Hi there,

Copying a word next to exclamation mark will highlight the exclamation mark as well. This often leads (for me) to buggy code when editing a C or Java code.

I quess this fuctionality is a result of some earlier 'enhancement' so I suggest that this highlighting could work differently depengin on TextPad document class. I my opinion the exclamation mark should not be highlighted at all.

Cheers,

Could it be that you have the ! in the "Other characters in words"
under Configure - Preferences - Document Classes - Your Document Class - Syntax?

For me, the ! is only selected with a word if the ! is in the "Other characters in words"...

No, there is only underscore '_'.

This enhancemant is (for me)
--- Important, even if the size/efficiency of TextPad increases/degrades

Check the syntax file, maybe the ! is somewhere in there where it should not be...

'!' mark is in operator chars set only and that is ok... strange... does anybody enle have the same problem?

Hmm... now it works ok fro me too!

So... this thread can now be removed from the Enhancement Suggestions list.

Final note - I think JDevelepoer caused the problem since it occasionally confuses certain special characters (in that case JDevelper must be restarted).

Thanks for comments anyway.
