I've recorded a macro that selects ([X] Extend selection) UP from the cursor through the previous tag, finding this REGEX:
<[^>]+>
When recording, it works just fine. But nothing happens when I play it back. I've saved it and assigned a key-command to it, but still nothing happens when I trigger it. Same result when restarting TextPad.
I've used this macro a LOT in the past, but it has been a few months.
I would appreciate any help in getting this macro to work again. Thank you!
REGEX works okay, but macro using it does nothing

TP 7 Macro issues
I have a similiar problem using a macro. I select an entire line (shift+end), F8 and replace with a space in all open files. Works as expected when used manually. The macro version only moves cursor the the line end.
Based on other posts it seems that both regex and macro implementations are buggy. Since I use these functions extensively this greatly reduces the usefulness of TP as a tool. Like Mordachai's post; I may have go to other editors. I too have been a paying customer for well over 10 years.
