Macro to convert Unicode to ANSI for multiple files

Post by LarryWFox »

I'm trying to create a macro that will SAVE AS (F12) a file, changing the "Encoding" to "ANSI". I have multiple files open in TextPad, so it needs to be repeatable. My last action recorded in the macro is <ctrl><tab> to advance to the next file.

My problem is the macro records the filename, so every file is saved to the original filename I used when recording the macro. How do I solve this problem?

Way back in version 4.X on XP, I had a working macro that did this correctly, but I lost it when I replaced my old PC with a new one, Windows 7, and TextPad 5.4.

Thanks,
The Fox
