RE: Key word coloring for .txt files

Just as an FYI for awareness purposes: if you have formatting turned on (and in some instances when it's not on) and you use Toad to view any text files other than actual SQL/PLSQL code... recognize it could make a pretty big mess of that text file.  Imagine - just as an example - what that might do to the data in a flat file ending in .txt

Right-click in Editor and choose "Configure Editor Tab Styles..." and remove ",TXT" from the Text style and add ",TXT" to the SQL style (without the double-quotes). This will load .txt files into the SQL tab.

Do you mean on Win7 when you type a word in the start menu's edit box it's not searching them? If so, you can add .SQL files to the list to be searched. Type "index" and go to the indexing options. Click Advanced and check out the File Types tab. You can add new extensions there. It may take some time for Windows to index all of your .SQL files.

Message from: Tracy K


Hi all,

Due to microsoft's inability to search .sql files, we save our script as .txt. The problem with this is when we open a .txt file in Toad, we lose the key word color coding. Is there a way to see this for .txt fiels as well as .sql?

Thanks!
Tracy
