/simple = 46
Joe

Have you got an example of its use? I just get an empty window which disappears promptly.

I only noticed that the TPIPE debugger is /simple=46 from the help file, but I never tried it.

Trying it here, I get the same results as you.

Looking at the TextPipe help page, I think it is supposed to look something like this;

Special Filters > Debug filter

Square brace is a special tag in regexps. You have to escape it.

'[' and ']' have not been used in a regexp in this thread.

This too.

vefatica@jj:~$ echo foo | sed -e 's/.*/prefix \0 postfix/g'
prefix foo postfix
vefatica@jj:~$ echo foo | sed -e 's/.*/[[ \0 ]]/g'
[[ foo ]]

But it gets all fouled up when I try to use it from windows. Below, the second is expected; the first seems wacky.

v:\> echo foo | (wsl sed -e 's/.*/[[ \0 ]]/g')
 ]]foo

v:\> echo foo | (wsl sed -e 's/.*/[[ \\0 ]]/g')
[[ \0 ]]

In

echo foo | sed -e 's/.*/[[ \0 ]]/g'

[[ \0 ]]

is not a regular expression. It is a replacement string (containing a reference to another string). '[' and ']' are not special there.

Oh, my bad. Sorry.
