Please assist - I am eager to use JEdit but I will never be able to get into it if I can't get the color coding 'the way I like it'...yes, this is probably one of my more important requirements strange as that seems...

But I do not understand how this works in Jedit. Is there a way to set it up so that it can color code my HTML tags one way, my javascript another way (with the entire script in a specific background color) and my JSP another way (with each scriptlet block in another background color) ?

The idea being that, more than color coding attributes and specific details like that, I am interested in breaking out a JSP file so that all blocks of HTML,JAVASCRIPT and JSP have different background colors throughout the whole block so you can easily see what language you are in .

I currently use homesite because it gives me the customization to do just this and I am dying to try jedit but I have no idea if such color coding is possible

Thanks a lot

Hi there,

I'm fairly new to regular expressions, but I have used jEdit for soem time now. I have search online (google) and also around these forums. So far I haven't found any information for what I am looking for. Perhaps it is my lack of experience with RE if so please forgive my ignorance.

I would like to be able to run regular expressions in jEdit as whole expressions, for example. presently to do a complex find and replace I have to type regular expression argument in the search box, And then place a value in the replace box. The problem with this is that I can't use parenthesis () to back-reference a previously reference string.

Programatical example:

s/(<h2>[^<]*./h2>)/<div>\1<p></p></div>/g

Search for <h2> and any thing in between this and it's close tag to replaced and included as e.g.
find: <h2>Title here</h2>
and replace with: <div><h2>Title here</h2><p></p></div>

regardless of the value for the content between the <h2> and </h2> strings.

I realize that I can use a macro to complete what I am attempting with RE but that defeats my main purpose of learning RE by experimentation.

Thanks Aaron

Text insertion before a number on 10,000 text lines possible?

I figure it could be possible to do it with a macro or action script of sorts however one would need to start from the last line forward as the text inserted will need to be 3 lines or more itself and that would make the line seeking not work properly if started from the beginning.. Below is example of what I am trying to achieve..

111111
222222
333333
444444
555555

turned into this 10,000 times automated in a batch file?

Please post a reply as what application I should be using if any you know of out there?

below is what the end 10,000 lines turned into 40,000 should look like...

SAME TEXT SAME TEXT 111111
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT 222222
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT 333333
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT 444444
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT 555555

If you think I will have do this by hand please also post a reply.. Thanks for reading this.. 2 word comments are fine.. Cheers

I've combed through the forums and search and I am not certain if this is documented, or can even be done.

I work a lot with ant scripts and many are not named build.xml. I am looking for a way to reference xml files other then build.xml as ant file. Is this possible, and if so how?

Thanks!

Is it possible to have jedit do something like pycrust or SPE, where typing...


import os
os.


would pop up a dialogue with a list of methods and properties (preferably including doc strings) from the object/module preceding '.'?

If so, what would be required to set this up?

For making annoying ASCII-Formats (without enough whitespaces in it) easier to read I want to colorize different columns with different colors (i.e. columns 1-10 = yellow, columns 11-20 = red, and so on).

Does have anyone an idea to realize that?

Thanks
Robert

When in Rectangle mode , if I try to use Vertical input ( typing the same text to a couple of line vertically)

I have a problem with creating new mode - no syntax highlighitng! I create new mode and have a problem. OK, I (probbably) made error when creating new one. Then create new in next steps: 1. Copy existing mode (pascal.xml) to new (newmode.xml) 2. In catalog file added Try to use this new mode but without syntax higlighting? And yes, I select Buffer option/Edit mode: NEWMODE! Why syntax highlighiting doesn't work? Please help, Misko

Hello,

Is there any way (with plugins or whatever) to save the closed folds after you close and reload? I've tried the build in support plus the Configurable Fold Handler but have not managed to get it to work.

Thanks.

Just installed the application with the following plugins: - CSS Editor - ErrorList - JTidy - Latest version check - PHPParserPlugin - QuickNotepad - Sidekick - XML I just cannot get autocompletion to work when I am creating a PHP document. I press but nothing happens. OK something happens: - I type - Instead of an autocompletion list, I get a [backspace] action: , I get a blank document. Please help

I would like to have a flat plugins menu without A-M and N-Z submenus. Is it possible?

If not, then is it possible to have a few plugins of my choice in the main plugins menu und the rest in letter submenus of the plugins menu?

Wish you a nice day

I've installed jEdit 4.2final on a WinXP. I've used the Plugin manager to install ProjectViewer and SQL (among others).

I note that in a project's properties, I can define servers including Password and Username. (I'm using a DB2 database, ODBC appears to be the only available SQL server type).

I can't seem to find a mechanism to enter the password only when connection is attempted. I don't wish to leave my password, or username for that matter, in the definition of the server. I'd like a situation such that when I try to make a connection, I am asked for the password, or username/password.

Can I do this? And, if so, how?

TIA

I've done a search through the forms and Google, and couldn't find the answer to this question: Is there a way to get console to cd (change directory) to the current default project directory for ProjectViewer. It's the last little touch I need to have my happy little Java IDE.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm trying jEdit out -- I typically use emacs as my text editor.

I can't find any emacs key bindings, and when I try to manually change the shortcuts in the global options, the dialog will not accept a keystroke containing ctrl or opt (alt); it will only accept the cmd key as a meta key. Is there any way to get ctrl-based shortcuts on Mac OS X? Is there an easy way to configure jEdit for emacs key bindings (e.g. Ctrl-E to move to the end of the line, etc)?

Also, I tried using the included Mac OS X Setting plugin to use a Mac-style menubar at the top of the screen, but it is still in the jEdit window. I've checked/unchecked the checkbox and restarted jEdit multiple times, but I still have a menubar in the application window. Am I missing something?

Hi, I'd like to write a commando file for calling a C compiler. I've had a look at some of the available commando files. I understand the XML parts however I'm not clear about the COMMAND section, for example: buf = new StringBuffer("cd "); buf.append(MiscUtilities.getParentOfPath(buffer.getPath())); buf.toString(); buf = new StringBuffer(gcc); if(wall) buf.append(" -Wall"); if(!link) buf.append(" -c"); if(!addopts.equals("")) { buf.append(" "); buf.append(addopts); } buf.append(" "); buf.append(source); buf.toString(); Is this BeanShell? Cheers, Chris

Hi,

I'm new to jEdit.

I'd like to use it for cross-platform C development.

I'm particularly interested in how to compile, link and execute code from jEdit. I've installed the Console plugin and managed to get it to compile some C code (I'm currently working on Windows).

The plugin has a command to "Compile Current Buffer/Run Current Buffer" however when I try to execute these commands I get the following error message:

"There is no compiler associated with this buffer. You can specify compilers on a mode-specific basis in the Utilities->Global Options dialog box"

I've had a look in this dialog box however I can't see where to set this--can someone please explain how to do this.

Cheers,

Chris

how do I mark a word and then just automatically fills it into the Find-next option ?
( used crimson editor before, and u just mark a word,and click search-next - it automatically search for the next marked word)

I've noticed when I edit XML or HTML files, if I enter part of a tag a scrollbox will pop up offering me possibilities for completing the tag... Where does it get the information for that? I'm making an edit mode for another language and I'd like to add autocompletion of function names, but can't seem to figure out where to configure that. I thought it was Accelerators, but my template folder is empty. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi everybody,

Just got to use Jedit and already think it's a great tool... However, I was wondering, is there a way to keep only one instance of Jedit open? If I choose to open a file assigned to Jedit from other location than File / Open I would like to have it within the same instance on another tab.

Thanks a million.
