Hi Simon,
Still awaiting your response!
Is there any further useful information that I could provide?
e.g. From the Windows registry?

Adding a header to a single file output (join all input files together) ?
Hi Simon, Currently, there seems to be no straightforward means to add a suitable header to a single file output (join all input files together). We have two Add header filters: Add file header Add restriction header but neither of these does what's required on its own! The difficulty is accentuated...

TextPipe Windows Shell extensions have disappeared from my Explorer Context Menu
I don't know when I last used one, but I tried just now to apply a Context Menu option to a text file, only to discover that the whole TextPipe Windows Shell Extensions menu was no longer listed when I did a right click. Any suggestions as to what might have happened? The whole table is still availa...

Re: Suggestion: Provide Unicode to Perl Escape Codes filter
As I use PCRE Perl Escape codes in a lot of my replace lists for TextPipe, I think I know what I'm talking about. 8) Also, btw, most ASCII characters never need to be converted to Perl Escape Codes for use in replace lists. Those should also be excluded if you do implement the suggestion as an inter...

Re: Suggestion: Provide Unicode to Perl Escape Codes filter
Dear Simon, The outputs are not proper Perl Escape codes that would be recognised by a PCRE replace filter. For codepoints beyond \xFF the should be {braces} around each character code! e.g. ðñòóôõö÷øùúûüýþÿ ĀāĂ㥹ĆćĈĉĊċČčĎď 𐀀𐀁𐀂𐀃𐀄𐀅𐀆𐀇𐀈𐀉𐀊𐀋𐀍𐀎𐀏 should convert to \xF0\xF1\xF2\xF3\xF4\xF5\xF6\xF7\xF8\xF9...

Re: Suggestion: Provide Unicode to Perl Escape Codes filter
No - that makes no sense to me! Perl Escape Codes for Unicode characters have a variable number of bytes, depending upon how each character is represented in UTF-8 . Squishing everything to 2 bytes would not work for their use in external character replacement list files (such as tab delimited), as ...

Re: Suggestion: Provide Unicode to Perl Escape Codes filter
Hi Simon, For codepoints 00-FF (in the ANSI range), the leading 00 should be omitted, e.g. \x{00A0} becomes simply \x{A0} because these are single byte characters. Many UTF-8 byte codes are more than 2 bytes! e.g. タ is \xEF\xBE\x80 And beyond the BMP , each Unicode character requires 4 bytes. So yes...

Re: Suggestion: Provide Unicode to Perl Escape Codes filter
Hi Simon, A filter list would be somewhat unwieldy ! It would need to have 143859 entries - one for each named character in Unicode 13.0 . Given that the outputs are eminently calculable, it would be simpler (and surely much less effort) to design two suitable internal filters. And using formulae fo...

Was it indeed fixed in version 11.6 ?

Re: Suggestion: Add left/right margin using external file or internal table
Hi Simon,
The illustrative example was highly specific yet I feel sure that the same concept could be very useful in other contexts.

What's new? still displays TextPipe v11.6
I just downloaded TextPipe v11.7
Then I clicked the link to http://www.datamystic.com/textpipe/whatsnew.html
only to discover that it still shows only what's new in v11.6
This needs to be fixed.

Re: Word documents to text / RTF
NB. The Help page for the Input filter needs to be updated to include "OpenOffice ODS, ODT, ODP" files. If you can process within ZIP files, it's also worth asking if TextPipe could be enhanced to process within .7z files? See https://www.7-zip.org/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Zip and many o...
