Feature requests

I am thinking of continuing development of Win32Pad and adding a ton of new features.
I know that various features were suggested in various e-mails and postings. I will use
this forum to make a list of features that might make it into the next release(s).

What I like most about Win32Pad is its simplicity, speed and ability to handle large files.

Two things I have often wished for are:
1)Simple Line numbering
2)RegEx find/search/replace. A slick way of doing this would be a popup window showing RegEx matches and a link back to that line in the origional file.

Here is a link to a PCRE library for Win32 along with some other interresting GNU utilities ported to Win32:  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617&release_id=70307

1)Simple Line numbering

This one is almost done, still need to optimize it a bit and cleanup the code. I might post a screenshot of the current version sometime soon.

This might be more complex to implement since currently I am relying on RichEdit to do the searching. At this point this might be the last item on my list. I want to get the rest of the "regular" features in before I add anything of this sort.

I was thinking a few ideas for the next version...
I've seen this in many other Notepad substitutes: Have it  display how many times it found and replaced a string in the Find/Replace thing. LIke if it replaces "the" 10 times have it say "Replaced "the" 10 times." or something.
Also I get annoyed with the scroll button on my mouse scrolling down 3 lines at a time in Win32Pad, but I enjoy it in Internet Explorer. Maybe an option to scroll down X number of lines with the mouse button?
And maybe a Save As quick key? (like how Save has Ctrl+S, maybe a  keyboard shortcut for Save As)
Great program, btw. Use it at school  to substitute Notepad for Web Class :)

Hi
Please add Dos charset to this editor. Because I can't read dos txt files.I think a lot of people will agree with me that this feature is necessary.

Eugene,

You can use "Terminal" Font already with Win32Pad and it should have support for DOS
characters.

Sorry
But I can't view russian dos txt using terminal font:(.It works ok only in programs that have dos charset

For the most part you need to install a specific Windows Font to be able to view those files. Can you send me a sample (small) text file with the text and I'll see what I can dig up to get it working for you.
