I have a list part numbers I want to find in many files. The regular expression "|" is not working.

Use Posix regular expression syntax:
Configure | Preferences | Editor
[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax
Look in TextPad's help under
How to... | Find and Replace Text | Use Regular Expressions.

Can you post an example of the sort of data you are searching for?
"|" is actually a POSIX operator so you need to enable POSIX syntax in preferences.
Running TextPad 5.4 on Windows XP SP3 and on OS X 10.7 under VMWare or Crossover.
