AkelPad

Hello,

I’m a new AkelPad user (I discovered it via the Total Commander forum) and I’d like to ask if it’s possible to pass a search term to AkelPad when opening a file.
For example, I want AkelPad to open a file and automatically highlight the searched word.
I’m using Everything to find files containing specific content, and I want to open them directly in AkelPad.

I'm trying something like this..
But AkelPad asks me if I want to create the file instead.

Soll die neue Datei C:\tcmd\plugins\wlx\TCAkelPad\AkelPad64\,search:) erstellt werden?

Thank you in advance!

For example:

Thank you for your response

I have read the AkelPad4 - Help ..
But I can not to figure out how i can pass a Term to them.
I'm not a programmer.
The nearest solution i became is something like this:

C:\tcmd\plugins\wlx\TCAkelPad\AkelPad64\AkelPad.exe /Command(4158)

Did you try to run my example?
The part '<h3>Command line parameters</h3>' is the "find what" term. You can replace it with any string you want.

Okay, now I understand, and I managed to get it working — thank you very much for the tip.

Hi,
I wanted to ask if it is possible to use the clipboard content as a search value,
for example to search for the clipboard text inside a file.
I have tried many different ways, but unfortunately it doesn’t work.

Thank you in advance!

I haven't succeeded as well.
From the "AkelPad\AkelFiles\Docs\Scripts-Eng.txt", the `AkelPad.GetClipboardText()` should do the job, but I could not make it work from the command line. Maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks to Instructor, here is the version that works:

Sorry for the late reply.
