using Tidy GUI wth TextPad v4.5

[Tom]

I am trying to use TidyGUI

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/ablavier/TidyGUI/

with Textpad v4.5

I found a reference in an earlier posting but i don't see the same same results

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Set up a tool as follows (changing whatever to suit your setup):

Command: C:\Tidy\tidy.exe
Parameters: -config C:\Tidy\TidyCfg.txt $File
Initial Folder: $FileDir

Tick "Capture output"

RE to Match output: ^line \([0-9]+\) column \([0-9]+\) -

I have this mapped to Alt-F9, one press and the file is tidied and the errors or results are displayed in another editing window. Double clicking on the error message results in a jump to the error in the file you are editing.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

On mine ,the "Capture output" and RE are dimmed out and can't be used.

Any tips on how to make these active ?


TIA

When you add the command, add it as a "DOS command" rather than a program

Tom,

TidyGUI is not Tidy.exe!

Which program are you trying to use? Tidy.exe is a command line program that is obtainable from http://tidy.sourceforge.net. It works well with TextPad and it is that program that you have the instructions for.
