You can change the keyword and color settings. In HTML Properties, select Highlight (1) tab, and then find and delete &.

Is there a way to specify what file type is used when EmEditor is opened? For example, when I open EmEditor currently the “text” configuration is loaded. I would like to have the another syntax like “HTML” for example loaded. Is there any way for this to be done?

You can specify /c option in command line. For instance, if you want to launch EmEditor with HTML configuration, you would specify:

emeditor.exe /c HTML

I hope this helps.

Hi there,

It’s a bit annoying, when I start Emeditor 8.06 on my Windows 7 (64 bits), it only shows the tray icon and not the main window, I then have to double-click on the tray icon to show the window… A bit annoying…
I’ve played around with the Quick Start option to no avail.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

Cheers /jerome

It should launch the EmEditor main window. I don’t know why you have the trouble with Windows 7. Do you use any automatic workspace setetings enabled? If so, please try disabled. EmEditor v9 will also support Windows 7 well.

The problem:
When I set
Tab columns to 8 and
Indent columns to 4
in Configuration -> General -> Tab/Indent

and

check “Show Indent Guides” in Configuration -> Marks

I have Indent Guides at every 8th column.

May be it’s not a bug but just a feature and my programming style is too specific ( I set hard Tabs to 8 spaces and indent code blocks with 4 “soft” ones ) I just wonder why to call “indentation” two different things this way?

I fixed this issue, and it is fixed in v9. Thanks!

Yutaka,

Problem is solved ! :)

I’ve had a program running (Filebox eXtender) which extends the Save/Save As/Open dialogs with any shortcuts you want for faster navigation, but for some reason it didn’t play nice with EmEditor. I had more problems with other programs due to this program, I’ve configured Filebox eXtender to not attach it to EmEditor.exe at all, and now everything is fine.

Seems like this Filebox eXtender is no longer developed for a reason, I’ve had to disable it for a whole bunch of programs which it didn’t work fine with.

Sorry for bothering you once more with a problem that wasn’t related to this fine Editor.

Thanks again Yutaka !

[SOLVED]

That is good to know. Thanks for letting me know you solved the issue.

Hi Yutaka,

OS : Windows XP SP3
EmEditor version : 8.06

I can’t reproduce that problem. However, can you try Version 9 beta. The new version fixes various small bugs, so it might fix your issue, too. Thanks!

Hi,

Every time I open files in EmEditor, by doubleclicking in explorer, EmEditor opens the document, but it doesn’t get focus, I cannot use the arrows to scroll through the document, I first have to click in it with the mouse.

Please, what is wrong, how can I get the document to automatically have focus ?

Please let me know which OS you use and which version of EmEditor you use. Thanks!

When compared to my current editor, I am missing the following in EmEditor

1. The ability to left, right and center justify sections of the (same) print header and / or footer (I think this one was mentioned elsewhere in the forum).
2. The ability to set text attributes for the header / footer text (font, bold, etc.)
3. The ability to add a separator line for both header and footer (to separate it from the page text).

Am I missing anything.

Thank you.

I might consider these options in the future. Thanks!

Thanks, this works. A bit slow, however. I personally think this “show spaces” should be triggered by the Marks button. All these “marks” are also customized in one place, why aren’t they shown in one place? In many editors showing line breaks and spaces is done by the same button.

I will consider the option to customize which marks can be trigerred by the button. Thanks!

I just started evaluating EmEditor and am setting up syntax highlighting for an environment that I use. Is it possible to set a highlight / color for all numbers? I did not see number(s) in the “Specify Part” list of the display tab.

Thanks.

You can specify [0-9]+ as a highlight word and check “Regular Expression” and “Whole Word Only” in the Highlight (1) tab of configuration properties. I hope this helps. Thanks!

The notes should be stored in

I hope you can retrieve the text!

P.S. You should use the latest version of EmEditor Notes 1.01. It fixes some issues like this.

Wow, that was a VERY fast reply! Indeed, resizing the box made the problem go away. In fact, now I’m unable to replicate it because I can’t seem to make the box small enough to cause that display problem.

Is it possible to fix this? If not, or in the interim, perhaps you could add something about it to the documentation, either in the product or here on the web, or both.

Thanks a lot!

It is included in our FAQ. In v9, you won’t see this problem. In v9, you will need to click [-] or [=] button to switch between single and multi-line text box. Thanks!

All of a sudden, when I bring up the Find or Replace dialog boxes, the text fields in the dialog box where I want to type in the text to be found or replaced are mostly filled with arrow bitmaps (a left and a right arrow). I took a screenshot and could send it to anyone who wants to see it.

This makes it impossible to use the find/replace functionality. Very scary, as I need it to do a translation job immediately.

I saw this in the version I was using, installed the latest version (8.06), restarted the editor, and even restarted the computer, but the arrows kept returning.

What can I do?

The Find/Replace dialog box allows resizing by dragging the right bottom corner with the mouse. When the height of the dialog box is minimum, only a single line can be entered as a search string, while the taller dialog box allows multiple lines entered as a search string. Please drag the right bottom corner with the mouse so you can enter just the right size of the text.

Thank you for the new beta and the included sort functionality! Unfortunately, the following seems not to be currently available:
– The ability to sort just the current selection instead of the whole file.
– When printing headers and/or footers, the ability to have multiple elements (for example, one left aligned and one right aligned) in the same header or footer. By way of example: “&f &r &p of &a” (minus the quotes) leads to both the file name and page numbers to be right aligned instead of the file name to the left edge and the page number to the right.
– A spelling check plug-in or built-in functionality for the 64-bit version.

Thank you.

(This is a repost of my reply to the first beta. Apologies if you did spot my first reply.)

I am really sorry for my late reply, but I am positive about adding features you wrote. Thanks for trying out the beta version!

and

with (document.Config.Indent) {
TabColumns = 4;
InsertSpaces = true;
WrapIndent = true; }
document.Config.Save();

Neither of these give an error message but when alert()-ing the properties they are not changed nor does EmEditor act like they’ve changed. Can anybody shed any light?

Thank you in advance.

Please try this way:

	cfg = document.Config;

	if (cfg.Mark.ShowSpaces) {

	cfg.Mark.ShowSpaces = false;

	} else {

	cfg.Mark.ShowSpaces = true;

When I use regular expression in “replace in files…”, it doesn’t work!
However, when I open all the files in Emeditor and use the same regular expression to replace one file by one file, it is OK!

By the way, a small suggestion in “outline”:
If the background color of the “+” and “-” column (I mean the whole column) could be set, it will be better! Now the column is in the editing region, and it’s easy to make users under an optical illusion.

version: 9.00 beta 1.

The new lines must be specified as rn in Replace in Files.

I have a file named “09.txt” that is encoded in UTF-8 without a BOM. I have found that the encoding that EmEditor opens it in depends on whether I select it from the recently used file list, or select it in the file-open dialog box.
– If I close the file, and then click File -> (select “09.txt” from the recently used list), it opens in UTF-8 without Signature (correct)
– If I close the file, and then click File -> Open, and then select it from the directory list, it opens in “Central European (ISO)”, which is wrong.

I tried changing the setting in Tools -> Properties for Current Configuration -> File tab, Opening Encoding, but that seems to have no effect. What is that box for?

Note that **even when the file has a BOM**, it still opens in “Central European (ISO)” when I use File -> Open. This, despite the fact that in the settings for current configuration, I definitely have “Detect BOM” and “Detect UTF-8” both set.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

When you open a file from File > Open, you will need to make sure the “Configured Encoding” in the Encoding drop-down list. I suspect “Central European (ISO)” is selected in ths drop-down. This option is remembered when you open a file, and so next time you open a file, you will need to make sure you are selecting a correct option. I hope this helps. Thanks!

I edit text files a lot, but often must find a certain string of 1 or more characters starting at some column position, or within a range of column positions.

Example: find ‘abc’ 10
which means find abc in columns 10-12.

Example: find ‘1’ 11 15
which means find 1 anywhere in columns 11 – 15.

Is this possible, or can this be added in the future ?

Thanks

It is possible to replace in selection only, but there is no feature to only find a particular string in the selection. To replace a string in the selection, you can press CTRL + H to bring up the Replace dialog box, and then check “In the Selection Only” check box before replace something.

Thank you.

I think I’d better find or make a utility to scan files for BOMs.

I think the problem happens when it loads files that contain only ASCII-7 and interprets them as UTF-8. I think one thing I can probably do that will help is to change the “opening encoding” for the configuration that these files get loaded with (which is “SQL”). I’ll change it from “system default” to “western european”. Will that prevent it from seeing ascii-7 as utf-8?

If you always want to open in Western European, you might want to uncheck “Detect UTF-8” in the Configuration Properties > File tab. This should be enough to prevent from BOM being added. I hope this helps.

EmEditor is probably the best editor I ever saw, but it seriously lacks one simple feature – text block search. Right now you can only search for one string, but in some cases you have to find a formatted text block like this:

Some text

For example, CuteFTP integrated editor has it and it’s quite handy. Would be great if you add this feature to EmEditor.

You can resize the Find dialog box to enter multi-line text. Alternatively, you can use n as a new line with “Use Escape Sequences”. Thanks!

Hi,
I have the “Save Workspace” and “Restore Workspace” checked.

When I close EmEd, and then start it again, it correctly loads the tabs that were open before closing EmEd.

However, when I close EmEd, and then doubleclick some .txt (or other) file, EmEd opens with the selected document, but the one that was open before I closed it is not returning, it’s being swapped by the newly clicked document ?

Please, what option did I miss ?

I guess you are using v8, but the new v9 corrects this behavior. I hope you can try it. Thanks!
