UltraEdit, UltraCompare, UEStudio forums

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I remember every bit of what you showed, and enjoyed sharing the tour with my wife. I wish you all the best as you delve into COBOL again.

Set environment variable UEINIDIR as system variable to this directory in case of using multiple accounts and you want to use always the same configuration files. This I presume applies only to UltraEdit. Is there a similar environment variable defined for UEStudio? Are there other such environment...

Thanks for correcting me on that oversight. As I said, it's been a good while since I've needed to perform such a cleanup. Moreover, you are absolutely right about bare line feed characters in the wild being very rare. Unfortunately, bare carriage returns are much more so, especially in files that r...

My suggestion would be to perform a character replacement to rationalize the line endings by replacing bare CR and LF characters with DOS newline sequences (CR/LF). Though it's been a while since I did so, I recall that I used a Perl regular expression along the lines of " .\r. " to find carriage re...

This looks very nice, and probably usable with little or no work in Node.JS as well.

I've been using UES for PHP development using CodeIgniter, SMF Forum Development, and other application work, for several years now.  Nothing in the past year, as I've actually been working on Desktop applications for Windows, but I'll be picking up PHP again as I finish some of my current workload...

Six years on, I came across this post in the course of investigating the potential benefits of enabling DDE within UltraEdit Text/Hex Editor (x64) Version 24.10.0.35. Since I don't think I've ever run UltraEdit with the DDE bits enabled, and been generally happy with its performance, I have never fe...

When I discovered and began using project files in 2009 or 2010, I attempted to open a project file from Windows Explorer, assuming that it had an association with UltraEdit, and that it would open the project as if I had selected it from the menu of recent projects in an active UE instance. Silly m...

From time to time, I use Perl regular expressions with backreferences to make otherwise impossibly tedious global replacements. Today, I discovered a quirk in their behavior, at least in the context of the UltraEdit Find and Replace engine. My original find and replace expressions were as follows. F...

Mofi: Thanks for your excellent and thorough tutorial, written from the perspective of someone who lives outside my home country. Some comments on your post: High ASCII is the wrong term for Extended ASCII , see ASCII Table and Description . DOS program window is the wrong term for console window or...

I think I may have finally found a way to successfully save a text file that contains high ASCII line drawing characters so that they display correctly in UltraEdit. A few minutes ago, I captured part of a screen from a DOS program window, pasted it into an empty Notepad window, and saved the file, ...

For the first time in years, I found myself in the middle of a Cascading Style Sheet. When my mouse traveled over a hexadecimal color attribute, I noticed this cool box that appeared to be the corresponding color. Scrolling to another color attribute that specified a different hex value, I saw that ...

I noticed a startup time > 10 seconds, and it annoyed me, but not quite enough to send me this direction. Today, I came with a different issue, and noticed this thread in the index with the information to uncheck configuration setting Load/restore printer settings . Although I haven't fully tested t...

Hear ye, hear ye! IDM actually listens to its customers! As I was working a couple of nights ago, I received an upgrade notice about Version 21.10.0.1026 of UltraEdit, which followed Version 21.10.0.1023 by only a few days (one day last week, I think). The change log contains just two entries, the f...

This is quite a discussion about regular expressions in the context of UltraEdit. I continue to be amazed at how faithful the PCRE engine is to Perl. I first used regular expressions in Perl scripts, using the ActiveState distribution, and more recently in the Microsoft .NET Framework. For the most ...
