UltraEdit, UltraCompare, UEStudio forums

That's good to hear. Thanks Mofi for your efforts. Sorry, saw your post just today although it has been a few months. Subhash.

Hi Mofi. Sorry for the oversight. I should have mentioned before that I am using portable version but I didn't realize until I checked the folder name from the desktop shortcut after you replied to my post. UC itself doesn't display anywhere that it is portable. Before posting my question I checked ...

Hi Mofi. Thanks for the quick reply. I did what you suggested but it didn't work. Here is what I did. Closed UC. Opened the folder %APPDATA%\IDMComp\UltraCompare and deleted the two files, UCCmds32.cmf and UCMNCmdsW32.mcf. Started UC again. Got the message again. Clicked OK and then checked the menu...

I am using UC Professional 15.20.0.6. Every time I start UC, I get the message "The Menu file is out-of-date. UltraCompare will update it now". I click OK and main window displays. It doesn't update anything. Same message every time I start UC. I have tried everything in this thread but nothing has ...

Thanks a lot Mofi. Although all of your examples are great but I like the last one the most. That one one does not require a new file to be opened and closed which I think is cleaner. I will go with that one. I can use our SAS license number to search which will exist only in a SAS log file. Thanks ...

Thanks a lot Mofi. You are so thorough with everything. I really admire that. Now that we know it is an issue with UE, I can stop trying to make it work and wait for IDM's fix, if and when it comes. While on it, can I ask one more thing. Is there a way in a macro to check existence of a string in th...

I open the file via FTP account which connects to my Unix id with IP address, id and password. In Unix world, all paths are separated by "/" as against "\". Just for the heck of it, I even tried using the complete file name excluding the last portion in the macro, but it still doesn't work. Here is ...

Thanks Mofi for a very detailed reply. I didn't see anything different you did than what I had. So, the only thing that could be causing the issue is the filename itself. When I create the file in Windows the same way you did, it works fine. However, I am opening a file from Unix. When I open the fi...

Mofi, thanks for the reply. Hmm... The macro works for you, but strangely not for me. Can you please let me know exactly what you did to recreate the scenario. May be I am missing something here.

Hi, Every day I need to open some log files that have session id appended to the name of the file which is not really an extension. I started writing a macro which I could "Set macro for File Load/Save" to accomplish a task. Didn't get too far with it so I am asking for help. I have a file named /rs...

Thanks Mofi. Let's see what IDM comes up with. Subhash.

Thanks Mofi for the reply. As always, you are so thorough and quick with every issue. At least now I can stop spending more time trying to fix it. And yes, I forgot to mention in my previous post that the reverse matching for the same set of braces works just fine, with Ctrl+B or highlighted. Only t...

I know this topic has been discussed few times before but I couldn't find an issue similar to the one I am having. I am using UltraEdit Portable v16.00 on a Windows 7 machine. I have a SAS log file which has the following lines in it: SYMBOLGEN:  Macro variable ALLACCTS resolves to ((prod_typ_code =...

That's true. I agree that incompatibility with macros and scripts will cause lot of chaos. I guess we live with what we have. Thanks. Subhash.

For search in column feature the column numbering starts always with 0 for first column. This explains why 29 must be entered to find a string beginning at column 30 according to status bar. The character in end column is not included anymore in search. Therefore 31 must be entered as end column to...
