Agreed--I couldn’t do without
TextPad. Two other features I find indispensable
are its bracket-matching and Compare Files. Bob -----Original
Message----- One of the features I use in Textpad to locate some code is the
"Find in Files": If I'm
looking for a piece of code I can usually remember a small snippet and using
the above I type that in and then specifiy a folder to search in. Textpad will
then examine each file and look for that exact snippet and then list the line
in each file that contains the snippet. Once finished listing I can then
double click that line and it will load the entire file into another window and
postion the code to the line in question. As my memory fades into the
sunset I find myself using it more frequently. d From:
[email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Landry Hello Herman - Several of us in
the Houston community use Textpad editor (we got into this mode in using
another product, - TRADE with FastTrack) to open/close multiple files. It
has a nice feature that it displays the opened files tree,
with text shading to indicate what's been changed, saved etc. For example if I want to open
multiple files I can select these 10 files as I would in
Windows mode by holding the shift key while selecting. All
files are opened with the first one in display. It's now easy to
toggle from one window to the other to bring the focus to the file I want
displayed. It has what I'll call syntax color coding that can be
customized. It has a full function Search - find, find in files,
find and replace, find next, find previous etc. When the forum was kicking around ideas
about the editor I suggested that Tomasz add this kind of function for
the AB editor. Of course it would be preferable to have that function
in AB, because what I miss sorely by using TextPad is
the precompiler and syntax checker. Tomasz did
enhance the AB editors search/replace function and as he pointed out you can
open multiple instances of the editor and float them around the screen if you
have enough real estate. I think the problem of finding the correct
file by sorting out the names/version in each opened editor window is one of
the challenges. Maybe having a tab strip showing opened file (something
available in TextPad also. Oh and I forgot to mention the ability to
turn on/off line numbering Bottom line - I'd like to have most of the
features of Textpad but not at the expense of delaying other AB features, like
enhancements to the portfolio program. We should put this in the suggestion area
as a help to Tomasz Best regards JOE ----- Original Message -----

Preview for afl file-window Hello, Would
anyone know how to add a preview window to the file-window for the afl
formula editor? This
relates recent edits. During development I writes lots of small
pieces of code to test various ideas and I save many for later
reference. The
problem is that even though I try to give them meaningful names I
have a very difficult time to find and retrieve code fragments that I know I
wrote but for which I don't know in which file they resides. This means i
have to open up 10-20 recent files to find a particular piece of code I
need. If i could see a preview of the file when I select it in the File menu I
would be able to see immediately whether i have the right file or not without
actually having to open/close the file each time. This is
not a problem for historical work as I collect all code in InfoSelect, however
i only do that about once a week. Any
ideas would be appreciated! herman Please note that this group is for discussion between users only. To get support from AmiBroker please send an e-mail directly to SUPPORT {at} amibroker.com For other support material please check also: http://www.amibroker.com/support.html
