Re: How to look for balanced parenthesis?
As of Ultraedit version 12, it's not quite transparent, but it's pretty close. If you Open a file from FTP (File menu option), and hit save, it will automatically upload the file to the server. It's a little slow on the save (as in hit save and count to 10), but it does the job well. Ultraedit seems to do a good job of keeping this functionality far enough away from you to be easily accessible. It's on an FTP submenu of the File menu, and there are no toolbar buttons for Open From and Save As to FTP by default. You have to add them manually. The server setup is a bit clunky, but once you've added your account info, you never have to do it again. I have to say the cleanest implementation of this I've seen is in KDevelop (KDE Application, Linux based but open source). You just type in a URL in the file open dialog, and it attempts to log into the server. If anonymous authentication fails, it prompts you for a username and password, which you can optionally save in another app called KWallet. All of it happens inline, and it's very intuitive. Unfortunately, I haven't had the heart to try to compile it under Cygwin. :) On 7/11/06, Miles Thompson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: At 12:36 AM 7/11/2006, you wrote: UE still lives on my machine, but it's no longer my "daily editor" but it is invaluable if I have to look at a binary file.

My old version of UE, could not do this, and I really didn't care, except that the "editor question" reared its head again on the PHP list. Keep in mind this was probably close to four years ago. The capability of EditPlus to edit remote files was promoted as one of the things it could do - at the time I was working on a project for a client for which there was no SSH access - so I downloaded it and began using it occasionally ... and the use became more and more frequent.

What I would really like would be EditPlus / UltraEdit simplicity and speed, with the capability to interactively provide function names and their parameters.

I cannot give a list of editors that will do it,
but I know that "vim" ("vi improved") does it.
It will also do syntax highlighting, but I do not know whether it knows
about SQL already or would need an additional SQL syntax description.
In vim, you can find matching parenthesis, with the "%" shorcut. Put
the cursor on one parenthesis, hit %, hop you jump to the
corresponding opening/closing parenthesis. (definitely a must-have for
certain language).

I really don't know if Eclipse can edit files on a server. My workspace is on my local PC so I've never tried editing a file on a server. I can certainly see that it would be convenient to be able to edit a file on a server without having to manually transfer the file back and forth! But Eclipse is pretty smart so I'd be a little surprised if they forced you to transfer the file manually. -- Rhino -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

"vim" is available freely (both "free of charge" and "free open source")
for Unix + Windows from here:
http://www.vim.org/
It has several other nice features which will need some time to really
use them, like "folding" (hiding inner structure elements from display),
and it includes "vimdiff" (a tool to compare two file versions side by
side).
Whether you like vim (like I do) or not is a different issue, flame wars
about editors are famous.
I admit that the way you use vim is different from many Windows tools,
it is definitely not "point-and-click".
There is also a "gvim", more GUI-style, which I cannot comment on.
So you have to make your own choice.
HTH,
Jörg
