Double-click in "Command Results" does not jump to

Post by Rags »

- This worked when I first installed it, but it doesn't work now, I think since I installed the registration code but I'm not entirely certain. When I double-click an error the status bar says "Cannot jump to line" or some such. It's not a *horrible* problem 'cause the error conveniently tells me the file and line number; since I have line numbers turned on it's a pretty simple matter to locate the right line. But it would be *nice* if it would jump like it used to. (grin) BTW, jump works fine in "Search Results".
- I searched this forum and found numerous references to the ability to double-click & jump from both "Command Results" and "Search Results", but none where someone was not able to do that. Neither the FAQ nor Tips say anything about this problem.
- I only recently started using TextPad, but so far I'm very impressed with it. I use it for Java development; it loads faster, runs better, crashes less (it hasn't in two months), and has a *MUCH* smaller resource footprint than Visual Cafe (more resource-hungry than photoshop and windoze combined, i think). Good Form!
- Thanks for your time...

Hi Rags,

You surely have a tool or two customized to do compilation and stuff. In

Configure | Preferences

check the entry for "Tools" in the tree view. There should be a "Regular expression to match outout" panel where you can enter an apprpriate regex.


Now... check the help file for

"Regular Expressions to Match Compilation Errors"

In the Help screen click the "Search" tab, enter "Java" and click the above mentioned title.

There's a regex given that might work for you.
(I can't tell because I'm [currently] not using Java)

Hope that helped,

Stephan
