Can I use TextPad from VBScript

[Tom Summers]

I use VBScript quite a bit to automate tasks. I use TextPad for everything else.

What I would like to do is use TextPad behind the VBScripts. Do you have a scriptable interface (also called a dual interface, or ActiveX) on TextPad that could be used to load files, jump to lines, search/select text and do something with it, call TextPad macros, etc.

I seem to spend a lot of time creating VBScript functions to manipulate text files.
VBScript has some internal problems if the files are large and I can do this type of thing a lot faster in TextPad... Also it would be nice to throw files to it during semi-automated scripts, then allow the user to mess with the file... then continue...

I have a rather clunky interface that builds command lines and runs them, but I would like a more interactive interface that works cleaner...

I searched through the help (maybe I didn't use the right terms)... and didn't find any VBScript questions here... so I decided to ask before firing up OLE View and exploring...
Many thanks, sure like your editor
