Regular Expression to match output

[Bill Tepe]

Can someone explain to me how to set up a regular expresion to match output to be able to jump to lines with errors from a clipper compile. Following is a sample of a compile when done with a Compile tool.

Also, can someone tell me what the Registers: File, Line and Column are used for in doing this.

I have Textpad 4.4.0 32 bit edition.

Thanks for your help... Bill

Bill,

Try setting the regular expression to:

^\([^(]+\)(\([0-9]+\))

This will save the filename in register 1 and the line number in register 2.
