I want to take a text file which is a program source, and insert a print statement after each line, for example if line 1 is:

x=5

then insert
print "line 1: x=5"

so that when a program crashes hard (as in, the system reboots before I can see what happened) at least I can see the last line that executed.

Is there some kind of macro or plugin that I can use to do things like that?

Thanks.

I try to use jedit to make recursive text search in all files in a directory.

When I perform a search, jedit complains about cp1252 encoding not applicable on pdf files. Yes, I'm on windows xp...

The file could not be loaded correctly (some data might be lost) with
the encoding "Cp1252".
(java.nio.charset.UnmappableCharacterException: Input length = 1)
Try selecting a different encoding.
It can be selected with the menu File->Reload with Encoding.
If you want it to be done automatically, add the candidates into
"List of fallback encodings" in Encodings pane of Global Options.


I don't understand why jedit tries to search in pdf files as pdf files are binary files. Does it try to extract text from pdf files and then apply an encoding to find text?

It seems that jedit can skip binary files, it seems to be an interesting feature, but I don't know how jedit considers files as binary. If I uncheck "skip binary files", the same exception pops out but for bin files, obj files, etc. I've been looking at the documentation, but cannot find anything about binary files association. I think this behavior is expected, but not very user friendly.

Is it possible to use jedit to search in all binary files as well?

Does it just try to decode the file using its default encoding (cp1252, I'm on windows xp) and considers the file as binary if it fails? (I guess it's not that simple)


thanks,

Is there a way to disable the FTP/SFTP welcome message dialog that pops out when connecting to a VFS using the FTP plugin? The problem is that every time a remote buffer is saved (Ctrl+S), the same nagging welcome message from the server appears.

Sorry, this feels like a stupid question, but can't find an obvious answer anywhere.

I've recently moved from Windows to Mac and brought jEdit with me, and been confused about why the 'go to recent buffer' key wasn't working (command-`). Eventually discovered it was because OS X already uses that binding for 'show-next-application-window'.

Is there any standard set of OS X keybindings for jEdit that avoid these kinds of conflicts, or do I need to roll my own? Seems like something lots of OS X users would run into?

Thanks.

How do you activate the thin column that is on the right of the editing space, next to the scroll bar, that will indicate all other occurrences of the selected word? I find that invaluable.

I stumbled upon it by accident before, but my settings folder got erased and I have to start over. I don't know what it's called, or if it is a plug-in or what.

Hello, I am new in using Jedit, and for some reason my Jedit doesn't like any foreign fonts-more specifically french accents, and greek. They are not displayed as they should be. Can anyone guide me on how to fix this? thanks!

Hey all,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, so I will open up a discussion here to point it out.

It seems that if you change the buffer option, specifically, syntax highlighting and then an external program (like say svn or git) changes the physical file on the file system, jedit will ask you if you want to reload the file. When you do, the highlighting reverts back to whatever the global settings are. Shouldn't it preserve what the buffer settings are if they are meant to override the global?

To reproduce this.

1) open a file type that uses a specific syntax highlighting (like C++ or PHP)
2) change the buffer options to use a different highlighting (Java or Perl)
3) change the file outside of Jedit
4) Bring Jedit back into focus and either agree to have it reload the file (I have it set to prompt) or watch it reload (if you set it up to do so automatically [haven't tried this]) and you should see the highlighting revert back to the global options.


Thoughts?

Hi,
I'm trying to create an edit mode to do syntax highlighting and auto indenting for an obscure language, but I'm having trouble defining the correct XML to achieve what I want.
I would like all lines following the word Begin to be indented until the next occurrence of the word Begin. Each word Begin should be at the same indent level.

i.e.
Begin
Indent this line
Indent this line
Begin
Indent this line
Indent this line

Hi! Is there Beauty Plugin manual? I can't configure it to work properly.

Where can I find a syntax highlighter for C#?

Hello,

The question is in the title...

Thanks in advance.

Is there a plugin that would let me highlight a string and urldecode it or vice versa?

Thanks.

I wanted to create a custom button to launch this dialog, but there is no action entry in the tool bar or menu editors. I compared the actions.xml of this and the seesions's plugins as they both launch dialog boxes, but I wasn't able to figure anything out.

Is this by design?

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to change manually syntax highlighting to get immediate syntax colouring changes (no reload , no restart).
(This behaviour has notepad++, kate, gedit and many other editors.).
Does exist any plugin/s ?
How to do it ?
For instance it would be useful if I have mix of different programming languages in one file or if I need to quickly change syntax highlighting.

Thank you for any kind of help.
Regards,
Martin

Hi all,

I have been using jEdit for quite some years. There is a feature I need but I don't know how to enable it.

I'm a PHP developer. There are many HTML jobs involved in my code. I want to see the closing tag when my cursor is on the open one (and the other way round). I found that jEdit can do that sometimes. But after some time, the feature seems to be gone. I couldn't figure out how to keep that feature in place.

Can anybody tell me how? What modules should I install? What modules should I NOT install? Do I need to do any configuration?

I have changed the white text background to black, and the text colour to green.

-I notice that round braces ()
and curled braced {}
don't show up visually at all. How May I change this?

-Is there a compile button and or a run button inside jEdit?

Long time user of Jedit, but only used to the things I do on a regular basis.

It dawned on me today that there might be a macro or plugin for the following, but I am not really sure what it would be called.

Situation:
There is a line of code with a function including 2 or more variables.
eg. foo(A, B, C)

By selecting "A, B, C", is there a way to suffle their order left or right?
The result would be foo(B, C, A) after using the command once.

I ask because to do this using copy/paste normally requires 2 copy/paste operations.
1. Select and copy "A, "
2. Pasting at the end of the statement gives foo(B, CA, )
3. Select and copy ", " and paste it between CA

Shuffling would either be to the left or right, moving the first or last element to the opposite end of the selection. Returning the with all the items still selected would be useful for multiple iterations.

A shuffle tool that was space and comma sensitive would reduce these edits to a single operation. Perhaps there could be a setting to tell the command what characters represent variable separators (comma, space, math operators, colons, etc)

Having this work for collumn selections would be useful too.

Maybe I'm a lazy coder

I'm using jEdit mainly to edit Perl and Ruby programs.

Is it possible to configure jedit, so that it invokes, say, Perl -c when saving a file, and have it display the errors? I first thought that the ErrorList plugin would do the job, but it doesn't. I guess I need some "supporting" Plugin which "knows" about Perl. I have already installed PerlSideKick, btw.

New to Jedit - liking it so far. When I hit ctrl + f to find something, it only highlights the first matched result. How do I set it to highlight all the matches on the script?

thanks

Hi,
I ask the possibility to reactivate I-O Monitor, inexplicably disappeared in the r. 4.5.pre 1; according to my opinion it worked better of the Task Monitor and in more precise way.

Tanks.

Excused for my poor english.
