Thanks for a great app! I have some questions regarding regular expressions, though:

- Which regular expression engine does Textastic use?
- Where can I find the syntax spec?
- What is the right syntax for including captures in the replacement text?
- Can I use case modifiers like \U \L \u in the replacement text?

TIA for the answer which I hope end up in the FAQ/manual! (Is there a FAQ distinct from the manual?

Mein erster tag mit Textastic. Ausgezeichnete arbeit.

From the content of the forums, I am eagerly awaiting version 2.0. (If the German portion is awful, I blame babelfish...)

Hey Alex,

I know I'm nerving all time with my parser/syntax check ideas. But I've got an iPad2 and Textastic runs very smooth on it. I code on it in javascript and can run it in the internal web engine... very cool and nice for my html 5 game project. :D

Overall it is a really great editor and very well supported by you.
Thank you for that nice piece of software.

When selecting 'edit' it would be great if the current file was automatically selected. Especially with long file names (e.g. Created after using the 'textastic:' custom URL scheme) that are only partially visible it is sometimes difficult to find them again (e.g. When using edit to rename them to a shorter file name).

It seems the tab width currently tops out at 8, but this is insufficient for certain programming languages. Assembly languages in particular can have instructions of more than 7 characters. That means the instruction arguments will no longer line up in a column making the code difficult to read. I use a tab width of 12 in those cases, though ideally, it would be possible to enter any width within reason

App is crashing every few minutes, most often when deleting several lines of text by holding down the delete key but also happened when I was simply scrolliing down the code page. I've tried rebootting the ipad but no difference. Had been working fine until recently (I have not updated to the retina-display version, so I'm using the one before that). I've really come to rely on this app for my paying job., so I sincerely hope you can fix this!

Great app! One issue though - when I paste code from the iPad integrated email app into Textastic, I sometimes get non-space white spaces, that end up breaking JavaScript or HTML in some browsers. Maybe a feature to see what white spaces are not actually space?
