---------------
The new {EDIT, Convert, Flat to CSV} function is quite elaborate (1600 line macro) which is based on our EBCDIC conversion macro.
I still plan to add Christian's "TABFIX" macro as a "CSV to Flat" function.
The latest Unicode conversion macros are included. Thank you again for everyone work on these. :-))
The new vshellx.dll (first and only DLL so far) implements the long requested "open with VEDIT" function for all files in Explorer.
I increased the number of tab stops in the Windows version to 129, but I should probably go to 256 to match Excel's max # of fields.
The max search/replace strings are now 1000 chars (previously 260).
Many of the macro submitted here are included - FILE-REN.VDM, DDIR-REC.VDM, B64-IN.VDM, B64-OUT.VDM. Please let me know if I missed something.
Hopefully, most of the recently reported bugs are fixed. Some obscure fixes are not mentioned in the veditlog.txt file. I will try to reply to each reported bug report tomorrow.
The regular expressions have been enhanced (and some bugs fixed).
Regular Search/replace regular expressions have been enhanced. The
Expressions "|" (OR) operator can now be used within "{...|...}" groups.
Also, "\b" anchors at any non-alphanumeric character. E.g.
the words mother, father, grandfather, grandmother would be
matched by: \b{mother|father|grand{mother|father}}\b
I haven't update the on-line help yet with all these changes, but will ASAP.
Ted.
