(Thank to both of you for making me laugh in these dire times!)

Filtering, etc in Text Edit Plus (19$ but free again (as often) today; by Vovsoft)

It has (menu) Tools - Find Lines:
with Text - Generate word List (which may be helpful indeed, but how to get back to the text then? By closing the program, then reopen the file? Well, that’s certainly ‘n’just my stupidity… see below…)

It has (menu) Text - Filter Lines:
with: Using File, Using Text*, Using Characters, Using Text Length.
*=here, Unwanted Text is default, so you set it to Wanted Text.
Then, Contains / Starts with / Ends with, and
Case sensitive Y/N
Obviously, this all seems to be quite/very helpful (depending upon if you own EmEditor or not that is)
My problems:

- The crazy developer or crazy reviewer phenomenon, since obviously, one of us must be nuts:
All the filtered lines in-between then were not just filtered out, but appeared as blank lines, so you easily imagine the look of a 1,000 lines text of which 990 lines are filtered: lots of scrolling to get from 1 remaining line to the next, and it’s beyond me how you would “work” on that filter result

- Similar to my problem above, I haven’t found a way to display all lines again, except for closing the program, then reopen the file.

Btw, I trialed Text Edit Plus a fortnite ago, before writing about filtering here, so perhaps that was v. 11.595 or something, and today’s v. 11.6 doesn’t behave that crazy anymore, or I just had a very bad day… (Needless to say that the help doesn’t help with this…)
. .
. Apple:
- MiniPad: Seems for the high price you also get some psychedelic effect (mainly?) upon scrolling… which is allegedly not as beautifully impressive from one device to the other, and some people relate that the device in the AppleStore came without, whilst the one they then bought there showed the psychedelic effect very beutifull and intensely, so they were very happy after-buy; the customers, pardon, believers, who wanted a device similar to the one in the shop though, were allegedly told the psychedelic effect was included in the price, so they had better bought by mail-order, in order to have a look first’n'themselves, then decide, within the legal fortnite for decision within the EU, if they were happy or not…

- BasicPad: Here, the same remark re mailorder purchase vs. getting too much smoke (or was it incense?) in blessed JobsShop applies, since just some months ago, when the EU had decided mobile devices should finally come with standard cable connectors, somebody had commented Apple would certainly find a way to comply with that rule and bugger the believers all the same… an’you know what? He was right! :-)

Since a USB 3.1 / C (or whatever it is, I have lost my way with all those mixed-up USB denominations finally), with year-2000 speed (no, you read right: USB 2.0), is CORRECT, by the current so-called “USB specifications”: it’s just not what the believer will have thought it is when they read “3.1” (or whatever they call it), so the form factor alone will not always include the internal goodies you’ll expect, but some of you will know that effect already from, e.g., boobs.

(Not speaking of their ol’pen-with-adapa here: that ordeal had duly been communicated…)

So here again, Apple’s perfectly in their right, it’s just the believers who will have been wrong. Let’s hope when the latter die, they will not experience a very similar but somewhat final deception again…
