Regular Expressions Library

[chatter]

I dont know if I am not setting something up right at startup but I can't get the Regular Expressions Library to save any Regular Expressions. When I would enter a regexpression and replace in the boxes and click on the expressions library button I would get a message that says "Error Loading Library: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files(x86)\TextCrawler2\TextCrawler_Library.xml' is denied." I fixed this by creating an xml file in Excel named TextCrawler_Library and placed at \TextCrawler2\ folder where there was no TextCraler_Library.xml file at first, then when i would click on the expressions library button it did not bring the error message and just start the expressions library, but now when i try to save regular expressions and replace it brings up another error that says "Error writing item to library: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files(x86)\TextCrawler2\TextCrawler_Library.xml' is denied." it seems like the expressions library is having trouble accessing the TextCrawler_Library.xml file, how do I fix this? thanks

Sounds like a permissions issue. Can you try running TextCrawler as administrator?

Note, in a future release of TC the library will be moved out of the program files folder and into the user folder to avoid this problem.

Perhaps it would be convenient to make the "user" folder configurable as well.

I install all my custom applications outside of the system's Program Folder, so for me it would be easiest to store the settings also in that same folder, just to have all in one location.

For others, storing settings in a selectable folder may be preferable over the standard user folder, but maybe not. If it's a choice, it's anyone's own.
