That seems to have fixed it. Thanks.But I would expect the Help|About dialog to indicate the RC1 release—what if I forget what version I’m using and want to check the About box?
I forgot to check the About dialog box version number. I am sorry for confusion. Just make sure the timestamp of emeditor.exe is updated. It will be fixed on the next release.

Something strange is going on with Find/Replace in Files when using some regular expressions.
To reproduce create a file, say file0.txt, with the following contents:
ABC
DEF
GHI
(note the leading space on each line) and save it to an empty folder. Now do “Find in Files…” using the following regular expression s*DEF, check the “Use Regular Expressions” checkbox, File Types: *.txt and select the folder with the file in.The search result is:
F:workzoneEmEditorfile0.txt(1): ABC
which obviously is incorrect! When doing “Replace in Files…” instead it _does_ replace the correct match (good).However using DEFn as the search expression doesn’t find anything and also doesn’t replace anything!
When doing the same Search or Replace using the simple Find/Replace command, everything works fine.
This was using the 7.0 Pro RTW build, both x86 and x64 versions exhibit this behavior
Any ideas?
Regards
-PoulF:workzoneEmEditorfile0.txt(1): ABC
is correct because s* matches the new line characters “rn” between ABC and DEF, and the Find in Files result only shows the first line of the matched string.
You will need to use
DEFrn
to match a new line after DEF, or check “Use escape sequence” instead of “Use regular expressions”. I know this is a little strange specification, but see http://www.emeditor.com/help/howto/search/search_nl.htm

Hello,I work a lot with text files and tried a lot of text editors, but only found one that i really like. The one that i been using now for some time is pretty good, but it got some annoying issues so i been looking for another text editor. I haven’t really tried emeditor before i downloaded a trial today and it seems to be pretty good, but there is a couple of things i cannot figure out and hope someone can help me out.
The first thing is when i doubleclick to select a word it seems to work fine, but a lot of the textfiles i got contains IP address and i cannot find any settings to make the doubleclick include the dot. For example when i doubleclick 10.1.1.1 it should select the whole IP address and not only the number i doubleclick on. In this case if i double click on 10 only 10 is selected and not the whole IP address (10.1.1.1). Is there any way to set what the delimiters should be for the doubleclick to select some text?
I also wonder about the tile feature. I would like to be able to tile two textfiles vertically and have synchronized scrolling, but within a single instance/group of emeditor. It seems like this is not possible since tile will create a separate instance (or group) for the textfiles. Also i cannot see any option for the synchronized scrolling. Is this possible to do?

Hi, current word delimiters when double-clicking are not customizable. I will take this one of feature enhancement in future versions. And you are right, you cannot tile or cascade within one group. You will have to create a new group to do this. An easiest way is to select “New Horizontal Gruop” or “New Vertical Group” command in the Window menu or in the tab menu. There used to be a synchronized scrolling plug-in created by a user, but I am not sure if it still works. I might create a new plug-in for this purpose, or add this feature in future versions. Thanks!

Well, I try to use it locate a string.
1) I run this, it works well.
^01.{0,200}
2) Then I use the following one, it doesn’t work for me.
(?<=^01.{0,200}).{15}
3) I tried to use the following one, it works.
(?<=^01.{200,200}).{15}I’m wondering if it’s a bug.
I don’t believe it is a bug. It is the specification of the regular expression EmEditor uses. The pattern in (?<=pattern) does not support vaiable length.
I might upload the beta version of the next minor version soon (possibly in January 2008). Please test the beta version (or RC version) before I release the final version. Thanks!

I’m running v. 7.00 on a 1600×1200 monitor in Courier New 8pt font, wrapping by window (Ctrl+3). I enter the following text:“asdkf kljashf lkjsahf lkjsahf lkjashf lkjsdahf lkjsdahf lkjsdaf lkjsadf lkjsadhf lkjsahf lkjsaf lkjsadhf lkjsadhf lkjsadhf lkjsdhflkjsdhfljsdhfskadjfh lsdakjhf lskjdhf lksjdahf lksadjhf lksajdhf lksjadhf lksjadhf kljsadhf lkjsdahflkjsdahf lksdjahf lkjsdahf lkjsadhf kljsdf”
At this resolution and font, the one logical line wraps to show “kljsdf” on the second physical line. I position the cursor after the last character in “kljsdf”, and press “Home”. The cursor appears at the end of the first physical line, after “lkjsadhf “. (Expected: the cursor should appear at the beginning of the second physical line, before “kljsdf”.)
With the cursor still at the end of the first physical line, I press the up arrow key. The cursor now appears at the beginning of the second physical line, before “kljsdf”. (Expected: the cursor should not have moved. Even if the cursor had been where it should have been, at the beginning of the second physical line, it should have went to the beginning of the first physical line.)
With the cursor at the beginning of the second physical line, before “kljsdf”, I press the up arrow again. The cursor does not move. (Expected: the cursor should move up to the beginning of the first physical line.)
I already realize this issue, and have already fixed that in my code. Thanks!

Two and a half years ago I obtained the academic/technical license for EmEditor as a software writer. Now I needed to find some details about this license, but could not find any information except the following page:
http://www.emurasoft.com/academic/
where it is said onlyIf you have already received an academic/technical license, you can still use that license as long as you keep it.
Does it mean that this license is subject to the usual license agreement (eula_e.rtf file in the EmEditor directory) with no additional restrictions (of course, except for that I may use it only as long as I remain software writer)?
Right. If you have further questions, please email me.

Hello,Is it possible to develop EmEditor plugin in .NET?
It needs native programming.

I did some experimenting with the new OutputBar features, namely, outputting some text to it from macro. I discovered, that tag jumps actually work, if I use keyboard shortcut (F10). However, I don’t see any way how to enable the tag highlighting so that they could be clicked with mouse.Actually, is the effect of the code below possible to do via normal menus and dialogs?
> document.HighlightTag = true;I’d also like to see tags that jump not only to the specified line, but also to the specified column.
Actually, the Output bar does not highlight anything, so document.HighlightTag = true; macro code does not do anything for Output bar. You can use either F10 or double-clicking the respective line. The specified column is not possible at current version. It might be considered in future versions.

Thank you for your response. I tried your suggestion but it does not work like way i really want because i don’t want it to remember the last folder when it should always remember the ‘open default directory’.‘Remember the last folder’ is inconvenience because it is always different.
In ultraedit32, it has ‘open default directory’ and ‘save default directory’ option and what it means is if you open a file from any location in your computer, it always points to your ‘open default directory’ or ‘save default directory’.
I hope you understand what i’m saying. It’s my suggestion. Thank you.
In EmEditor, I have not implemented the default directory option within EmEditor, because Windows has its ability to set the “current directory” for each process. Did you try the second method:
… Alternatively, display the Properties for the EmEditor shortcut that you usually use to run EmEditor, and add /cd in the Target text box. For instance, if the install folder of EmEditor is “C:Program FilesEmEditor”, enter “C:Program FilesEmEditoremeditor.exe” /cd. Moreover, fill the Start in text box as a folder you want to open from.

Hello
Would it be possible to have a search option that would:
# List Lines Containing String opens non-modal Find dialog
# Highlight all found occurrences of string
# Count number of occurrences of stringespecially the first one as i have to search thru very big log files and i would like to search find and display all the lines that contain the given search word. That way i’m able to see things i need to see
thank you
# List Lines Containing String opens non-modal Find dialog
You can use “Find in Files”# Highlight all found occurrences of string
By default, all found occurrences are highlighted.# Count number of occurrences of string
For this one, you have to write a macro, or use “Replace” to replace all with a dummy string, and you can see the count in the status bar, and Undo.rri0189 wrote:
I have a file that makes 7.0.0 go all wrong. It’s essentially an all-the-codes-of-Unicode list, and it seems to create some kind of resource shortage in Windows — dialogs and widges stop displaying, and so on. Notepad is OK.I’ve temporarily uploaded a copy to http://pws.prserv.net/jwkennedy/utf-8.zip
I reproduced this problem, and I confirmed it was a bug in version 7. This was a special case because this file contains all Unicode characters. I will fix that by the next version.
To work around this problem, run RegEdit.exe, and add “UseUniscribe” value as DWORD in the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareEmSoftEmEditor v3Common
and UseUniscribe = 0
However, some characters might not be displayed if you use this work around.
Thank you!

I am currently using emeditor pro 7. I have a folder (d:database) which contains all my codes and documents and I would like emeditor to always open this folder as a default open location instead of ‘my documents’.Of course, I also want to see emeditor save my files at this location (d:database) because it is a place where I keep all my codes and documents.
hope to see it implemented.

Hello,I just was playing with the new feature that allows to launch macros when some event has occured. I see how it works, but I feel I am missing something… As with events in typical programming environments, upon launching event handler, the code should have access to some Event object that keeps information about the type of event that has happened, and some extra info. For example, if I bind macro to a “Character inserted” event, I’d expect that the Macro is informed that it was triggered because that one or more characters were inserted, and also exactly what characters were insterted.
I am aware of need to implement more sophisticated event handlers like you wrote. Thanks!

I dont like the outline plugin since it is not convinience to users, but sometimes I’ve forced to use it when my code is too long to read. I wanna know why EmEditor cannot do this useful feature by itself? :-(You can use Outline plug-in and uncheck “Turn off Outline Guide when Custom Bar is not displayed”.

I’m experiencing the following minor problem with the latest EmEditor Version 7.00:Whenever I hit the [Home] key on a multi-line text (soft wrap), it always go the last position of the previous line, instead of going to the 1st position of the current line.
Would appreciate your clarification. Thanks,
I confirmed it was a problem. I will fix that in future verisons. Thanks!

Hi, all,
I want to add a new configuration to view .nfo files and I want to use OEM font category for this.
However, everytime I reopen nfo file, emeditor always revert to the default font category (not oem font category).
How to force emeditor to remember the font category for this configuration?
btw, what’s the relationship between ‘all configurations’ and ‘current configuration’ setting?
Does ‘current configuration’ override ‘all configurations”?
thanks in advance.First you should create OEM encoding (from Define Encodings dialog box), and select OEM/DOS font as the Font Category for that encoding.
Create NFO configuration, select “OEM encoding” you created from the Opening Encoding in the File tab of the NFO configuration properties, and associate .nfo for that configuration. Then you should see OEM/DOS font will be selected when you open .nfo files. Which version of EmEditor are you using?Both “Properties for All Configurations” and “Properties for Current Configuration” can override each other. Both are shortcuts if you select Properties for “Define Configurations” dialog box.

I didn’t notice it before, but now when I perform a mouse click in the area occupied with TAB charecter, the text cursor is alwasy set at the beginning of this TAB. With other characters there is no such problem – the cursor is set before the character when I click in the left half, and after the character if I click in the right half.That is a specification – not changed from Versoin 6.

I edit large batches of HTML files.
When I ‘Save and Close All’ EmEditor exits and I have to reload EME for the next batch. Couldn’t EME just bring up the Untitled tab each time so that I could start to Open the next batch without having to reload EME?
(there is a post about opening multiple files – is there any progress on this in the later versions?)
Win XP Pro SP2, EME 6.00.3Did you check “Do Not Close Last Document by Selecting Close Command” check box in Customize dialog box – Window tab?
Which post did you mean – “(there is a post about opening multiple files…)? Please include the URL for that message.

It’s easy.
1. Make a zip or 7z archive with 2 txt files (e.g., 1.txt, 2.txt).
2. Open the archive with 7-Zip.
3. Dbl Click 1.txt in 7-Zip, it’s opened by EmEditor.
4. DON’T close 1.txt, Dbl click 2.txt in 7-Zip.
Then EmEditor said system can’t find the specified path (tempdir7zXX.tmp2.txt), 2.txt can’t be opened.I reproduce your problem, but that is not an EmEditor bug. When EmEditor promps a message “system can’t find the specified path”, in fact, there is no such a file in the specified folder. I don’t know why 7z does this, but the difference might be just a timing difference. Check “Do not share process between documents (disables tabs)” check box in the Advanced tab of the Customize dialog box.

Open or edit file with EmEditor in 7-ZipWhen you open the first file in 7-Zip, it’s OK. But on the second file, EmEditor said system can’t find the specified path.
If you save settings in the registry, or you enabled tabs, there are no problems at all.Maybe you should make more RCs… :-?
I am not sure, but you might want to try with /sp option in the command line. Please post or send me a simple test case so I might be able to reproduce the issue.

Yup! That’s a useful feature anyway, can you tell me what the keyboard shortcut is for “jump to matching bracket”.However, I use EmEditor as my favorite editor for writing makefiles, and there are lots and lots of cases where brackets are inside double quotes. So, please give user a choice instead of dropping the old good feature. EmEditor has done a great job of providing options to various user preferences, so why not adhere to that good tradition.
See my complex makefile here: http://gnumakeuniproc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gnumakeuniproc/GMU-main/trunk/GnumakeUniproc/GnumakeUniproc.mki?revision=413&view=markup
CTRL + ] to jump to the matching bracket.
If you can disable single/double quotation marks in the Highlight (2) tab of Properties, and then all matching brackets will be highlighted.
