Search And Replace Filter?
Submitted by gamigin on Thursday, 5 April, 2007 - 17:16
I can do a Search and Replace on all my Java source by using "*.java" in the filter field.
I can also search all my XML files by using "*.xml" in the filter field.

How do I serch both Java source and XML files in the same search? I've tried space, comma, semi-colon as delimiter and those don't work. I've searched the documentation and nothing is mentioned. Any ideas?

ANSI Encoding
Submitted by techogre on Tuesday, 27 March, 2007 - 14:41
Hello,

I'm trying to use jEdit to edit XML files. These files include french and english text, so there are accented characters. When I open the file in Notepad or Notepad++, the accented characters show up properly, and the file is noted as being encoded in "ASNI Encoded". In jEdit, the characters show up as boxes.

I prefer jEdit for the XML and Freemarker support.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!
Identation of .rhtml files in jedit
Submitted by suramakr on Monday, 26 March, 2007 - 16:35
I am having difficulties getting jedit to properly indent by .rhtml files. The colorification takes place right, but somehow the various tags don't seem to indent at all. They all start from column 0. Is there any setting I need to take care of?

All ruby programs wrap and indent properly.

thanks

Modes:: How do you match the beginning of a file w/ a regex?
Submitted by LDiracDelta on Friday, 23 March, 2007 - 18:45
I'm creating a Specman syntax highlighting mode and I'm trying to make all the text from the start of the buffer to "<'" be highlighted. Some sort of regex like: {BEGINNING_OF_FILE} ^<' Does anyone know how to do that?

Submitted by frisky on Friday, 23 March, 2007 - 03:13
Hi,

It should be easy to associate text files w/jedit but I can not find jedit.exe anywhere on my windows2000, but jedit works OK.

The FAQ say something about a jedit launcher....

I'm looking for simple cookbook step by step instructions on how to get files associated w/jedit...please link me

thanks
Limiting search in subdirectories
Submitted by atg2d on Wednesday, 21 March, 2007 - 07:42
Hi is it possible with some plugin or from jEdit itself to limit the search in subdirectories to NOT search in a particular directory and it's subdirectories.
Here is my situation:
I have a mirror of a working site and in it there is a folder where users upload photos and videos. This folder has more than 50000 subfolders and much more files in them. The code for the site is above that big folder, and there are some other subfolders with javascript, css, etc. When i want to search something in my code(all the code javascript,css...) i have to do it folder by folder - i can't use the option "Search in subdirectories" because it will start searching in that big folder too. Normally i would remember to turn that option off, but sometimes i forget and the search starts in the big folder too and the only way to stop it is to kill the java process(which sometimes leads to resetting most of my settings in jEdit to the default ones).
So is there any way to tell jEdit to search in subfolders but not in that particular one and others like it?
Thanks
getting SuperAbbrevs to run
Submitted by mamboze on Monday, 19 March, 2007 - 04:03
Hi,
A first post. I've just started with jEdit 1.5.0_06 and am very happy with it, but (always a but) I do have one problem. I can't get SuperAbbrevs to work. I've looked at one tut here

http://ifakedit.com/log/2006/02/19/jedit-tutorial-a-how-to-on-abbreviations-superabbrevs-in-html-ruby-on-rails-and-more/

I can't see where to put the key combo to expand the abbreviations shown in the Plugins > Plugin Options > SuperAbbrevs>Abbreviations dialog. I think I'm missing something rather obvious so any help would be very welcome

daylight savings time
Submitted by was8309 on Thursday, 15 March, 2007 - 23:01
in JEdit v4.2, the time displayed in the status bar is not reflecting the new dst change. Insert_Date.bsh also does not, the code is :

Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
// zone offset with daylight savings
int zoffset = (rightNow.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET) +
rightNow.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET)) / 60000;

I'm guessing I don't have a setting correct. By default does Jedit not use the JRE on my machine?
At http://ablogofideas.net/blog/2007/02/19/test-your-java-for-new-daylight-saving-time-changes/ there is a dst checker that I ran and got :

Hello, you are running Sun Microsystems Inc. JVM version: 1.6.0
OLD Daylight Saving Time (DST) dates: Apr 1 - Oct 28
NEW DST dates: Mar 11 - Nov 4
Now (2007-03-15 12:48:39 EDT) DST offset: 1 hours
2007-03-12 01:00:00 EDT DST Offset: 1 hours
2007-04-02 01:00:00 EDT DST Offset: 1 hours
2007-10-27 01:00:00 EDT DST Offset: 1 hours
2007-11-03 01:00:00 EDT DST Offset: 1 hours
.-----------------------------------------------
. Your JVM is OK with the new DST changes .

sorry I know very little about java, any advise will be appreciated, thanks.
Highlighting Issue
Submitted by Lance on Friday, 9 March, 2007 - 20:29
I am having trouble getting my syntax highlighting to work with one form of comments. I am making a highlighter for Pick BASIC. Comments can be in the following format:

REM This is a comment
* This is a comment
A = A + 1 ;* Everything after the * is a comment
100 * Everything after the * is a comment. The 100 is a label.
MYLABEL: * Everything after the * is a comment. The MYLABEL: part is a label.

Currently everything is highlighting fine except the last two comment types. It doesn't seem to recognize them as comments. Here's the relevant part of the highlighter xml:

<MODE>
	<PROPS>
<!--		<PROPERTY NAME="lineComment" VALUE="*" /> -->
	</PROPS>

	<RULES IGNORE_CASE="TRUE" HIGHLIGHT_DIGITS="TRUE">
		<SPAN TYPE="LITERAL1" NO_LINE_BREAK="TRUE">
			<BEGIN>"</BEGIN>
			<END>"</END>
		</SPAN>
		<SPAN TYPE="LITERAL2" NO_LINE_BREAK="TRUE">
			<BEGIN>'</BEGIN>
			<END>'</END>
		</SPAN>


		<!-- conditional compilation -->
		<EOL_SPAN_REGEXP TYPE="COMMENT1" AT_LINE_START="TRUE">\d+ \*</EOL_SPAN_REGEXP>
		<EOL_SPAN TYPE="KEYWORD2">#if</EOL_SPAN>
		<EOL_SPAN TYPE="KEYWORD2">#else</EOL_SPAN>
		<EOL_SPAN TYPE="KEYWORD2">#end</EOL_SPAN>

		<EOL_SPAN TYPE="COMMENT1" AT_WHITESPACE_END="TRUE">*</EOL_SPAN>
		<EOL_SPAN TYPE="COMMENT1">;*</EOL_SPAN>
		<EOL_SPAN TYPE="COMMENT1">; *</EOL_SPAN>
		<EOL_SPAN TYPE="COMMENT1">REM</EOL_SPAN>

Functions and operators are listed below here but didn't seem relevant to the problem. Any help on getting this working would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Can XML plugin be configured to use a specified schema?
Submitted by guyr on Thursday, 1 March, 2007 - 19:35
I'm attempting to use the XML plugin to edit OpenLaszlo files (http://www.openlaszlo.org). The problem is that I cannot include the schema name inside the Laszlo source file; Laslzo won't accept that. Is there any way I can identify to the XML plugin that when it sees files with an extension of .lzx, it should automatically use a particular schema? Thanks.
toggle fold
Submitted by McSwell on Tuesday, 13 February, 2007 - 16:40
I would like to assign a shortcut key to toggle fold. Thus, if the caret is on a line where it makes sense, ^T (let's say) would collapse the fold if the fold was already open, and expand it fully if the fold was already closed.

I don't see any obvious way to do that--there's no command in the Global Options | Shortcuts list that jumps out at me, although I could have missed it. (Nah. I thought I was wrong once, but turned out I was mistaken.)

I suppose I could write a macro, if I knew how to tell whether the current fold was folded or unfolded (and whether the current line was foldable). There must be a way, that's what the little triangles in the gutter do. But I'm not a Java programmer...

I googled this without finding anything obvious. Thanks for any pointers!

XML parsing complete, 1 error(s)
Submitted by McSwell on Tuesday, 13 February, 2007 - 15:29
When I switch to one of my buffers that contains XML code I've written, I get a msg down on the status line:
XML parsing complete, 1 error(s)
How can I get it to tell me more about the error? (like what line it's on) I tried xmllint, but it claims no errors.

auto pairs - how to auto close ()
Submitted by nephish on Saturday, 3 February, 2007 - 17:19
is there a plugin or macro that i can use that will auto close a bracket or quote ?
this is a feature in scribes that i really miss in Jedit.
i have tried the abbreviations trick but it doesn't really work because sometimes i do want a space inside the quotes. and if i open a bracket or brace ( or { or [ and hit space twice, it closes.

anyway, if this is a feature already, please let me know how to turn it on, or if a plugin or macro, please let me know.

great editor / IDE you guys have here, i use it for everything
