If you click the link "Help on this filter" at the bottom right of the Replace filter called Find pattern (perl style) , nothing happens anymore.

A few of the other Replace filters behave in the same manner.

Help for Find Exactly works.

Hi Simon, The clipboard copy of the Replace list filter omits a record of the tick-box option called " Only log when a replace occurs ". Please rectify this for the next release. Thanks . Best regards, David PS. It may be worth checking to see whether any other file export formats omit this too.

Consider for illustration purposes an input file containing only 10 lines. AFAICT, TextPipe field specifications UI numbers these lines as follows: Start End 1 -10 2 -9 3 -8 4 -7 5 -6 6 -5 7 -4 8 -3 9 -2 10 -1 OK ? Which lines (if any) would be processed under Restrict to lines : 6 .. -6 as the data...

One of my very old filters (made with the original UI) contains the subfilter that now displays as: Restrict to lines: 2 .. -1 As my original intention was merely to exclude line 1 , it's hard to understand why TextPipe v10.0 converted the sub-filter data to show the end line : -1 As I read the Help...

Hi Simon, The Restrict to lines filter help page includes: Specification The lines can be specified in a number of ways. See Field specifications. You can separate line numbers with spaces or commas, and ranges with .. 1. Start line, end line. This processes all lines including and between the speci...

Hey Simon,

It's now TextPipe v10.6.2 and Windows Shell Extensions still cannot be edited like they used to in TextPipe v9.9.x.

When are you going to fix this feature?

Best regards,

Hi Simon, When the Add line numbers filter is under a Restrict to pattern filter, the log line is wrong! Info 2018-02-19 16:41:23 66 replace(s) performed for pattern match [(###)] Info 2018-02-19 16:41:23 First line: [66] Last line: [66] Increment: [1] It should read: Info 2018-02-19 16:41:23 First ...

Hi Simon, Unlike the context menu, the Filter list ribbon lacks options for Move up/down ( at same level ). Being so accustomed to using the context menu for most things, I rarely use this ribbon, but having noticed these omissions last week, I thought it would be useful to bring to your attention. ...

The UI for the Replace filter : Custom-delimited record has no means to define the custom delimiter! To the right of the Find type selector, the UI displays "(from search field)Delimiter: Text qualifier:" but there's no edit field to set either of these. This is a poor show compared to the Restrict ...

Hi Simon,

If it's likely that it will take a lot of time and effort to fix the bugs in the Unicode Normalize filters, it would be preferable to disable them in the next release and restore them only after they have been properly fixed and thoroughly tested.

Best regards,

David

There's something critically wrong in the Normalize to NFD filter. It's far worse than reported in my previous comments. Here are some Latin letters with various diacritics: ÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉËÌÍÎÏÑÒÓÔÖØÙÚÛÜÝ àáâãäåçèéêëìíîïñòóôõöøùúûüýÿ ĀāĂ㥹ĆćĈĉĊċČčĎďĐđĒēĔĕĖėĘęĚěĜĝĞğ ĠġĢģĤĥĦħĨĩĪīĬĭĮįİĴĵĶķĹĺĻļĽľĿ With the ...

Unicode Normalization using TextPipe 10.6.2 still has critical problems. The filter Normalize to NFD completely removes some characters such as the following: U+0364 ͤ COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER E U+0365 ͥ COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER I U+036D ͭ COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER T This is totally unwa...

In the Help for TextPipe 10.6.2 , the page called "New features in this release" only covers up to 10.6.1 – December 17, 2017. Aside: At the foot of this help page you still find this: What's New in TextPipe – pending =========================================== * 64 bit Windows Explorer shell extens...

I tend to have at most three or four filters open at any one time. I'd usually only be developing one filter at a time. The others would be open either because they perform ancillary tasks (pre/post-processing) or if they contained subfilters I wanted to copy. Several text editors include options fo...
