heyas; okay, maybe not THE discovery of the century. but i just now accidentally discovered how to get editpad to replace text with a carriage return/line feed. do you know how sane i've been drivin, trying to get a text editor to replace "g part_material" with "g part" and "usemtl mat"?? on different lines!!! well.....!!!!!!!!! okay, its fairly simple. n in editpad's search thing means newline. so in my line "g bPart_mat" i would search for "_" and replace with "nusemtl " (remember the trailing space) okay, now who knew this and never told ME? because i have to hurt you....! ;) and you know how i found out? i was about to search for _ and use paste to paste in an enter, then usemtl . and since i had my newline and usemtl bit selected, editpad automatically put it in the search slot, but as "nusemtl ". total fluke.

Ouch!

But not all editors have the same coding for carriage return/line feed. In NoteTab its ^P.

Does noteab edit large ACSII files w/o word-wrap (or at least be able to turn it off?) Otherwise I'll just shove 'em onto my *ix box and use vi (Obligatory poke: emacs sux emacs sux... tee hee hee.)

Depends on the version. The free one is without word-wrap, for the others one can (dis)able it. File size is limited only by memory. PS: Tell me where you live. I bring some friends with with me and we show you the big advantages of emacs. PPS: There are some vi versions for windows.

bloodsong, Does how bad you'll hurt me depend on how long I've known about it? If so, I guess I'm in for it... I started using EditPad back in mid 98' when I first started mucking with the internals of obj and cr2 files. I stumbled onto it [n] just about the same way you did, a week after having it installed. You may also like to know that "t" is what EditPad uses for tabs (useful for manual cr2 editing). -Rob rbtwhiz.com

ach, rob! now where were you on any number of previous editpad (and other text editor) topics, where i was constantly bemoaning the inability of ANYthing to replace with special characters like return/enter, backspace, delete, etc etc? well, that's two things i need to hurt you for, now. but i dont have the heart to beat a man when he's down. when you feel better, i will! how's that? always something to look forward to, there. oh, i know! you and me and cooler can get together in chat, and i'll kick him as your stand-in. poor cooler, i haven't kicked him in ages... he likes that.
