I often keep log files open in EditPlus and when those files are
updated I don't like to have to click OK on all the prompts.  Is
there a way they can refresh automatically every N seconds?

Hello:
          In the newer version (still in beta) there is an option to "Reload
modified files automatically", but it is not at intervals, it is still when
the EditPlus window has the focus.  But at least it will not prompt you.

          I haven't used the current version for a while (I have been
testing the newer beta), so I don't know if that option is there.

          dZ.

I'm editing a Cobol source file, where the code is entered in columns
7 - 72.  Is there any way to hide the first 6 columns so I can get
more displayed on my desktop?

If not, I could edit in columns 1 - 66 and shift everything over 6
columns before I compile.  Does anyone know a quick way to do that
without changing the indent settings, like with regex?  (And the
corresponding shift left?)

Not really...

There is a cool feature of editplus that lets you select/copy/cut/paste
data in columns, maybe this will help you?  If you hit the "ALT" key and
then click-drag text with your mouse left button, you will be able to
select in column blocks.  Also, once the column block is selected, using
the TAB key will move the selection independently of what is around it.

I might be able to offer some regexps if you send at least a sample line of
the format you need....

          dZ.

crtl + a                select all text
ctrl + shift + I        decrease indent

then when your done

ctrl + a
ctrl + I                increase indent.


you may also want to reset your indent size to fit your specific needs as
well under the Document menu -> Tabs/Indent

Other people have dealt with how to shift everything across. However, if
you've set up "Cobol" as an entry under Preferences|Files|Settings and
syntax, why not add a column marker at column 6?

That should allow you to easily indent in using the Alt+Left arrow
combination. Providing the other syntax settings are correct, hitting Return
should retain the indentation from the line above.

Thanks.  That did the trick.

I did, of course, mean Alt+Right arrow ;-)

How do you use the columns.....and what do you use them for?

I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you're referring to
my need to use columns 7 thru 72, that's a requirement of mainframe
IBM Cobol.  Columns 1-6 can be used for sequence numbers.  Columns 73-
80 can be used for anything.

How do I set the indent & tab to have the tab move 2 positions and
stop on even-numbered columns?  I can't get the tab to stop on
anything other than odd-numbered columns.

I am new to Edit Plus!

Thanks to the creators of this wonderfull editor.  I hear is a news

Question
---------

I am learning to program Java using JDK 1.3.1.. downloaded from Sun.
No prizes for guessing my editor of choice when programming java.

Is there any updates for Edit Plus  which will color code and
highlight the syntax of the code so it is more user friendly. I mean
things like keywords an such. If the updates exist - even if they are
user files -  what is the latest one that you would recomend that I
download and install?

Look for you to your help and just remember I am a junior member of
this fan club so nuture me please!!!!!!!!1

Hi,

I've been using edit plus for a long time for Java, Perl and HTML,
but would really like to use it for PHP too. I can get it to point at
my PHP engine and execute, but the output can only be pointed to the
output window. Has anyone come up with a work around, where this
output can be sent to the in built browser, or an external (HTML)
file?

Thanks

hi

Welcome to the world of Edit+.
Teh following link will lead to a huge list of user files which
are created by fans but shared for the exact purpose of not doing things twice.

http://www.editplus.com/javacpp.html

My advice - first go through the complete list and select the one which suits
you the most - not necessarily the latest.(Say jdk1.4 stx(syntax) might not help
you with jdk1.3.1).

Hope this suffice.

Regards,

pRasanna

PEEK:

- i wonder why - Java syntax and keywords files are available by Standard with
Edit+. You need the above only in case of updating the stx files. I think
instead of saving the file with ".java" extension you might have created just a
plain ascii text file. Try opening a .java source file in editplus 2.10c(latest
available) and it should highlight your needs.

hi all,

Being an ardent fan of Edit+ and a java programmer for more than a year i was
made to felt ashamed of not knowing about Regular Expressions.

I would be very much obliged if anyone could atleast explain how the Regular
Expressions for selecting Methods in Java works.
Best if you people could suggest some nice sites for learning Regular
Expressions.

Thank you,
pRasanna

Hi, itīs much easier than you might think:

To get your PHP-files rendered by your local server and displayed in Edit+,
select preferences/tools and choose the seamless browser option; then just
type in your server document root and server name (localhost or whatever you
named it...)
et voila! Type your code, hit the browse-keycommand (ctl - b is the default,
I believe) and watch the result! Of course, the files have to be located
under the server doc root...
If you actually want to run the script in a standalone PHP-engine, I donīt
know how to do it...

Edit + is a nice companion, isnīt it?
Herb

Hi!

Could someone please post a step by step process how to use Cygwin to
compile files using gcc through edit plus.

Cheers (and Thanks in advance),

V.V. Singh

Hey there...

I am using multi-line strings in my PHP code like following:

$DB->query("
         SELECT
                 table1.name AS name,
                 table1.id AS id
         FROM
                 table2
         LEFT JOIN
                 table1 ON (table1.id=table2.id1)
         WHERE
                 whatever='".addslashes($something)."'");

How can I make EditPlus recognize the string used above as an entire string?
Currently it does not recognize second line as continuation of first line
(does recognize PHP keywords in it, etc)... How can I make it work?

Thanks,
Alex.

Try this:
          In the php.stx (syntax) file, make sure that the value for
'#CONTINUE_QUOTE' is 'y', like this:
#CONTINUE_QUOTE=y

If this line does not exist in your syntax file, then add it.

          dZ.

In the Recent files list, those files FTP'd from different servers are
prefaced with "ftp(0):.." ,  "ftp(1): ..", etc.

Is there a way to use the FTP Settings Account name as the preface
label, instead of these array-like references?

When working with the same named file from 2 different servers,
there's a big risk in doing damage if I am unsure which boxes are (0),
(1), or (2)

Thanks

Is there a way to make the Command Output, Directory, Cliptext, etc.
views/windows act as detachable windows within the workspace?

That is, when activated, these viwes are treated as resizable frames
within the main Edit Plus application window.

I would like to be able to access them as document windows within the
whole Edit Plus workspace, so that I could minimize, tab them, move
and resize them?

Is this a current setting I've overlooked, or has it been requested as
a feature enhancement?

Thanks

Will there be a DTD-validating parser within EditPlus3 (so that one knows w=
hich XML-elements are allowed at the current cursor location)? If not, XEmac=
s (w/psgml) still will be the best (but somewhat hard to manage;) alternativ=

Hello chonchobar,


I don't think so. I believe that the Command Output, Directory, Cliptext are
designed as windows with splitters in the MFC architecture and cannot be torn
off or made docked at other sides like in MSOffice applications. I really think
that it would be a really cool feature enhancement.

Best regards,
   Alex                            mailto:asavescu@...

Is it possible to invoke EditPlus with a filename and line number to jump
straight to that line?

The default RE used by E+ for selecting methods in Java is:

^[ \t]*[ps].*\([^;]*$

The ^ and $ match the start and end of a line, so this RE will match a
whole line.

The [ \t]* part means match zero or more spaces or tabs.

The [ps] part matches either a "p" or an "s" (because it's looking for
"public", "private", "protected" or "static" as the first word in a
method declaration).

The .* part matches any string (any character, zero or more times -
i.e. the rest of the words "public", etc.)

The \( part matches a "(" at the start of the parameter list (and the
backslash escapes the special meaning that round brakets normally have
in an RE).

The [^;]* part matches the rest of the line, provided it doesn't
contain a semi-colon.

This isn't a perfect RE for finding method signatures in Java. For
example, it doesn't find these:

// default visibility (doesn't have "p" or "s")
void someMethod()

// no "(" on first line
public void someMethod
     ( Strind someParameter )

// abstract methods (ends with ";")
public abstract void someMethod();


It also gets some false matches, such as a switch:

switch ( someVariable )

Some time around 02/12/2002, I think I heard you say:

Yes.  Check out the Help and search for "Command-line options".  Here's
what it sez:

Locate cursor at "line" and "column":
          editplus.exe -cursor line:column

          dZ.
