RJ TextEd - Unicode text and source editor

[rbon]

Hi,
RJ TextEd is a powerful tool for webmasters and programmers.
This unicode editor is for source, text and Html.
I think that this editor is similar to Ultraedit and You can use Ultraedit syntax files (wordfiles http://www.ultraedit.com/downloads/extras.html ) with it.
You can find info and the portable build at:
- RJ TextEd main page: http://www.rj-texted.se/
- RJ TextEd download page: http://www.rj-texted.se/download.htm
- RJ TextEd portable (direct link): http://www.rj-texted.se/downloads/RJ_Te ... nstall.zip
- RJ TextEd current version: 4.62
- Softpedia.com link: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Programmin ... xtEd.shtml
Portable how-to: download the file 'RJ_TextEd_NoInstall.zip' and unzip it; run the file 'TextEd.exe'.

Quite interesting.
There is also an utility to convert syntax files from Ultraedit

Thought I'd give this a go. Couldn't get FTP to show my files although log shows it had connected. Some minor flaws in the syntax highlighter for variables in strings in PHP.

<edit>Finally got the FTP to show a directory listing but couldn't access any other folder once connected.

Shows a lot of promise but has a long way to go. I'll stick with PSPad for now.

1. PsPad: this editor is very good but, unfortunately, it is'nt portable because it write some settings to the Windows Registry (I have tested the last build):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PsPad (main key)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PsPad\Ready: xxxxxx
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PsPad\PSPadHandle: xxxxxx
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts (main key for the opened files)
2. RJ TextEd: it is a very good and portable editor (Snapfiles.com: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/rjtexted.html), but it possible that it has some little bugs.
So I ask You: please send an email to the author with the bug explanation at: support@rj-texted.se. I know that the feedback is always appreciate.
Best regards

The registry entry is only for the system integration I think. I actually have PSPad installed on here anyway but am always testing new editors and prefer portable versions for testing.

I'll email the author when I get a minute as I'm tied up writng some script.

Ok been in touch with the maker of it and he's working on fixing the issue. He's already fixed the slowdown problem which was caused by the FTP component he uses asking for the last modified date of every file in the directory. I also gave him a bug report on it not supporting the HEREDOC in PHP. I'll hassle him some more in the future about the correct classification of PHP functions.

Once he's ironed out the FTP bugs the only thing that would make this program better would be the ability to either auto complete a function name (which it has) or auto complete it with the possible attributes in there. This is something that only PSPad seems to support.

Type mysql_q and press

Ctrl + J:
mysql_query()

Ctrl + Space
mysql_query(string query, [resource link_identifier])

There's a portable version available here

RJ TextEd v10.0 released (changelog at http://www.rj-texted.se/download.html).

[bitcoin]

combined x32 and x64 into one 130 MB download and the 3 MB help file is a separate download, lol

[Midas]

Current RJ TextEd is 13.30 (changelog at https://www.rj-texted.se/download.html).

@bitcoin: it does look odd -- until you realize the separate help file download is a patch for situations where online help isn't an option...

If you can't use the on-line help - the current CHM help file is still available for download. Copy the help file to "[AppData]\Roaming\RJ TextEd\Help\". If no Internet connection is available -- the local help file is used.

Sadly, that procedure can hardly be considered a portability enhancement.

i don't like the online help option. it seems like more and more programs are looking for an excuse to force you to visit their website in the browser
lately i download portable programs and as soon as i start it up it wants to open the default browser thru a svchost.exe - sneaky
