Ultraedit as external text editor

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

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.

It use to be up on our site under tools and converters. If anyone would

like them let me know, I still have them.

It would be great if you could put them in the new website, perhaps in

the ULP area if the Misc category is not reinstated. 

An early release of a ULP language file for Notepad++ still exists on the

FTP server, ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/userfiles/misc/

ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/userfiles/misc/notepad+

+_userdefinedlanguage_ulp.zip

Jorge is likely to have the most recent version that was updated for

Eagle 5/6 ULP changes.

Kind regards

Attached is the syntax file I created over two years ago for TextPad. At

that time the Notepad++ one was missing a few keywords and this one I

created included them so it may be of use as a reference list.

Personally I preferred Notepad++ for reasons I now forget so didn't

spend much time with TextPad after creating the syntax file.

The file shows the keywords in different groups /classes

The display colour of these groups are determined by TextPad

configuration settings for the language.Image attached.

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

 

Morten, thanks for that info. I think Windows UAC is getting in my way

as I get a failed to run error when launched from Eagle.

My guess is that ue needs to be in the PATH environmentvariable and

yours probably isnt. Try writing the full path. As long as you can start

ultraedit, I guess you should be able to launch it from Eagle.

I tried the full path - no go. When you run Ultraedit normally are you

prompted by UAC?

I have full access to my computer, so I cant compare with your scenario.

My installation of ue is in "C:\Program Files\IDM Computer

Solutions\UltraEdit\uedit64.exe" If I enter my full path with quotes on

the executable, it works too:

"C:\Program Files\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit\uedit64" %F -l%L -c%C

A little late to this thread (vacation), but I've been using UltraEdit for years with Eagle and I have wordfiles for ULP

and SCR files. I can't give any advice on launching in a windows environment as I'm lucky enough to not have to use

windows at work or home anymore.

The SCR wordfile allows code-folding for regions starting with '#+' and ending with '#-'; I've had some really long

eagle.scr files. Code folding, function, and variable recognition for ULP files work like it would with coding in C.

If you use these you will probably need to change your syntax coloring to match your style. These are current up to

Eagle 6. Eagle 7 only requires a few additions.
