Please Help: How to edit a workspace file

[Khalid Lateef]

Hi,

Need help from experts on this forum. My question(s):

Is it possible to use textpad for safely editing and saving a workspace file?

I need to edit directory path strings in the tws file with new directory structure. This way I won't loose all the workspace files moved from my old computer.

For opening such a file in textpad what kind of file type "file format" and "encoding should be used?

Would you recommend some other editing tool if textpad is not suitable for this purpose.

Thanks for the help.

Khalid

Make a safety copy of the textpad workspace file,
then open it (make sure text-mode is activated in file open box).
Do your path replacements
safe it.
Check with some diff tool (I can recommend Examdiff Pro, available at http://www.nisnevich.com/examdiff/examdiffpro.htm) and see for yourself whether anything beside the paths was changed.
I just tried this and nothing else was changed.
But I can't give a guarantee.
