But I have this otpion checked all time.

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?

With alpha 36 and 37 I dont have auto code complete. Is there any way to turn on this feature?

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.

Can you check “Run Background” option in the Snippets plug-in Properties?

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!

I never used 8.0. It does occur on all 9.00 alpha releases. I am using 64bit version.

Do you use the Snippets plug-in? Can you right-click on the Snippets plug-in button on the Toolbar, select Properties, and then is “Run Background” checkbox checked? If checked, can you try unchecking this checkbox, and see if you still see crashes? When you see crashes, can you explain more details when this happens?

Thanks for information. Do you use right-click on tabs? Right-clicking tabs will display a menu including Save, Close, New Group, etc. Does this problem occur after right-clicking any tabs and then click other places to cancel the menu?

Also, one more problem appeared: when I turned the “Runs at Events” checkbox on again, EmEditor does not find the macro anymore. Each time I opens a file, the message appears:

—————————

The system cannot find the file specified.

C:Program FilesEmEditorExtendedAssociations.jsee

EE tries to look for the macro in wrong directory…

Do you use the Registry or use INI files?

Sorry, what do you mean? You named the same button twice…

Also, if you have the tabs enabled, the “Restore Tabbed Window Position” also does the trick.

Yes, tabs are enabled, and the Restore Tabbed Window Position is checked here. Or do I need to uncheck it?

I have trouble downloading your video files

Strange, no problem here. OK, I reuploaded them to Rapidshare: EXE, AVI

Sorry, I mean when you click the Save Current Window Position button, you will also have to click the Restore Window Position check box. And I know you are all set.

The Restore Tabbed Window Position should be unchecked if you want the window open maximized even if you close in non-maximized size.

Please make sure to disable “Automatic Workspace” (select off or Save Only) because the workspace includes information about window sizes.

I downloaded your video files. It looks strange. Did you try on the Windows Desktop?

Thank you for your wonderful work. EmEditor is close to perfect!

I found I often encounter an annoying problem, though. Sometimes, I modified a file and press Ctrl+S, but the file is not saved at all (the star character next to the file name remains). If I drag and drop the file tab to a different position and then press Ctrl+S, the file can be saved successfully. When this problem happens, it will also be there until I restart EmEditor. The bad thing is that this issue is not always reproducible, but I do encounter it now and then. Any idea?

Thanks for your inputs. I will ask you several questions. First, does this happen only on v9 alpha?

I discovered the Outline plugin and I’ve been trying to use it for LUA and XML, but it seems terribly buggy and problematic right now (using v9 beta). I’ve been using Notepad++ for the XML, and their version seems very robust, but I would love to see EmEditor’s version working well.

So the question is, is it just in a “work-in-progress” state and I should wait, or would posting issues help out?

If you have any problems in the current alpha version, please let me know exactly what the problems are in details. You can email me a sample file to [email protected]. You can also customize regular expressions in the Outline plug-in Properties, so you might find userful expressions. Thank you!

Hi all
I have written a macro that pulls certain text out of the active document and writes it to a new document.
No problem with that.
I am now attempting to set the configuration of the new document to be the same as the original [active] document.
The following code does not error, but it does not produce the desired result either. Do I need to activate it somehow?

cfg = docOriginal.Config.Name
docOutput.Config.Load(cfg);

thanks.

	s = docOriginal.ConfigName;

	docOutput.ConfigName = s;

	

This should work.

It is not possible to single-step through a macro, unfortunately.

[Yutaka Emura]

When you click the Save Current Window Position button, you will also have to click the Save Current Window Position. Also, if you have the tabs enabled, the “Restore Tabbed Window Position” also does the trick.

I have trouble downloading your video files, so I will try again. Thanks!

I can see you failed to throw that portion of code in to the editor and play around with it. This is a fairly obvious bug.

Throw away everything from the previous posts.

lets try this again…
scenario 1
//##############
begin // minus here, which is correct

// begin (no minus here, which is correct)

end
//##############

scenario 2
//##############
begin // minus here, which is correct

// begin (a minus now appears because of the comment in the following line of code, incorrect)
// stuff

end
//##############

on a side note, it seems like you inverted the “Make Comments Collapsible” check box

I now understand what you mean. It should be fixed in alpha 33. Thanks!

blades018 wrote:
we are not on the same page. what i mean is that there should not be a plus/minus on commented lines.

if you throw this code in the editor, it should all make sense

// ##############
begin // there is a minus here, which is correct

// begin (there is a minus here, but there shouldn’t be. it is the result of the following line of code)
// begin

end
// ##############

In the latest version of v9 alpha, you might want to uncheck “Make Comments Collapsible” text box in the Outlint properties. I hope this helps.

No, I don’t think it is possible now.

Hi,
Will this issue get resolved in the future?
EmEditor currently cannot deal perfectly with these larger-than-4-hex-digit unicode characters:
Regular expression x{XXXXX} (longer than 4 hex digits) cannot be used to search for these characters.
These characters cannot be counted correctly by using the two plug-ins.

I believe this is a regular expression engine limitation, so I cannot fix this issue. Except for regular expression limitation, I believe EmEditor fully supports longer-than-4-hex-digit unicode.
