I'm feeling lucky

A commandline option to Textpad that create a "search in files" and automaticly opens up the first match.


I have a flowchart of all my functions in another program and it's possible for me to execute a program from each of my squares in the flowchart.

By having a function like this I will be able to use my flowchart to navigate to my functions and subfunctions.

I made my self a workaround.

I saved the search result from a number of keyword searches to a file and then created a a VB script that takes a keyword as argument.

The script the searches the search-result-text-file and finds the file and row for my function/keyword and starts Textpad with them as argument.

I will need to update the search result file every now and then to get Textpad to find the exact starting position.

Here is the code if anyone else is interested.

Paste the text below in Notepad and save it as FindTextPadKeyword.vbs
Change the value for TargetFileLocation and TextPadExe
Do a Search in files from Textpad with the "In folder"-field set to same value as TargetFileLocation and save it as Search Results.txt in same place as the vbs-file (not on TargetFileLocation)

Good luck
