EditPadToolHelper

EditPadToolHelper is a command line tool wrapper that works around EditPad's behavior of appending the DOS end-of-file character ^Z (hex 0x1A) when piping text to an external tool. Many programs misinterpret this extra byte, so the helper removes it before passing the data along.

Usage

Run the helper followed by the program you want EditPad to call:

EditPadToolHelper.exe <path-to-tool-exe> [tool arguments]

The helper launches the specified tool, shuttles data between EditPad and that tool while stripping the injected ^Z, and exits with the same code. Any errors encountered are shown in a message box.
