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.

I have searched through the forum and help files and cannot find whether it is possible to single-step through a macro. Is this possible?

Thanks,

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

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!

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.

When I use Notepad ++ and editiing html text, the editor autoselect tag – the begin and the end.
For example

some text here
bla
bla
bla
bla

When I set cursor into

the editor set tag

to bold font.

The emeditor can do it?

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.

Glitch 1:
If the macro is one of macros defined in the “My Macros” list in EmEditor, this warning will not be displayed. So before you run this first time, please select this macro to be included in the My Macros list.

Glitch 2:
Instead of using Close All command, you might want to use Close command using:

document.close;

[Yutaka Emura]

You might want to select Solution – New.

I can run a macro on a file from the command line; but then, I’d like EmEditor to save and close down. Then I could put that line into a batch file with other commands and the user wouldn’t have to close EMEditor. Maybe there is a macro command to close EM?

Please try this:

	editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4119);

Does this make sense now?

It makes sense now, but the current design doesn’t allow a portion of collapsed range to appear. So, it isn’t possible to show only commented lines while all the outside block collapsed.

I am using Open Documents plugin and want to make quick jump to any opened window.
Can I do that?

I have very many opened documents, using mouse click for this purpose is very diffucult.

You might want to assign a keyboard shortcut for the Left Custom Bar from the Keymap on the Help Menu. Once the focus is in the Open Documents plug-in bar, you can use Down arrow key to selec t a file to activate.

no feedback :-(

I keep reading the forums, but I want to have someone else to answer these questions. :-) The next version (v9) will improve the Snippets plug-in, where you can find or define many kinds of snippets. You can download the alpha version now.

I’ve been using EMEDITOR for years, but all of the sudden when I do a find, the text box to enter the find criteria is disabled.

I had 8.04 and upgraded to 8.05 and still have the same issue. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall or is there an easier way to fix this?

Thanks, Dave

I believe that you accidentally resized the Find dialog box. The Find/Replace dialog box allows resizing by dragging the right bottom corner with the mouse. Please drag the right-botto corner to resize so you can see the text box. In the future version (v9), you will need to press a certain button to switch between single-line text box and multi-line text box so you will not be confused any more.

Hello, friends

I have used this software for a while and I must say that it is nice and help me a lot in coding as an web designer! :-)
I have 2 questions here:
1. How could I setup emeditor to auto detect files’ encoding and thus open as is
2. Would this software support RTF format for I would like to color some texts sometimes.

Thanks,

When you open a file, select Open in the File menu, and in the Open dialog, check “Detect All” (or in the File tab of configuration properties, check “Detect All”). You will see a dialog box to select the correct encoding if multiple encodings are detected. For more information, please see our tutorial http://www.emeditor.com/modules/tutorials4/index.php?id=11

EmEditor does not support RTF format.

thanx for reply, but i dont find “Symblo List” in the commands list. Which category ?

There is no category. I think you are looking at Configuraiton Properties. Instead, you should right-click on the Project custom bar, select Tools sub-menu, and then select “Properties for Current Solution Template”.

I am dot net developer. For C# I am using VS.NET + Resharper.
I am trying trial EmEditor for programming.
The editor is good, but I dont understand how can I find any data info in the Symbol List.
I opened my c# solution (.sln) and saw symbols in the right pane. For what reason? Without quick search that feature IMO is not necessary.

Maybe I am wrong ..
What about search???
In the Resharper I can type:
Ctrl + T for quick access to the symbols
Ctrl + Shift + T – for quick access to the files in my project
Alt + – for quic access to the current file symbols.

And that resharper’s feauture is amazing !!! How I can reach this functionality in EmEditor? thanx.

If you want to customize keyboard shortucts, you can select Properties for Current Solution Template, and select Keyboard tab.
Then you can customize keyboard for “Symbol List”, but not for all commands you specify above.

Can EMEditor Remember And “Autopen” Last open Document ? How To do?

Same with firefox browser option : ‘Show my windows and tabs from last time’. when close program, nexttime open, will auto open the document.

Thanks.

v9 alpha has that exact feature. Please try it!

Is there any way to configure EmEditor to recognise a comment that starts with a specific character in the first position on a line and then continues to a specific end character?

In my case a comment always starts with a ‘C’ in column 1 and end with the next ‘$’ character and can be on a single line or multiple lines.

If I use a ‘C’ in the Highlight (2) dialog it will also trigger on a ‘C’ that lies in the middle of a line.

You can use a regular expression “^C” and check “Regular Expression” for the item you want to highlight. However, you cannot highlight multiple line comment in this way.

I am using Emeditor professional 8.05

I think you may misunderstand my words.

I created a text file, let’s call it [1.txt]
And then create a shortcut for the file, let calll the shortcut [1.lnk]

Then, I right click on [1.lnk], and see [emeditor] on context menu. Then I select [emeditor] in context menu.
Actual result: nothing happens.
expected result: launching emeditor and open [1.txt]

I understand your question, but I cannot reproduce your problem whether the file is shortcut or not. I tested on XP SP2 with EmEditor 8.05. Did you create “emeditor” context menu by yourself (by editing the Registry)? If so, remove that item, and you should use EmEditor to make that context menu item.

i’m writing some perl scripts to convert old sgml in western format to xml files in utf-8 format

some of my perl scripts need to be in western so that when i open the western encoded file, i can do search and replace on characters.
for example fancy quotes
i’ll convert those quotes to something like ’ or ”

some of my perl scripts need to have utf-8 characters in the scripts and then i’ll search and replace ” with the actual fancy quotes.

my problem is that if i open a pl file that is western encoded and then edit and save it, it saves it as utf-8

i’d like for the program to leave the file encoding alone so that some pl files stay western and some stay utf-8

is there a way to do that?

In the Configuration Properties, go to the File tab, click the Saving button, and in the Save Details dialog box, please make sure “Configured Encoding” is selected in the Encoding drop-down list. Then EmEditor should save a file with the same encoding as it opens.

I wish emeditor would be launched and open that text file.

I am running vista with SP2.

Which version of EmEditor are you using?

In the Customize More Shortcuts dialog box, can you uncheck “Add a shortcut to the Context Menu on Explorer” check box, click OK, and bring back this dialog to check “Add a shortcut to the Context Menu on Explorer” check box again and click OK? This dialog box can be accessed from the Customize dialog, Shortcut tab, click More Shortcuts button.
