Yate - yet another text editor

[maker]

The title pretty much says it. This link will always lead to the latest release page link:

http://www.programmingforfun.net/#Yate

The current release is an MDI text editor with the basic capabilities I would expect from a notepad replacement, plus a line sort tool. More features to come, but when or how often I can't predict. There is a wish list on the page linked above that will give you an idea of where it might end up one day.



EDIT: changed the link to match new site layout

KIKI, are you sure you downloaded from the Yate pages? I ask because that code looks like something from an older project called "Jate", which was in Liberty Basic, not PureBasic. If you would like to look a the Yate code, go to the link in my first post and make sure you are looking at the release list at the bottom of the page; follow the release 4 link and you should get the right file then.

Just downloaded YATE release 4 and will work with it more over the weekend but a quick run has definitely impressed me.

In your 'wish list' on the download page you specify 'syntax highlighting (maybe)'. If you pursue that path, please consider making the editor easily customizable via the use of syntax word lists external to the program and perhaps an option to automatically uppercase all key words.

Reason for this is that I'm writing, for work, an ftp scripting engine with it's own language. I would really like to have an editor which would automatically color the keywords (commands) and change them to uppercase for me. In my particular case the keywords can ONLY be at the very beginning of a line but I don't expect that level of customization ... however, color highlighting and auto capitalization are huge priorities for me.

Thanks for what looks like it's going to be a great and very useful tool.

Best,

Tom

If I pursue that path at all, rest assured the syntax highlighting will be easily customizable. One of my pet peeves is how so many otherwise nifty freeware editors are unusable for PureBasic because the editor's syntax highlighting is hardcoded or extremely cumbersome to change.

As far as the uppercasing, actually changing the text like that is pretty far beyond basic highlighting, or even syntax formatting (which is relatively rare, and usually consists of the ability to specify italics or bold font for some parts). I suspect that need would be better served by an external tool or a built-in macro language. Those two features are definitely part of the plan, although who knows when I'll finally get around to it...
