The below text is what appears in Text Pad when opening the index.php with Text Pad:
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php')
(fyi, this is what I want the text file to contain).

In REALITY, the real value of this specific line, related to wordpress is:
require('.wp-blog-header.php');

If I open the same file in notepad, wordpad or MSWord, the text is rendered as:
require('./wp-blog-header.php');


I derive the "real" value of the text in my index.php file by a) view it with notepad; b) view it with word pad; c) view it with MS Word; d) my word press site generates an error in apache's access log on this specific file and line number.

Each of these programs "claim" the value to be:
require('./wp-blog-header.php');

However, opening this file with Text Pad shows:
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');

I KNOW I AM NOT HALLUCINATING.

I have solved my problem with this (simply don't use Text Pad); however, I would like to use Text Pad. I like many of its features, but this situation is driving me crazy.

Probably not the appropriate forum for your post as this is for Enhancement suggestions. But now that I've posted here, only a mod can move it.

At any rate, are you certain that you are looking at the same file? Within TP, Right-click the background, select Properties and look at the full name. Actually, copy that Full name and then open notepad, hit Ctrl-O and paste that full path into the selector. What does the require line indicate?

Could Wordpress be doing some localization/relativization mumbo-jumbo to make the path look like it thinks it should? The reason I ask this is that TP doesn't really have the power to change the contents of a file or make it appear differently on disk without you typing away.
