line counting, abbreviations and syntax coloring

juju · Dec 11, 2005#12005-12-11T01:56+00:00

I've been trying UEStudio as I was looking for a new editor and so far UEStudio is very convincing. There are some things though, I couldn't find.

Is there a way to use the word couting function on a whole project or all open files maybe?
Another thing I was wondering if UEStudio supports abbreviations (like in jEdit or slickedit)? If you don't know what I mean I mean something that gives you the possibility to type "br<expansion key>" to get BufferedReader in Java or that automatically adds the condition and body of a while statement when i type "while" or that automatically adds an closing html tag... i think you get the picture. Is there a way to emulate that behaviour?
Finally I was looking for a central place where I could set a basic coloring scheme for all programming languages... they all have things in common afterall. Is there a way to do that?

Any help is very appreciated, thanks.

No, you can only copy the content of all files together into 1 file. This can be done with a macro or by simply using the DOS command copy *.* BigFileWithAllContents.txt. Enter copy /? to get the help of the copy command.

I think, you should read in help of UES about "Auto Complete" and "Auto Completion".

No, you have to set the colors for all languages. For fast copying the color settings to all 20 languages open uestudio.ini and copy whole [Language x Colors] section. See help of UES about "INI File Selection and Advanced Settings" where uestudio.ini (uedit32.ini for UltraEdit) can be stored.
