Windows jEdit launcher for Ant (bare name launcher)
Submitted by ajcacho on Sunday, 26 August, 2007 - 17:57
Hi
Here’s my two cents contribution (ok, I’m overrating this):
For invoking jEdit from Ant, irrespective of platform (i.e. not using OS specific code in Ant), it would be nice to invoke jEdit as a bare name, without extension.
Doing so it would try to launch jedit.exe in Windows and the jedit script in other OS (linux/bsd/...). But there's none in the 4.3 build.
For such purpose the Windows exe launcher of jEdit4.1 can be reused.
Here’s the procedure, step by step:
1. First be sure to have jEdit4.1 for Windows installed in the exact location intended for jEdit4.3 (if using other releases, better be sure to uninstall them first);
2. Copy to a backup directory apart the files with extensions exe, dll and .reg.txt, which where placed by the jEdit4.1 installer in the main jEdit directory;
3. Uninstall jEdit4.1;
4. Install jEdit4.3 to the previous location;
5. Copy the files from the backup directory (exe dll ...) to the main jEdit directory - notice that those files don’t have names clashing with the names used for the jEdit4.3 installation;
6. Test running the exe launcher from the command-line, and if necessary answer appropriately their initial questions by browsing to the java bin directory and so on.
I find it very useful to script in ant the editing of very large file sets. Alternatively jEdit can preserve specific work file sets.
Cheers,
Antonio
Paste_Around (Paste_Around.bsh v0.2 by Gael Ecorchard (galou))
Submitted by galou on Tuesday, 28 August, 2007 - 12:57
Paste the content of register 'a' before the selection (prefix) and the content of register 'e' after the selection (suffix) Usage: - select the prefix part and paste it into register 'a' (C-r C-c a) - select the suffix part and paste it into register 'e' (C-r C-c e) - select something and use the macro. Works also with empty selection. Does not work yet with multiple selections and rectangular ones (error message) Best used with a shortcut like CS-v
New view and accented vowels
Submitted by danlugli on Wednesday, 29 August, 2007 - 13:50
Hi, I am working with jedit 4.3pre10 using java 1.5.0_12.

1) I launch jedit and open a cpp source (the command 'file' returns 'ASCII C program text').

2) I ask for a new view of the same file.

3) In the first view, I modify a comment adding a word with an accented vowel, eg 'però' (Italian keyboard).

4) The result: I get 'per' in the right place, and the accented vowel 'ò' in a random place (sometimes at the beginning of the same line, sometimes some lines down).

Ever seen that? Any solution?
Macro to insert comment token and indent (XEnter.bsh) (XEnter.bsh v0.1 by Gael Ecorchard (galou))
Submitted by galou on Thursday, 30 August, 2007 - 12:51
insert new line, then behaves either as normal insert enter and indent, if the line is a normal code line or insert the line comment token and indent the line if the current line is a comment Usage: - use the macro at the end of a comment line Best used with a shortcut like S-Enter
OS X and the Alt key
Submitted by denserMan on Friday, 31 August, 2007 - 05:49
In the Find dialog I enter my search terms and then press Alt + L to search all buffers and while the appropriate radio button becomes selected, a symbol appears at the end of my search terms, thereby making me have to delete it before performing the search.

I tried this with both 4.3pre10 and 4.2 final.

What is the problem?

TIA

selecting text from current position till a pattern to search
Submitted by rsc on Monday, 3 September, 2007 - 11:35
I often have the task to select or delete a text (more than one line) from the actual position till a pattern to search for. If you know UEDIT there you can press "shift" and initiate the search. All the text from the current position including the string found will be marked.

I accomplished this by recording a macro and manipulating the Java code afterwards. However, if you are recording a quick macro this is much too intricate.

What did I miss?

Thanks for your help, Rolf.
autoindent and matlab
Submitted by skvalen on Monday, 3 September, 2007 - 14:29
hi, I have fiddled with the autoindent in matlab mode, and i come up with this:

< PROPERTY NAME="indentNextLines" VALUE="^\s*(if|for|function|switch|try|while)([\t ]*\(|[\t ]+|$).*(?!end)$" />
< PROPERTY NAME="indentNextLine" VALUE=".*?\.{3}.*" />
< PROPERTY NAME="unindentThisLine" VALUE="^\s*(end|else|elseif([\t ]*\(|[\t ]+).*|case|otherwise|catch)[\t ]*(%.*)?$" />
< PROPERTY NAME="unindentNextLines" VALUE="^\s*end\s*(%.*)?$" />

that gives something like this:
if foo
    bar
    end
    foobar

and that is wrong, but if I mark it and press 'indent-lines' (c+i) I get:

if foo
    bar
end
foobar

which is correct.

Anny idea who this can be correct on the fly?
Perl regexp spanning multiple lines
Submitted by imgod2u on Tuesday, 4 September, 2007 - 19:00
I'm not sure if this has been covered before and/or is a current feature or plugin (searched but couldn't find anything) but it'd be nice if syntax highlighting (for perl) were able to recognize the use of the /x operator that allows a regexp in perl to ignore whitespace (and thereby, spanning multiple lines without having the regexp look for a newline). Or even just have syntax highlighting recognize regexps that span multiple lines. It's a pet peeve but I figure if it's going to be doing syntax highlighting, it might as well cover all of the features of the language.
SyntaxHelper (SyntaxHelperPlugin.jar v0.1 by Shlomy Reinstein)
Submitted by shlomy on Friday, 7 September, 2007 - 02:52
The SyntaxHelper plugin maks it easier to configure the syntax highlighting styles in jEdit by providing the syntax highlighting option pane in a dockable, with the following features: 1. Immediate feedback in the buffer when a style is changed 2. Ability to cancel changes to styles 3. Tracking the caret and marking the style used for the token under the caret.

Note: This plugin works only with the development (SVN trunk) version of jEdit. It won't work with jEdit 4.3pre10.

10 Sep: Updated with a few bug fixes.

colorizing text
Submitted by sinebubble on Friday, 7 September, 2007 - 18:03
I'm working with a fairly large shell script with lots of if statements. I'm trying to find some way of colorizing blocks of text to show my closed if statements, but I'm not having any success. Couldn't find a plugin to do the work, either. Any advice?
Installer won't start
Submitted by Riker on Friday, 7 September, 2007 - 22:20

jedit as default editor -- unexpected behavior
Submitted by dheitzmann on Saturday, 8 September, 2007 - 19:06
I've used JEdit for years, successfully. Under Windows 2k. About a year ago, my machine suddenly started opening JEdit whenever I tried to open a PDF file (directly from Windows explorer, or from IE)... I've done the obvious thing of setting the preferred application for .pdf files to acrobat reader, and Windows says that is the current setting -- yet, JEdit still gets opened if I double-click on a PDF file. The only way to successfully open a PDF file is to use "Open With...", which works, but is annoying. To my knowledge, this isn't happening with any other file type. I've tried re-installing Acrobat Reader, to no avail. The only thing that had changed on my machine around the time this started was the routine installation of Windows automatic maintence... A search of Microsoft's support site doesn't lead me to any clues.

Does anyone know where there might be some setting in Windows that is causing this behavior? Again, I've already tried setting the "registered file types" list in Windows Explorer, and this has not solved the problem. I don't think this is necessarily a JEdit issue, directly, but it doesn't seem to happen with any other file extension or application. Help, anyone???

JavaStyle plugin and Generics
Submitted by pprodano on Sunday, 9 September, 2007 - 19:25
Hello everyone, I have been using the JavaStyle plugin for a couple of years, and I love it. However, ever since I learned how to use Java's Generics framework (I believe introduced in version 1.5 of Java), the JavaStyle plugin stoped working for me. It complains that it doesn't recognize the angle brackets syntax, like: // an ArrayList used to store the data points ArrayList data = new ArrayList(0); Does anyone have a workaround for this? Are there other plugins that could do the same thing, and yet still be able to handle Generics? Thanks, P
disappearing Find dialog
Submitted by jurrie on Monday, 10 September, 2007 - 00:32
I am no longer able to see jEdit's Find dialog. The functionality is still there (Ctrl-f, enter text, press Enter -> jEdit searches the current buffer for the specified string) but the dialong is not visible.

The problem started while I was using 4.3pre9. I installed 4.3pre10 over the existing installation but the problem remains. I'm using jEdit on Windows XP SP2.

How can I get the Find dialog to appear once again?
I'm hoping to avoid an uninstall + re-install to another directory if possible.
Help! Poker playing jEdit noob needs urgent .txt file help
Submitted by ddess on Monday, 10 September, 2007 - 12:11
Hello All

I am a poker player. I use various tools to analyse my play. One of these tools relies on the importing of .txt files. However, the pokersite I use has recently changed the formatting of their so called Hand History .txt files and I can no longer import them into my hand analyses software. The chags to the .txt files are easy to see but finding a tool to make these changes in bulk correctly is proving somewhat of a challenge. A single poker hand looks like the one shown below and a session is a series of hands all stored in a single .txt file.

My ability to execute this is essential and I would be delighted to hear from anyone who could help set me on the right road. I'm sure with the right knowledge this will be fairly simple. Below are a couple of examples of the formatting changes that I need to make

I look forward to hearing from anybody who feels they can help.

1. First Line

Instead of - TEXAS_HOLDEM, , 309556744
I need it to read - Texas Hold'em $1-$2 NL (Real Money), #309556744

Where the '$1-$2' is information collected from the line beneath ANTES/BLINDS

2. 'FLOP' & 'TURN' Line

In this particular hand the information contained in the [ ] after the words FLOP and TURN is identical. I need to be able to identify this and where it is identical overwrite the TURN line with the text SHOWDOWN so :-

FLOP [board cards: 7H,5H,2D ]
Haemaelii bets $12, MaccaDrum folds.

TURN [board cards: 7H,5H,2D ]
Haemaelii wins $30.05.

becomes

FLOP [board cards: 7H,5H,2D ]
Haemaelii bets $12, MaccaDrum folds.

SHOWDOWN
Haemaelii wins $30.05.
