Hi, I use a lot of log files that have embedded ANSI escape codes for colors: # Color codes REDBOLDBLINK="\e[1;31;5m" ORANGE="\e[0;33m" PURPLE="\e[0;35m" REVERSE_CYAN="\e[0;36;7m" REVERSE_RED="\e[0;31;7m" ColorOFF="\e[0m" On Windows 11 I can `type` the log file and see the colored text but there doe...

Good morning, I am a new user of the forum. I would need some help. I have written the AS Kawasaki language syntax but I have problems with the function list display. I cannot get the correct list of routines in the function list. The syntax highlighting is correct for me, it displays the various co...

You only list Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04.  Does either of these work on 20.04?  If not could you compile one up?  I use 20.04 for various compatability reasons and have a Ubuntu Pro account so it should be good for some years yet. :)

I want to write a script in UltraEdit to output markdown and directly view in 'Browser view'. Is this possible? I need to take action: 1. switch Syntax Highlighting Display language to Markdown 2. switch Browser view

When trying to update UE to the most recent version, the install progress bar stops at 2% and I get a message that UE is up to date. However, UE the update was not successful. UE is still  31.1.0.32. Any thoughts? ue.jpg

Normally Find in Files returns the whole line containing the search string. Is there a setting to make Find in Files return just the search string? For example, when searching a group of html files for <p class="\w+" I'd like to get back just a list of the opening tags with the classes, not a list o...

The formatting settings that I'm trying to apply, are as follows: Artisitc Style Formatter Java.png When I click the Reformat button while ha...

Version 2024.0.0.35 I relied on UE to visually validate files as being in good order and visually they looked good, however, when processed in Python I discovered every other line was empty. I opened one of the files in Notepad++ and it properly displays the empty lines.  UltraEdit ue.png Notepad++ ...

UE MAC Prod Version 2022.0.0.16 I've used UE on both windows and osx, but mostly on OSX these days. Does anyone know how I can get the 'List lines containing find string' to do what is supposed to on OSX? I perform a Find, click the checkbox against 'List lines...', but I never get a separate window...

Hi, I am unable to run UltraEdit under Ubuntu 24.04. The steps I made are downloading Gzip compressed TAR file of UltraEdit 21.00 for Linux . Then I uncompressed it, and attempted to run UE – the uex/bin/uex binary file. However, I am not getting a successful UltraEdit startup. The terminal output i...

Good day dear masters of UE! I have a task and did not find an easy way how to solve it. I have a big massive of data and I need to filter lines with specific name in the beginning of each line and then change some information in those lines. I already find post in this forum about how to copy all f...

The symbol ° is not inserted correctly. The symbol encoded as ° in the template file should be inserted as ° (degree symbol) but no conversion happens when the template is inserted into the file. This happened after updating to 64-bit UltraEdit 2024.1.0.36 on 64-bit Windows 10 Professional. The...

The version 2024.1.0.32 (31.1.0.32) requires api-ms-win-shcore-scaling-l1-1-1.dll, which does not come with Windows 7. I will email support and ask if 2024.1 (31.1) is no longer supported on Win7, or if the file was simply missing, and if missing, where would that file go once I fetch it.

Ok, once again UltraEdit is behaving in a way that for me is non-productive, probably because I installed one of the BeGiZillion updates and it cleared my preferences. Anyway, I have a file, for instance page1.php that I open then I save with a new name, say page2.php because I am going to edit it t...

Hi! I really love the special sort feature. But I have one recommendation: Could you please implement a checkbox, that there could be the first line defined as a headline, which should not be sorted at all? This would be a cool feature as I have a lot of CSV files with a header in first line. Thanks...

I am running UltraEdit Text/Hex Editor (x64) version 28.10.0.26 on Windows. I'm an infrequent user of UltraEdit. What I want to do is to search for a string in whatever files I have open and return a window with all of the lines containing that string. In that window I want to click on one of the li...

Hi, I use Tecnomatix RealNC. If we change an NC program in this software, we are clicking on a symbol in the toolbar as you see it below and than open it with notepad.exe. At the same time is created in local/temp folder a *.tmp folder automatically. We can the change text editor (Notepad). If we us...

I'm trying to better configure the spell checker when I have syntax highlighting in the text. I usually use the Ruby language to display ordinary TXT files. The first line of the language file (ruby.uew) is: /L12"Ruby" RUBY_LANG Line Comment = # Block Comment On = =begin Block Comment Off = =end Str...

Hi! I've just installed UEStudio 2024.1 and tried the announced new feature in beta - using key agents for login to SSH and FTP. I'm running KeePass and plugin KeyAgent, both work perfectly well with Windows Terminal and the SSH keys are requested each time I'm logging into the Linux firewall. I've ...

Hello friends, I request your help in identifying possible coding errors in our HTML table. In particular, I'm concerned about rows that may have an incorrect number of cells, leading to inconsistencies in the table layout.

I ran into a very strange situation. After copying and pasting text from a web page, I realized that I would need to do some regular expression tweaking to fix the problem. The page is this: https://www.letras.mus.br/michel-legrand/61187/traducao.html When I copy the lyrics of the song and its trans...

Hello, after the update to 2024.1.0.32 several lines are now highlighted as the current line for longer lines with line breaks. Since it is at least for me more confusing (orientation in the text) now the question: Can this be changed again? Greetings Frank

Hello together! Is it possible to ignore some characters in lines, for example like with regular expression N[0-9]* ? Example: in first file: ... N0010 X10 Y87 Z100 N0020 G1 X50 F150 N0030 Y50 ... The coordinates are the same in second file , but the line numbers are different. But the line numbers ...

Hello, I have two questions: - is there a favorite or bookmark option to save a directory path for later access? - how can I edit a file on the server, respectively download it temporary and upload it after I click save? Thanks for any hint. Cheers

With text such as: "    ! Determine which case" I'm wondering if it possible to use UltraEdit's Regular Expression style (as opposed to Perl) to lower the case of the first letter after "!"?  I was thinking something along these lines to catch the input: "    ! ^([A-Z]^)^([a-z]^)" But I'm not seeing...

I have used UltraEdit since 2009. I purchased a lifetime license when it first became available in 2014. I am very familiar with the program. After 15 years of being a moderately happy and satisfied customer, the 2024 upgrade now takes 3 seconds to close the active window. I imagine this is because ...

When I right click in the file explorer I can no longer create a directory or file (remotely or local) if the directory I'm currently in is empty.  The first image below shows if I right click I get nothing. The second image below is what I see when right clicking in a directory that contains files ...

I use the SSH/Telnet client extensively and have noticed some usability issues and significant differences from v2023 with the new v2024 release: Password displayed in SSH window in plain text. It used to be sent without echoing to the screen. Not significant but possibly an unintended change. UNABL...

Hello everyone. I'm getting desperate here. I have installed UltraEdit on a new computer/notebook. So far so good, but: I have added a lot of words in the spell checker on the old computer stored in a custom dictionary (German: Wörterbuch). Where are they saved? I think I've already searched everyth...

I'm using the Mac version, and couldn't find a native UE command to remove all empty lines in a file. Does this exists or do I have to use a regular expression? 

In Visual Studio Code, if you hover over a function, a pop-up window will display information about the function. Is this possible in UEstudio?

I'm undoubtedly missing something obvious, but how does one change the highlighting color of selected text in a basic .txt file? I like to use dark mode and the selected text highlight color is dark blue and nearly indistinguishable from the background color of black. It be nice if I could alter it ...
