I noticed strange problems in how EE processes regular expressions.

1. Start the portable version of EE 8.04 with clean settings and open a text file with the following contents:

>MDB

	>NSCopy +

	>Resourse Extractor +

2. Press Ctrl+H, enter the Find expression:
^([^n])
and Replace with expression:
>1

3. Check the Use Regular Expressions checkbox, press Replace All.

4. The result is:

>>MDB

	>>>N>SCopy +

	>>Resourse Extractor +

You can see that the second line is processed incorrectly.

If I perform the same find-replace step-by-step, I get the same result (in the “NSCopy” string the letters N and S are found and replaced as if they were located at the beginning of the line), though they are not.

I reproduced your issue, and I will fix this issue soon. Thanks!

You can highlight the current line by changing the color of the current line in the Display tab of configuration properties. Did you want a different behavior than this way?

Simple numeric or alphanumeric Sort of lines is possible by using plug-ins or writing a simple macro. See these plug-ins and macro:

Hi All,

I am a new user and I wonder is there any way to change EmEditor’s default font setting, may I use the font & size I choosed as new default ? the default save coding (currently mine is “Traditional Chinese – just like ANSI” and I want it be “Unicode – UTF16LE”)?

Btw, I have searched for similar topics of these questions, but the search function here seems not good or my skill suck?

Thanks in advance for any help,

echo

Yes, you can change the font settings from configuration Properties, Display > Font.

How I can get lowercase words (html & css)?

I guess you are still using configurations from older versions. You might go to HTML Properties (and CSS Properties), select Highlight (1) tab, and then click Reset to reset all highlight words. The default keywords are set in lower cases.

It would be great if I could get the full filename opened to the clipboard by right-clicking it. Even better, a copy filepath and a second option with copy full filename to clipboard.

By the way, I am user since emeditor 6.0 and this is the best editor ever! Love the 64-bit version! So fast!

Thanks again, and keep up the great work,

There is a command called “Copy File Path Name” on the File name by default. If you could find this command, you might need to add this command in the Customize menus on the Tools menu. There is also “Copy File Directory Name” command available in the All Commands and also for you to customize in the menus or keyboard shortcuts. If you just want the file name without path, you might want to write a macro.

Need someway to change the current directory, which seems to be set on save as, but not set on open file dialog or on save.

This happens when I start editing a file on a directory and then have to open and edit a series of files on a different directory. I have to specify the directory over and over for every file being opened.

Opening a file should reset the default directory, or at least, provide a checkbox to allow it to change.

Maybe two current directories? One for SaveAs and another for OpenFile?

Thanks,
opedroso :-)

By default, the Windows OS controls the initial folder when you display Open or Save As dialog boxes. EmEditor doesn’t control these initial folders unless you check “Remember Last Folder” check box in the “Customize” dialog box. It would be helpful if you could let us know what your settings are and which OS you use.

I didn’t notice when this change was introduced, but earlier the command Erase Highlight cleared the highlighting in the current document only, but now it clears it in all the documents.

EE 8.03, 8.04

I think I changed this behavior. I might have to add another option or create a separate command for this purpose. Thanks for your input!

Hello again,
After a clean install of EmEditor things are much better.If i close EE with a workspace (multiple tabs) open and start it over from the main .exe file,the workspace is restored.

However if i try to open a file without EE already running,the last workspace is discarded and EE starts a new workspace.

Are the save/restore workspace functions designed to work that way?

Is there any way to get EE not discard the last workspace and instead open the new file alongside with those in the last workspace?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your comments and input on this workspace. Currently, this is the supposed behavior, but I understand it should be corrected. I will try to correct this behavior by the next major version. Thank you!

That’s strange. It didn’t crash on my machine.

Hello,

Is there a way to run a macro (.jsee) on all files in a folder? If you have, for example, 500 files and you want to run a macro for all of them…Is opening all files the only solution to accomplish this?

Thx!

You can write a macro to enumerate all files within a folder. It should be easy by using an external object “FileSystemObject”. See Files Collection for an example.

It still indents by the full amount. Even if I just change the value and call Save() and don’t restore any old value, all indentation is still by the old amount.

I’m using release 7.02, by the way.

How about TabColumns insread of IndentColumns?

Why do you still use 7.02? Can you try the newest version?

Sorry, I just don’t understand how to execute the auto indent in a file.
I’m mostly using PHP.
I checked “Auto indent”.
I set begin indent to {
I set end indent to }
I set end of statement to ;

But there’s no change in my php file. I guess there’s a button/menu option to execute it?

I just don’t know how to execute the auto indentation.

For reference, in Eclipse you mark all text you want to auto-indent and press Ctrl-alt-f, and it does the job for you. I’m guessing this is a similar feature.

EmEditor cannot automatically format just by entering this information in the Tab/Indent dialog box. EmEditor will indent while you type, but not after you have finished typing. For your purpose, you will need an external tool to do formatting.

Just e-mailed the settings.

I received your email. It seems that the “EmEditor Quick Start” option in the Shortcut tab of Customize dialog did not work with Auto Restore Workspace. Please uncheck “EmEditor Quick Start” option in the Shortcut tab of Customize dialog” while I am working on this issue. Thank you for finding this bug!

If you try to open a particular file with EmEditor — like double-clicking a file in Explorer — then, not all files will be restore but just a file you try to open.

I am not doing this.

If you run EmEditor without any files in command line, then all the saved files should be restored. This is the specification now, but I might add an option in the future.

This is what I am doing and it is not restoring the workspace.

However,I know that the workspace is being saved because if I left click on the emEditor Icon on the task basr and select restore workspace it does restore.

Like the other issue, can you please email me at [email protected] with the exported settings after zipped? I tried with your settings you emailed me before, but “Restore Workspace” and “Save Workspace” checkboxes are not checked. When I checked these options, the workspace did restore correctly. I must have used different settings. So, if you can email me the settings when you have this issue, I will try to debug the issue. Thank you!

I did select multiple lines and it still does not work. I know it used to work.

So I installed EMeditor on another computer and the tab worked. Then I exportedimported my settings from the one that does not work into the new one and it also stopped working.

Would you please email me at [email protected] with the exported settings after zipped? I will try to reproduce your issue. Thank you.

I received your email. Thanks!
I imported your settings, and I reproduced your issue. The issue was somehow your TAB was not assigned to “Indent” command any more. Please go to configuration properties, Keyboard tab, select “Edit” category and “Indent” command, press TAB in the text box and click “Assign” button. This will resolve the issue. I will try to reproduce your other issue about restore workspace shortly.

It used to be that when I select a line then hit the tab key the line would be moved over based on the tab.

Now the line gets replaced by the tab.

I do not have “replace tabs with space” setting turned on.

Because of this I can no longer select multiple lines and tab them.

What happened

It should work. You will have to select multiple lines. If you select a single line or a portion of a line, the selection will be only replaced by a tab.

It seem that the autocomplete plug-in can only have 1 active auto complete file.

That, If I want to work with 2 different languages I would have to re-import the word file for each language.

Is this true?

Or you can copy autocomplete.dll to another file, for instance, autocomplete2.dll. Then you can define words independently both plug-ins. However, in the next major version — v9, we will include all Auto Complete features into the Snippets plug-in and multiple configurations can exist in the same plug-in.

When I type “editor.” (with a period) that the properties and methods should pop up.

To do this, you need to create a more detailed macro with all the methods associated with particular objects. So it is not easy.

Then, you want to change the keyboard assignment. You can customize from the Keyboard map or configuration Properties > Keyboard to set all functions keys.
