Ultraedit as external text editor

Hi, is anyone else successfully using "UltraEdit" as an eagle external

text editor?

I do use ultraedit as my main text editor, but I rarely need it for

eagle work. What need do you have for text editor in Eagle?

I imagine the OP would be using it for writing ULP. Ideally it would have ULP language syntax set up and it would integrate with the tool such that when a ULP generated an error it would open UltraEdit at the right file with the cursor on the right line/column. I don't have UltraEdit so can't add anything on it's suitability for EAGLE ULP but if there is a syntax file available or it's easy to create your own language syntax, and if you can launch it via a command line and pass it parameters for the file, line number and optionally column then it should work.

Best Regards,

Rachael

Ah, of course. I do write ULP's in ultraedit but never bothered enter it

as external editor, simply because I didn't find the magic parameter to

pass line and col number. Now I found it and tested it.

The command line field works with:

uedit64 %F -l%L -c%C

If you use the 32 bit version, you should use uedit32 of course.

Thanks for bumping this functionality

I forgot to mention that you can also tell ultraedit ro use "c" style

highlighting for .ulp files in the configuration window.

Add *.ulp to "'C'Files under" under "File types".
