Re: What editor do you use? 2008
wow, how was KomodoEdit left out of the poll? I use it on my mac and linux boxes at work, and at home i use it on linux and my windows box
great editor-- I use it for perl, php, python, javascript, and pretty much anything else I'm going to program, with the exception of .NET stuff, that is.
Re: What editor do you use? 2008
i started to use e-Text Editor. Textmate Clone for Windows.

I'm almost to the end of my trial. I'm very sure I will purchase this.

Yeah, e is a pretty hot editor too. I used that for the duration of the trial. I am just rather opposed to buying an editor when there are so many free ones out there.
Re: What editor do you use? 2008
My company will be paying for it i'm sure. Its got a few bugs in it, but i can live with it for now. Also, miss the find and replace on a directory. It apparently has it, but its not very intuitive, and i gave up trying to make it work. I just fire up dreamweaver when i need to do a search and replace.... not that often.Everah wrote:Yeah, e is a pretty hot editor too. I used that for the duration of the trial.

Re: What editor do you use? 2008

I\m using JEdit (freeware) at the moment and it's pretty good, but was very happy with Homesite also.

Re: What editor do you use? 2008
I've used Crimson Editor for ages, but since switching to a Vista machine I can't get syntax highlighting to work at all. They have no user support of any sort that I can find, so now I'm browsing for another editor. I haven't seen anything here that makes me want to try it. Everything sounds like bloated, heavyweight crap. I just want nice neat sans serif monospaced text, syntax highlighting, a dozen or so macros, and spaces replacing tabs.

Re: What editor do you use? 2008
Update: Apparently this is going to be more complicated than I thought. I had decided Notepad++ was probably my best choice, but when I go to its down load page I get this,
So for now, I guess I'm using Crimson without syntax highlighting. Sigh.
Followed with a list of files none of which have names or comments relating to computer types or operating systems that I've ever heard of. Not that I'm all that expert, but what type or os does "np.0.4.zip" refer to?Please choose the file that best matches your architecture or operating system from the list of releases and files contained in this package.

I would recommend you check out Geany at http://geany.org/
Everyone (Windows User) that I have given it to has been very happy, and it at least covers all the basics.

Just for your convenience, here's a direct link: http://download.geany.org/geany-0.15_setup.exe

Re: What editor do you use? 2008
Since notepad++ is windows-only application, it's for windows. Since there's no x64 version, it's for x86 (32 bit, but should run ok even if you have 64-bit Vista). npp stands for Notepad Plus Plus. I bet the file with '.Installer.exe' suffix is what you need.Bill H wrote: Followed with a list of files none of which have names or comments relating to computer types or operating systems that I've ever heard of.

Re: What editor do you use? 2008
I gave my vote for Notepad++, it's really fast and saves last open files session.

Re: What editor do you use? 2008
Thanks Wierdan. I just followed that advisory and it installed the program. Seems like a nifty application at first review. I think I like Crimson Edit a little better, maybe, but NP++ is fine. Thanks to everyone that provided input.
Re: What editor do you use? 2008
I use TextWrangler. One especially useful feature is the regex search/replace option.
Re: What editor do you use? 2008
Syntac, doesn't almost every editor have regex? Even KWrite, the basic text editor for KDE has regex!
