using alt-mouse dragging to select a vertical block (column selection mode) is broken since v8 — font Tahoma, english text — the block is selected to the right of clicking point. And if you click at a long line’s tail (200th character) the offset would be … 50 characters.

v7 was ok.

I don’t see any problems. Can you try another font, fixed-width font such as Courier New? Exactly what version of v8 do you use? Please send me a screenshot that explain your issue. Thanks!

I like using emeditor for my writing work.
However, I want to insert a link to a local picture file.
I can’t find a way to do this.
Is it possible to put a link like:
c:usersXXXpicturesnames.jpg
then, I click it to link to the picture file?
Thanks.

You can add file: before the file name. For instance,

file:c:usersXXXpicturesnames.jpg

I hope this helps.

Hello,
I use Emeditor for some years especially for editing texts in Devanagari script. There are no other software which allows to search and edit Devanagari text in so many ways. So 1. I want to express my respect and greatefulness to the author of this Software. And 2. There is 1 problem in representing of Devanagari script in Emeditor. It is a syllabic script and letters are combined in ligatures – and in Emeditor it is represented correctly but after every word there many spaces (in the place of signs combined in ligature). For example (ह्रस्वो नपुंसके प्रातिपदिकस्य १।२।४७) I think it is not very difficult for You to correct this problem. It will be very convenient to see Devanagari script correctly and to have all possibilities to edit search and replace Devanagari text in Emeditor. Thank You. With best Regards, Mihail Bayaryn, Sanskrit teacher.

I received you message also by email. It is not very easy to adjust the spaces between words. However, I might correct this behavior in future versions. Thank you!

Thanks to emeditor team for this userfriendly and powerful editor.
Is that a Advenced Replacement Plugin that will bulk copy a template, replace some column which is already set and output.
There is the expamle:

File 1: Some data, separate by comma (First line is a column name)
———–
store_name , Sales, Date
Los Angeles, $1500, Jan-05-1999
San Diego, $250, Jan-07-1999
Los Angeles, $300, Jan-08-1999
Boston, $700, Jan-08-1999
———–

File 2: The template file
———–
{$store_name} was sales {$Sales} at {$Date}.
{nextrecord()}
———–

The output will be:
———–
Los Angeles was sales $1500 at Jan-05-1999.
San Diego was sales $250 at Jan-07-1999.
Los Angeles was sales $300 at Jan-08-1999.
Boston was sales $700 at Jan-08-1999.
———–

Thanks.

Yes, you can replace

(.*?),(.*?),(.*?)

with

1 was sales 2 at 3

using “Regular Expressions” on.

In v9, the CSV (comma-separated) files are supported, and you can even more easily add text between columns!

First thing I add to the toolbar after a fresh install is always the “marks” button to show/hide tabs, cr/lf etc.
How about adding this as default?

The Marks button is already included in the Toolbar, and you only need to customize from the default toolbar. The default buttons will not be changed. In this forum, I am asking any “new” button ideas that you would like to customize.

Hi Yutaka,
I know it’s strange, but the Word Complete plug-in just don’t automatically show the candidate words. However the hotkey works.
I confirm the Word Complete button is pressed state, “Automatically Show the Candidate List as Typed” is also checked.
A clean install of the Emeditor 9 alpha 37 doesn’t solve the problem. The system is Windows 7 RC english 32bit.

In regedit.exe, can you remove HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareemsoftEmEditorPlugInsWordComplete key and try again? This should reset all the settings related to the WordComplete plug-in. The earlier unisntaller did not clear the plug-in information.

I have a Windows system with default non-Unicode encoding set to BIG5.
When I select a cue file and a txt file, then right click to open with EmEditor, EmEditor can’t identify the proper encoding to open both files which are saved with JIS encoding characters.
After I selected correcct encoding, EmEditor did not ask for encoding of txt file and directly open cue file in the encoding I selected, but open txt file in system’s default non-Unicode encoding BIG5 resulting unindentify characters.

I was wondering if this behaviour of not asking for second file’s encoding is expected?

Sorry, I am not sure exactly what the problem is. Please email me sample files after zipped to [email protected] and explain the procedure how to reproduce in details. Thanks!

How about a checkbox in the snippet dialog? The option might be useful for other shells.

BTW, I just ordered a personal license since you are so helpful :) Thank you for keeping EmEditor small, fast, powerful and 64-bit. –mario

I don’t want to make this global option. I will just make the chopping the last CRLF as default. If a user doesn’t want to chop the last CRLF, he or she can just add another CRLF to the snippet.

Thanks for buying a license! That certainly motivates me to make the better software.

[Yutaka Emura]

Currently, this is the specification although it is not a good behavior.

When you press “Replace” for the second time, (?<=TITLE ) part does not match the current selection.

However, you can try this:

TITLE “.*?”

TITLE “1”

and you will see a good behavior.

works :) Here’s an example for those of you who use powershell.

`- powershell –
# prompts for name then echos the hello greeting
$name = “${name}”.ToUpper()
“Hello $name!”
exit
`

Note the exit is required. Powershell would not exit automatically. What about an option to chop the last CRLF? Most of the time I want to replace the trigger inline instead of adding a new line. The above code always adds a new line.

I will consider adding that option. Please let me know if you have any specific specification in mind for this option. Thanks!

OK. This is done by “Word Complete” plug-in. Please make sure the Word Complete button is pressed state, or Word Complete menu is checked on the plug-ins submenu on the Tools menu.

Can you please describe the details of the problem? Are you talking about the Snippets plug-in? What snippet do you want to insert? How are you trying to insert the snippet? What was the trigger string? shortcut key? Double-clicking the item in the Snippet tree work?

If the Snippets plug-in customar bar is hidden, the plug-in must be configured to run background. Please select the Snippets plug-in Properties, and then check “Run Background”.

Snippets are coming along nicely :)

When I use powershell code for a snippet, the output window waits for a carriage return before inserting the output into text. Try this.

`#cmd powershell dir -name`

The syntax seems limiting. Difficult to put anything but trivial code in a one-liner short of invoking a script file. May I suggest something like the shebang in unix scripts?

#!cmd
code here
and here
…
and here

#!ps
code here
and here
…
and here

The documentation was incomplete. It is possible by following format:

`- filename
stdin
stdin
…
`

For instance, if you want to show the current directory:

`- cmd
DIR ${Dir}
`

If you don’t want to parse parameters like ${}, you can use

‘!- filename
stdin
stdin
…
`

Please let me know what you think!

Please uncheck “Do Not Close Last Document by Selecting Close Command” check box in the Window tab of the Customize dialog box.

I love the “Find in Files” functionality in EmEditor, since I let me choose file externsions and what character encoding to use. Now I’d like to askwhether there is a find option that lets me find only in text files.

It is really useful when I want to deal with an unfamilar software. I’d like to find a string(probably a configuration name or its value) in all files within that software’s directory, but I cannot figure out what file extensions to find(maybe .ini .cfg .bat .xml or something else), so the best strategy is to find in all text files.

Thanks for your opinions. Currently, there is no way to specify only “Binary” files, but you can specify inclusive files types. In the Advanced dialog, you can also specify exclusive file types. I hope this will help. Thanks!

I want to convert UTF-16 Le (LF unix) to UTF-16 (CR+LF to windows) and UTF-8 LE to UTF-8 CR+LF can I use command line if yes what is command line i should use ?
Or can I batch process this file in emeditor ?
.java files – from UTF-16 Le (LF unix) to UTF-16 (CR+LF to windows)
.rc files – from UTF-16 Le (LF unix) to UTF-16 (CR+LF to windows)
.XML files —UTF-8 LE to UTF-8 CR+LF
I tried many utilities and Sed commands they all are corrupting the files.
I can do this by opeing each file in emditor and save as to windows format but this solution is not logical for 200+ files.
thanks in advance.

Not on version 8, but on version 9, you will see new command line options /scr /scrlf /slf available. So if you want to convert from UTF-16 (LF unix) to UTF-8 (CR+LF windows), you would use,

emeditor.exe “org_name” /cp 65537 /cps 65001 /ss- /scrlf /sa “new_name”

v9 alpha is available in our beta forum. I hope this will help.

I confirm that EE 9α36 now correctly finds the macro on File Opened event.

However, the other two problems still remain (not restoring the window position, and black corners of the newly created window).
I checked: both these problems can be reproduced only when I turn on the option for running my macro on File Opened event. When I turn it off, both problems disappear.

This will be fixed on alpha 37. It you still see the balck corners on alhpa 37, please let me know again.

Total Commander + InstallExplorer 0.9.1 plugin can unpack *.msi files like zip files. Shift+Enter to run *.msi files normally.
Then you can drag the new unpacked emeditor files to your current emeditor install folder. All your configurations will be reserved.

While it might work, I don’t recommend this way, and this will void my support. Some people report they cannot remove a version because uninstaller needs to locate a particular version of EmEditor. If you need to install an alpha version over an older alpha version, please uninstall the older version from Control Panel, and then install the new version.

hi, there,

I am using EmEditor 8.0 now.

A text file is opened by EmEditor. I changed this file by another program.
I need to wait about 3 seconds to get EmEditor refresh the text file, which is too slow, I think..

Is there any way to solve this?

Thanks,
Yin Zhu

This should have been adjusted on v9 alpha version, and you can download at http://www.emeditor.com/modules/newbb/viewforum.php?forum=12
If you still see the problem, please let me know. Thank you!
