#16 how to get a list of the open files

[meBigGuy]

I'd like to get a list of the 200 or so files I have open under nc -server so I can reopen them after a reboot. Is there a way to do that?
Is there a more appropiate place to ask this question?
Thanks

The list is kept in the file nedit.history file in your ~/.nedit directory.

I have a ~/.nedit file, not a ~/.nedit directory. I assume the ~/.nedit
directory was a "new thing" about fifteen or twenty or so years ago.
How do I switch to that mode?

What version are you using? Usually, at least in my experience, when a user switches to a more recent version, nedit will pop up a dialog box explaining that the user's preferences, etc., will be converted to the current format...

Versions 5.5 and 5.7. I installed 5.5 from the nedit web site when
Scientific Linux 5.7 or so didn't included. Now Scientific Linux
includes version 5.7. Neither one pops up a window about converting
configuration when its loaded.

If you move your ~/.nedit file out of the way (for example move it to ~/.neditOLD), then start nedit again it should upgrade you to the current format. But if you prefer not to do that your history list will be kept in the file ~/.neditdb - if you do switch to the current format you won't lose your history file, nedit knows to copy it to ~/.nedit/nedit.history on the changeover...

.nedit/nedit.history worked for me. Thanks
