EE is great. i have tried many editors but when i come across EmEditor,i think i found what i want. It’s the best Unicode-support editor i have ever seen.
BUT there is still something lacking so that i can’t let EE replace all editors in my computer.
in my opinion EE is suitable(or …say perfect:-) ) for daily editing, but when programming, i still have to use SciTE4Autoit3, which is the best programmer’s editor for me.

1. i can’t find calltips support in emeditor,(ie. type “ControlSend(” and automatically popup a tip box showing you how to use this function)

2. also there seems no abbreviation support in emeditor(ie. type “cgf” and hit a key to get “ControlGetFocus()”),

i think the best way is let user to define it in txt files, and Emeditor just load these file when editing particular files.
these tools are really important for a programmer.
HEX support means nothing to me but it’s still a good news to hear that you would add it in future :-)
something else: would the built-in autocomplete feature support both TAB and ENTER to finish a word in future? i mean, most editors including UE/VIM/SciTE use TAB to do that, it’s strange Emeditor use ENTER to do the same thing. :-?

1. Try EmEditor 7.5 alpha which support the parameter info with tooltip with the Projects plug-in.

2. You can use AutoComplete plug-in (you have to download separately at http://www.emeditor.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=4&lid=97)

After execute the macro, the “aaa” in the fourth paragraph or the fifth paragraph would be found out also;

How can I avoid it.
Thank you very much!

You cannot avoid this at current version. I will think about this in future versions. Thanks!

I purchased EmEditor to help me edit large (4.8 GB and larger) ASCII text files. I have a duo core laptop, WinXP Pro and 2 GB ram.

Can you recommend settings to optimize the Finding and Editing of text ?

Thanks :-)

You should be able to use EmEditor at default settings for maximum speed. However, if the text is not .txt file, you might want to try Text configuration to start with, and you might want to disable all plug-ins.

For opening large files, it is fairly pointless to wait hours in order to view the header of a 5gb video, or finding out the schema name of a 50gb database dump, or trying to edit 3 lines on a 6gb xml stream. What I am suggesting here have almost never been done by other editors before. What you do is specify a window within a large file that you want to edit. This is to say you let the program know where you want to start opening the file, and for how many bytes do you want the edit window to be. When you save, the beginning and the ending of the file are appended to your editing window. Many database programs use this technique, and i think it can be a valuable addition to EmEdit

Yes, I have been already thinking about this feature!

The Default Extension (specified in the File tab of configuration properties) was intentionally emptied in the newer versions. When you save a file, in the Save As dialog box, make sure to selecdt “Text (*.txt)” in the Save As Type drop-down list, OR enter “txt” in the Default Extension text box in the File tab of Text configuration properties.

Some of our perl scripts output a lot of data, and the top gets lost after 838 lines.

Is there a way to increase the output buffer size? We could output to a file, too, but that would seriously hamper our editing efficiency, not having the output in the output bar to work from.

Thanks!

israel.

I will increase the buffer size for the next major version. Thanks!

It should be the same as before.

Thanks for your information. I will address this issue in future versions. Thank you!

Function Bar and Reload as Binary (ASCII/Hex) are included in the Standard Main menu. If you have customized the main menu before, you will need to go to Tools > Customize Menus to reset the menus.

Ah, I see. Indeed, this could be the case.

Right mouse button must be kept pressing (not actually clicked) while you rotate the mouse wheel.

Yes, I do keep it pressed.
For example, in Opera I do the following:
1. Press the right mouse button.
2. While keeping the right button pressed, start scrolling the wheel.
3. Immediately a page switch window appears in the Opera window, where I see the list of all opened tabs, and the mouse wheel scrolls these tabs.
4. I scroll to the tab I need, then release the right mouse button which I kept pressed all this time. The switcher window disappears, and the selected tab is activated.

I tried absolutely the same in EmEditor, but after the step 2 absolutely nothing happens, as I scroll the wheel. Besides, when I release the right button after trying to scroll, the context menu does not appear: it shows that a) I did not release the button before scrolling started, and b) the mouse wheel is not completely ignored.

I tried Opera, and EmEditor works very similar to Opera except that EmEditor does not display the switch window. What kind of mouse and mouse driver do you use? Was the mouse wheel customized in the control panel?

[Yutaka Emura]

Function Bar and Reload as Binary (ASCII/Hex) are included in the Standard Main menu. If you have customized the main menu before, you will need to go to Tools > Customize Menus to reset the menus.

I will fix the Alt key issue on Function Bar and other issues.

Right mouse button must be kept pressing (not actually clicked) while you rotate the mouse wheel.

And one more:
6. When I press and hold the Alt key, the EmEditor window starts flickering as if being redrawn very frequently.

I will fix this flickering issue soon, and will release Alpha 2 soon.

Very nice work, thanks!

Problems/requests:
1. Customize -> Edit: Help button does not work.
2. “Mouse wheel with Right-click moves to next or previous document” does not work here (do I need to activate it somehow?)
3. In Binary mode (ASCII) some control characters are narrower than normal characters, and character aligning becomes incorrect. I’m using Courier New, 10; WinXP SP3 Pro. (screenshot of the cursor position)

4. Suggestion: it would be nice to see in Binary/Hex mode also the text to the right, as most hex editors do.

1. This is only alpha. No Help is updated.
2. You do not need to activate anything to use Mouse wheel while Right mouse button is hold. The tab must be enabled and multiple documents must be opened within one EmEditor window.
3. This is because some characters have zero width size.

[Yutaka Emura]

Also, “Search All Open Documents” check box was added to the Replace dialog.

We’re moving on from TextPad, and EmEditor does everything we need for e-book development except two things:

1) Replace in all files open
* I read in a recent post you plan to implement this in the next version. I’d like to add our vote in favor of that feature. Is this for certain???
2) Upper ascii search (e.g. [€-ÿ] ) results in “Invalid range end” error message. Non-range regex will work (e.g. [€‚ƒ„…†]), and lower-to-upper range will work (e.g. [~-ÿ]), so it seems to be the first upper ascii in the range causing the problem.
* Some kind of reassurance that this bug will be checked would be nice!

Thanks for your awesome work!

Israel.

1) Yes, the Replace in all files open option is already implemented in my PC. Please wait for the next major version release, or beta (or alpha) version.

2) EmEditor regular expressions are completely Unicode-based. Since € is U+20AC, and ÿ is U+00FF, this expression is invalid. You can use [^x00-x7f], which searches for any character not in the range of U+0000 – U+007F.

Thank you very much for your apply;
I am sorry that I had not made me understood by you;

I describe it again in details.
I use the exgex expression “on|off|yes|no|…” (the sign “…” indicates that the alternative number may count up to 100) to call the function “FindInFiles”, then when the search result displays, as you know the highlighted text may differ from each line, but how can I get the highlighted text in each line through macro.

please help me, thank you very much

I think the only way is to search for “on|off|yes|no|…” in the FindInFiles results.

This is my problem: how I can know which keyword (“on” or “off”) is highlighted in each line;
In other words, how I can get the highlighted text in the each line.
please help me, thank you very much

First increase “Search Colors” in the Display tab of configuration Properties to 2, and change “Search String (2)” to a different color.
After you search for “on|off”, in the search results, you will need to find “on” first, and then “off” next time.

What has been changed in this version?

It was a minor bug fix:
– Multiple-line comment coloring bug.
It will be again fixed on RC6.

[Yutaka Emura]

Also check “Highlight Matching Parentheses/Brackets” in the Hightlight(2) tab of configuration properties.

[Yutaka Emura]

This will be fixed on RC3. Thanks!

[Yutaka Emura]

Thanks! I will fix that in RC2.

Emeditor’s macro is very powerful!
Thanks in anyway.
I have one question.
I don’t know how to apply macro to all files within folder.
So I always have to do 70times for applying macro to files what I have to change.
I know the macro “Replace in files”. But some time this is not proper for my job.
Are there any way to Run Macro on all files within folder?

After you open all files within a folder with EmEditor, do something like this:

	docs = new Enumerator( editor.Documents );

	for( ; !docs.atEnd(); docs.moveNext() ){

	    doc = docs.item();

	    doc.Activate();

	

	    // do something with doc

	

	}

I think current line indicator should go through the returns and EOF character and stretch to the end of window, and it works that way in most cases. But it can not go through these characters and shrinks into a section in line comments, or when the highlight keyword setting includes “Highlight Right All”.
Please check demo here (Flash swf file): http://www.box.net/shared/0uvushe4oc :-D

I have fixed this issue for the next minor version. Thanks!

[Yutaka Emura]

I reproduced your issue. If you choose Sun-EXTB font in EmEditor, then all Extension B fonts will be properly displayed.

[Yutaka Emura]

You are right! I have reproduced this bug, and have already fixed it for the next minor version. Thanks!
