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.

I tried beta 1 and found that right click + wheel does not work. With clean install in a virtual machine it works only if I check the “Use Mouse Wheel to Select” checkbox.

OS: WinXP SP3.

I fixed this on beta 2. Thanks!

Hi Yutaka,

Yes, I’m still using v8, is it safe to use v9 now already ?

Thanks.

Sure.

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!

Something in our office has been guilty of sneaking byte-order marks into text files that cannot tolerate them, and it looks a lot like EmEditor 8 is the guilty party. I thought I had found a setting that stopped it from doing that, but the problem has apparently recurred. What settings would be good if I want to make sure that text files written by EmEditor never get a byte-order mark inserted?

If you don’t change encoding when you save as a file, there should be no problem at all. If you need to change encoding when you a file, you should select UTF-8 without BOM. I don’t if there is a good way to prevent from selecting UTF-8 with BOM.

[Yutaka Emura]

First, I’d like to see repeating macros that have the option to (1) go to the end of the file and (2) run through a selection.

It is not easy but you can write a macro to run only within the selection.

Second, I’d like to have the abilty to sort lines.

There are plug-ins. Also, version 9 will support Sort commands within EmEditor core.

Third, I’d like Em Editor to include a “proper title” capitalization case (where words such as “the,” “from,” “for,” and “as” are not capitalized).

EmEditor doesn’t automatically correct capitalization. EmEditor is not a word processor. However, you can select a word and select the Capitalize command.

Finally, I’d like the option for searches to extend the selection.

You can press F8 before searching to extend the selection.

Thanks for information. I reproduced your issue, and will look into this issue. This happens because we changed the block selection behavior.

Title says it – where does Emeditor save its preferences? I have looked in all the obvious places such as AppData etc but can’t find them.

I had to reinstall as my hard drive died and it would have been useful to have the preferences saved for the reinstall rather than having to go through each configuration trying to remember what the settings were.

Cheers,

It saves to the Registry in the default install, or INI files if you choose portable edition. You can export your current configurations from the Tools menu > Import and Export.

Hello!

Is it possible to maximum of tab-size from current 16 to… whatewer, 100.
I usually use emeditor for quick editing tsv (tab-separated-values), it would be very handy.

Thank you!

16 is the maximum value for tab-size. However, Version 9 supports TSV files, and it aligns the tabs vertically in any size.

When I install EE 9 b37 on Vista and UAC window is shown, the name of the program shown there is vague (something like e5tx9.msi). It would be better if the installer contained the correct program name/desctiprion so that UAC could use them instead of this temporary file name.

I agree. The only way to change this name is to change the installer program. I might consider that in future versions. Thanks!

Currently there is an option in EE: Customize -> Mouse -> Use Mouse Wheel to Select. It controls two ways of selecting tabs:
1. Mouse wheel when the cursor is over tab headers.
2. Right click + mouse wheel anywhere in the window.
For me the first behaviour is very annoying, because sometimes I scroll the file contents when the cursor is near the top, and slight movement of the mouse immediately stops scrolling and starts switching files. But right click + wheel is very useful (I’m used to it in Opera and would like to use it in EE too). So why not split this single option into two different options to control these behaviours independently?

I will consider two different options to split this single option. Thanks!

does this tool feature a wordstar-like column block copy/move?

I see the vertical column description but cannot determine if it works like the old (and great) wordstar.

thank you.

I don’t know what the wordstar-like column block copy/move is. Can you please describe the feature in details? Thanks!

FYI, as of alpha 37, this bug still exists.

May I also suggest a minor improvement? Currently, when holding down Shift key and then press Home key, the line starting from the cursor position back to the first column will be selected. Would it be possible that if we click Home key again (while holding down Shift), the selection is made till the first non-blank character, and if we click Home again, it is back to the first column again? This behavior would be consistent with other popular editors. Thanks.

I cannot reproduce the bug. For clarification, can you describe the bug again?

I will consider the SHIFT+HOME behavior in future versions. Thanks!

I usually add a bunch of line breaks and then print it out so I can add notes because I don’t read so many Kanji, and I have to look things up.

Which font do you use?
Can you try a proportional font, such as MS P Gothic or Meiryo?
Thanks!

Hello, I pasted a Japanese language e-mail into emeditor and when I printed it out, it was all run together.

I see in the properties for current configuration, I can change the font, etc, but without pushing the character spacing up to about 10, it all ends up printed on top of itself… is there a way to keep that from happening?

Thank you.

Which version of OS and EmEditor are you using? Can you show me a screenshot? Thanks!

It not already included in the Encoding list, you can add any encoding from the Tools menu > Define Encoding. In my list (v9), “437: OEM United States” is available.

I also second this request..

My wish would be to have the possibility to use more than one char as a seperator. We use double-pipes as separators “||” to avoid escaping/unescaping in content fields. So I would be very thankful fuor siupporting multiple chars as seperator.

Thanks a lot!

I will add a DSV mode (user-defined separator), so you can use a semicolon or any one character as a separator. However, it will be only one character, not like “||” unfortunately. That will make it more complicated, and I will not support it.

Forgive me if this has been answered already. I couldn’t find the answer by doing a search. As stated in the subject, I’m wondering whether a registered version of EmEditor Pro v8 can coexist with the beta version(s) of EmEditor v9 Beta? I want to make sure that all of my custom configurations won’t get stepped on. I know that I can just export my registry settings but I would rather not go thru all of the hassle of saving off the config while testing the beta.

Thanks,

No, they cannot coexist.

So I came to here to get help.
How to backup the snippets?

Are you using Version 8 or 9 of EmEditor?
If you are using Version 8, please export HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareemsoftEmEditorPlugInsSnippets in RegEdit.exe, and then import this key to the new system.

If you are using Version 9, you can use Export and Import commands in the Snippets plug-in.
