[name redacted] your introduction seems to imply that it's OK to modify and reuse this code. Maybe it would be a good idea to make an explicit statement to that effect next to the (c) notice (this being a Wiki, I could add such a statement, but somehow it doesn't seem right :-) ).ulis In short: yes you can. See Who owns the content on this Wiki. The used licence, NOL, means: No Obligation Licence. For you, as for me.([name redacted]) : I know I can, but in many cases we shouldn't make modifications. For instance, editing the terms of use of someone else's source code qualifies as evil for me. Thanks for the clarification, I wasn't familiar with the acronym, NOL.ulis Sorry for the misunderstanding: I don't speak english and have to survive with that. And yes the ability(?) given to everybody to change the content of the Wiki has some moral limits (we are between gentlemen ;^)).LV well, gentlebeans anyways...
!Help wanted- I am trying to run FindWords.tcl on Text Pad 4.4.0 and it simply does not react. I am doing something wrong. What? Please contact me at IKDA-IG55@gmx.net. Thanks. JGL
Dear ulis, thank you for your prompt answer.I have received your mail, but I cannot answer you per mail, I get mail deamon failure notices:Sender_address_rejected:_unauthorized_senderso I will put my answer & question here:
> > Please send me more information about your trouble with FindWords. > > Did you have difficulties following the installation instructions?Yes, I think so.Maybe I don't understand:
> - Commands = <the path of wish> > - Parameters = <the path of this file> $File "$Sel" > - Initial folder = $FileDirand
> - Modify FindWords.cfg > exec = <script to execute to go to the word> (where you can have to set the DDEOPN32.EXE path)
My Textpad is in:
C:\Text\TextPad\TextPad.exeThe DDEOPN32.EXE is in:
C:\Text\TextPad\SYSTEM\DDEOPN32.EXEThe tcl and cfg are in:
C:\Text\TextPad\Extras\FindWord\FindWords.tcl C:\Text\TextPad\Extras\FindWord\FindWords.cfg(This is not my standard clip library - the other tcls are elsewhere)I have opened /Configure/Preferences/Tools/Add/Programm and addedC:\Text\TextPad\SYSTEM\DDEOPN32.EXE
ulis: you needed to put here the path of wish (the Tcl/Tk interpreter), something like: C:/Program Files/Tcl/bin/wish.exeandC:\Text\TextPad\Extras\FindWord\FindWords.tcl $File "$Sel" as parameter
ulis: this seems correct, you needed to put: C:/Text/TextPad/Extras/FindWord/FindWords.tcl $File "$Sel"I do not really know what to do with the FindWords.cfg
ulis: you only have to insure that DDEOPN32.EXE can be called with the exec line(I have tried changing
exec = exec DDEOPN32.EXE Textpad"%FileName%(%Line%,%Char%)" to
exec = exec C:\Text\TextPad\SYSTEM\DDEOPN32.EXETextpad "%FileName%(%Line%,%Char%)"
ulis: this seems correct, you needed to put: exec = exec C:/Text/TextPad/SYSTEM/DDEOPN32.EXE TextPad "%FileName%(%Line%,%Char%)"but with no effect)or what else I should change.
> > Did you tried to use a newer version of TextPad? > Last version is 4.7.3.Not yet. Is that the reason?
ulis: no, I think not. > > Which OS are you using?Windows 98OK thanks I'll try once moreJGL
TF: In your post above you refer to C:/Program Files/Tcl/bin/wish.exe path. Where can we find a version of this file for download?TF: I found one in the end, suitable for installation on Windows XP - 'http://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/languages/tcl/win41b3.exe'ulis: The version you donwloaded is outdated and might not work with my script. The official Tcl/Tk page is http://www.tcl.tk/ . To download a binary version of Tcl/Tk for Windows, follow one of the links:
