skugler: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ok thanks...yes this was possible... but is it also possible to mark the different lines like Alt+Mouse and key in e.g. a letter or word and then this will be keyed in all selected lines? e.g. you have a statement and need a word in front of all lines or statements...now you only make a line over 30 statements and type in only one time this word but on each line the word or letter is written. in UE this is possible....:-) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't fully understand what exactly want, but have a look at these hints, maybe some of them would satisfy your needs :] - ctrl+shift+c = set selection mode to 'COLUMN' - ctrl+shift+n = set selection mode to 'NORMAL' - f8 = cursor: start of selection - f8 again = cursor: end of selection - you can do replacements within selection; this option is set automagically if you call ctrl+h dialogue while your selection spans across more lines) - there is quite fancy "insert text into lines" functionality (Main menu > Edit > Lines manipulation). Honestly, I've never used it, but maybe it would have saved me some global replacements. - if you are asking for 'discrete selection' (several selection 'islands'), PSPad cannot do this. - if you want to "add some string before all occurrences of another string", replace dialogue is your only friend. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,51481,56058> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
