Hi,I want a macro to run each time EmEditor starts. Is that possible?
I develop a lot of macros at our company and want to have a macro check for updates each time EmEditor starts so that a macro can download new versions of the macros.Oliver
You can use various events (on the Macros menu > Customize dialog box), but unfortunately there is no event like “EmEditor launched”. You will need to use a command line option (/mf) to specify a macro to run.

Thanks for the response. I haven’t actually used Visual Studio before, so I guess if some other software follows this method it makes sense that you might have used it. However, it does seem to be more of a Word Processor or IDE behavior than a Text Editor behavior (at least based on all other text editors I’ve tried so far!)Could this perhaps be made a global option, or even something set per Configuration?
Selection Mode: Text / IDE
I might add that option in the future. (I will add that to our wish list.) Thanks!

I’m trying several editors and also EmEditor and now i noticed an Auto Complete Plugin but how can i create my own file for specific language?Do i need to open an excisting and edit manual?
Auto Complete plug-in (not Word Complete plug-in, right?) is a little tricky, but you will need to create your own Auto Complete file (.eac). Just copy html.eac or any .eac file included in the plug-in folder to another file, and edit whatever you need. Then go to Auto Complete plug-in Properties, and import the file you just created.

…That removal of the first 5 symbols in each line occurs for acceptable time.
But removal for example last 5 symbols in each line pass for… I do not know how many, since in 15 minutes of expectation I take off the editor through the Tasks manager.
PS. Select block I do through Ctrl-Shift-F8
PS2. My computer is good(intel c2d E6750 + 2gb ram)
I tried to reproduce this issue, but I couldn’t. However the status dialog should appear, so I will add that dialog box on the next version, and see if we can reproduce this issue.

EmEditor Pro 7.00.3You should right click on the downloaded file, and then select “Run as Administrator” to run the installer as Administrator.

It would be nice to be able to configure the font in the find/replace dialogs. Since most (from what I’ve experienced) programming is done with fixed-width fonts it seems sensible to be able to have the option of using fixed-width in the dialogs too.I’m guessing this can be changed globally within Windows but I’m not interested in changing the way all my other programs display text, just EmEditor.
Regards,
shastafirMake sure “Change Font for Find/Replace Drop-Down list” is checked, and “Change Font only if Character Set of Selected Font is not System Default” is not checked in the Search tab of the Customize dialog box (on the Tools menu).

Just to clarify:The remembered column position is updated when a left/right cursor movement is done on a line.
EDIT: It should also be updated when the cursor is moved by clicking with the mouse cursor.
Thanks for your inputs. I might consider that in future.

HiyaJust wanted to say, I’ve monitored the program for a month now, although this is the first month I haven’t used the program very much – typical!
Anyway, ever since removing US english from the list of installed languages on the Windows PC, the program has worked perfectly. Thanks again for such a great program.

Thanks for updates! That’s good to hear.

I’ve been trying out numerous text editors in an effort to find one that will meet my needs… so far EmEditor is the closest, but I’ve come across one minor quirk that behaves differently than I would expect, and differently than others I’ve tried.Say I’m editing a file with 10 lines. I want to copy line 3 and insert it either before or directly after the existing line 3.
Normally I would have the cursor at at the beginning of line 3. I would hold the SHIFT key and press CURSOR DOWN once. This highlights the entire line 3 including the line break, and positions the cursor at the beginning of line 4. Then I need to insert this line either between line 2 and 3, or 3 and 4 (either will work for me).
What I have always done in ordinary Notepad is press CTRL-C, then CURSOR UP once. and then CTRL-V to insert the line. However in EmEditor this results in an unexpected behavior: after pressing CURSOR UP, instead of the cursor being positioned at the beginning of line 3, it is instead positioned at the beginning of line 2. So it has jumped from line 4 to line 2. What I would have expected is that pressing CURSOR UP would result in the cursor moving from the beginning of line 4 to the beginning of line 3, and also remove the selection from line 3. I can only get EmEditor to do that if I hold SHIFT while pressing CURSOR UP.
Since the cursor is visually drawn at the beginning of line 4, I would not expect it to jump to line 2. This is actually very similar behavior to how Wordpad and Word works (treats the selection as a “block”), EXCEPT that both Wordpad and Word do not draw the cursor while you are selecting text, so there’s less expectation as to where it will move to.
Notepad, Notepad2, UltraEdit and PSPad all work as I would expect, so is this a specific design decision on EmEditor’s part to emulate Word?
If so… then man, that’s about the third editor that’s been 99\% perfect except for ONE crucial thing!
EmEditor’s behavior is similar to Visual Studio (C++), and the cursor still blinks. So, Visual Studio’s behavior is a minor behavior? If some people prefer other behaviors, I might need to make it an option. Anyone, other opinions on this topic?

I just want to launch MTASC compilation from EmEditor.
By the way, your product is great!Henri
I needed to edit your message. Please do not include languages other than English. Thanks!
I don’t know any plug-ins that support MTASC. I am not sure how you want to integrate MTASC with EmEditor, but you might find the following information useful.

I hope this helps.

I recently dealt with some poorly generated XHTML files. The generating script forgot to insert any return, so the resulting files were only one row but with 1~5 million columns.EmEditor bacame very slow when I tried to sort the file out, both in navigation and search and replace. I used the latest Emeditor 7.0.3.
In the end, I had to use Notepad++ to edit them. Everything worked fine in Notepad++ regarding these pathetic files. But I still like EmEditor better. So please look at this issue and see if you can replicate it! Thanks! :-x
Please email me that sample file after zipped to [email protected] if you really need that optimization. Each file has a different factor that slows the overall speed, so it is important to reproduce your situation here. Thanks!

Is there a way to word wrap and include the CR-LF so that when the text is pasted to another location the wrap is preserved?You can select all (CTRL + A), and press F7 (or Edit menu > Convert Selection > Insert Returns) should insert CR+LF at the word wrapping positions. After copy and paste, you can undo by pressing CTRL + Z.

This means they cannot be used.However, as a workaround it is possible to download them separately and install them.
I tried the latest version emed7003ep64.msi, and there was no problem. Which version (installer file) did you use, and which plug-ins are not working? Are these standard plug-ins that come with the installer?

Thanks!
As you noticed, the RC version is already deleted, and there was timing issue with download.com. Now everything is resolved. Please download the latest released version from:

It didn’t seem to fill in the parameters. Did I miss something?
You will need to enter parameter values as described in the above screenshots.I never was prompted for any values. I even tried your example, and it did not work either. Should I have uninstalled before installing? It does say version 7.00.3.
Please make sure a backshash is not escaped by another backslash. For instance, if you want to enter {x}, you should not enter {x}. If you drag and drop the sample text above, the plug-in automatically escapes a backslash with another backslash.
Can we apply a name to the snippets rather than use the text?
I am not sure what this means. Can you please clarify this?Sorry for not being clear. Instead of the Snippet showing “//Title : {Title}n” in the Snippet window, it would show “C# Program Header”, or “ASP Comment Block”, “HTML Table Block” etc. Basically be able to name the snippets.
Does this help?
OK. Thanks for your clarification.

Limitation on text string size; can it be larger? 32 or 64K?
Then I should save the data to a text file rather than the Registry. I might work on that.

EmEditor DOM is not exposed for other applications
I am not very competent in Windows C application programming, so my question might appear stupid… I was under impression that everything (well, almost) that user can do with EmEditor interface – is possible via macros. The plugins allow to add things like extra windows and extra controls on the existing window (like expand-collapse buttons of the outline plugin). The plugins seem to have ver integrated way of communication with base EmEditor. I am very surprised to hear that there could not be a plugin that sends a “mini macro command” to base EmEditor for execution, and gets a value in return. But what do I know, maybe that requires extensive reprogramming and extra memory load. I’d say that exposing the DOM would allow to stop doing duplicate work with supporting similar range of functions for macros and plugins.
Thanks for inputs! I was not accurate in my previous reply. Actually a plug-in can be used as a communication layter between EmEditor DOM and outside applications if someone writes that plug-in. At any events, it is not very easy. I hope I clarified my points.

I apologize if this has been asked before. The configuration files, for the removable installation, are kept in .ini files. The only import option is to import from a file. I assume that it is referring to a .reg file and not an .ini file since the default file filter is .reg. Is this true? Is it possible to import all of the information from the eeConfig, eePlugins, and eeComon .ini files into the registry? The reason I ask is that I have spent considerable time configuring my removable installation (which I use the majority of the time) and would like to import all of those configurations to my desktop. Please tell me this is possible. :-DXavier
That is not possible at current version, unfortunately. I might consider that in future versions. Thanks!

I use python script and emeditor to edit it.
If I comment something using “comment”, emeditor inserts “#” at the begining of the line, and outline show unimportant branch.
I tried to change comment symbol to ” #”, but emeditor can’t uncomment after that (and it’s a bad way, because this outline branch will appear on another level).1. Is there a way to insert a comment symbol not at the beginning of line, but before the first symbol in the line?
2. Or a way to say outline not to branch lines that starts with special symbols (but I like 1. much more).Thanks.
The Comment command in EmEditor uses comment strings defined in the Hightlight(2) tab of configuration properties. You may customize those properties if you want to use different strings for comments. If you want to insert comments at different places, you might want to write a macro for your specific purpose. The Outline plug-in might need customization. You can change how Outline plug-in interprets nodes and branches from the Outline properties.

Hello,Is there any tutorial “How to cook your own plugin for EmEditor”? Being C# developer, I find it hard to grasp the programming of plugins in C by looking on the sources of existing samples available here for download. I’d be happy to see some sort of “basic plugin example” that would be good start, and then learn how it can be extended and also understand what are the limitations in interoperability between EmEditor and the plugin – what kind of features are acutally possible, and what not.
As I have previously said, I’d like to get a plugin that would be a floating window with embedded browser, that could be loaded with local or external URL. The JavaScript in the loaded HTML could have access to the EmEditor DOM, and vice-versa – the EmEditor macros could have access to the loaded window’s DOM. To my opinion, that would be like sacred grale – DHTML interface to build visually-enhanced mini-applications to enhance the functionality of basic EmEditor.
Unfortunately, there is no “basic plugin example”, but there are a number of source code available at http://www.emeditor.com/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=6 and some are very basic, especially “Word Count plug-in” might be a first one to look at. However, unfortunately, EmEditor DOM is not exposed for other applications, partly because EmEditor wants to be light-weighted.

I have tried both 7.00.1 and 7.00.2 and the problem is on both.I hope that you will make this a priority because our users will waste a lot of time because of theis bug.
Thanks for pointing out that bug. I will fix that immediately.
