Is their no word wrap in Dev-C++??? I looked everywhere and havn't been able to find it. Really annoying having to press enter when I reach the end of the line.

If your lines of code are that long, you are probably doing something wrong from a readability or even a programming (nesting too many loops) standpoint.

What's with these people lately? They don't like the fonts, they can't hit return... I think every new programmer should have to spend a month working with EDLIN.

I read something like this once about two programmers trying to out-do each other with who could do the most primitive editing, ended up with one guy claiming to use a bar magnet to manually write the code to the disk platter.. lol

I think there are partical reasons to implement word wrap. I also use DC to edit other ASCII fioles, particularly documentation, and find it rather frustrating.

So in other words, because you use a program for a purpose it wasn't designed for, you find it frustrating?
I also find the lack of word wrap in Excel frustrating when I use it to make presentations.
There's no voting feature on this forum, but I think you'd find the number of people who wanted word wrap would be outweighed by the number who didn't.

Well, in the old days, when I used WordStar as my editor, it had two modes it ran in: word processing mode and text editting mode.
In text editting mode, it did nothing fancy and only saved in plain ascii.
Of course, this is well over 20 years ago, I am sure the state of the art has considerably improved ;-)
As for vi ... hmm, it is the editor that comes with msys.
One gripe I have about modern IDE editors is that they perform "smart" tab / space replacements - which makes editting make files a pain, since the rule must be preceded by a tab (which gets replaced by spaces).
As far as I know, no programming editor ever came wih a wordwrap feature (of course, this could just illustrate my limited experience with editors, or my flaky memory) ... urg, now that I come to think of it, emacs does word wrapping ...

How about vi?

real programmers do it in debug :)))

I think word wrap is a bad idea for code editor. just as bad as variable width fonts. that's just my personal view

Oh My God! I hope you haven't over-exerted yourself.
