[chiPHPug-discuss] Text Editors

[Roderick T. <tho...@ms...>]

For those of you who I haven't met . . .

I'm a novice programmer.  And I'm also an data analyst working in a 
restrictive environment for the State of Michigan.   This being the 
case, it's highly unusual for our Department of Information & Technology 
to allow us to install software that has not been pre-approved by a host 
of committees.   However, my recent duties require me to calculate the 
total number of records (rows) in text files in order to meet certain 
format requirements.  For this reason, I am in need of a text editor 
more advanced than Notepad or Wordpad--one that at least displays row 
counts.  Since a text editor of that sort has not been pre-approved, I 
have been granted permission to test open source editors to recommend as 
state-approved software.  Of course, I would like to take full advantage 
of this opportunity.  For my personal interests I would like to test 
editors that are also useful for PHP and MySql.  Java, Drupal, and other 
platforms would be a plus.  But most importantly, for state business I 
would need features like sorting, searching, data manipulation, and 
other stuff based on certain unique formats.


For example, I may want to identify or count strings that look like these:

HD*as*01*286*441~
REF*zz*20090731***~
INS*1*20090701-20090731*y*x*04~

Thanks.  Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

I've been pretty happy with E-TextEditor when I'm working in a Windows

You can also try UltraEdit -- it's not free but very customisable, powerful, and really not expensive. At least it worths it.

e-texteditor is my favorite on windows too.

To understand why it's so awesome you have to watch the video on their
website. Being able to select text like this is the coolest thing ever.

It's also easy to write your own bundles to make the editor do what you
want if it's not already built in. The bundles are compatible with
TextMate, so there are already a lot to choose from.

If you just want a line count of the lines in a file and you are on a 
l/unix based system you could just use the wc command.....  All the 
other items you specified could be done with other GNU tools.  Maybe 
Cygwin will fit your needs?

I would like to recommend vim.  It does all that you need and is available on any platform, has row/char count, syntax highlighting and advanced search and replace.  But a syntax that takes a bit of mastery.

I've been using PSPad for about 6 months now and I am very happy with it.

Some others that I really like are notepad++ winvi. All of these 
programs (including pspad) require no installation.

As an aside, you can view row counts with notepad. View -> Status Bar. 
You must have word wrap disabled for this option to be available. This 
will give you a status bar that shows the row you are currently on. Go 
to the bottom and voila. It will not display the total row count like 
more advanced editors.

For that matter the dos command "edit" isn't a bad editor for programming when visiting random windows host.  It also gives locations and is binary safe when used as edit /b.

I use Aptana for HTML/PHP/Javascript development.  It is really intuitive
with code completion for PHP.  It also has FTP capabilities (a must for
me).  I've only messed with it a little, but Aptana also has some ability to
connect with MySQL data sources.

I've used it successfully on Windows and it works great.  They also have a
Linux version (couldn't get it to work) and a Mac version (runs really
slow).

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Text Editors

[Richard L. <ce...@l-...>]

line count should be trivial in any editor, really...

A decent Regular Expression search / count, built into the editor will
probably be the harder one to find.

Asking a bunch of developers which editor to use is generally futile.
We all have our own preferences, and have invested too much time in
fine-tuning the editor of choice (or sometimes of no-choice) to fit
our needs.

If *other* users will be stuck with using the editor you pick, I
highly recommend you solicit their opinion before picking -- You may
end up having to convince the Department to install several well-known
editors, as you are unlikely to get concensus.

PS Put me down for recommending 'vim', though I'm not sure it's right
for you, even though it's perfect for me.

You get the line count trivially.
Searching for lines that match would be a matter of typing:
/HD.*as.*01.*286.*441~

/ starts the search
. matches any character
* means 0 or more

Counting the matches is probably trivial in vi, but I've never had to
do that, as I just pop out to shell with grep -c for that.

PPS
If you get them to install cygwin with several editors and grep, then
you have a great deal more flexibility.

Well vi let's you do a regex search and replace and will tell you how many rows affected, then you can do an undo....  Voila!
