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

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

When I split the window into two or more panes (View | Splitting | Split {horizontally, vertically}), it's hard for me to tell which pane the cursor is in. (OK, if jEdit is the only app I'm using, I can probably remember, but when I switch to a different app and then come back, my memory fails me.)

Currently, the only way (AFAIK) is to look for the "caret". But this can be hard to notice, even if it's a blinking red (outline) block. (No comments on my eyesight, please!)

My suggestion: when the current line is highlighted (Global Options, in the dialog box "Highlight current line" is checked under jEdit->Text Area), only highlight the current line of the *active* pane (= active "Text Area").

An alternative or additional possibility would be to slightly gray the non-active pane.

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?

I'm using the 'Tags' plugin on an XML schema file, and I can't get it to work. Instead of jumping to the correct XML element, it jumps to the first element in the file where the correct element is located. This appears to be a result of its truncating the search string to the first 19 or so characters.

Specifically, I'm running ctags to build a tags file. This seems to be working correctly; for example, one of the elements is:

<xsd:complexType name="EnvironmentType">

The corresponding tag in the 'tags' file is:

EnvironmentType Phonology.xsd /^<xsd:complexType name="EnvironmentType">$/;" r

If in the Plugins | Options dlg box, under 'Tags-->General' I leave the checkbox unchecked for "If tag match is found continue searching subsequent tag index files", putting my cursor on the string "EnvironmentType" somewhere causes jEdit to jump to the first 'complexElement' tag in the file, which is not the correct one.

Now it happened at one point that I had two tags files, which both had entries for this XML schema file. With the check box checked, trying to follow a tag from that string gives me a dlg box that asks which of two (identical) tags I want to jump to. Each one looked something like this:

1. EnvironmentType <long filename>

r

<xsd:complexType na

You'll notice that the third line ("<xsd:complexType na") is truncated to about 20 characters. I think this explains why it's jumping to the first element in the file: it does a search for "<xsd:complexType na", and that leads it to the first 'complexElement' tag .

So why is the search string getting truncated? Does it have to do with the fact that the filename (which contains an sftp address) is so long, and it's overflowing the buffer? McSwell

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

I am using jedit 4.2. I have the ruby plugin installed. My problem is with .rhtml files. Why won't the lines get indented properly? all the html stuff, and scripts within the <% and <%= start from column 0. Any one has suggestions how I can fix this? anything in global options I need to set to correct this? With ruby code I don't experience this, with every enter the cursor automatically positions itself at the right offset. thanks Sudhakar

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!

Hello all,

first of all I would like to thank the developers. jEdit is a brilliant tool. The opportunity to write own java based macros is an excellent feature. Unfortunately I have some problems in regard to pick up the right buffer for an automatic safe. But before I go into detail I have to mention, that I am not an experienced Java programmer.

What I try to do is to manipulate data from file A and try to safe it in file B.
For this purpose I take the data out of buffer A use the tokenizer to extract the needed data and write that into buffer B.
Therefore I have written the following code:

editPane.prevBuffer();
textArea.setSelectedText(sNewLine+"\n");
textArea.goToNextLine(false);
editPane.nextBuffer();

The pitty is, that I have to ensure that the order in the buffer selector is correct. That is a little bit unconvienient. Does anyone know if there is an opportunity to select the right buffer by its path or filename?

Anything like: editPane.selectBuffer(string filename/path);

I went through the whole helpfile and online wiki, but didn't found anything how I can manage that task. I also tried to record a macro but the file selection was not recorded.

Thank you for your response.

Best wishes, Andre

I noticed you have a "chatbox" on the community website. Everytime I use it no one is ever on. My suggestion is to create a chatbox plugin to put into jEdit. I believe this will allow others to obtain help quickly from experienced jEdit users.

If anyone is like me and keeps their jEdit App open at all times (for me at work) then this could prove useful when trying to obtain help quickly.

Hi,

I've got a strange problem. I've been using jEdit for a couple of weeks and have been really getting used to it. But last night I went to fire it up but it wouldn't run. So to cut a long story short, I've uninstalled and re-installed jEdit and the Java runtime. I've checked on whether the Java runtime was broken by giving Eclipse a run, no problem there (with no Java installed, Eclipse gave an error message, when re-installed, it ran OK). So I think I've ruled out the Java runtime as the source of the problem (but I may be wrong).

I want to get jEdit running again as it is a very good editor, so any help would be most welcome.
