Hi Piper, I was wondering if you are still actively working pipEdit. I develop quite a lot in C using SPF365, which is a windows based SPF-like editor. This is the only reason I have to keep one Windows machine, all my other systems are Linux. Having looked at the few SPF-like editors on Linux, I have come to the conclusion that pipEdit is the most viable. Hence, I am very keen to see the development move forward. I am very willing to provide feedback/input/suggestions or, when desired, assist in...
Hi i kust installed pipedit i can't find the way to move lines if i digit m on line number , i get "invalid line command" thanks in advance for the suppport Maurizio
Fixed, will be shipped with the next release. Thanks for reporting!
Fixed typos
Sorry for the late reply, but that looks like the environment variable $PIPEDITCFG is pointing at a config file which defines the default language spanish (es), and you are editing a cfg file in a different location. An example how $PIPEDITCFG could look like: PIPEDITCFG=/home/yournamehere/.pipedit/pipedit.cfg Under Linux you can check its setting with this command: env | grep -i pipeditcfg The variable should be defined in the config file of your shell, like .bashrc, .kshrc, depending on which shell...
While trying to run pipedit, I always get a Could not open language file >/pipedit.es<, aborting.. I don't have that language in the cfg. Tried with language=en, language=default, language= and also no language line at all. Every option leads to the same error message.
Fixed, removed the word "lesser" from source, document and also from the VER command. Will be shipped with the next release. Thanks for reporting this mess!
From the main source it seems that's LGPL https://sourceforge.net/p/pipedit/code/41/tree//trunk/pipedit.c#l1 While that is uncommon for programs (as you rarely move parts of out out to a library) that would be fine. @piper1: please either replace the license by the common COPYING.LESSER content or adjust the source and doc to say its GPL.
Is this licensed under GPL or LGPL. The LICENSE files says GPL. But the PDF in the first sentence under LICENSE says: This program is under the Gnu lesser General Public License, GPL. Also, to be pedantic. "Gnu" should always be capitalized as "GNU".
The subject says it all.
1st of may update. Some more bugfixes and a simple spread sheet (ss) macro, just to show what macros can do.
Update done, looks like it is working. Feel free to post bug reports here.
1st of may release - bugfixes

Starting 1st of may update now. Hopefully i don't break everything.....
Thats correct, the scroll factors arent implemented yet.
Can't change the scroll factor Moving the cursor using arrow keys to the scroll factor which is set to CSR, and typing PAGE , the cursor just moves one position for each key depression but the scroll factor remains unchanged.
Update: I am still testing the editor, i am now down to one last crash which happens once in a blue moon... Two new macros will come with the next update, not really useful, but to show what macros can do, a calculator and a very simple spread sheet. I am testing the editor by writing a new COBOL preprocessor from scratch with the editor and the macros, maybe it's useful, maybe it's just fun to have :)
D'oh, thats why i love my Firefox, it always forgets some cookies or whatever... And you're right, let it be moderated, spam is not needed.
That's because you were not logged in. If you want to, you can disable the moderation (or I could do it), but this may increase spam.
I am surprised that the zip file is not working, i thought it was the last years. And since i was using the editor more often the last months, i found some bugs, crashes.. Which means, there will be an update sooner or later, which should also fixes the language file problem. Hopefully >.<
Oh, well, since when do my posts to be moderated? ** Post awaiting moderation.**
If those are missing you can download them from the source and place them into your installation. You find those at https://sourceforge.net/p/pipedit/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/langfiles/
This file didn't come with the zip file. Is there one "out there" somewhere or, baring that, how would one go about making it?
New release with some bugfixes, new line command "ts", new macros, def, ll, lcpy, zoomin. Updated documentation.

The editor had some issues with finding macros and the comp macro had some problems when the parameter file for a COBOL program was missing. Fixed both and macros can now return an error message to the editor and stop it from reloading the (modified) source code.
Bugfix for macro handling / comp macro
localized language support
English language file added, users guide updated.
Updated user_guide, added english langfile
I'd suggest to include an ".en" file, too, because people are more likely to translate it correctly to another language than to translating from the German language file, but that's up to you. In any case this ticket can be closed when the documentation change is done. Thanks for you work on this.
Umm.. is that really needed? Just have a look at the german language file and change the german text to french, spanish, whatever. (English is the default, hard coded in pipEdit) But i am going to add a chapter about language files to the pipEdit_User_Guide.pdf.
Added german language file
Added german language file
Thanks for [r33], do you also have the referenced "en" file (or a note in the repo: how to create/update that)?
ok, uploaded pipedit.de in folder langfiles, german language file.
I meant "there are no language files in the repo yet" - can you please include whatever one you have?
As the subject says, Simon did some bugfixes and i added the "lic"/"license'" command. The lic/license line command will display informations of the license pipEdit uses, the Gnu lesser General Public License. Just type lic or license in the command line and press ENTER key,then press F1 to toggle the short or longer message.
lic/license command and users guide update
Sure, if someone has more language files, upload them or post a link to them in "Discussion", so I/we can add them.
0.8.7 minor fixes
localized language support
win32 support
I've just rechecked, this now also builds with Arnold's Win32 package, as long as the defines in the Makefiles are adjusted (we may want to include additional conditional make parts allowing to pass the curses library doing make, removing the need to adjust the makefile.
Note: I've added a copyright header with [r28]
0.8.7 minor fixes

Yeah....UNIX world requires IQ....Wish I could download some of that - Take care :)
"Trying to do COBOL on the PC is not easy with all the editors out there!!!" The PC is not the problem ;) Hint: LINUX wink :) Stay safe too and good luck with COBOL!
Thank you very much for taking the time to try and find me an alternative. Trying to do COBOL on the PC is not easy with all the editors out there!!! I will give the suggested one a try, it is new to me. Thank you and stay safe.
Okay, it's not that easy... Just taking the source code and compiling it with gcc does not work. Maybe using PDCurses with pipEdit under Windows might work, but i dont have the time right now to try that. As an alternative, i would suggest to try "The Hessling Editor", but i see, you posted there already. Another thing for Windows i've found is this: https://github.com/Ambusy/XeditPc
This will be so good of you...May you be protected from Corona and all other bad stuff! Thanks much
I havent tried to compile it for Windows, but i will try it later, if i have some spare time. I will try to compile it with gcc, which comes with GnuCobol for Windows. https://arnoldtrembley.com/GnuCOBOL.htm#binaries And if i can compile it, i will upload the binary here.
Looks like a great tool. My problem is I know nothing about C language I have to learn a Zillion other things.... I could not compile it as I am not sure how to set up the C compiler and I am sure, like every other thing it will be a difficult trip (if not impossible). Is there anywhere that provides Windows 10 64-bit executable? Could it be compiled using VS2019? How? Thanks.

Bugfix for INS/DEL keys, now, when they are pressed, the source code is rated as changed and saved when leaving the editor. The bug was, when you edit a file and just delete (or insert) characters, the source code wouldnt be saved.

line commands c and m + a/b, del all nx/x
And there will be a release soon, since i added the line commands copy/move after/before and some brushing up the behaviour of the editor.
Minor update maybe soon
Updated README and removed README.TXT
Updated README and README.TXT. Thanks Mickey for reporting and Simon for your suggestion :) Edit: And removed README.TXT, no need to have both README and README.TXT with the same content.
Removed README.TXT, just README is good enough

Where do I install it? Wherever you want it to be. Maybe in your home/bin or system-wide in /usr/local/bin, then placing the language files into /usr/local/share/pipedit... just a suggestion. Does it need to be in my path? Only if you want to run it without specifying the path to it. Need more instructions? I think yes, the README should say that you need to tweak pipedit.cfg (I'd personally suggest to place the file either wherever you have the language files or in your home directory. According...
