==Introduction==
Did you realize that your favorite text editor runs on Linux? Well, now you know, so if you've been thinking about making the switch, you're out of excuses.

PS: This means, using DarWine, you can run this fine program on the Mac OS X. How cool is that?

==Installation Instructions==

To get EditPlus working under Linux, you need to install the popular '''Wine''' software. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. To install Wine on Ubuntu or Debian GNU/Linux, enter the following at the command line:

apt-get install wine

In a terminal window, download the latest [http://www.editplus.com/download.html EditPlus Windows installer] in your home directory.

cd ~
wget <nowiki>ftp://ftp.editplus.com/epp331.exe</nowiki>

Then invoke this command to start the installation process:

wine ./epp331.exe

Once it's installed, go to where EditPlus was installed, e.g.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EditPlus\ 3/

and run this command:

wine ./editplus.exe

It should start running and you should be good to go.

As an alternative, if you have a full installation of '''wine''' on your Linux system, shortcuts are auto-configured for Windows '''.EXE''' files. Double-clicking on '''epp331.exe''' in your desktop file browser will auto-magically bring up '''wine''' with the program loaded.

==Post-Install Tips==

===Create a shortcut===

''Note: Wine should do this automatically if you choose to add an icon to your desktop at the end of the installation.''

You can create a desktop shortcut to EditPlus, so that clicking the icon will bring it up in wine.

Instructions for Gnome:
# Download the EditPlus icon [[Image:Editplus.png]] to your desktop (also see [[Icons]])
# Right click on the Desktop and select "Create Launcher..."
# Set the name to: <code>EditPlus</code>
# Set the command to: <code>wine "C:\Program Files\EditPlus 2\editplus.exe"</code>
# Click the "No Icon" button and select the EditPlus icon you downloaded

===Fonts===

If your Wine apps are using the ugly font that it picks by default, install the Microsoft Tahoma font. It can be downloaded [http://download.microsoft.com/download/office97pro/fonts/1/W95/EN-US/tahoma32.exe here]. Then simply run:

wine ./tahoma32.exe

and follow the prompts. '''Note:''' installing this font may cause the column marker not display the correct current column. Reason currently unknown.

If you have Debian or a Debian-based distro (such as Ubuntu), you should be able to download and install [http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/default.aspx Microsoft's Core Web Fonts] through "apt-get":

apt-get install msttcorefonts

If you are running Gentoo Linux, you can simply install Windows fonts through a package in portage, called corefonts:

emerge -av corefonts

For other fonts, see [[Fonts]].

===Windows Theme===

The default Windows widgets (buttons, menus, etc) that come with Wine look pretty ugly compared to a nicely polished Gnome interface. Fear not! You can [http://winehq.org/docs/en/wineusr-guide.html#AEN286 change the theme that Wine uses] to make it look more Gnome/WinXP-like.

Create a directory for the theme

mkdir -p ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale

Download the Royale theme (or you can download manually from [http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/Royale-Theme-for-WinXP.shtml here])

cd ~
wget <nowiki>http://download1us.softpedia.com/dl/eb2e6963dc2076d934ab9dda8e9d42a8/4e445941/100013027/software/desktop/Royale_theme.zip</nowiki>

Unzip the downloaded file and move into the directory above

unzip Royale_theme.zip; cp Royale\ Theme\ for\ Win\ XP.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale

Install Royale theme and follow the prompts

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale/Royale\ Theme\ for\ Win\ XP.exe

Run <code>winecfg</code>, under the "Desktop Integration" tab, select the "Media Center style" as the Theme

[[Image:EditPlus-on-Ubuntu-Royale.png|center|frame|EditPlus running under Wine on Ubuntu with the Royale Theme]]

===Fixing the keyboard shortcuts===

You may not have realized it in Windows, but under Linux it can be handy to change some default keybindings (e.g. Ctrl+W to close a tab instead of Ctrl+F4). Use Document > Permanent Settings > Keyboard to do this.

===SFTP===

This tip not only applies to EditPlus, but ANY *nix app. First, install Fuse[http://fuse.sourceforge.net/]. Then install the Fuse filesystem SSHFS [http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html]. Now you can mount SFTP at a normal mount-point and open/save files just like you would to a local directory.

==User tools==

If you need to capture the output of your User Tools (Tools->Configure User Tools), you may have problems (at least with wine version 0.9.46). It seems that wine does not redirect well the output of the programs. The only output from the command line that can be redirected to EditPlus are Windows commands like "dir" or "more". A workarround is the following:
*Create a linux shell script with an .exe extension. This shell script must call the aplication you want to execute and write anything interesting in a temporary text file.
*Create a .bat that calls the previous .exe and prints the temporary text file with <code>more</code>.

For example, to capture the output of <code>make</code> you can do the following:

Create a text file named <code>compile.exe</code> with this content
<pre>
#!/bin/sh
make > compileResult.txt
</pre>
Create a text file named <code>compile.bat</code> with this content
<pre>
compile.exe
more compileResult.txt
</pre>
use this <code>compile.bat</code> in Tools->Configure User Tools

==Known Bugs==

* Internet Explorer within EditPlus does not work.
* Tools > Preferences does not seem to work in some versions of Wine, and in fact, may cause it to freeze. If this is the case in your version and you need to edit your preferences, you might try:
*# upgrading your version of Wine
*# access the Preferences dialog through Project > Manage Project > Edit Project
*# hand edit the configuration files located in the installation directory (and have a good laugh at the serious misspellings in some of those files). Installation files are usually located in a path like <pre>~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EditPlus 2/</pre>
* If you happen to be using Synergy at the same time that you're running EditPlus through Wine, and you copy something on a connected Windows box and bring the mouse focus back to Linux, then move the mouse over an open document in EditPlus, EditPlus will crash. It is probably extremely unlikely that you would happen to be running this specific system setup, so this bug will probably not apply to you. Copying and pasting between EditPlus and native Linux programs on the same machine does not appear to be an issue. Note: This appears to be working with 3.10, Ubuntu Intrepid, and Quick Synergy.
* ''Ctrl S'' for '''Save''' may switch between two open Wine apps with some wine configurations. To workaround this, you can:
*# change the Editplus hot key for '''Save''' one of two methods:
*## use the Preferences dialog to change the key binding
*## edit the Editplus configuration file ''default.key'' in the installation directory
*# change the wine hot key (tutorial coming soon)
* Saving larger files over ftp might result in the ftp dialog hanging at 100% with some configurations. The newer wine releases still give you a chance to push the cancel button which after some time will give you a message "cancelled by user" whereas with earlier version all you could do is terminate Editplus.
* Opening a file may mess up the window drawing under Wine. There are a few ways to correct this (hitting Enter usually works, although this won't work on read-only files if you've set them to be uneditable. The best solution I've found is Alt-D-X (Refresh STX), which redraws the window. You can bind this to a more handy keystroke (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Z) and just get used to hitting it each time you open a file. There might be a better solution out there...

==Linux/BSD Alternatives==
If EditPlus under WINE is unacceptable to you, there are Linux/BSD text editors with features comparable to EditPlus.

WikiSysop: Reverted edits by Cheaptaraa (talk) to last revision by Pjarosak

==Latest Version==

v3.21 (build ??), released on December 17, 2010, available from the [http://www.editplus.com/download.html Download Page] or the [ftp://ftp.editplus.com/ EditPlus anonymous FTP].

===Version notes (unofficial)===
*EditPlus 3 only works on Windows 2000, XP, and Vista, and loses compatibility with Windows 95, 98, and ME. If you have an old Windows system, you can't upgrade to EditPlus 3.
*EditPlus 3 saves files differently than EditPlus 2: Now it opens the file and overwrites it, which means saved files are no longer moved to the end of the file list in the folder by Windows.

===Installation===
'''For installation on computers that do not have EditPlus version 2 installed:'''

1. Run the executable installer, selecting the directories in which INI (settings) and syntax (STX) files should be installed. (Auto-complete (ACP) and cliptext (CTX) files will go in the same directory as syntax files.)

'''For Installation on computers that have EditPlus version 2 installed:'''

1. Do not uninstall version 2. Versions 2 and 3 can co-exist on the same computer.

2. Install version 3 as described above.

3. Copy any non-standard syntax, auto-complete, and cliptext files from the version 2 installation to the location chosen for version 3.

4. Optionally, uninstall version 2 after confirming that version 3 works as desired.

'''Firefox''' is a free, open source web browser from the [http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/ Mozilla Foundation] popular among web designers and developers.

==Edit Source with EditPlus==
You can view the HTML page source with EditPlus using one of the following two Firefox extensions:

#[http://gemal.dk/mozilla/launchy.html Launchy] After installing the extension, just right-click on the background, select Launchy > View Source in EditPlus.
#[http://dafizilla.sourceforge.net/viewsourcewith/ ViewSourceWith] This is a new extension that let's you define the program you want to use (from within your extensions manager after install) and then it adds "View Source with EditPlus" to your right-click context menu.

Both of these programs provide a button which you can add to your toolbar by right-clicking on it and selecting "Customize". Then drag the Launchy or the ViewSourceWith icon to your toolbar.

==Firefox extensions retrocompatibility==
When upgrading to a new major version of Firefox (for example, from v1.5 to v2.0), some extensions may cease to work, because the author only declared compatibility up to the current Firefox version. If the author ceased the development of his extension and doesn't update it to make it compatible to the new Firefox version, you can attempt to force compatibility using the "Make compatible" function of the Firefox extension [http://users.blueprintit.co.uk/~dave/web/firefox/nightly Nightly Tester Tools].

Running on a USB flash drive

2011-12-02T01:25:07Z

WikiSysop: Reverted edits by Solo230 (talk) to last revision by ElfQrin

As we all already know, EditPlus is an extremely handy and efficient text editor. Wouldn't it be nice if you could install EditPlus on a portable USB flash drive (aka thumbdrive, Flash Drive, USB jump drive) so that you can take it anywhere. Are you a programming student or web design student? Does your school's computers have USB ports? If so, this tutorial is for you.

== Prerequisites ==

In order to install EditPlus on your thumb drive, you will need the following:
* A computer with Admin privileges (your computer at home, for instance)
* A USB flash drive (jumpdrive, thumbdrive, portable USB hard drive, whatever...)
* Access to the internet.

== Installation ==

'''Step 1)''' Find a computer where you have administrative privileges, like your home computer (hopefully). Chances are, you won't be able to do this on a properly secured school computer.

'''Step 2)''' Visit EditPlus.com and download the installation files.

'''Step 3)''' Install EditPlus on your USB flash drive.

'''Step 4)''' If you haven't done so already, purchase EditPlus. Support this great software.

== Usage ==
USB flash drives are automatically assigned a drive letter by Windows. Chances are, that the drive letter assigned to your flash drive will vary depending on the classroom or lab the computer is in. If you open EditPlus and it says that it cannot find any of the configuration files, continue loading EditPlus while canceling all the error boxes that appear. Then, in EditPlus, click on ''Tools -> Ini File Directory''. Change this from "E:\EditPlus" to ".". This will place all INI configuration files in the directory EditPlus is launched from.

Now you need to change the file paths in the INI files.
You can do it either from inside the application or editing configuration files manually.

If you want to do that from EditPlus, open the Preferences by clicking ''Tools -> Preferences''. The first thing to update is the syntax highlighting and auto completion in ''Preferences -> Files -> Settings & syntax''. Select each file type and delete the file path in front of the filename. In other words, change "E:\EditPlus\cpp.stx" to "cpp.stx" and repeat for HTML, Perl, etc. If you prefer to keep a path, use ".\" (which means "current directory" in front of the file name; example: ".\cpp.stx"). The next thing to update is the template files in ''Preferences -> Files -> Templates''. The last change is to update the Spell checker dictionary in ''Preferences -> Tools -> Spell checker''. Once you are changed all the file types and templates click ''Apply''.

If you prefer to edit configuration files (which is probably quicker), open "template.ini" and "setting.ini" and replace any occurrence of "X:\Program Files\EditPlus 2" (or the actual path where your copy of EditPlus was stored) as ".".

The last file path is the "WorkSpace Path" parameter in "editplus.ini" (where files are saved by default). Change it to ".". However such path contains the last directory you've used to load or save files and it's likely to be changed regularly.

If you get an error message when you open a file simply click ''Document -> Refresh STX/ACP''.

== Potential Problems ==
'''EditPlus v2.21.381'''

One thing I've noticed is EditPlus does not respect the 'INI File Directory' setting when opened by the shell extension (eg. [right-click]->EditPlus). The problem occurs when EditPlus is not running, and then opened with a right click, EditPlus looks for all the syntax/ctl/acp files in the folder where editplus.exe is located and not where they have been defined to be from the ini files. This behavior is inconsistent so it is most likely a bug.

I have setup EditPlus to have all relative paths with files sorted into appropriate folders as shown below, which works fine when editplus is opened first and the file to be edited is opened second:

├───acp_files
├───apps
│ ├───cobol
│ ├───esc
│ ├───html_tidy
│ ├───par
│ └───php
├───ctl_files
├───dictionary // (user-dict)
├───ini_files
├───syntax_files
├───templates
├─.(dll's and all other files)
├─editplus.exe

Keyboard Shortcuts

2011-03-11T04:44:22Z

WikiSysop: Reverted edits by BugCleaner (Talk) to last revision by Adam

== Viewing Keyboard Shortcuts ==
Help → Keyboard Map displays the currently assigned keyboard shortcuts.

== Changing Keyboard Shortcuts ==

To change your keyboard shortcuts go to Tools → Preferences → Keyboard. Next select the Type of shortcut (very similar to the pulldown menus), then select a Command you wish to change.

== Recommended Keyboard Shortcuts to Add ==

Modifying the default keyboard shortcut keys allows you to take advantage of potential shortcuts that do not come as defaults in EditPlus. Below is a list of recommendations from users.

=== To allow easy switching of documents ===
(Type: Window)
* WindowPrev as Alt + Left Arrow (Ctrl+shift+Tab)
* WindowNext as Alt + Right Arrow (Ctrl+Tab)

=== Easily close current document ===
(Type: File)
* FileClose as Ctrl + W

=== Easily switch the current file type ===

This lets you quickly set the syntax highlighting to use after pasting some text into a temporary document.

(Type: Document)
* DocChangeSyntax as Ctrl + Shift + T

=== FTP Shortcuts ===
(Type: File)
* FileOpenRemote as Ctrl + Alt + O
* FileSaveRemote as Ctrl + Alt + S

=== HTML Shortcuts ===
(Type: HTML)
* HTMLBreak (<tt><nowiki> </nowiki></tt>) as Shift + Enter
* HTMLNbsp (<tt><nowiki>&nbsp;</nowiki></tt>) as Shift + Space
* HTMLParagraph (<tt><nowiki></nowiki></tt>) as Ctrl + Enter

== Suggested Keyboard Shortcut Changes ==

Ctrl + D: inserting the current date is something I rarely use, so I have this key delete the current line instead
* Old command: EditDate
* New command: EditDeleteLine

F5: if you don't use the cliptext or directory windows you may want this key to reload the current document
* Old command: ViewToggleFocus
* New command: DocReload

Alternative Editors

WikiSysop: Reverted edits by Coralie (Talk) to last version by WikiSysop

How does EditPlus compare to other text editors with similar feature sets? If you've switched to EditPlus from another comparable editor, or if you've left EditPlus in the dust, describe why here.
Please notice that EditPlus has a customizable Auto-Complete feature that other text editors might not have and they, therefore, would not compare this feature in their feature comparing matrix. And the indent-wrap feature (the wrapped lines are also indented) is mostly lacking in other editors.

=Alternative editors for Windows=

==Boxer==
*[http://www.boxersoftware.com/ Boxer] ''(shareware)''
Boxer is definitely a full-featured editor that's worth a look. Whether or not one prefers it to EditPlus will be a matter of personal preference. There's a complete list of Boxer's features [http://www.boxersoftware.com/pgfeat.htm here].

==HTML Kit==
*[http://www.chami.com/html-kit/ HTML Kit] ''(shareware)''

==jEdit==
*[http://www.jedit.org/ jEdit - Programmer's Text Editor] ''(GPL license)''
jEdit is free. It is written in Java, so it runs on Mac OS X, OS/2, Unix, VMS and Windows. This also means that is is slower than EditPlus. It is missing some EditPlus functionality, but it has a number of advantages:
*Built-in macro language; extensible plugin architecture. Dozens of macros and plugins available.
*Plugins can be downloaded and installed from within jEdit using the "plugin manager" feature.
*Auto indent, and syntax highlighting for 122 languages.
*Folding for selectively hiding regions of text.
*Highly configurable and customizable.

==TextPad==
*[http://www.textpad.com/ TextPad] ''(shareware)''

(A new version of TextPad [v5.0] was released in March 2007.)

Two words: file comparison.
Textpad is also a very good text editor. However, development on it has languished - the last release was June '04. It does have a built in file comparison tool, but lacks builtin FTP support, which is what led me to switch to Editplus. 
Also, the shortcuts are not standardized. Ctrl+F does not open the search box but starts a search with the previously used search term (unless you switch to Microsoft compatibility mode in the settings screens).

==UltraEdit==
*[http://www.ultraedit.com/ UltraEdit] ''(shareware)''
UltraEdit has a built in FTP and SFTP feature, which works OK. It also has the rest of the features, even though they have not been attached to convenient shortcuts. The text editor as such is not the greatest, but it does the job. There are a few screen bugs when scrolling and selecting. The syntax highlight is completely customizable but acting "weird" at times.

Additionally, it has the very useful ability to edit "Raw" files, that is, you can edit the file in Hex format, byte by byte.

The syntax highlight is very customizable upto a point - but not flexible enough for some. And over-complicated too.

The search feature has a useful "list lines containing string" option.

*Only* reason to use this over editplus is the code-folding and the Color Selector.

==EditPad==
*[http://www.editpadpro.com/index.html EditPad Pro] ''(shareware)''
*[http://www.editpadpro.com/editpadlite.html EditPad Lite] ''(free for non commercial use, not open source)''

==PSPad==
*[http://www.pspad.com/en/ PSPad] ''(freeware, not open source)''
Excellent editor with many interesting features which include ability to script using JavaScript, and the Code Explorer.

==SciTE==
*[http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html SciTE] ''(freeware, open source)''
"SciTE is a SCIntilla based Text Editor. Originally built to demonstrate Scintilla, it has grown to be a generally useful editor with facilities for building and running programs. It is best used for jobs with simple configurations - I use it for building test and demonstration programs as well as SciTE and Scintilla, themselves."
Includes: syntax highlighting, code folding, column selecting, find and replace using regular expressions, find in files (search multiple files at once).

==Notepad++==
*[http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/ Notepad++] ''(GPL license)''
Notepad++ is a free source code editor which supports several programming languages, running under the MS Windows environment. 
This project -- based on the Scintilla edit component -- is written in C++ with pure win32 api and STL (that ensures the higher execution speed and smaller size of the program).

==Multi-Edit==
*[http://www.multieditsoftware.com Multi-Edit] ''(shareware)''
A very good and mature product with a powerful macro language.
For a comparison of the features between Multi-Edit and the other leading editors (including EditPlus) click [http://www.multieditsoftware.com/MEvsMISC.php here]

==Zeus For Windows==
*[http://www.zeusedit.com/ Zeus for Windows] ''(shareware)''
Zeus offers the standard set of internet editing features like HTML syntax highlighting, built-in FTP/SFTP editing and checking HTML code for W3C conformance using Tidy HTML.
But it also offers many more programmer specific features like code folding, class browsing, intellisensing, macro scripting, project/workspace management, integrated version control [http://www.zeusedit.com/features.html and more].

==Crimson Editor==
*[http://www.crimsoneditor.com/ Crimson Editor] ''(freeware, also newly open sourced)''
Crimson Editor is a freeware editor for Windows with customizable syntax highlighting and macro recording support. Also, the interface and functionalities look very similar to older versions of EditPlus. Excellent choice for EditPlus users who have to work on Windows servers, where it can be used to replace Notepad without the need for licenses.

The developer recently released the source code as he no longer has the time to devote to it.

=Notepad replacements for Windows=
''Not a real alternative to EditPlus, nor an editor for coders. They're rather a replacement for the standard Notepad that comes with Microsoft Windows.''

==Notepad2==
*[http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html Notepad2] ''(freeware, open source)''
Notepad replacement based on the Scintilla editing component. Supports syntax highlighting, regex search/replace, DOS/UNIX/Mac line endings, Unicode, and bookmarks. However, as a notepad replacement, will only open one file per instance, can't define new languages for highlighting (without recompiling), and doesn't support code folding. An excellent notepad replacement, none the less.

==TheGun==
*[http://www.movsd.com/thegun.htm TheGun] ''(freeware)''
TheGun is entirely coded in Microsoft Assembler (MASM) using the Windows API functions. File size is 6k (6144 bytes). It doesn't require installation, it doesn't write in the registry, and doesn't use external DLLs. It comes with a configuration file (SETGUN.EXE) that patches the executable according to the user's preferences, so it doesn't need to load an INI file. 
It can open any kind of file (even binary data) and it has no size limit.

==RogSoft NotePad+==
*[http://www.mypeecee.org/rogsoft/ RogSoft NotePad+] ''(freeware, not open source)''
Notepad replacement able to open multiple documents.

=Alternative editors for Linux/BSD=
''If [[Running on Linux|EditPlus under WINE]] is unacceptable to you, try the following Linux/BSD text editors with features comparable to EditPlus.''

*[http://kate.kde.org/ KATE (KDE Advanced Text Editor)] ''(GPL license)''
"Kate is a multi document editor, based on a rewritten version of the kwrite editing widget of KDE, offering all the features of that plus a bunch of its own." It supports projects and syntax highlighting.

==Bluefish==
*[http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/ Bluefish] ''(GPL license)''
Top EditPlus shared features: projects, syntax highlighting, auto-complete, ClipText-like panel, POSIX Regex (and Perl!), custom shortcut keys, run custom external applications. It requires GTK 2.0 or newer (GTK 2.4 or newer is recommended). 
On Debian and Ubuntu it can be installed using APT: '''apt-get install bluefish'''. 
On Gentoo it can be installed using emerge: ''' emerge -av bluefish '''.

It is best used for jobs with simple configurations - I use it for building test and demonstration programs as well as SciTE and Scintilla, themselves."
It requires GTK+.

=Alternative editors for Linux shell=

==JED==
*[http://www.jedsoft.org/jed/ JED] ''(freeware, open source)''
Not nearly as powerful as EditPlus, but probably the easiest text editor for Linux console, with menus, syntax highlighting, copy/paste text selection, etc. 
On Debian and Ubuntu it can be installed using APT: '''apt-get install jed'''.

== mcedit (Midnight Commander Editor) ==

Feature Requests

WikiSysop: Reverted edits by Vsimon213 (Talk) to last version by Tahir

==Syntax (General)==
* PCRE regular expression search & replacements
* Tag snapping, to make the cursor jump to < and > 's for easier selection, both on the mouse cursor and keyboard shortcut
* Multiple "Hot Spot" areas in code completion syntax, and hot keys that will scroll through them (so after typing an if/while/for conditional you can hit a hot key to place the cursor between the braces).
* Support for more than one SCRIPT_BEGIN and SCRIPT_END in syntax files (helps with [[heredoc]] syntax).
* A new (and configurable) option to indent code (syntax based).
* <strike>Ability to handle [[nested comments]].</strike> Supported as of v3.11 build 421 (2009-08-08).
* Solving the ambiguity in brace matching oocuring at the right square bracket in: [asdf]{asdf}. Fx always look at the brace to the left...
* Ability to sort Syntax File Types by description or file extension
* Beat the current 30 syntax files limit. The number of allowed syntax files should be possibly unlimited or there should be at least a much higher limit like 500 entries.
* A dockable window (at right) with the list of functions in the file. If you click the function name, the cursor of the edit window takes you to the beginning of the function
* Ability to remove/modify/restore the "default file types" when it will never be needed.
* Ability to change tagnames to lower case.
* Add a new General-Colors option called "Current brace level" which would apply to the text between braces when your cursor is in between the braces. The "Matching Brace" coloring should continue to highlight when your cursor is just outside of the braces. This would help greatly with languages that use a lot of braces and you want to track at all times what level you are currently editing at.
* Show the name of the function in which the cursor currently resides in the status bar

===Syntax Hints===
* OpenOffice-style word autocompletion for all frequently used words in the document. For example if the word 'function' was used multiple times in the document and you start typing 'fun' then the 'ction' should appear with a dotted border underneath. If you then press enter the cursor jumps to the end of the word. This feature is interoperable with the currently offered autocompletion: pressing space after function would insert the function stub from the acp file. This is a huge timesaver for me in OpenOffice, and I imagine EditPlus would benefit greatly from it also.
* DOM Capability. Ability to list DOM objects in a dropdown list. For example, in ASP when you type Response+Period then all the DOM selections for the Response object could be in the dropdown list. Just like in Visual Studio.
: "Intellisense" is the word you're looking for

===Syntax Highlight===
* Ability to create, import and export syntax highlighting colour schemes
* Ability to specify background as well as text color.
* * Ability to specify background colours and font effects (bold, italic, underlined) in syntax highlighting. This can make comments much easier to find, and be a very powerful aid for quote matching etc.
* Ability to highlight variables ( $scalar and $array[elements] ) in quoted string (Very very useful for script languages with string expansion like PHP or perl).
* Ability to highlight special characters in quoted strings (like \r, \n, \t, \x0F etc.).
* along with #COMMENTON and #COMMENTOFF, it would be nice to have #CODEON and #CODEOFF (i.e. everything outside of the specified delimiters is a comment by default). #COMMENTOFF and #COMMENTON work for that (essentially reverse the usage), except for the text before the placement for #CODEON. useful for Verisity's Specman e-language, since code is bracketed by <' and '>, and all else is comments. Still need to be able to use the #COMMENTON and #COMMENTOFF concurrently with the #CODEON and #CODEOFF though, as comments can reside in the bracketed code too. more explanation, or example e file: parkerjd@tampabay.rr.com
*ability to specify multiple-word keywords for syntax file (e.g. verilog import) together they highlight, separately they do not highlight unless specified on a separate line for each. maybe the CR/LF is the delimiter to use, or allow us to escape the space delimiter?
* ability to specify the folder containing the cliptext files (.ctl)
* ability to select another ''htmlbar.acp'' and ''template.html'' than the default ones (especially in a different location than the installation folder)
* Allow user additions to htmlbar and update standard HTML code especially now css class and style tags are very common
* Within comments, highlight words such as "FIXME", "TODO" and "XXX"
* Ability to copy syntax highlighted texts to clipboard as rtf or html
* Change syntax highlighting for current file more directly, such as through a drop-down.
* Fix so that #SCRIPT_END in comments would not brake syntax highlighting.
* Option to ignore .stx keywords in plain text (i.e. highlight them only when they are within the tag delimiters defined for the language.
* Intelligent heredoc syntax highlighting. For example, in PHP I may begin a block of SQL code like such: "$query = <<<SQL" and end it with "SQL;". EditPlus could take advantage of my hint ("SQL") and know to highlight this block with the syntax file associated with file of extension of ".sql".

===Code Folding===
* [[Code folding]] for functions and any block of code, configurable for every language. '''''(introduced in v2.30, although it's only able to fold indented code)'''''
* [[Code folding]] syntax based better than indent based as v2.30 do. (v2.30 folds even the commented code and folds not commented lines after one-line-commented line)
* Option to default all open files to 'Collapse All'
* Option to retain code folding when files are saved, with the option to turn this feature on/off.

===Font Handling===
* Ability to simulate zooming in and out by increasing the font size on Ctrl+Mouse scroll wheel (like ms-word or even notepad2)

==User Interface==
* Separate editor column, like line numbers, but instead of numbers you can type bookmarks/labels on a line. Then, as you scroll the labels would move up and down along with the line they are attached to. If you scroll down the page to where the line no longer shows up, the label would show up in a list of labels at the top of the screen. Also, when scrolling down, the label would eventually move to a list of labels at the bottom of the screen. Then, labels in the top and bottom lists could be clickable to jump to that bookmark in the code. This could also be used to show functions on a page. Use your imagination!!!
* Right-justify the current file path + name that appears in the window title, i.e. EditPlus - [path\filename]. I often work on extremely deep folders on UNC paths, e.g. \\motherofallservers\tn3_operations\consumer_ops\webserver\core_functions\project_redesign\version2\scripts\md_header_resize_1024.js, and the file name keeps getting truncated so I can't tell what file I'm working on without looking at a Save As window. If the filepath+name was right-justified, e.g. EditPlus - [..\webserver\core_functions\project_redesign\version2\scripts\md_header_resize_1024.js], I would be much more productive.
* A new file browser which allows better tree directory listing, with the many projects we have at work, and having to switch between them, its really annoying to have to keep double clicking up and down to switch between files.

==Unicode==
* Full UTF-8 Support
* Unicode UTF-8/16/32 Support
* Codepage autodetection for opened files, or, at least, possibility to choose the default codepage for all/certain types of files.
* Support right-to-left mode for Hebrew, Arabic, etc.
* UTF-8 support for Cliptext files (*.ctl)

==FTP==
* Encrypted site manager with a master password. This needs strong encryption - blowfish or better. This way if my computer is stolen, a bad person can't deface the web pages of my clients!
** Store passwords as plain text (like Pidgin does) so owner won't think they're already secure as they aren't
* Allow remote files to be opened via the command line -e switch (for example, something like editplus.exe -e ftp1:/path/to/remote/file).
* SFTP Support
** Public key auth
:'''''(from v2.2 What's New: "Experimental 'Use sftp' option (File->FTP->FTP Settings, Works only on Windows XP and higher).", but does not work properly on keyboard-interactive authorization.)'''''
:'''''If you are having trouble connecting to a server via SFTP, see [[FTP/SFTP#SFTP_Fix_for_OpenSSH|this fix]]'''''
* Ability to sort FTP accounts in the FTP Settings window. The current ordering is unpredictable, and a pain when you have a lot of FTP accounts configured
* Ability to group accounts in a hierarchical structure
* FTP transfer (saving / opening) should not be modal, waiting for the transfer to complete wastes time, which can be better spent editing other files for example.
* Option to enable not to load ftp files until their related document window is activated when loading projects or workspace files.
* In the "Open Remote File" Dialogue box, when you type in a file or directory name that is not present in the current directory you receive an error message "The file transfer failed . . . " and the Open Remote File dialogue box closes. Instead of closing the Open Remote File dialogue box, it should stay open and allow you to try typing the correct name.
* The ftp feature is very nice but why just UPLOAD... DOWNLOAD (even binaries) would be a nice touch.
* Asociate one URL with each ftp account. If i check View->View in browser, it always ask for the url.

==Search / Replace==
* Highlight All Items Found feature
* Incremental Search support
* Ability to search/replace higher ANSI/non-printable ASCII characters (which are usually displayed as small boxes within EditPlus and cannot be copied and pasted into the search/replace dialogue). The hex value of those characters can be e. g. 0D, 3B, etc. In Perl they can be replaced with <tt>s/\x0D//</tt>
* When doing a "Find in Files", defining file type field to include some files and exclude some other files would be practical. For example, "*.c;*.p* -*.pdb" or "*.* -*.exe;-*.obj" would make it easy to filter out some files that we are not interested.

==Printing and Preview==
* a button for switching between portrait and landscape
* a button for fit-to-page

==Programmable API==
* What I would like to see in the EditPlus editor is an event system and access to editor's settings using some scripting language or even C/C++. For example, I want to create a VIM settings parser using Open File handler. For this I need to bind a small JavaScript listener that will change the tabstop, shiftwidth, softtabstop parameters for the currently edited file.
* Another example: I would like to checkout file in CVS when the user have started editing of an opened file and checkin when the user saves the edited file.

==Keyboard Shortcuts==
* Add HTML "code" element, to list of HTML keyboard shortcuts.(Very important for documentation creators and urgently needed).
* Ability to add "new" keyboard shortcuts.
* Ability to create "User Keyboard Shortcuts" files (ASCII file format), for other file formats such as PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, etc.

==Project Management==
* Better project management. As opposed to having that ugly dialog, have a dockable pane where I can view all the files added to a project, and easily drag&drop others.
* "Add Dir" adds all files and displays them in project window, as oppossed to just displaying the directory.
* Highlight broken project file links.
* Add project management to "cliptext" window area and add user option to change dialog box to full page, if desired.
* Save current workspace to a file and load/merge workspaces from files.
* Ability to load the last workspace even when "Reload working files on startup" is not checked.

==Miscellaneous==
* Allow running of Perl scripts from the desktop. Currently, EditPlus passes the long path but it seems that Perl needs the short path.
* Separate settings per user. Store the settings and FTP sites on a per user basis in the users' Local Settings/Application Data Folder.
* Color Selector to select any color on the screen, even outside of the editplus window. Shows the resulting color, the html color code and the rgb color code.
* Filter file type option in the left directory panel.
* Ability to set the backup folder for an individual project would be nice. If I specified a general folder, I would only have one index.bak file.
* Keyboard shortcut to rename files in the Directory Window (F2 comes to mind)
* Folding-tree navigation for Directory Window
* Option to Minimise to Tray instead of Closing. This should allow the user to click the "Close [X]" button or hit whichever key that is set to exit/close Editplus but let the program minimise to tray instead. A very useful feature found in quite a few popular editors.
* Ability to open different files in splitter window mode.
* View/Edit file in hexadecimal
* View '.htaccess' files as "Common Files", Or add a 'hide files filter list' so that for example all files except '*.bak' can be shown.
* An entry in Directory Toolbar which brings a list of the open files in Document Selector in alphabetical order.
* Ability to place User Tools 11-20 on the User Toolbar
* Ability to use user-icons for User Tools
* A keyboard shortcut to go to previous cursor position(s) when cursor is moved with mouse, search or paste. Like ^Q/^P in WordStar editor.
* An option to keep the cursor position after a column paste
* A WinXP/Vista x64 version of Editplus
* Better fixed column handling! I propose a three-option word wrap setting; No wrap, Wrap at window edge (the same as typical word wrapping) and wrap at column (with the wrap column selectable in the options somewhere).
* Code navigation. A keyboard shortcut to go to a function (like choosing it from a Function List), and support for Back/Forward mice buttons to go to previous editing positions.
* Support for a horizontal caret.
* Make Tools Preferences dialog box size changeable, for those of us who use screen resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or higher.
* Store "Web server root directories" list in ASCCI file format and make the gui bigger so we can view list properly and in full.
* Add user voting system for this page, so that users can decide which features should be implenmented, sooner rather than later.
* Add a section to this wiki, where users can contribute "Features Code" to Sangil. One person alone cannot be expected to implement all of these changes.
* "Document Editing Tree" - Most of the time when editing documents, for example php/html/aspx, these documents are often link to other documents. It would be good to see a feature which can locate (possibly limited from within predefined locations in Prefs > Tools) and display all the documents and media (css, scripts, includes, images, video, audio files,etc) linked to an open document and displayed in the cliptext/directory window. This is a feature which I have mainly seen implemented in some web browsers and /or their extensions, namely Firebug (A Mozilla Firefox Extension) and within the Safari 4 Web browsers "Web Inspector".
* Plug-ins - Is it possible that at some point in the future we might see the ability for users to be able to create plug-ins to expand the potential of EditPlus?

* Ability to sort Syntax File Types by description or file extension
* Beat the current 30 syntax files limit. The number of allowed syntax files should be possibly unlimited or there should be at least a much higher limit like 500 entries.
* A dockable window (at right) with the list of functions in the file. If you click the function name, the cursor of the edit window takes you to the beginning of the function
* Ability to remove/modify/restore the "default file types" when it will never be needed.
* Ability to change tagnames to lower case.

===Syntax Hints===
* OpenOffice-style word autocompletion for all frequently used words in the document. For example if the word 'function' was used multiple times in the document and you start typing 'fun' then the 'ction' should appear with a dotted border underneath. If you then press enter the cursor jumps to the end of the word. This feature is interoperable with the currently offered autocompletion: pressing space after function would insert the function stub from the acp file. This is a huge timesaver for me in OpenOffice, and I imagine EditPlus would benefit greatly from it also.
* DOM Capability. Ability to list DOM objects in a dropdown list. For example, in ASP when you type Response+Period then all the DOM selections for the Response object could be in the dropdown list. Just like in Visual Studio.
: "Intellisense" is the word you're looking for

===Syntax Highlight===
* Ability to create, import and export syntax highlighting colour schemes
* Ability to specify background as well as text color.
* * Ability to specify background colours and font effects (bold, italic, underlined) in syntax highlighting. This can make comments much easier to find, and be a very powerful aid for quote matching etc.
* Ability to highlight variables ( $scalar and $array[elements] ) in quoted string (Very very useful for script languages with string expansion like PHP or perl).
* Ability to highlight special characters in quoted strings (like \r, \n, \t, \x0F etc.).
* along with #COMMENTON and #COMMENTOFF, it would be nice to have #CODEON and #CODEOFF (i.e. everything outside of the specified delimiters is a comment by default). #COMMENTOFF and #COMMENTON work for that (essentially reverse the usage), except for the text before the placement for #CODEON. useful for Verisity's Specman e-language, since code is bracketed by <' and '>, and all else is comments. Still need to be able to use the #COMMENTON and #COMMENTOFF concurrently with the #CODEON and #CODEOFF though, as comments can reside in the bracketed code too. more explanation, or example e file: parkerjd@tampabay.rr.com
*ability to specify multiple-word keywords for syntax file (e.g. verilog import) together they highlight, separately they do not highlight unless specified on a separate line for each. maybe the CR/LF is the delimiter to use, or allow us to escape the space delimiter?
* ability to specify the folder containing the cliptext files (.ctl)
* ability to select another ''htmlbar.acp'' and ''template.html'' than the default ones (especially in a different location than the installation folder)
* Allow user additions to htmlbar and update standard HTML code especially now css class and style tags are very common
* Within comments, highlight words such as "FIXME", "TODO" and "XXX"
* Ability to copy syntax highlighted texts to clipboard as rtf or html
* Change syntax highlighting for current file more directly, such as through a drop-down.
* Fix so that #SCRIPT_END in comments would not brake syntax highlighting.
* Option to ignore .stx keywords in plain text (i.e. highlight them only when they are within the tag delimiters defined for the language.
* Intelligent heredoc syntax highlighting. For example, in PHP I may begin a block of SQL code like such: "$query = <<<SQL" and end it with "SQL;". EditPlus could take advantage of my hint ("SQL") and know to highlight this block with the syntax file associated with file of extension of ".sql".

===Code Folding===
* [[Code folding]] for functions and any block of code, configurable for every language. '''''(introduced in v2.30, although it's only able to fold indented code)'''''
* [[Code folding]] syntax based better than indent based as v2.30 do. (v2.30 folds even the commented code and folds not commented lines after one-line-commented line)
* Option to default all open files to 'Collapse All'

===Font Handling===
* Ability to simulate zooming in and out by increasing the font size on Ctrl+Mouse scroll wheel (like ms-word or even notepad2)

==User Interface==
* Separate editor column, like line numbers, but instead of numbers you can type bookmarks/labels on a line. Then, as you scroll the labels would move up and down along with the line they are attached to. If you scroll down the page to where the line no longer shows up, the label would show up in a list of labels at the top of the screen. Also, when scrolling down, the label would eventually move to a list of labels at the bottom of the screen. Then, labels in the top and bottom lists could be clickable to jump to that bookmark in the code. This could also be used to show functions on a page. Use your imagination!!!

==Unicode==
* Full UTF-8 Support
* Unicode UTF-8/16/32 Support
* Codepage autodetection for opened files, or, at least, possibility to choose the default codepage for all/certain types of files.
* Support right-to-left mode for Hebrew, Arabic, etc.
* UTF-8 support for Cliptext files (*.ctl)

==FTP==
* Encrypted site manager with a master password. This needs strong encryption - blowfish or better. This way if my computer is stolen, a bad person can't deface the web pages of my clients!
** Store passwords as plain text (like Pidgin does) so owner won't think they're already secure as they aren't
* Allow remote files to be opened via the command line -e switch (for example, something like editplus.exe -e ftp1:/path/to/remote/file).
* SFTP Support
** Public key auth
:'''''(from v2.2 What's New: "Experimental 'Use sftp' option (File->FTP->FTP Settings, Works only on Windows XP and higher).", but does not work properly on keyboard-interactive authorization.)'''''
:'''''If you are having trouble connecting to a server via SFTP, see [[FTP/SFTP#SFTP_Fix_for_OpenSSH|this fix]]'''''
* Ability to sort FTP accounts in the FTP Settings window. The current ordering is unpredictable, and a pain when you have a lot of FTP accounts configured
* Ability to group accounts in a hierarchical structure
* FTP transfer (saving / opening) should not be modal, waiting for the transfer to complete wastes time, which can be better spent editing other files for example.
* Option to enable not to load ftp files until their related document window is activated when loading projects or workspace files.
* In the "Open Remote File" Dialogue box, when you type in a file or directory name that is not present in the current directory you receive an error message "The file transfer failed . . . " and the Open Remote File dialogue box closes. Instead of closing the Open Remote File dialogue box, it should stay open and allow you to try typing the correct name.
* The ftp feature is very nice but why just UPLOAD... DOWNLOAD (even binaries) would be a nice touch.
* Asociate one URL with each ftp account. If i check View->View in browser, it always ask for the url.

==Search / Replace==
* Incremental Search support
* Ability to search/replace higher ANSI/non-printable ASCII characters (which are usually displayed as small boxes within EditPlus and cannot be copied and pasted into the search/replace dialogue). The hex value of those characters can be e. g. 0D, 3B, etc. In Perl they can be replaced with <tt>s/\x0D//</tt>
* When doing a "Find in Files", defining file type field to include some files and exclude some other files would be practical. For example, "*.c;*.p* -*.pdb" or "*.* -*.exe;-*.obj" would make it easy to filter out some files that we are not interested.

==Printing and Preview==
* a button for switching between portrait and landscape
* a button for fit-to-page

==Programmable API==
* What I would like to see in the EditPlus editor is an event system and access to editor's settings using some scripting language or even C/C++. For example, I want to create a VIM settings parser using Open File handler. For this I need to bind a small JavaScript listener that will change the tabstop, shiftwidth, softtabstop parameters for the currently edited file.
* Another example: I would like to checkout file in CVS when the user have started editing of an opened file and checkin when the user saves the edited file.

==Miscellaneous==
* Allow running of Perl scripts from the desktop. Currently, EditPlus passes the long path but it seems that Perl needs the short path.
* Separate settings per user. Store the settings and FTP sites on a per user basis in the users' Local Settings/Application Data Folder.
* Color Selector to select any color on the screen, even outside of the editplus window. Shows the resulting color, the html color code and the rgb color code.
* Filter file type option in the left directory panel.
* Ability to set the backup folder for an individual project would be nice. If I specified a general folder, I would only have one index.bak file.
* Keyboard shortcut to rename files in the Directory Window (F2 comes to mind)
* Folding-tree navigation for Directory Window
* Option to Minimise to Tray instead of Closing. This should allow the user to click the "Close [X]" button or hit whichever key that is set to exit/close Editplus but let the program minimise to tray instead. A very useful feature found in quite a few popular editors.
* Ability to open different files in splitter window mode.
* View/Edit file in hexadecimal
* View '.htaccess' files as "Common Files", Or add a 'hide files filter list' so that for example all files except '*.bak' can be shown.
* An entry in Directory Toolbar which brings a list of the open files in Document Selector in alphabetical order.
* Ability to place User Tools 11-20 on the User Toolbar
* Ability to use user-icons for User Tools
* A keyboard shortcut to go to previous cursor position(s) when cursor is moved with mouse, search or paste. Like ^Q/^P in WordStar editor.
* An option to keep the cursor position after a column paste
* A WinXP/Vista x64 version of Editplus
* Better fixed column handling! I propose a three-option word wrap setting; No wrap, Wrap at window edge (the same as typical word wrapping) and wrap at column (with the wrap column selectable in the options somewhere).
* Code navigation. A keyboard shortcut to go to a function (like choosing it from a Function List), and support for Back/Forward mice buttons to go to previous editing positions.
* Support for a horizontal caret.
* Better project management. As opposed to having that ugly dialog, have a dockable pane where I can view all the files added to a project, and easily drag&drop others.

Running on Linux

2008-12-16T06:38:47Z

WikiSysop: /* Create a shortcut */

==Introduction==
Did you realize that your favorite text editor runs on Linux? Well, now you know, so if you've been thinking about making the switch, you're out of excuses.

PS: This means, using DarWine, you can run this fine program on the Mac OS X. How cool is that?

==Installation Instructions==

To get EditPlus working under Linux, you need to install the popular '''Wine''' software. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. To install Wine on Ubuntu or Debian GNU/Linux, enter the following at the command line:

apt-get install wine

In a terminal window, download the latest [http://www.editplus.com/download.html EditPlus Windows installer] in your home directory.

cd ~
wget <nowiki>ftp://ftp.editplus.com/epp301_en.exe</nowiki>

Then invoke this command to start the installation process:

wine ./epp301_en.exe

Once it's installed, go to where EditPlus was installed, e.g.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EditPlus\ 2/

and run this command:

wine ./editplus.exe

It should start running and you should be good to go.

As an alternative, if you have a full installation of '''wine''' on your Linux system, shortcuts are auto-configured for Windows '''.EXE''' files. Double-clicking on '''epp230_en.exe''' in your desktop file browser will auto-magically bring up '''wine''' with the program loaded.

[[Image:Editplus-on-ubuntu.png|center|frame|EditPlus running under Wine on Ubuntu]]

==Post-Install Tips==

===Create a shortcut===

''Note: Wine should do this automatically if you choose to add an icon to your desktop at the end of the installation.''

You can create a desktop shortcut to EditPlus, so that clicking the icon will bring it up in wine.

Instructions for Gnome:
# Download the EditPlus icon [[Image:Editplus.png]] to your desktop (also see [[Icons]])
# Right click on the Desktop and select "Create Launcher..."
# Set the name to: <code>EditPlus</code>
# Set the command to: <code>wine "C:\Program Files\EditPlus 2\editplus.exe"</code>
# Click the "No Icon" button and select the EditPlus icon you downloaded

===Fonts===

If your Wine apps are using the ugly font that it picks by default, install the Microsoft Tahoma font. It can be downloaded [http://download.microsoft.com/download/office97pro/fonts/1/W95/EN-US/tahoma32.exe here]. Then simply run:

wine ./tahoma32.exe

and follow the prompts. '''Note:''' installing this font may cause the column marker not display the correct current column. Reason currently unknown.

If you have Debian or a Debian-based distro (such as Ubuntu), you should be able to download and install [http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/default.aspx Microsoft's Core Web Fonts] through "apt-get":

apt-get install msttcorefonts

If you are running Gentoo Linux, you can simply install Windows fonts through a package in portage, called corefonts:

emerge -av corefonts

For other fonts, see [[Fonts]].

===Windows Theme===

The default Windows widgets (buttons, menus, etc) that come with Wine look pretty ugly compared to a nicely polished Gnome interface. Fear not! You can [http://winehq.org/docs/en/wineusr-guide.html#AEN286 change the theme that Wine uses] to make it look more Gnome/WinXP-like.

Create a directory for the theme

mkdir -p ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale

Download the Royale theme (or you can download manually from [http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/Royale-Theme-for-WinXP.shtml here])

wget <nowiki>http://download.softpedia.com/dl/fea42c722d4efa76e428b5ad286c5912/48c42b7a/100013027/software/desktop/Royale_theme.zip</nowiki>

Unzip the downloaded file and move into the directory above

unzip Royale_theme.zip; cp Royale\ Theme\ for\ Win\ XP.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale

Install Royale theme and follow the prompts

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale/Royale\ Theme\ for\ Win\ XP.exe

Run <code>winecfg</code>, under the "Desktop Integration" tab, select the "Media Center style" as the Theme

[[Image:EditPlus-on-Ubuntu-Royale.png|center|frame|EditPlus running under Wine on Ubuntu with the Royale Theme]]

===Fixing the keyboard shortcuts===

You may not have realized it in Windows, but under Linux it can be handy to change some default keybindings (e.g. Ctrl+W to close a tab instead of Ctrl+F4). Use Document > Permanent Settings > Keyboard to do this.

===SFTP===

This tip not only applies to EditPlus, but ANY *nix app. First, install Fuse[http://fuse.sourceforge.net/]. Then install the Fuse filesystem SSHFS [http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html]. Now you can mount SFTP at a normal mount-point and open/save files just like you would to a local directory.

==User tools==

If you need to capture the output of your User Tools (Tools->Configure User Tools), you may have problems (at least with wine version 0.9.46). It seems that wine does not redirect well the output of the programs. The only output from the command line that can be redirected to EditPlus are Windows commands like "dir" or "more". A workarround is the following:
*Create a linux shell script with an .exe extension. This shell script must call the aplication you want to execute and write anything interesting in a temporary text file.
*Create a .bat that calls the previous .exe and prints the temporary text file with <code>more</code>.

For example, to capture the output of <code>make</code> you can do the following:

Create a text file named <code>compile.exe</code> with this content
<pre>
#!/bin/sh
make > compileResult.txt
</pre>
Create a text file named <code>compile.bat</code> with this content
<pre>
compile.exe
more compileResult.txt
</pre>
use this <code>compile.bat</code> in Tools->Configure User Tools

==Known Bugs==

* Internet Explorer within EditPlus does not work.
* Tools > Preferences does not seem to work in some versions of Wine, and in fact, may cause it to freeze. If this is the case in your version and you need to edit your preferences, you might try:
*# upgrading your version of Wine
*# access the Preferences dialog through Project > Manage Project > Edit Project
*# hand edit the configuration files located in the installation directory (and have a good laugh at the serious misspellings in some of those files). Installation files are usually located in a path like <pre>~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EditPlus 2/</pre>
* If you happen to be using Synergy at the same time that you're running EditPlus through Wine, and you copy something on a connected Windows box and bring the mouse focus back to Linux, then move the mouse over an open document in EditPlus, EditPlus will crash. It is probably extremely unlikely that you would happen to be running this specific system setup, so this bug will probably not apply to you. Copying and pasting between EditPlus and native Linux programs on the same machine does not appear to be an issue.
* ''Ctrl S'' for '''Save''' may switch between two open Wine apps with some wine configurations. To workaround this, you can:
*# change the Editplus hot key for '''Save''' one of two methods:
*## use the Preferences dialog to change the key binding
*## edit the Editplus configuration file ''default.key'' in the installation directory
*# change the wine hot key (tutorial coming soon)
* Saving larger files over ftp might result in the ftp dialog hanging at 100% with some configurations. The newer wine releases still give you a chance to push the cancel button which after some time will give you a message "cancelled by user" whereas with earlier version all you could do is terminate Editplus.
* Opening a file may mess up the window drawing under Wine. There are a few ways to correct this (hitting Enter usually works, although this won't work on read-only files if you've set them to be uneditable. The best solution I've found is Alt-D-X (Refresh STX), which redraws the window. You can bind this to a more handy keystroke (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Z) and just get used to hitting it each time you open a file. There might be a better solution out there...

==Linux/BSD Alternatives==
If EditPlus under WINE is unacceptable to you, there are Linux/BSD text editors with features comparable to EditPlus.

Heredoc

2008-12-16T05:41:55Z

WikiSysop: removing spam, yay

'''Heredoc''' syntax provides a means to delimit a string without using single or double quotes. This can be useful in situations with strings that contain many single or double quotes or that break across multiple lines.

EditPlus does not natively support [[Syntax Highlighting]] for heredoc strings, however you can modify an [[STX|.stx]] file to [[FAQ#How_do_I_make_EditPlus_.22correctly.22_highlight_PHP_heredoc_strings.3F|emulate string highlighting for heredoc strings]].

==PHP Syntax==
In [[PHP]], '''<<<''' (three left angle brackets) is the heredoc operator, denoting the beginning of the string. This operator is followed immediately by a custom identifier, which is then used to close the heredoc string. The closing identifier must begin in the first column of the line, containing no other characters except a semicolon (;). There can be no spaces/tabs after or before the identifier or the semicolon.

''The following is an example of heredoc string usage:''

$str = <<<EOF
Example of string
spanning multiple lines
using heredoc syntax.
EOF;
print $str;

==Bash Syntax==
In [[Bash]], a here document is a special-purpose code block. It uses a form of I/O redirection to feed a command list to an interactive program or a command, such as ftp, cat, or the ex text editor. A limit string delineates (frames) the command list. The special symbol << designates the limit string. This has the effect of redirecting the output of a file into the stdin of the program or command.

''The here document looks like this:''

#!/bin/bash
interactive-program <<LimitString
command #1
command #2
...
LimitString

By default bash will interpolate the content of the block like it would in a double-quoted string.
If you want to avoid this (for example if your here document contains a script you want to output
verbatim) you can put single quotes around your limit string.

user@host> var="hello"
user@host> cat <<LimitString
user@host> echo $var
user@host> LimitString
echo hello
user@host> cat <<'LimitString'
user@host> echo $var
user@host> LimitString
echo $var

You can also use the following syntax to allow tab characters in front of each line. This is especially useful in scripting to allow indentation.

#!/bin/bash
interactive-program <<-LimitString
command #1
command #2
...
LimitString

Spaces have been used in this example due to the limitations of the Wiki editor, however it should be noted that this syntax '''only''' allows tab characters.

FAQ

2008-12-16T05:41:19Z

WikiSysop: removing spam, yay

This page exists to collect a growing number of '''frequently asked questions''' or FAQs, many of which have come up over time on the [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/editplus/ EditPlus Yahoo! Group].

==What is EditPlus?==
EditPlus is an advanced text editor, HTML editor and programmers editor for Windows with syntax highlighting, HTML toolbar, user tools, line number, ruler, URL highlighting, auto-completion, cliptext, column selection, powerful search and replace, multiple undo/redo, spell checker, customizable keyboard shortcuts, and more.

==Who coded EditPlus?==
EditPlus is developed by [[Sangil Kim]] (ES-Computing), who lives and works in [http://www.geody.com/geospot.php?world=terra&ufi=-706308&alc=chn Chinju], [http://www.geody.com/geocountry.php?world=terra&cid=KS South Korea].

==How can I make EditPlus my default text editor?==
#Go to Tools / Preferences... / Files / Settings & syntax
#Select the File type for which you want EditPlus to be your default editor (like Text, PHP)
#Make sure that the extension you want to associate with EditPlus is listed in the File extensions field. Multiple extensions for the same file type are separated by a semicolon (";"). Example: php;php3;php4;inc
#Check Associate in Explorer

==How can I use EditPlus to "View Source" in Mozilla [[Firefox]]?==
See [[Firefox#Edit_Source_with_EditPlus]].

==How do I make EditPlus open with a blank document?==
#Goto Tools > Preferences > General
#Check "Create new document on start up"

Or you can create a shortcut with the '''/n''' comand line option
Like this
"Right-Click" a blank space on your desktop or folder, and choose "New" and then Click "Shortcut"
Then simply type in this
C:\Program Files\EditPlus 2\editplus.exe /n (or whatever your path to editplus is)
''The reason I list this option, is because sometimes you will want to right click and open a file with EditPlus, and if the "Create new document on start up" is checked it will open your file, plus the new blank document, when all you want open is the file that you sent Edit+''

==How do I change the output of the [[HTML]] toolbar buttons?==
#Edit the [[htmlbar.acp]] file under Program Files\EditPlus 2

==How do I change the default [[HTML]] template?==
#Edit the template.html file under Program Files\EditPlus 2

==How do I add a new file type to the list under File > New?==
#Create a new [[template file format|template file]] and save it in Program Files\EditPlus 2
#Select File > New > Configure Templates
#Click Add, set "Menu text" to the name of the file type and set the "File path" to the location of the template file

==How do I make the HTML toolbar appear when editing a CSS or other file type?==
#Goto Tools > Preferences > Settings & syntax
#Select CSS (or the appropriate file type) under "File types"
#Check "Show HTML toolbar"

==How do I make EditPlus correctly highlight quoted strings in PHP that contain carriage returns and/or line feeds?==
#Edit php.stx under Program Files\EditPlus 2
#Change #CONTINUE_QUOTE=n to #CONTINUE_QUOTE=y

==How do I make EditPlus "correctly" highlight PHP [[heredoc]] strings?==
#Edit php.stx under Program Files\EditPlus 2
#Add the COMMENTON2/COMMENTOFF2 lines below, where EOF is the heredoc identifer you plan to use in your PHP files. Alternatively you can leave out the EOF if you don't plan on having any semicolons in your heredoc strings
#Save php.stx
#Select Document > Refresh STX/ACP
#Select Tools > Preferences > Settings & syntax
#Select "PHP" under File types
#Select the "Syntax color" tab
#Make "Block Comment 2" the same color as Quotation and Quotation 2 (magenta is the default) or choose a unique color for heredoc strings
#COMMENTON2=<<<EOF
#COMMENTOFF2=EOF;

==How do I make the Document Selector toolbar two rows high?==
#Right click on the Document Selector toolbar
#Select "Options..."
#Set the "Number of rows" to 2

==How do I make the middle mouse button (or scroll wheel) close a file on the Document Selector?==
#Right-click on the Document Selector toolbar and select "Options..."
#Check "Close document with middle mouse button"
#Click OK

==How do I make EditPlus correctly highlight the syntax of a file with no extension?==
#Open the file in EditPlus
#Select Document > Change File Type
#Select the appropriate file syntax type
--'''''or'''''--
#Select Tools > Preferences
#Select Files > Settings & syntax
#Select "Default" from the list of file types
#In the "Syntax file" field, enter the path of the .stx file you want to use for files with no extension

==How do I make EditPlus highlight the current (or active) line?==
#Goto Tools > Preferences > General > Colors
#Select "Active line" in the Area box
#Uncheck the "Default" checkbox
#Select a color from "Background"

==How can I comment out several lines of text at once, using line-comment indicators?==
#Select the text you want to comment out and right click
#Select Format > Line Comment
#Enter the comment character or characters you wish to prepend to every selected line and click Ok
This method is also useful for appending any character(s) to the beginning of several lines. Some common types of line comment syntax includes:
; // : PHP, JSP, JavaScript, Java, C++, C#
; # : Perl, PHP
; ' :(''single apostrophe'') Visual Basic
; rem : Most BASIC dialects, including Visual Basic
; ; : (''semicolon'') many INI and CFG formats

==How can I comment out several lines of text at once, using block-comment indicators?==
The below method is useful for prepending and appending block-comment indicators to the beginning and end of selected-and-clipboard'ed lines for files of type: JSP, JavaScript, Java where /* marks the beginning of block-comment and */ marks the end of block-comment. For other file-types, substitute the /* and */ accordingly and proceed.

# Select some text in an open document within EditPlus.
# Start recording a macro by pressing CTRL + Q or by going to Tools, Record, Record Keystrokes... and assign a hot-key, say Alt+1 to it.
# You can also assign a label to the macro by pressing the Change Label... button.
# Press CTRL + X or go to Edit, Cut.
# Type <code>/*</code> and press Enter.
# Now press CTRL+V or go to Edit, Paste and press Enter.
# Type <code>*/</code> and end recording the Macro by pressing CTRL + Q or Tools, Record, Record Keystrokes.

You can also reassign a button on the HTML toolbar:

#Open the HTML toolbar auto-complete file [[htmlbar.acp]] in your EditPlus folder, e.g. C:\Program Files\EditPlus 3
#Decide which HTML toolbar icon you want to repurpose for block commenting, e.g. the Horizontal Rule (the button with two horizontal lines)
#Change this: <code>#T=HR <HR></code> to this: <code>#T=HR /*^!*/</code>

==How do I select a column or box of text?==
# Turn Word-wrap mode off (use Ctrl+Shift+W to toggle on/off)
# Hold down the Alt key and use the mouse to select the column of text you want
'''or'''
# Turn Word-wrap mode off (use Ctrl+Shift+W to toggle on/off)
# Place the cursor where you want to start copying
# Press Alt+C, or right-click and choose Column Select
# Use arrow keys to select the column of text you want
# Press Enter or click the mouse to complete column selection

You can then copy, cut, delete, and paste the selected "box" of text. Note: use caution when pasting text copied with column selection. It will overwrite existing text that exists within the dimensions of the "box" of text being pasted. If you paste at the end of a long line, shorter lines are padded so that the pasted text retains its original columnar layout.

==How can I modify the order of the tabs?==
You can drag and drop the tabs from the main program window.

An alternative method:
Invoke the Window List pressing F11.
From there you can sort the selected tabs by using the Up and Down buttons.

==How can I browse functions in my code?==
Invoke the Function List pressing CTRL+F11.

==How can I delete all empty lines in a text file?==
See [[Search_and_Replace_Tricks#Delete_all_empty_lines]]

==How can I change fonts? Where I can get new ones?==
See [[Fonts]].

==Can I quit the editor or close all open documents with a single key press?==
Yes, see [[Undocumented_Tricks#Close_all_files_pressing_ESC]].

A '''stub''' is a very short article, generally of one paragraph or less.

Most stubs fail to cover all but the most trivial subjects completely. However, this does not mean the stub is not a legitimate article—it just needs to be expanded.

Releases

==Latest Version==

v3.01 (build 446), released on April 14, 2008, available from the [http://www.editplus.com/download.html Download Page] or the [ftp://ftp.editplus.com/ EditPlus anonymous FTP].
 (latest major version, v3.00 build 323, was released on February, 11 2008)

===Version notes (unofficial)===
*EditPlus v3 only works on Windows 2000, XP, and Vista, and loses compatibility with Windows 95, 98, and ME. If you have an old Windows system you can't upgrade to EditPlus 3.
*EditPlus 3 saves files differently than EditPlus 2: now it opens the file and overwrites it, which means saved files are no longer moved at the end of the file list in the folder by Windows.

===Installation===
'''For installation on computers that do not have EditPlus version 2 installed:'''

1. Run the executable installer, selecting the directories in which INI (settings) and syntax (STX) files should be installed. (Auto-complete (ACP) and cliptext (CTX) files will go in the same directory as syntax files.)

'''For Installation on computers that have EditPlus version 2 installed:'''

1. Do not uninstall version 2. Versions 2 and 3 can co-exist on the same computer.

2. Install version 3 as described above.

3. Copy any non-standard syntax, auto-complete, and cliptext files from the version 2 installation to the location chosen for version 3.

4. Optionally, uninstall version 2 after confirming that version 3 works as desired.

==Latest Patch==
None, at the moment.

Patches can be downloaded from
[http://www.editplus.com/trouble.html EditPlus Patches page]

===Installation===
Extract the files contained inside the ZIP compressed patch file into the EditPlus installation directory.

WinSCP

WikiSysop: Reverted edits by GetdeLvico (Talk); changed back to last version by Lietu

'''WinSCP''' is an open source freeware SFTP client for Windows using SSH. Legacy SCP protocol is also supported. Its main function is safe copying of files between a local and a remote computer.

Though EditPlus does now support SFTP file transfer natively, it sometimes fails to connect to certain types of SFTP servers ''([[FTP/SFTP#SFTP_Fix_for_OpenSSH|see fix]]''). You can configure WinSCP to use EditPlus as an external editor.
Make sure you have WinSCP version 3.7.2 or higher in order for it to work properly with EditPlus. You can download WinSCP [http://winscp.net/eng/download.php here].

==Configure WinSCP to use EditPlus as an External Editor==
#Launch WinSCP
#Check "Advanced Options" in the lower left
#Select "Preferences" in the pane on the left
#Press the "Preferences..." button on the lower right
#Select Editors in the pane on the left
#Click "Add..." in the pane on the right
#Choose "External Editor" and enter the path to your EditPlus executable, followed by an exclamation point-dot-exclamation point e.g. <code>"C:\Program Files\EditPlus 2\editplus.exe" -e !.!</code>
#Check "External editor opens multiple files in one window (process)"

==Prevent SSH Timeout==
#Launch WinSCP
#Check "Advanced Options" in the lower left
#Select "Connection" in the pane on the left
#Under "Keepalives" choose "Sending of null SSH packets"

==Cache Password for Background File Transfer==
When you're editing a file opened using WinSCP, and you save that file, by default WinSCP will prompt for your password again. However, you can prevent that from happening by having WinSCP cache your password.
#Launch WinSCP
#Check "Advanced Options" in the lower left
#Select "Preferences" in the pane on the left
#Press the "Preferences..." button on the lower right
#Select Transfer > Background in the pane on the left
#Check "Remember password of main session for background transfers"

This page exists as a resource for '''Regular Expressions''' (also shortened as ''RegEx'' or ''RegExp'') frequently used in EditPlus. In order to learn more about the particulars of creating a regular expression in EditPlus, see [[regular expression syntax]]. Also note that [[Regular expression syntax#Operators and Syntax Not Supported in EditPlus|some standard regular expressions are currently not supported]].

Note: EditPlus only supports [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX POSIX]] Regular Expressions, not [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCRE PCRE]] (Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions), which means there are no back-references, no look-aheads, no fancy quantifiers, and no convenient character group syntax]]. Just your basic ^, $, +, *, ?, [ ], [^ ], syntax. Also note that +/* are always greedy.

WikiSysop: Reverted edits by LigetAceld (Talk); changed back to last version by Suthep

This is a list of bugs and other issues which are known to exist in the current release of Editplus. Hopefully these will be addressed in future versions.
Before adding something here you should ascertain that [[Sangil Kim]] has acknowledged that the issue exists.

===Unicode Characters with negative width===
Unicode has several subranges which include characters with negative width (when used they overlay the preceding character). These include:
* Combining Diacritical marks (U+0300 - U+033F)
* Some Tonos character used in Greek
* Four diacriticals used in Cyrillic
* Vowels in Devanagari
* Vowels in Tamil
* Vowels in Thai

As of version 2.3x, Editplus treats all character widths as positive when determining cursor position, but the text will be rendered correctly by the operating system, resulting in the cursor appearing in the wrong place (to the right) in text containing negative-width characters. Effects include odd spacing, invisibility of selected text and difficulty positioning the cursor to select, paste or edit. Sangil hopes to address this issue in a future version.

Hello everyone,

I use editplus now for about 4 years, its great and I cannot live without it.
But I want to step over to an linux based computer. Can someone tell me if editplus is developt also for linux?
Or If there is a really good other editplus for linux?

== Is it possible to configure Ant as a user tool ==
<nowiki>
Hi,
I've just spent 30 minutes trying to configure EditPlus to use ant as a user tool. My latest attempt is:
</nowiki>

Command: "C:\Program Files\Ant\bin\ant.exe"

Arg: -f $(FileName) $(CurSel)

Initial Dir: $(FileDir)

Capture output: yes , Save open files: yes

which didn't work. Any ideas?

thanks

== Internet Explorer 6 and 7 won't use EditPlus to edit HTML files ==
I have set Editplus as the default editor for IE using the Use EditPlus in Internet Explorer 5 (sic) checkbox.
The registry key at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\View Source Editor\Editor Name was then changed by EditPlus to D:\PROGRA~1\EDITPL~1\eppie.exe (which is where I have it installed)

But... in IE, the Tools > Internet Options > Programs tab still shows a blank instead of EditPlus and, more annoyingly, a context-menu click on Edit still brings up notepad.

Has anyone else seen this and perhaps ;) figured out how to correct this behaviour?

Thanks

== SQLPLUS as a user tool ==
Hi All

I have managed to integrate sqlcmd (SQL Server command line) with EditPlus. If you are interested:

Command: sqlcmd.exe

Argument: -S {server} -U {username} -P {password} -e -u -s| -d $(Prompt) -Q "$(CurSel)"

Capture Output

It will prompt you for a database name and run the selected (highlighted) SQL statement.

I have not tested but am sure sqlcmd.exe can be happily replaced with isql.exe

I would now like to do the same with SQLPLUS (Oracle command line).

There is no equivalent to "-Q" but the following DOS command does the same:

DOS PROMPT> echo select * from testtable | sqlplus {username}/{password}@{schema}

It pipes the select statement into a new sqlplus shell instance, displays the output, and returns to the DOS prompt.

How do you use this syntax to add an EditPlus user tool?

''Kai''

'''UPDATE: have found a way; see the EditPlus User Tools Wiki'''

There seems to be a bug in editplus with newline characters, even after installing the current patch.

IE:
This regular expression
<tag>.*\n.*</tag>

Matches the following text:

<tag>

</tag>

When I think it should only match a single newline inside the tag. Can anyone else duplicate this, or correct me if I'm mistaken?

Thanks,

[EDIT: This seems to be true in html files but not text files. I havent tried others.]

== Matching "(" and ")" in regular expressions ==

How does one do a literal match on characters used as regular expression operators? An real-world example:
I have a list of email addresses and names that I want to strip the names out of and they are in the following format:

Bob Smith (bob.smith@domain.com)

And I want to extract:

bob.smith@domain.com

The thing I couldn't work out how to do was match the "(" and ")" characters so I could pull out the data between them, as the parentheses characters would get interpreted as regex operators. I think it would be worth noting in this section how to escape the operator characters ("\" is described, from which I would infer that the others are probably escaped in the same way - e.g. "\.", "\(" etc, but it would probably be worth noting the correct way to do this).

FTP/SFTP

WikiSysop: Reverted edits by ErcacDelta (Talk); changed back to last version by Jumphog

==SFTP Fix for OpenSSH==
There is a limitation in EditPlus's implementation of SFTP that does not work with certain versions of OpenSSH. OpenSSH is the most commonly used implemenation of SFTP on Linux. If you can NOT to connect in EditPlus but you ARE with other applications (such as [http://filezilla.sf.net FileZilla], and the host is running OpenSSH version 3.8.1p1 or later, it could be that a simple configuration change on the server is all that is necessary to make it work.

Instructions:
*Edit the '''sshd_config''' file (commonly located in '''/etc/ssh/''').
*Find the line that starts with: '''PasswordAuthentication'''.
*Set it to '''yes''' instead of '''no'''.
*Restart the SSH daemon by typing (as root): '''/etc/init.d/ssh restart'''
*Alternatively use '''rcsshd restart''' if above doesnt work
*Try to connect with EditPlus

Additional helps:
To find out the version of SSH type: '''ssh -V''' 
A very common version that contains the problem is: '''OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.4, OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004''' 
''--Submitted by [[user:Deanhouseholder|Dean Householder]] on 21 Apr 2006''

==Simple SFTP [[Running on Linux|running EditPlus under Wine]]==
This tip not only applies to EditPlus, but ANY *nix app. First, install Fuse[http://fuse.sourceforge.net/]. Then install the Fuse filesystem SSHFS [http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html]. Now you can mount SFTP at a normal mount-point and open/save files just like you would to a local directory.

==Keep FTP settings on upgrade to V3==
It seems editplus now uses a unicode inifile for its ftp settings (I guess the filename ftp2_u.ini gives it away). To avoid entering in all your ftp servers when you upgrade convert your file like so:

*Open your old ftp2.ini
*Find all occurances of 'sftp=0' and add 'utf8=0' on the line before
*Save as ftp2_u.ini AND change the encoding to Unicode

Writing a text filter

2008-07-15T07:20:15Z

WikiSysop: Reverted edits by ErsitCnage (Talk); changed back to last version by 216.239.124.38

== Writing a text filter ==
This is an outline of how to write your own text filter user tool.

=== Why? ===
I worked out how to do this because I wanted to filter error messages from a huge SQL script output file, but you can use this technique to manipulate a file in any way. Imagine if search and replace had even more power than regular expressions. The only limits are your programming ability and imagination.

=== How? ===
You set up a [[User Tools|user tool]] to run your filter - select the "Run as text filter" option. You don't need to use any of the special arguments like <tt>$(FileName)</tt> because text filters are always run on the content of the current EditPlus window. The command and argument settings will vary according to the way your filter must be called.
Of course, you also have to write the filter. My example below is Java, but any language that can read the standard input stream and write to the standard output stream is fine. If you're familiar with the idea of writing a utility that runs in a command line pipe, this is very similar.
The general approach is that you are fed the content of the current file which you read. Your code decides what to do with this input. It can output some or all of the input, add or replace sections, generate something entirely new. Meanwhile, you can also do anything else you fancy with the text, like e-mail the juicy bits to your granny.

=== What if it goes wrong? ===
Just like using search and replace, if you don't like what the filter has done to your text, you can undo.

=== Example 1: Java ===
This Java code removes from SQL script output messages that indicate that things have worked correctly, leaving only error messages.
<pre>
import java.io.*;
import java.util.HashSet;
public class SPOutStripper
{
static HashSet strippers = new HashSet ();
static
{
strippers.add ( "" ); // a blank line
strippers.add ( "Table dropped." );
strippers.add ( "Table created." );
strippers.add ( "1 row created." );
strippers.add ( "Commit complete." );
strippers.add ( "Table altered." );
strippers.add ( "1 row updated." );
// ...and many others
}
public static void main ( String [] args )
throws Exception // Lazy programmer hopes IOException won't bite him
{
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader ( new InputStreamReader ( System.in ) );
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter ( new BufferedWriter ( new OutputStreamWriter ( System.out ) ) );
String line;
// Loop through lines of input
while ( null != ( line = in.readLine () ) )
{
// Check whether line should be stripped out
if ( ! strippers.contains ( line ) )
{
// If it shouldn't, send it back out again
out.println ( line );
}
}
out.flush (); // Important!
// Finished - tidy up
out.close ();
in.close ();
}
}
</pre>

=== Example 2: Perl ===
Perl code for removing leading and trailing whitespace (spaces and tabs)
<pre>
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
while (my $text = <STDIN>) {
chomp $text;
$text =~ s/^[ \t]+|[ \t]+$//g;
print "$text\n";
}
</pre>

=== Example 3: Javascript or VBScript ===
This example is in Javascript. It works basically the same in VBScript.
Run as:
cscript //NoLogo "c:\path to tool\tool.js"
<pre>
var stdin = WScript.StdIn;
var stdout = WScript.StdOut;
var input = stdin.ReadAll();
/*
Here you do something with the input.
But since this is a demo, we're just going to write it back out.
*/
stdout.Write(input);
</pre>

=== Example 4: Python ===
This example attempts to tidy XML. It can be run as an EditPlus text filter tool, or from the command line.
<pre>
import os,sys,re,string

def openAnything(source):
"""Cribbed form diveintopython.org """

return StringIO.StringIO(str(source))

Function lists

WikiSysop: Reverted edits by ElttrC4tta (Talk); changed back to last version by ElfQrin

==PHP5==
When using classes in PHP5 the function keyword can be preceded by "public", "private" or "protected". The following updated regex takes account of this change from PHP4. If you don't know why you might need this, then you probably don't.

^[ \t]*(public[ \t]|protected[ \t]|private[ \t]|)[ \t]*function[ \t].*\([^;]*$

To also show classes in the function list use the following:
^[ \t]*((public[ \t]|protected[ \t]|private[ \t]|)[ \t]*function[ \t].*\()|(class[ \t].*\{)[^;]*$

Regular expression syntax

2008-07-15T07:18:46Z

WikiSysop: Reverted edits by VaracElbas (Talk); changed back to last version by ElfQrin

EditPlus supports '''Regular Expressions''' in search and replace, but its engine is not as feature-rich as others. A list of common regular expression features not available in EditPlus is available [[Regular expression syntax (unsupported)|here]]. Please see [[Regular Expressions]] for some commonly used examples.

==Operators and Syntax Supported in EditPlus==
; \ : escape (\ = \\) used for matching characters that have special meaning as regular expressions
; ^ : (caret) beginning of line (assertion)
; $ : end of line (assertion)
; \t : horizontal tab (0x09)
; \n : newline (0x0A or 0x0D or 0x0D+0x0A)
; . : (period) any character
; ( ) : referencable grouping, see \0 - \9 below, e.g. (foo) matches "foo"
; [ ] : character class (''or-list''), e.g. [abc] matches "a", "b", or "c"
; [^ ] : negated character class, e.g. [^abc] matches a character that is not "a", "b", or "c"
; - : (minus sign) character range used within character class, e.g. [a-z] matches a character in the range "a" through "z"
; | : (vertical bar) logical or, e.g. (foo|bar) matches "foo" or "bar"
; * : (asterisk) match the preceding character or group zero or more times, e.g. foo* matches "fo", "foo", "fooo", etc, but not "f"
; + : (plus-sign) match the preceding character or group one or more times, e.g. foo+ matches "foo", "fooo", etc, but not "f" or "fo"
; ? : (question mark) match the preceding character or group zero or once only, e.g. foo? only matches "fo" and "foo"
; \0 - \9 : used in "Replace with" field to represent text matched with parenthesis (\0 = whole match, \1 - \9 = submatches), no back-references
; & : When used in the "Replace with" field, the entire match is replaced. To replace with an actual ampersand, you must escape it \&

==Operators and Syntax Not Supported in EditPlus==
Some common regular expression syntax/operators not available in EditPlus:

; ''foo''{''num''} : match ''foo'' exactly ''num'' times
; ''foo''{''min'', ''max''} : match ''foo'' at least ''min'' and at most ''max'' times, both optional
; \a : 0x07, BEL
; \f : 0x0C, formfeed
; \r : 0x0D, carriage return, see \n
; \e : 0x1B, ESC
; \x''foo'' : 0x''foo'', hexadecimal character reference
; \c''foo'' : control-''foo''
; \s : whitespace character, use [ \t\n]
; \S : non-whitespace character, use [^ \t\n]
; \d : decimal digit, use [0-9]
; \D : not a decimal digit, use [^0-9]
; \w : ''word'' character, letter, for English use [A-z]
; \W : non-''word'' character, non-letter, for English use [^A-z]
; <nowiki>[[:alpha:]], [[:lower:]], [[:upper:]], [[:alnum:]], [[:digit:]], [[:xdigit:]], [[:punct:]], [[:graph:]], [[:print:]], [[:blank:]], [[:space:]]</nowiki> : predefined character classes (POSIX)
; \b : word boundary (assertion)
; \B : not a word boundary (assertion)
; \A : subject start (assertion), use ^
; \Z : subject end (assertion), use [\n$]
; \z : subject end (assertion), use $
; assertions other than ^ and $ : parts of patterns that are not added to matches:
; (?=''foo'') : positive assertion
; (?!''foo'') : negative assertion
; (?<=''foo''), (?<!''foo'') : look-behind assertion
; (?>=''foo''), (?>!''foo'') : look-ahead assertion, once-only sub-pattern
; (?(''foo'')''true''), (?(''foo'')''true''|''false'') : conditional sub-pattern, ''foo'' being either the number of a sub-pattern or an assertion
; (?<nowiki>:</nowiki>''foo'') : grouping, non-referencable
; (?i''foo''), (?m''foo''), (?s''foo''), (?x''foo'') : inline modifiers
; (?R) : recursive pattern
; (?#''foo'') : comment

===Workaround===
A user tool, [http://editplus.info/wiki/User_Tools#Full_RegEx_Supported_Replace_and_More.21 Full RegEx Supported Replace and More] has been developed that adds full regex support to EditPlus.

Lorem ipsum

2008-04-02T16:26:11Z

WikiSysop: Reverted edits by Lool (Talk); changed back to last version by ElfQrin

In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum (or simply lipsum) is standard placeholder text used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout. Lipsum also serves as placeholder text in mock-ups of visual design projects before the actual words are inserted into the finished product. 

=Classic Lorem ipsum=

==Canonical Lorem ipsum text==

: ''"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."''

==Original Lorem ipsum text==

The text is derived from Cicero's ''De finibus bonorum et malorum'' (''On the Ends of Goods and Evils'').

The original version (with the excerpted items '''highlighted'''):

: ''[32] Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem, quia voluptas sit, aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos, qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt, neque porro quisquam est, qui do'''lorem ipsum''', quia '''dolor sit, amet, consectetur, adipisci''' v'''elit, sed''' quia non numquam '''eius mod'''i '''tempora incidunt, ut labore et dolore magna'''m '''aliqua'''m quaerat voluptatem. '''Ut enim ad minim'''a '''veniam, quis nostrum exercitation'''em '''ullam co'''rporis suscipit''' laborios'''am, '''nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequat'''ur? '''Quis aute'''m vel eum '''iure reprehenderit,''' qui '''in''' ea '''voluptate velit esse''', quam nihil molestiae '''c'''onsequatur, vel '''illum''', qui '''dolore'''m '''eu'''m '''fugiat''', quo voluptas '''nulla pariatur'''? [33] At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus, qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti, quos dolores et quas molestias '''exceptur'''i '''sint, obcaecat'''i '''cupiditat'''e '''non pro'''v'''ident''', similique '''sunt in culpa''', '''qui officia deserunt mollit'''ia '''anim'''i, '''id est laborum''' et dolorum fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. Nam libero tempore, cum soluta nobis est eligendi optio, cumque nihil impedit, quo minus id, quod maxime placeat, facere possimus, omnis voluptas assumenda est, omnis dolor repellendus. Temporibus autem quibusdam et aut officiis debitis aut rerum necessitatibus saepe eveniet, ut et voluptates repudiandae sint et molestiae non recusandae. Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur a sapiente delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus maiores alias consequatur aut perferendis doloribus asperiores repellat.''

Adam, thanks for your assistance keeping spam in check. As a sysop, you can delete/undelete pages, block IPs, and most importantly rollback spam more easily. I have disabled anonymous editing, so hopefully you won't need to use that power much anymore.
