Hello,

What can be a problem?
Thank you.

You will have to select text where you want to count words. If you want to count words in the entire document, select all (CTRL + A) first.

hello

I know that emeditor is a text editor and not a word processor, but I wonder if in next versions emeditor support rich text

by rich text, I mean bold, underlined, etc text, columns and all the stuff that can be done in ms office

maybe this enriched version would be optional for those that want emeditor simple and lite

thanks

You can highlight any particular words that match to any criteria at all occurrences, and that’s all EmEditor can do. EmEditor will not highlight like word processors. I don’t think EmEditor will compete with word processors anytime in future, and I will keep it that way to avoid any bloated consequence.

Thanks for your so quickly reply.
For the first one, you will add this feature(save the search results link and discorery the link with row number) as windows link “file://” ?

For the second one, is there any plugin support RTF export and copy?

(1) Use this macro:

	document.HighlightTag = true;

	

(2) I don’t know any plug-in that can convert EmEditor text to RTF directly. You can use the plug-in to convert to HTML, and then copy to the Clipboard within a web browser, and paste to WordPad.

Hey,
1) The file localtion link can be save. when we do a search in a folder, there will be a link for each results, however when you save this results and reopen it, the link function will gone. I suggest to keep this can be saved.
For example: C:temp.txt:7328 or this was surrounded by some other symbols:
a) (C:temp.txt:7328);
b) FileLoc://C:temp.txt:7328;

This will be a great useful feature and the file localtion link can be an stardard just like http://.

2) Is that possible to add some core feature for export(copy) file style as a RTF or a HTML? I see we can found a plugin to export as a HTML, however if it’s a core function, more people will like it and use it.

Please advise :lol:

1) Use file://.

2) I don’t want to make the HTLM export feature as a core feature because I don’t want to make the EmEditor core bloated. Use the plug-in.

I found EMEditor to be very useful in editing very large PHP statistical database sites. For different clients I have to go in and change Form Field descriptions.
I found that I can ride a very large macro in JavaScript.. it works very well except when its fails. “Some of the descriptions to be changed are simply not in the file”
I have put in an alert to stop on such failures. However clicking on cancel does not stop the macro from running…
I need some way to prompt in the middle of a macro to continue, Y/N, and with a response of “N” stop execution..

You can add
try { … } catch(e) { … }
statement to catch most errors, and use Quit() method to stop your macro. For instance:

	try {

	  ...

	}

	catch(e)

	{

	  Quit();

Hi.

Is it possible to change the default behaviour of Next/Previous Document function (Ctrl-Tab/Ctrl-Shift-Tab or Ctrl-F6/Ctrl-Shift-F6) to STRAIGHT left-to-right/right-to-left switching of open document tabs?

I’d like tab switching work in STRAIGHT order. Let me explain. Suppose I’ve opened three documents – 1.txt, 2.txt and 3.txt. Active document is 1.txt. Pressing Ctrl-Tab twice will bring me back to 1.txt, which I’m totally unhappy with and I’d expect it to be 3.txt, which is 2 steps from 1.txt.

I’d like straight order of tab switching since default behaviour makes it virtually impossible to switch (using keyboard) between 3 or more open documents. Therefore, one has to use a mouse just for switching the tabs! That’s not a good feature for an established professional development tool, which EmEditor certainly is.

I’m using EmEditor Professional version 7.00.1 under Vista…

Go to Customize on the Tools menu, click Window tab, and uncheck “Switch to Last Used Document for Next Document Command”.

To trim all HTML tags, you can find:

and replace with blank (with Use Regular Expressions checked).

I don’t know how you can do to trim tags except URLs. I might consider that in future HTMLBar plug-in.

Changed by Another Program: Prompt.
Monitor Interval: 5.

I tested further and found this problem happened only when the content of the file(s) was changed by McAfee VirusScan itself. If I use Notepad2 to change the content of the file(s), EmEditor will prompt. But if the content of the same file(s) is changed by McAfee VirusScan, EmEditor will never know, no matter how long I wait.

When McAfee VirusScan modified the file, is the time stamp also changed? If the time stamp is not changed, EmEditor cannot detect the change.

I added “UseUniscribe = 0” into eeCommon.ini for portable version.

What does this option affect on? Any unicode restrictions?

BWT, sorry for late answer. I haven’t received any notification by e-mail (I didn’t expect the default behavior is to notify by PM, not an e-mail).

Well, that is related to text draw engine in Windows. You can google “Uniscribe” to find about it more.

For notifications, you can choose how you get notifications from your profile (Edit Account under User Menu).

I selected “prompt when changed” and opened McAfee VirusScan’s AccessProtectionLog (UTF-8 with Signature, <2MB) with EmEditor. While Notepad2 always detected the changes, EmEditor never.

In the Current Configuration Properties > File tab, what is selected for “Changed by Another Program” drop-down list?

Hello,

Is it possible to run a macro for all opened files? Let’s say I want to delete all lines containing WATER, FIRE, EARTH, and WIND within 100 files. I can make a macro to delete those lines, but I have to open each file separately and run the macro (to much work). So is it possible to open 20 files (the more the better!) and run the same macro for all?

thx

Yes! Here is the code:

	docs = new Enumerator( editor.Documents );

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

	    doc = docs.item();

	    doc.Activate();

	    // do something with doc

	}

When I type dot “.” the whole line’s font changes to another one. Or maybe it’s just wrong letter-spacing:

Same text in EmEditor 6 is OK:

What could it be?

I am not sure why this font has the issue, but can you please try this work around:

Run RegEdit.exe, and add “UseUniscribe” value as DWORD in the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareEmSoftEmEditor v3Common

and UseUniscribe = 0

Please let me know if this works.

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.

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.

Make 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).

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?
