I am looking for a text editor that will be able to load a 4+ Gigabyte file into it. Textpad doesn't work. I own a copy of it and have been to its support site, it just doesn't do it. Maybe I need new hardware, but that's a different question. The editor needs to be free OR, if its going to cost me, then no more than $30. For Windo...
I need to implement auto-capitalization inside of a Telerik RadEditor control on an ASPX page as a user types. This can be an IE specific solution (IE6+). I currently capture every keystroke (down/up) as the user types to support a separate feature called "macros" that are essentially short keywords that expand into formatted text. i....
Hello, this may be n00by, but, I have this simple question: I have a RichTextBox control on my form. I also have this button, labeled Bold, that I want, if someone selects text in the RichTextBox, then presses the button, the selected text turns bold. Any way to do that? Simple, everyday task for end users. Thanks. ...
Seriously. On a 22" monitor, it only covers maybe a quarter of the screen. I need some ammo to axe down this rule. Edit: I'm not saying that there shouldn't be a limit; I'm just saying, 80 characters is very small. ...
Anyone know how to turn off code folding in visual studio 2008? Some of my colleagues love it, but I personally always want to see all the code, and never want code folded out of sight. I'd like a setting that means my copy of Visual Studio never folds #regionsor function bodies. ...
Is anyone aware of any text editors with Visual Studio editor functionality? Specifically, I'm looking for the following features: CTRL+C anywhere on the line, no text selected -> the whole line is copied CTRL+X or SHIFT+DEL anywhere on the line, no text selected -> the whole line cut Thanks! ...
I want to see a video of somebody using Emacs really, really well. Not an instructional video, just something that shows off its raw power. I want to be dazzled. The inspiration for this question is the following quote: "You have to be way smart to use [Emacs] well, and it makes you incredibly powerful if you can master it. G...
My Situation: I love e editor, however I'm on a new computer and my license is being used on my old one. I can't exactly afford another license, so I'm looking for a free editor that meets the follow criteria: Decent syntax highlighting Ability to view a directory and its contents on the side panel, without the need to create it as a '...
I want to be able to run a text editor from my app, as given by the user in the TEXT_EDITOR environment variable. Now, assuming there is nothing in that variable, I want to default to the TextEdit program that ships with OSX. Is it kosher to hardcode /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit into my app, or is there a better w...
I've switched computers a few times recently, and somewhere along the way I lost my .emacs. I'm trying to build it up again, but while I'm at it, I thought I'd pick up other good configurations that other people use. So, if you use Emacs, what's in your .emacs? Mine is pretty barren right now, containing only: Global font-lock-mode!...
In Eclipse 3.3.2, I would like to replace a character (say ',') by a new line in a file. What should I write in the "Replace with" box in order to do so ? EDIT : Many answers seems to be for Eclipse 3.4. Is there a solution for Eclipse 3.3.X ? ...
I mean 100+ MB big; such text files can push the envelope of editors. I need to look through a large XML file, but cannot if the editor is buggy. Any suggestions? ...
So I just got my new Eee PC 1000H and it's obviously not a beast of a machine, but it gets the job done with most tasks. I'm looking for a lightweight IDE or text editor (read: lightweight doesn't mean lack of features, just that it's not a bloated piece of crap) The computer itself has a 1.6ghz Atom processor and 1GB of RAM. It's for sc...
I'm fairly new at programming, but I've wondered how shell text editors such as vim, emacs, nano, etc are able to control the command-line window. I'm primarily a Windows programmer, so maybe it's different on *nix. As far as I know, it's only possible to print text to a console, and ask for input. How do text editors create a navigab...
Is there an open source alternative (similar to ultraedit) to handle files with filesize >200 MBytes? ...
It needs to be graphical. No sed, awk, grep, perl, whatever. I know how to use those and I do use them now, but I need to cherry-pick each replace in 300+ files. I want a tool where I can: type a search string type a replace string select a directory and file extension and it would recursively go into each file in that directory and...
I'd like to use Rich Text Editing in place on forms in order to let admins change instructions. What are the best options for doing this? [To be more clear - the admins are non-technical but may want to control some formatting without using markup or with as little markup as possible. What I'd like is for them to be able to edit inli...
I swear this was asked, but I searched, I didn't see anything. Perhaps I missed it, but if not, I'm asking here. Anyway, I'm looking for a good programmer's editor for Windows. I know about vim and emacs, but they aren't really what I'm looking for. My main focus right now is on jEdit, Notepad2, Notepad++, and Programmer's Notepad. But ...
I've seen several responses to questions asking for IDEs where text editors were suggested and vice-versa. That makes me think that people treat them as the same thing, where I draw clear distinctions. How do you define "text editor" and "IDE"? Do you see a difference between the two tools? Note that I accepted an answer which I thin...
I use emacs for viewing and editing code and other text files. I wanted to know if there is a way to search forward or backward for text which is marked in the current buffer. Similar to what I can do in notepad or wordpad. As in can I mark some text in the buffer and do a C-s or C-r and be able to search with the marked text without act...
