Add Files

So far we've just been processing text that's held in TextPipe's Trial Run Area. Now we want to get it to work on some real files, so let's see exactly how we do this:

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Display the folder 'C:\Program Files\TextPipe'
3. Locate the file called 'tips.txt'
4. Drag and drop the file from Explorer into TextPipe's filter window (with the title 'Untitled..'). If TextPipe's window is not currently visible, drag (and hold the button down) the file to the task bar area where it says 'TextPipe', pause for 2 seconds until TextPipe comes to the foreground, and then drop the file into TextPipe's window
5. TextPipe changes to show the Files to Process tab, with the new file added
6. It's that easy to add a file or files - just drag and drop them from Explorer.

To process the file:

1. Click the Go button
2. TextPipe displays the status window
3. TextPipe processes the file, and then plays a sound to let you know it has finished
4. Click on the Results tab
5. Find the line in TextPipe's window (not in the Help) that says 'Output file [C:\Program Files\TextPipe\tips.txt] Size: ...'
6. Double click this line
7. TextPipe opens NotePad to show you the output file.
