Currently it's two taps. You would need to select "Upload This File" in the action menu twice.

Textastic 4.3 introduces a change that could fix this problem. The new version is currently in review at Apple and should be available in the App Store soon. Let me know if this update fixes it for you.

You can edit those files as text files and use regular expression search.

But, it will be just handled like any other text file and not special in any way.

Great find! I'll try to reproduce it.

You can already do that: just enter the path of the local file in the address bar.

For example, if you are showing the preview windows for "js/script.js" enter "index.html" to preview the file index.html in the local root directory in Textastic.

You can also enter arbitrary URLs when you switch from local to remote preview.

Textastic offers syntax highlighting for many languages including C, but it doesn't include compilers or interpreters due to restrictions of iOS.

Also, .exe are Windows-only anyway, so it wouldn't be possible to run them on iOS even if Apple allowed this.

Thanks. Another customer reported this problem once, but so far it didn't occur on my own device. If you find a way to reproduce the issue reliably, please let me know!
