UltraEdit, UltraCompare, UEStudio forums

Hi, is it possible (via syntax highlighting ?) to highlight the currently selected string like this: 2008-08-29_162115.png Seen that in Eclipse or as above in Notepad++ Thanks from a 10+ year UltraEdit user.

Hi, Can UltraEdit format an XML document? For example: <TAG1><SUB> HELLO </SUB></TAG1> would become <TAG1>  <SUB>HELLO</SUB> </TAG1> I am the registered user of UltraEdit 9 and was wondering if there is a way to do above. Thanks in advance.

I use R (http://www.r-project.org) for coding statistical analyses. How do I set up UE to send a line of code, or a selection, or the whole file to the R console? Thanks!

I love UEStudio but recently I was disappointed to find that the new features of Ultraedit aren't implemented in UEStudio. Such as split explorer, New Open Files Dialog, Drag and Drop Tabs, Auto Tag matching, and so on. Are there plans on implementing these feature soon and is UEStudio always going ...

I just installed UE and after setting it up the way I like it, I noticed that the cursor is blinking in the wrong spot on lines that have bolded text. I set keywords and operators to bold, so this happens on most lines, and it makes editing completely impossible. I've been trying to find a replaceme...

I seem to have confusing results when doing a compare of 2 simple text files. I am using Ultracompare ver 7.20.0.1009. Below is how a difference is usually shown: ColouredDiff.PNG In the line below, the only difference is the .5 at the end. The line is flagged as different, but when I hit the blue a...

Today I've seen that there was a new version of UltraEdit so I've downloaded the trial version. Apart from the good improvements to the Explorer window, I've seen a big difference with the old icons. Really... I miss the old icons... Is there any way to keep or choose or do something to see the old ...

Why do the File Ignore Options (IGNORE BLANK LINES IGNORE BLANK SPACE, IGNORE CASE & IGNORE LINE TERMINATORS ) not work when comparing 2 files of the same type (text in this case) where the only difference between them is the number of spaces and/or case and/or lines? For example if file 1 has this:...

First time using UE as a trial to see if I need the upgrade. I have a VBS script that I have created. Is there a way I can "run" the script right from the UE interface or do I need to save and double click the VBS script? I see that UEStudio has the functionality was wondering if possible in UE? tha...

Hello, In the File Tree View (Explorer tab) there are right-click option to search for a string within files. Is there a way to search for a particular file name within this context? Most of the search/find facilities I have seen (or encountered is a better word) are to search for strings within a f...

I performed a search and specified to hide the lines matching my search criteria. I then preformed a Select All and Copy operation. In a new document, I pasted the clipboard content. The new file contained all the lines from the original document. Is it possible to exclude all the hidden lines in a ...

Hello. I so much enjoying this feature when you select a text and hit F3 button it starts searching for the selected text. There is only one issue with this feature: if previous search activated regex, then F3 doesn't search for the selected text but continue search for the previously entered regex....

Hi there, since I am an experienced windows user, but a quite newbee in linux, I encountered a simple(?) problem. Today I purchased UEX, because it's essential for me and the one and only software that earn the prefix "ultra" ;-). But, how do I enter special characters? <crtl>+<shift>+u does not wor...

Hello, I am using version 17.20.0.1016 of UltraEdit and when a file is opened that is Read-Only there is a icon indicator and the background indicates such. My question is, is there a way to change the file from Read-Only to Write/Read? I searched around, but my google fu is not strong this morning....

I just installed UEM and it is very slow when I type text or select text. You normally expect to type and select text in real-time (as fast as you type or move the cursor to select) but it is significantly slower which is very annoying. Startup time and the performance of all other functions is fine...

Hello All, Does anyone know what the regex in the replace function in UltraEdit 16.30 should be to delete comments from a file that start with /* and end with */? I tried "/***/" (without quotes) and it did not work. Thanks

Hi, I'm using the wordfile for ini file syntax and I see that the last section in the ini is not detected as foldable. This is of course due to the fact that the Close Fold Strings include only the "[", meaning the beginning of another section. Is there a way to denote EOF as a close fold string/ind...

I recently upgraded from Windows 7 Pro 32 bit to Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Since the upgrade UltraEdit (version 16.30.0.1003) will every so often start showing a popup message every time I change from one open file to another open file. This does not happen every time I run UltraEdit and so far always s...

Hello, I'm trying to do comparisons on large directories across more systems systems than I care to and the file type variations in these directories is extensive. It would be much easier to exclude the handful of log file types. Is there a way to set file types to exclude rather than the include fi...

Hi there Apologies if this is an dumb question, I am a new user switching over from beyond compare and am doing my best to familiarise. I have two folders I'm comparing, and am finding it a little frustrating that I can't 'merge first to second' when 'second' is a file that is read-only. I get the d...

I tried to search for symbol characters using Perl style regex e.g. ] for searching a bracket. If i disable Match Whole Word Only, I can match a standalone ] character. But if I enable it, the ] cannot be matched. This is observed when searching for many different kinds of symbol characters (* " etc...

I've noticed after applying Windows XP Service Pack 2 that ClearType fonts are not rendered properly in UltraEdit. They look just like un-antialiased fonts. Anyone else seen that? Not sure if it's always been like that as I've swapped displays too.

Running Windows XP SP3, UE 16.20.0.1011 Whenever I use my mouse wheel to scroll the cursor position is lost. How to recreate: 1. Start UE. 2. Open a file. 3. Click somewhere in the file and notice the blinking cursor (insertion point, or whatever you want to call it). 4. Use the mouse wheel to scrol...

Hello all, I am quite new too UltraEdit, and have a big database. Now I want to find, within that database, a range of IP-adresses, lets say: 21.111.22.1 to 21.111.27.8. How can I make a Regular Expression for this? I have tried alot already, but it does'nt seem to work. So I start with 'Search' , '...

Does UE support or are there any plans to support elastic tabstops (a la http://nickgravgaard.com/elastictabstops/)?

While the file list view was on undockable I accidently move it to the top of the screen. With the function list on the right. Now my files show below them and I want it between the file list and the function list as it comes when installed. Could someone help me with this. It is driving me crazy.

Is there a way to switch between the SSH/Telnet console window and the regular edit windows by hotkey? I've managed to put the SSH/Telnet console on the pop-up menu, which is ok, and when both the console and regular edit windows are full screen, works pretty good....but....I'd love a better way. A ...

Since it's only used for debugging (or, at least for info to current UE user), I'd like to see a scriptable shortcut to UltraEdit.outputWindow.write. And since it's a shortcut and meant for programmers, I propose this: ? (Yes, I'm a VBer) In your code you just write: ? "this is the value of x now:" ...

I'm new to regex, and often have a problem with my html documents. I need to relace multiple blank lines with only two blank lines. It's very simple using Word 2003 so I guessed that Perl regex will do at least as well because it's more powerful and flexible. I searched the posts, however, and can't...

Is there a way/menu command to go to the last window used rather than just the previous one in the open list? I frequently like to compare two files myself in the editor rather than use UltraCompare or sometimes I will need information from one text file while working in another and like to be able ...

Bit of a problem, really. Having spent ages tweaking colour schemes for syntax highlighting, a minor update has modified uestudio.ini and reverted to default colors (which really don't work on a black background). During install it claimed to save copies of old menus and wordfiles yet I can't seem t...

I am using UltraEdit 13.20 on Windows XP SP2. I started UltraEdit this morning, like I do every day, and all my settings were lost. It acted like I was opening UltraEdit for the first time. This happened to me a few months ago as well. Is there any explanation for it and is there anything I can do t...

There are times when I need to indent folded code. However, after indenting and unfolding the code I see only the line of text I indented actually got indented. We really need the ability to "push" code to the right whether we used spaces or indenting, etc., but it would be a huge time saver if we c...
