Announcing XBN-PhraseExpress
Posted: Wed Sep 18, 2013 8:41 pm
XBN-PhraseExpress is a large set of generically-useful Microsoft Windows scripting tools, written in PhraseExpress, using the plain-text editor TextPad as its foundation.
Specifically, XBNPE gives your scripts direct access to each of TextPad's 332 built-in commands (FileOpen, SearchReplace, etc.). The original purpose of this library was to make my TextPad macros editable. That is, it would create, save, and then assign a key-command to each of your macros. Macro-creation functionality isn't there yet, but it's inevitable (it was there in much clunkier form--this is the foundation on which it will be rewritten).
I invite you to give it a try:

I've been working on this for two years, and personally use it in everything I do (Java, HTML, PhraseExpress, ...). I hope some might find it useful.
