![]() ![]() On the other hand, I have another stats program called STATA for which I have written a NoteTab macro library that will do much the same thing so the possibilities are there. I was using it for SAS programming and was able to edit and run program and intercept the output. For those who have the key-combo thing down pat, though, it is amazing the productivity that is possible. I've used Emacs on a *nix system but have always had a hard time remembering multiple key combinations. Please install it before using this command. ^!Prompt The Windows FTP.exe program was not found on your computer. ^!StatusShow Please Wait, Uploading ^%Upload%. ^!IfFileExist "^%Command%" Next ELSE NoFTP ^!AppendToFile "^%Script%" open "www/health/policywatch"^%NL%binary^%NL%put ^%Upload%^%NL%disconnect^%NL%bye^%NL% ^!Set %Upload%=^$GetFileName(^$GetDocName$)$ ^!Set %Script%=^$GetShort(^$GetTempFile$)$ This is especially useful for automated operations since one click can generate the code, FTP it, and then tell you whether the job was successful or not. If you can script it, then NoteTab can run it. In addition, I have scripts that can upload entire directories and such. For example, the following code will FTP the file that has current focus. NoteTab, my favorite, does not have built in FTP but can run shell scripts. If you need programmability - there are a precious few that can compare.įruitcake wrote: Do any of these boast ftp uploads? This doesn't even scratch the surface of what this amazing program can do - it is certainly worth a look for anyone who wants a serious text editor. as well - sending standard input and receiving standard output. It also has OS hooks that allow it to run and control other programs - links to HTMLTidy are built in, but you can link to PERL, FTP, browsers etc. Interface showing a clip library and multiple tabbed open files These programs can create dialogue boxes with all the common edit controls, from simple text boxes to combo boxes, to complex multi-picklists. Each line in the Library can be doubleclicked to run the program associated with it. Here is a screenshot with a Clip Library open on the left. There is an active user community on Yahoo Groups that exchanges programming tips and helps debug problem scripts. I use it to handle a links database that reads links from a comma-separated-value (CSV) database file and then wraps the different fields in HTML while "including" other text files of common page information. However, the author added functions allowing variables and conditional logic, extensive string handling functions, etc., so that the editor is now capable of fairly complex and extensible programmatic text handling, including a wide range of HTML handling functions. It started out being able to save blocks of text "clips" that could be kept in clip libraries and pasted into documents (boilerplate text). Most impressive, though, is that the editor is programmable. ![]() The Standard and Pro versions will also do normal and regular expression search and replace on disk. My vote would go to NoteTab a programmable text editor that comes in three flavours: a Free version that lacks only dictionary and a seldom-used advanced programming command, a 9.95US$ Standard version, and a 19.95US$ Pro version that adds syntax highlighting and offers a number of speed enhancements. I forgot to mention - it's only a 540kb standalone. It is for those of us who want a simple text editor for creating web pages, with no fussy previews or WYSIWYG. ![]() I like NP2 as it functions like NotePad, but with the added option of syntax highlighting. Support for Unicode, UTF-8, Unix and Mac text files.Brace matching, auto indent, long line marker, zoom functions.Useful word, line and block editing shortcuts.Basic regular expression search and replace.Drag & drop text editing inside and outside Notepad2.C/C++, C#, Java, VB, Pascal, Assembler, SQL, Python, NSIS HTML, XML, CSS, JavaScript, VBScript, ASP, PHP, CSS, Perl/CGI Imagine Notepad, if it was designed for programmers. It is exactly as the tagline says - Yet another Notepad replacement. NotePad2 is, in my opinion, the best text editor available. ![]()
