yes, I did have 'match case' checked but I also had 'case sensitive replace' checked on the bottom which I believe was my problem

I have a simple 'find exactly' filter that is not working. I was wondering if there was something with single quotes from a mySQL dump that it is not allowing the replace:

Find: Replace With: somehow this is not doing it

I need to go back and re-read the chm file, must have overlooked that part - thanks

I was wondering if TextPipe returns some sort of exit code or success/failure codes when ran from the command line. I ask this because I want to be able to write a script that prompts me for the "files to be filtered" location and then proceeds to programmatically or dynamically build my command ...

DataMystic Support wrote: BTW - all these filters will run simultaneously. To run them in series (one after the other), you need to run TextPipe 4 times.

Wouldn't it be easier then to just include all of your filters into the same .fll file?

but my question is, how do I include the location of my files to filter?
ie: c:\my documents\*.*

where would that fit into all of this?

If we are including more than one filter in a batch file such as:
start /w textpipe.exe "/f=my special filter.fll" /g "/f=my special filter2.fll" /g "/f=my special filter3.fll" /g "/f=my special filter4.fll" /g /q

and we would like to apply a /z=commands.txt file what would be the correct syntax ...

I keep seeing this:

contained in some of my output files. I have never specified this as a replacement string and it is not contained in the raw, unfiltered text file anywhere. What could be causing this?

OK, thanks, I am starting to get the hang of this. During my evaluation, I have grown impressed with the power, speed and flexibility of TextPipe. I believe this may fit my needs very nicely once I upgrade. How does the Pro version handle under the pressure of filtering 500,000 to 1 million text ...

I'm sure there is an easypattern solution to this question but I am still working on determining how they work.

I want to take the following example string:

<br \><b>Expiration Date: </b>2006/03/05

and remove all instances of it, however, the dates are all different. So, is there some sort of ...

I see, is there any way to tell textpipe to remove EVERYTHING between the designated tags no matter what is already present .... or, replace EVERYTHING between the tags with <something>?

I may be wrong but this looks like it installs many keys to the registry, especially HKCU keys. There seems to be a substantial dependence on the registry with HKCU and HKCR although the dependence on the SystemFolder is negligible.

Yes, the FAQ listed at the link you provided. The filters I am referring to are these three:

How can I search and replace within <form>...</form> tags?
How can I search and replace everything after a particular character?
How can I search and replace everything before a particular character ...

I, too would have use for such a feature if it was available

what's the difference? white spaces? carriage return? Syntax? sorry for the questions but I am trying to be more self sufficient (teach me to fish scenario here...)

Also, I tried out using some of the filters you listed in your FAQ such as remove everything from the right of a tag, remove ...
