    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 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.

    Before trying the narrowing command, please make sure the Outside of regions background color is different from the General background color.

    It seems like when you have two commented lines together it still gets collapsed. sample code below.

    Version: EmEditor Professional 8.05

    OS: Win XP Pro 32-bit

    Key Hardware: two monitors, Radeon X300 video card

    Bug Description: When using two monitors, when EmEditor is maximized in the second monitor, lines of text are not updated correctly. Characters go missing. Doing anything that causes that particular line of text to be redrawn (such as moving the cursor to that line) causes the missing characters to appear. Doing anything that causes the whole window to be redrawn at once (such as scrolling) causes the characters to disappear again. This does not happen on the primary monitor. This does not happen when EmEditor is not maximized.

    Workaround: Instead of maximizing EmEditor on the second monitor, position and stretch the window to fill the entire screen.

    I use two monitors all the time, but I never have problems. I currently use Windows Vista (64-bit), but I also used Windows XP (32-bit). I would try another kind of video card.

    Hi folks,

    I do a lot of programming for old-style systems, and as such, it’s generally easiest if I try to keep my lines of code to 80 characters or less.

    I’d like to put a margin guide, such as a light grey line or some such thing at column 80 in EmEditor. Is there a way to turn on such a right margin guide? I’ve been looking, and can’t find one. If there’s not such a thing, can I suggest it as a feature request?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    You might want to change the background color of the “Outside of regions” in the Display tab of configuration properties.

    In EmEditor v9 alpha, the Outline plug-in was modified to ignore commented lines. You might want to try that new alpha version.

    1) having some indicator of what has changed in a file would be killer. Hippoedit and notepad++ show vertical lines in the gutter. The thicker line indicates lines in the editor which have changed since the last save. The thinner ones indicate lines that have changed in the current editing session and have already been saved. IDE’s all have this. There’s no reason why editors can’t. It’d be killer in combination with a good integration with VCS (I like mercurial).

    In EmEditor, if you display line numbers, modified lines are displayed as thick bold-font line numbers. I hope this helps.

    “Search Only Word” will not work well with Regular Expressions. Instead, you should use Word Boundaries:

    Please, clarify if this behavior is only at the current version or will be permanent… to begin editing my macros now… :-o

    Cheers,

    All versions. The word boundary regular expressions are available both on v8 and v9. So you shouldn’t use “Search Only Word” checkbox with regular expressions.

    Hi.
    I found a strange behavior with this regexp:
    “el( |rn)(l+?)(ega|aba|ase)” [OnlyWord]

    It doesn’t match phrases as “el llegaba” or “el llegase”.
    I guess that the subexpression “ega” is blocking the results, but the OnlyWord condition should not be enough?
    (I tried “ega” and even “ga” at the three positions, with the same behavior).

    BTW
    “el( |rn)(l+?)(ega|aba|ase)( |,|;|.|:|!|?|$|_|-|<)" [OnlyWord]
    works as expected.

    I found a new case of the formerly reported issue?

    (EmEditor 8.04, Windows XP SP3)

    As I wrote in another thread, please use regular expressions for word boundaries instead:

    The following escape sequences match the boundaries of words:

    < Matches the start of a word.
    > Matches the end of a word.
    b Matches a word boundary (the start or end of a word).
    B Matches only when not at a word boundary.

    I will add thse expressions to the Help. Thank you!

    Hola, amigo Yutaka.
    EM is a great product, but at your request (“earlier rather than later”) I want to report here several issues (all versions). I numbered’em to facilitate your answers :-D
    Sorry for my bad English, I’ll try to be as clear as possible.

    1. The OR operator with ‘Search Only Word’ got confused if an including word goes first at the expression (two or more):
    (siempre|sintagma|si) OK, matches ‘siempre’/’sintagma’/’si’
    (si|siempre|sintagma) BAD, matches ‘si’ but not ‘siempre’/’sintagma’
    (If this is the expected behavior, please say it at “Regular Expression Syntax” section inside Help)

    2. “Find and Replace in Files” operations treat the special chars (‘ñ’, ‘ç’, accented vowels) as word boundaries. For example: “aca” with ‘Search Only Word’ matches the first part of “acañar” or the last parts of “austríaca”, “ilíaca” and so………
    BUT if “Use Regular Expressions” is enabled too, EM works well (!!!). (F&R at open files never have any problem).

    3. Please stop the “Escape sequence” auto triggering in F&R dialog (I already said it in a previous post :-(). Besides the additional click to deactivate it, it always duplicates / and chars at Find Line. A nicer behavior could be remember the last user selection of switches.

    4. The dialog “Treat the following characters as alphanumerics” (Customize) is working…? (i.e., it applies to what operations?)
    If I add any alien char (for example @) EM still treats it as non-letter (using ‘Search Only Word’ or the w operator).

    5: (Helpfile) Please include two clarifications (for regexp newbies as I… was ;-)):
    a) The ordinals (º,ª) are always treated as alphanumeric, not word boundaries, so l and w includes’em.
    b) The “(?” subexpressions allow several strings with I (OR operator), but the lookbehind ones must be lenght fixed.

    Thank you very much for your time, attention and talent!
    Saludos desde Perú,

    “Search Only Word” will not work well with Regular Expressions. Instead, you should use Word Boundaries:

    The following escape sequences match the boundaries of words:

    < Matches the start of a word.
    > Matches the end of a word.
    b Matches a word boundary (the start or end of a word).
    B Matches only when not at a word boundary.

    I will add thse expressions to the Help.

    “Treat the following characters as alphanumeric” did not work when searching. This will be fixed in the next alpha version (alpha 19).

    In order to stop the “Escape sequence” auto trigerring in F&R dialog, you can now uncheck both “Use Selected Text in Find/Replace dialog box” and “Use Word at Cursor in Find/Replace dialog box” in the “Search” tab of the Customize dialog box.

    Thanks so much for your input!

    Checked items in the list are brackets to be recognized as paried brackets. Some of these are double-byte characters. You seem to have no Japanese fonts installed in your system, and that is why some of items look squares.
