Hi,
I am evaluating the latest ver of EmEditor 7.0.0.9
I am running English WinXP+Sp3, non-unicode language is set to “Chinese PRC”

Question1:
How do I configure EmEditor such that it automatically open a text file under “English” encoding if the text file contains only English texts (no Chinese or other language character) and automatically open text file under a unicode encoding if a text file contains mix languages content?

Question2:
What is “Configured Encoding” under File->Saving->Encoding setup?

There is no “English” encoding, but there is Western European (iso-8859-1) encoding. You can check “Detect All” when you open a file, or check “Detect All” in the File tab of Configuration Properties. However, nothing is perfect to detect the correct encoding of files you open, so you might need to “Reload” with the correct encoding after you open files, by double-clicking the encoding in the status bar.

“Configured Encoding” is the encoding used to open the file. It should be labeled “Same Encoding”

Now Opera 9.5 was finally released, with all its advantages and disadvantages. One of the latter is complete removing file extensions from the cached files. :-( Now when I try to view source HTML code (of course, I’m using EmEditor, not Opera’s internal viewer), the file is opened just as Text, not as HTML, because the file is named something like opr000A3, and no extension at all. :-(

Unfortunately, Opera men seem to put it like the greatest super-convenient feature, though it is obviously not (at least, for me and for many other users complaining at that from the very first alphas), and they strongly refuse to return extensions back. Hence, my suggestion: what if EmEditor allowed special association rules, like e.g. “All files from the following folder are HTMLs”?

Just now I found that I knew very little about EE possibilities: I have just set /c HTML command line parameter for opening source code from Opera, and all this works fine! For the nth time I discover what a great program EE is! :-)

Anyway, extended association rules still may be very useful. For example, to set specific syntax for Makefile, or to README files (that are also without extensions and therefore cannot be distinguished from each other).

I am glad you figured out. Also, you can use “EMEDHTML.EXE”, which is equivalent to emeditor.exe /c HTML.

Hi All,

I know how to setup comment for the whole line. If I want a inline comment, how can I set it? Also, if I have more than 2 comments, how can I set it up?

I am tried to setup a configuration for SPICE file (a circuit simulation file). SPICE file has three types of commands.

* line comment
$ line comment
; inline comment, it can insert a line and comments everything after it.

How to set this up?

Thanks.

Can you give me more examples of the inline comment?

Currently, there is no way to setup more than two line comments in EmEditor.

EmEditor version: 7.00.9

When creating a new document, I often create a blank file in a certain folder and edit it in EmEditor.
With ‘Detect All’ enabled in the File tab of Properties dialog, EmEditor always opens a blank(0 byte) file as ‘UTF-16LE without Signature’.
I think it will be better if it follows the encoding settings of ‘New Files’ or there are separate encoding settings for blank files.

When the file size is zero, the encoding should be one specified in the “Opening Encoding” dropdown list in the File tab of the configuration Properties. I will fix that by the next minor version. Thanks!

If I remove the sign “#” (a line comment character in Perl) from the string, the highlighting returns to normal:

print "Hello World!n" if ($something);

This is strange. I cannot reproduce your problem.
Can you try resettings all configurations or Perl configuration?

You can clear file history from the EmEditor main window, Customize, History tab, and then Clear History button.

Hi there,

I’ve recently started to use EmEditor and quite happy so far with it.
Its pretty cool that it can load very large files very quickly.
I have some suggestions here and was wondering if the following enhancements could be considered in the future.

1) Allow bookmarks to be customized. .
Users can set bookmark colors+icons and annotate each bookmark with some description or comments.
The bookmarks can then be probably saved into a separate file residing together with the original.
When the mouse hovers over the bookmarks, we can then see the description in the tool tip.

This feature is definitely not for the EmEditor core, and it has to be done by a plug-in. I might have to add new APIs to make this happen. Let me see if I can do that…

2) Allow copying of all the lines being bookmarked. .
This can probably open in a new tab like the find in files with the hyperlinks back to the original document.

You can write a macro to copy all lines with bookmarks.

3) Additional Find dialog feature
Allow Find dialog to search for all occurrence and open the list in a new tab like the find in files with the hyperlinks back to the original document.

You can use the Search plug-in (you can find it within the default install).

4) new macro object for Find in Files.
Allow access to the file in files method in macros.

Use editor.FindInFiles method.

5) Support for VB like syntax?
Begin-end statements collapsing and stuff.

You can customize the Outline plug-in for your situation.

Sorry if any of these is already in EmEditor.
Thanks and keep up the good work! :-D

You are welcome!

(To answer your q’s: The .esy is my own PHP highlighter. And then, viewing any .php file)

I have Em installed on my desktop and laptop. The copy on laptop is broken, and it is using settings/highlighting exported from the desktop version. It seemed to break when I imported the highlighting file. To test, I imported the same settings onto a third computer and it did not break.

Now, the odd part is if I run EmEditor on my desktop from the laptop’s install directory on a network share, I will see broken highlighting. Essentially, I can run two emeditors side by side with the same file open and see both highlighted differently.

Since EmEditor loads settings from the registry, both are operating with the same configuration set. The differences are: files in the install directory, install location, and Em version. Though with quick tests, changing the install directory and installing new versions doesn’t help. I will try a clean install of the latest version and see how that goes. But the question remains, what is going on? :)

Please make sure both EmEditor use the Registry by looking at the About dialog box on the Help menu.

Please email me your esy file (after zipped) at [email protected]. I will try to reproduce your issue. Thanks!

Check “Use Regular Expressions” in the Replace dialog box, and then

Find:
do(w+?)

Replace with:
do 1

Are you happy with this? :-)

Dear Yutaka,

thank you for the replay!

SortStringA does not work as supposed. For example, if you have two word in polytonic Greek( in different lines): καθὼς and ἐν then there will be no result! Of course ἐν> καθὼς! Also the words must be in different lines because otherwise one will take no output. Am I wrong? Could you please design SortStringA better so that the user can choose or make some changes of the alphabetical order of his locale? I think such plug-in will be very useful for people working with OCR programs and need to make a user-defined dictionary for the Ancient Greek or Latin for better recognition!

Thank you in Advance!

What version of EmEditor and SortString plug-in are you using?

Did you check the plug-in properties of the SortString plug-in? From there you can select the locale, and other options. What locale are you using for the plug-in?

Dear friends!

Do you know if it possible to create a unicode SortString plug-in using one or more unicode utf-8 texts(for example ancient polytonic Greek) using some user-defined letter ordering? The result must be a new text with one unicode word per line with no repetitions! I have tried SortStringA but without result for unicode Utf-8 encodings.

Thanks in advance!

SortStringA is Unicode plug-in, so it should work. However, if you want to create a new text and want to remove repetitions, you might need to write a macro for that purpose.

Is it possible to have true “0” margins – top, left, right, bottom

This might help in sending pure ascii to the special printer, mentioned in this thread:

http://www.emeditor.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=702&forum=2

It seems that if we can get true 0 margins all the way around that this might work.

The config got it down to 0.12 (or near that) for L, R, T, B for a “Letter” size in Page Config

Also, what would it cost to have this capability custom created?

The editor seems to work for us very nicely otherwise.

Thanks very much

Even if you choose 0 margins, EmEditor still send printer graphically; Not pure characters. I think all Windows programs, even Notepad, send graphical data to printer. I have never tried, but you might want to try the Command line box, and then type

TYPE filename > PRN

This works in the old DOS box.

Saves a little time hunting for the files each time.

Thanks :-)

Check “Save Workspace Automatically” and “Restore Workspace Automatically” in the Window tab of the Customize dialog box (on the Tools menu).
