All memo fields (multi-line text fields) and edit fields that support
patterns also provide a menu item for Insert Custom Pattern. The patterns from
this list are user-defined, and come from the file custom_patterns.txt in the
same folder as TextPipe.exe.
The format for this file is as follows:
- Comments can be placed on lines beginning with a semi colon
- Blank lines are ignored
- A pattern is introduced by a line beginning with '#'. The remainder of
this line provides the pattern name which appears in the menu
- All lines after the pattern name, up to a line starting with ###END###,
are treated as part of a pattern.
Here is an example custom_patterns.txt file:
;User-Defined Patterns
;
;custom_patterns.txt - saved in TextPipe's folder (the same folder
;as where textpipe.exe resides)
;
;These patterns can be inserted from the right-click or context menu on
;any TextPipe field that supports patterns
