Hi Morten,
One of the big differences between TSE Pro. and TSe Jr. (formerly
QEdit), is that you can test the results of a command directly in TSE
Pro.  And, you can also stop a macro in the middle, instead of having to
jump to the end of the macro...  So, let's take your example:
/-------------------
> It looks like, at some times it works with a:
>   lFind('[~\t]','x+b')
>    if True
>      goto label_end
>    endif
\-------------------
TRUE in this case is a _constant_ value.  Your current IF statement is
like saying:
    if 5
        // ... rest of code here ...
    endif
Which will _always_ be TRUE.
What you want to do is test the result of the lFind() operation:
    if lFind('[~\t]','x+b')
        // ... rest of code here ...
    endif
I hope this helps, Morten.  If you have any more questions, please feel
free to ask!
