Call TextPad to edit a file

textpad [ command_line_parameters ] [ filename ]

where command_line_parameters is a list of command line parameters for TextPad. (See internal on-line help for TextPad under Command Line Parameters).

Description

textpad calls the TextPad text editor, if this editor is installed on the user's system. The TextPad text editor is a powerful multi-purpose text editor, available under Microsoft Windows operating environments.

Technical note

textpad assumes that the path of the TextPad executable is stored in the global macro $TextPad_path, unless that macro is empty, in which case it assumes that the path of the TextPad executable is "c:\Program Files\TextPad 5\TextPad.exe". The user can set the global macro $TextPad_path in the user-profile file profile.do.

Examples

. textpad create1.do
