You can use #include directive, but it must be specified at the first lines of the script above the main code.

When I search for a lower case or uppercase letter after a quote, I do not find what I expect with the following two regular expressions
“[a-z] or “l

If the file contains the single line “Regular” and I use either of the above two regex, the find command will highlight “R, which it should not. Am I doing something wrong in the regex, or is this a bug in the regex engine?

Matthew

I guess you will have to check “Match Case” check box before you earch for [a-z] or l.

Okay, please don’t hate me for asking this if it has already, I truly did use the search here, and even googled this site and couldn’t find the answer.

So I made a new custom configuration for a new customized programming language with a custom extension “JPR”. In said custom configuration, I set the default extension to “JPR”. The problem is that when I open the files in EmEditor, the default configuration switches to “text”, and I have to switch it to JPR configuration manually every time.. How can I have it switch to my custom JPR configuration when I open the files automatically like it does for PHP, Perl, Javascript, etc scripts do?

I have the trial/evaluation edition of 8.1.

That is no problem. Open the JPR configuration properties, and select Association tab, and then make sure JPR is in the list of the Associated Extensions. I hope this helps.

Hi,

Since I upgraded to ver 8.0, the “Customize” pop up is displayed each time I start EmEditor.
Don’t know if this is a bug but what can I do to disable this?
Thanks for your help.

You are using an old language pack. Please switch to English user interface (in the Customize dialog > Language tab) untill the new version of language pack becomes available.

(?<!**) is negative lookbehind.

I am looking for the word “TEST”, but not if there is ** in front of it. Between ** and TEST may be spaces.

This is for our programming language where ** marks a comment.
So I am looking for TEST which is not commented out.

I will address this issue. Thanks!

Hi,

tested with 8.01:

Open a new document and paste these three lines:

TEST!!!
** TEST !!!
TEST!!!

Now goto start of the document and open find dialog with this regex:
(?<!**) *TEST

There are three parts marked in green, but the last line is never selected when pressing “find down” multiple times.

I reproduced your issue, but this expression is confusing. Can you explain what you are really searching for? Is it possible to show me a simpler example? Thank you.

Bigger multiline text input area for Find dialogs like in UltraEdit so you can see long search strings at once.

You can drag and drop the right bottom corner of the Find or Replace dialog box to enlarge the dialog box.

Vim has the nice feature that you can scroll through using the N and P keys. Is it possible to do this or something similar with the autocomplete plugin, so the user does not have to use the arrow keys to iterate through the items?

AutoComplete plug-in or WordComplete plug-in?
AutoComplete plug-in doesn’t contain a list box you can scroll up and down. WordComplete contains a list box, but you can’t customize the keys to scroll since this is a standard Windows control. You can, however, customize other commands such as “Show Candidates Manually” and “Complete” in the Keyboard tab of the plug-in properties.

Sure, is there already an Explorer plug-in? Seems no in this page http://www.emeditor.com/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=4 .

I hope some guru can do it for us soon.

Explorer plug-in is included in the default install of EmEditor Professional. You should find Explorer in the Plug-ins toolbar and in the Plug-ins sub menu on the Tools menu.

As we all know, if you right click on a file or folder in explorer, a “context menu” appears. Many Windows software add context menu item to it(such as Winzip, WinRAR, TortoiseSVN etc, of course EmEditor itself as well).

So, I hope I can quickly access that explorer context menu when I’m editing a file in EmEditor without bringing up a explorer window. For example, right click anywhere on the document, EmEditor popup its context menu with an extra menu item “show explorer context menu” so that we can access it.

It is not possible to customize the list of URL hyperlinks at current version. What prefixes do you want to add?

Topic. Thanks

You will need to change in Control Panel > Regional and Language Options. If you don’t want to change the settings in Regional and Language Options but still want to change the format in EmEditor, you might want to use a macro to insert Time/Date in your favorite format.

1>Strongly suggest that emeditor can recongize the different sections in HTML code.
Like :
….. is a Css sectin
… is a Javascript section.
The section could apply the corresponding configuration(Css section meet the Css document type).
Gengerally speaking, a single document can match multi-configurations, which section applied configuration could use the configuration’s font color, hightlight, keyboards … etc. Then it will be huge productivity improvement in web developing.(Actually editplus done well in this feature, also it’s autocomplete function works perfect in multi-type of document/section)

2> Live Template function is needed as well.
I’m using autocomplete plugin, it very simple but acceptable. When I change autocomplete library between different type of document, the process will be painful…
Live Template function is very popular in Ecllipse(template), Visual studio(snippet), Netbeans(template), IntelliJ(live template), Editplus(autocomplete) and easy to use and share.
Live Template will significant improving coding productivity, which save us a lot of time in dumb code.

3> Can snippets be titled? It’s hard to recognize the snippets in the side bar, and what mean of it.

Thanks!

1) EmEditor does recognize different sections in HTML code. See screenshots:
http://www.emeditor.com/modules/feature1/rewrite/tc_4.html

2) You can copy autocomplete.dll to a different name, and use both plug-ins. For instance, you can place both autocompleteHTML.dll and autocompletePHP.dll and check “HTML” in the plug-in properties for autocompleteHTML, and check “PHP” in the plug-in properties for autocompletePHP.

3) I am not sure what you mean by “titled”. You can change the location of the Snippets bar. Go to the plug-in properties of the Snippets plug-in, and change the custom bar position.

Hi,

I posted this bug some weeks ago while EmEditor was still in beta, but you said that you cannot reproduce it. Now I know why!

Please do the following:
– Be sure to have at least one jsee-File in “Macros/ Customize”
– Right click on a toolbar
– select “Customize Toolbars”
– Click “New”
– Add one or more jsee-macro files to the new toolbar.

When you are in registry mode, all works fine.
But when you are in portable ini mode, jsee files cannot be added to a toolbar.

I tested it with 8.00 final.

Oliver

I follows your instruction, but I am sorry to say that I still cannot reproduce your issue. I hope it is not a big issue…

For example, my system language is English (US) now, and I want to open a Japanese encoded text.
I double clicked the text file and:
7.02 and below would display “Some characters cannot be converted using the specified encoding. The file will be corrupted if you continue editing and save the file.”. Then “OK” to continue or “Cancel”.
8.00 would “flash” (may be this was the notify?). And then nothing happened.

I tried Japanese (Shift-JIS) text in both 7.02 and 8.00 using English (US) Windows, but in both cases, the warning does not appear. In this case, opening Shift-JIS text as Western European and Save as Western European does not corrupt the Japanese text. That is why the warning was not necessary. Opening an European text in Japanese Windows can show the warning because that process can corrupt the original text.

We have older versions available in our Download page http://www.emeditor.com/modules/download2/rewrite/tc_3.html , and you can download Version 7 portable version and test if you doubt any features. Please let me know if you still have any questions. Thank you!

I am sorry to say that performing the steps you detail above still has not solved the issue.

It has the ffect of removing the item from the context menu and then adding in to the context menu again but still when I click on the item in the context menu nothing happens.

I do have other items on my Windows context menu that work OK – for example a free text editor I used before finding emeditor called pspad.

Alternatively, you can try this:

1. Make sure you removed the original EmEditor menu item by going to EmEditor > Customize > Shortcuts > More Shortcuts.

2. Run regedit.exe.

3. Add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellEmEditor key.

4. Add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellEmEditorcommand key.

5. Set the default value of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellEmEditorcommand as “”C:Program FilesEmEditoremeditor.exe” “\%1″”

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your response.

I have tried restarting windows, I have tried running the installer again to “repair the installation”, I have tried to completely uninstall and re-install with various reboot involved and still no joy.

I have went to the configuration option you mention, switched it off, found the item was not in the context menu any more, switched it back on and found the item was now on the context menu but found it still doesn’t work.

I do realise this is probably something to do with a setting I have in Windows XP but is there anything else that can be investigated (windows registry setting, perhaps)?

Thanks

Steve

Thanks for your updates. I tried on Windows XP and there was no problem. Try this:

1. Open Command Prompt (Run cmd.exe).

2. Go to EmEditor install folder (usually C:Program FilesEmEditor).

3. Type regsvr32 /u emedshl.dll. This should remove “EmEditor” item from the Explorer Context Menu.

4. Type regsvr32 emedshl.dll. This should add “EmEditor” item to the Explorer Context Menu.

I hope this works.

However I have been having problems opening files using the right click menu (context menu) in Windows XP.

I cright click on a text file in Windows XP and select the item “EmEditor” from the context menu and nothing happens.

If I run from a desktop or start menu shortcut it runs fine.
I am running Windows XP SP3 and I am running EmEditor Professional version 8.00

Can anyone please help?

Thanks

Did you try restarting Windows? If you still have this issue, go to the Shortcut tab of the Customize dialog box, click “More Shortcuts…” button, and uncheck “Add a shortcut to the Context Menu on Explorer” check box. Click OK, and OK. Try again the same except check “Add a shortcut to the Context Menu on Explorer” this time. Click OK and OK. Now do you see the difference?

Sometimes it is useful to be able to create persistent variables in a macro that can be seen by other macros. As far as I know, if the user of emeditor wants to pass variables around between different macros, this can be done already in the following ways:

1) use the windows clipboard;
2) use the windows registry;
3) use a temporary text file;

One problem with all of these methods is they can be a bit slow and cumbersome to use on a regular basis. Is it possible to create a macro that can directly read and write to temporary registers such as is possible with Vim or Emacs?

No, there are no global variables, unfortunately. I would suggest writing a sub-function to handle global variables in one of the above ways.

7.02 and below are OK.

I know that the could be regexp like (10|12|20|34|41), but there is no the numbers in the text.

In this case, you cannot change the color of particular line numbers. Howerver you can toggle bookmarks on particualr lines if you would like. Bookmarks can be set by using SetBookmark Method (Selection Object) if you write a macro.

Current 8.00 and earlier versions have tab close button X right-aligned which is very inconvenient on big monitors.
Please enable tab close button on currently active tab itself (somewhat like Opera9.6)

On the Tab tab of the Customize dialog box, make sure “On Active Tab” or “On Each Tab” is selected in the Close Button drop-down list.

No, it is not what I want.
I have array of integers in my macro, let’s say [10,12,20,34,41].
And I want to have different look of those lines in the editor window.
For example, if the numbers could be lines with compiler warnings.
it is weird to click each line in output window to find it in editor window (altought sometimes it is useful too). Much better to have the lines highlihted in the editor window.

Also, some tools (notably Visual C++ run with /analyze command line switch) may output a few lines numbers for each error or warning, thus make unuseful location the errors by the tag regexp.

May by the solution is to write a plugin to hook the points where emeditor calls WinAPI to draw the text. But it seems to be a quite complex hack.

OK. In Configuration Properties, select Highlight (1) tab, and then you can enter a regular expression to highlight certain numbers. For instance, ^[0-9]+? will select first numbers at each line.
