Hi, I use this program to record my keystrokes. Often, as I'm running in an emulator, I go back and make all Wait statement >.5. is there anyway of setting it to that , or do a replace all? ( Replace All wait* didn't work!). -Wilfred

Have you tried using Regular Expressions? TextPad, a useful text editor, has built in RegEx functions and there is a syntax file for Macro Scheduler. I submitted a syntax file for version 7.2.038 that has additional information for color settings in the TextPad configuration.

This example (using POSIX format) will replace all of your "Wait>nnn.nnn" to "Wait>.5"
The next example is using an underscore "_" to represent a space character for visible clarity of the expression:

Search for:
(^Wait>)[.|0-9]*_*$
Replace with:
\1.5

I just did a test that replaced all of the following lines instantly with "Wait>.5":
Wait>.5
Wait>.02
Wait>3
Wait>4.5
Wait>.05
Wait>.009
Wait>12.345
Wait>123.4567

As I have noted before, Macro Scheduler and TextPad are my two favorite utilities. Cannot work without them. You can get free download of shareware from this link to TextPad.
