RE: Editor - finding lines
I would think just a normal search feature would be good enough. Find the first one and then hit next for the next one etc. That, IMO is the best feature of Crimson Editor... you can highlight something with the mouse, hit F3 and it takes you to the next instance of it, hit shiftF3 and it takes you to the previous one. And for free, it's worth every penny ;-) R. ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

Back in my IBM Mainframe programming days I used an editor that would search for a string and return a display of all of the lines containing that string. I could then edit the line(s) or go to one of them to perform edits on that area. (I don't remember the exact mechanics... it's been quite a few years now!) I've often wished I had that tool on the PC and even bought a copy of SPF that I thought might do the job. I don't remember now if it did, but I do know I was very unsatisfied with it. perhaps if I'd become expert with it maybe it is ok, but I never managed to get comfortable with it. Does anyone know of another editor with a search feature similar to what I described?

'n'/'N' will move you to the next/previous match. I would like it even better though, sometimes I want to highlite several items in different colors, like keeping multiple active searches, each with a different highlite color. And for free, it's worth every penny ;-) vim, even freeer. one of my favorite vim features, is the ability to pipe a selected portion ( or all ) of the text through an external program, and have it replace by the output of this program. when manipulating some piece of information, I often prefix it with '__DATA__' and a little bit of perl, starting with 'while (DATA)', and then pipe the whole contents of my current window through perl, with '!Gperl' so I can easily experiment with the data while keeping it in my editor.

Greetings;
Yes, Crimson is very good. I have it installed on all (8) of
the computers I use.
But, if you have ever used XEdit/THE you would not consider
a normal search feature to be anywhere near good enough.
The feature in XEdit displays only the lines/records
containing the search string. Similar to layers in an image
editor or a DTP program. So, if you can display 80 lines in
your window you will see 80 lines that contain your search
string, not just 80 lines, one or two of which contain it.
Scrolling continues to show only lines containing the search
string.
ob: perl,
Suppose you need to find all the places where child is
called and in what subroutines it may be in. The command
would be
all /child(/|(/sub // {/)
and you would be viewing all subroutine headers and all
calls to child in the correct order, and only those lines.
Xedit was developed back in the '80s and was a big hit when
it came out. Previously there was only a line editor. It is
just unfortunate that other full-screen editors didn't
incorporate some of its features.
Get THE and check it out. It is very customizable and may
give you some ideas if you decide to write an editor of
your own!
Good Luck!
Dennis
