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.
