I use SciTE mostly for PHP development and I was looking for a method to see the generated html code of a php file I'm editing. I run a local webserver (Apache). I want to run this via the "Go" command (F5). My approach is to give the full path of the file to a batch file (html.bat) that
1) substitute backslash "\" with slash "/" 2) substitute the webroot directory with "http://localhost"; 3) use the resulting url with lynx to retreive the html source So a file d:\www\subdir\index.php will be translated to the url http://localhost/subdir/index.php (d:\www\ is my webroot) # SciTeUser.properties command.go.$(file.patterns.php)=html.bat $(FilePath) My first attempt of html.bat put the generated html in the output pane: @echo off echo %1 | sed -e s/\\/\//g | sed -e s/d:\/www\//http:\/\/localhost\//i | lynx -source - Then I realize that the syntiax hilight of SciTE can help me to spot some errors, so the second version of html.bat put the code in a temp file and open it in scite: @echo off echo %1 | sed -e s/\\/\//g | sed -e s/d:\/www\//http:\/\/localhost\//i | lynx -source - > d:\temp\tmp.html C:\Programmi\scite\SciTE.exe d:\temp\tmp.html I find this solution very useful to me and I want to share. Suggestion to improve this method (htmltidy?) are welcome. Note: I work on Windows 2000 and I have installed sed (and other useful apps) from unxutils http://unxutils.sourceforge.net and lynx textual browser http://lynx.browser.org. If you are on *nix system you already must have both. -- Scaracco _______________________________________________ Scite-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scite-interest
