UltraEdit like app?
Hi everyone, Well, if you've been following me for the last year since I joined this list (or nearly three years, if you are on the KDE-General list), you know that I've always been saying I'm going to switch to Linux on my desktop "real soon." Well, if you look at the header of my message, you'll see that I'm sending this message under Linux - I've finally switched!!! <g> The problem with switching, though, is it's made me realize just how much I'm going to miss some of my Windows apps. There is one in particular though, that has been indespensable. This application, UltraEdit32, is a great text editor that I use for my web page and PERL projects. I was wondering if anyone here knew of a similar tool. Here is what it does: - Syntax highlighting for multiple languages (including HTML, PERL, C/C++, and more). I really only need HTML and Perl editing. - The ability to add commands that can be performed on a file. For instance, I have it setup to run ActivePerl (Perl32) on what ever PERL script is open at a particular time, when ever I press CTRL-ALT-1 or click the menu item for a my custom job. It then takes the output, and docks it in a little box at the bottom off the tool (much like an IDE would). - Project Files. UE32 lets you, once again like in an IDE, save a grouping of files as a project for easy access. It then opens them all in it's tabbed interface when you open a project. It also has a dockable bar that lists all of the project or open files. - Sub function lists. UE32 will also "read" the PERL files you open and list all of the sub functions in a dockable box. - Spell Checker As you can see this is a very nice program, is there anything like it for Linux? I may try to run this in WINE again, but the last time I tried, the scroll bars only displayed after I used the arrow keys to navigate one page down.

Hi Tim, If you want to pay for a decent editor check out crisp. http://www.crisp.com Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------- On 08-Mar-2001 Timothy R.Butler wrote:

Tim,
I had the same type of situation vis-a-vis TextPad. Very nice little app. I played around with Nedit for a while, I is not quite as powerful as what I wanted. There is, of course, only one true editor. It's hard to learn, but it does it all. That of course is XEmacs. RMS just blew a fuse {:-D> XEmacs has very good support for Perl. It's not *quite* as good as the c/c++ support, but its quite nice. If you can imagine it, you can do it with XEmacs. You just need to learn the occult key bindings. Steve
check "quanta" at freshmeat.net or sourceforge.net -Stathis. "Timothy R.Butler" wrote:

anyone here knew of a similar tool. Here is what it does:
- Syntax highlighting for multiple languages (including HTML, PERL, C/C++, and more). I really only need HTML and Perl editing.
XEmacs.
- The ability to add commands that can be performed on a file.

XEmacs, you'll need to write an extention.
- Project Files. UE32 lets you, once again like in an IDE, save a grouping of files as a project for easy access. It then opens them all in it's tabbed interface when you open a project. It also has a dockable bar that lists all of the project or open files.

XEmacs. XEmacs is fully programable. It's a web browser, email client, games host and, on occasion, an editor too. Whatever you want, it will do it if you try hard enough. It's not such an easy thing to learn to use though.
Hi Everyone, Thanks for all of your replies about tool suggestions! CRISP looks the most like my existing tool, although it's licensing fee is a bit steep. For now, I think I will settle with Quanta, which looks remarkably similar to UltraEdit also (abeit it isn't quite as good as UltraEdit). I did have some success with getting UltraEdit to work under Corel's WINE that is included with PP9 (I have it starting up with the little WINE Progress bar, and the whole works by creating a modified copy of the /usr/bin/photopaint script). This works well enough too, although it looses the ability to run PERL from the menu, and a few more minor features. I have played around with XEmacs a bit, and it certainly a good program, although I really liked the fact that UEdit (much like Quanta) worked just like an IDE such as KDevelop or MS Visual Studio - only it worked with HTML and PERL files. UEdit's interface allowed for rapid development, since it had a intuitive MDI-based (Multiple Document Interface) interface. Once again, thank-you very much for all of your suggestions - they are most appreciated! -Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
