Dear Diego,

Thank you for your reply.  I tried out your method, and the compiler
does compile and pop up the error window.  However, after I double-click
on the error message, a message pops up with:

Unmatched '( or {'

I think it has something to do with the Regular Expression (RE).  I
copied exactly the way you have:

^.*\([a-zA-Z]:[^]+\)\([0-9]+\]):

and somehow it still doesn't work properly.  Any idea?

Regards,
Hai

Nothing. That is because mpasmwin does not write the errors to stdout
but to
a file. Textpad capture the stdout output, but not the file, the
double-click only works in the captured output from stdout.

I have just made this work-around:

Create this batch file and save it in c:\mpasm\mpasm.bat, (use the
directory
you want):

    @echo off
    c:\mpasm\asm21500\mpasmwin %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
    type c:\temp\mpasm.err

Take care to change the path where you have mpasmwin installed and where
you
want the error file, mpasm.err, to be written.

Now, instruct textpad not to run mpasmwin but this mpasm.bat file. You
have
to pass the parameter /e pointing to the error file you are going to
"type"
in the mpasm.bat file (c:\temp\mpasm.err) in this case.

The "problem" here is that you don4t have a .err file for each file you
compile.

Attached you have a picture of the texpad config window (yes,I know this
is
an english list, sorry for the spanish words ;-)

Cheers,
Diego.
