Solve : Notepad2? |
|
Answer» Hi, Notepad2 is an open-source text editor for Microsoft Windows, released under a BSD software license. It is written by Florian Balmer using the Scintilla editor component, and it was first publicly released in April 2004. Balmer based Notepad2 on the principles of Microsoft Notepad: small, fast, and usable. ... Special test formatting requires saving a file in a format like RTF or HTML, but not a plain TXT document. A list of test editors: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_text_editors Hi Geek, All above my head I'm afraid, think I'll revert back to Windows Notepad. Regards, DaveQuote from: davecabezo on July 08, 2011, 02:43:05 AM I can't find out how to underline text.That is because it cannot. Neither can notepad.davecabezo. For making letters, pamphlets, hand0outs and simple presentations you can use Wordpad to create and edit RTF FILES, which are similar to Word DOC files. Word pad and do a visible page with bold, italic and underline barbecue the file format is more than simple plain text. And it will print on any printer. Try Wordpad. It will do what you want without being too much. And you already have it. Look in Accessories, the same area where found Notepad. Many thanks, DaveAutomatic source code formatting may be something very handy, of course. But adding this to Notepad2 would mean a lot of extra effort on incorporating and maintaining the required libraries, and this would increase the size of the Notepad2 executable file. Also, to be complete, this would have to be offered for any syntax scheme supported by Notepad2. And, a big deal of additional user interfaces might be necessary to make the many options of the source code formatters available to the user.EMACS!OK, Where would I find INFO on what your talking about but it must start off in simple terms. I learnt in my youth to program in Basic then did a little in Pascal. What do these scripts etc do? I know that Notepad can be used to give instructions to other programs but what is the language etc.etc. Also while I'm here, I'm retired and was thinking of learning to help on the forum re malware removal, can you point me in the right direction, Regards, daveClik Here...Quote from: davecabezo on July 10, 2011, 11:06:44 AM Also while I'm here, I'm retired and was thinking of learning to help on the forum re malware removal, can you point me in the right direction.Go to SuperDave's profile and send him a PM regarding training for malware and virus removal.I said EMACS as a inside joke! There is, in fact, an EMACS for Windows. Originally is was, and still is, and important part of the UNIX stuff. Heavy stuff! If your interest is mostly using a PC for parasitical things, like writing spam letters and making grandiose business reports, consider Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and then other members of the Microsoft Office suite. Yeah, I am kind sarcastic. But in the present economic environment it is dog eat dog. People see technology as a way to get ahead, even at the expense of others. Of course, present company excepted. Just adding some humor. Scripts a re just ways of d something that is to tedious to do by hand. That is a broad generalization. An example would be a script, or rule, the would move all SPAM from your inbox when you get new email. You can customize the mechanism already in the email program by just making of some simple rules that fit your needs. Technically, that is no a full script, but it is along the concept of making a thing that will automatically do something that OTHERWISE would take your time if it had not been done by the E-mail application program. If you like to dip into more of what can be done at a lower level of control, you may wish to study one of the general purpose script or interpretive programs. A very good choice of such a tool is called Python. It is simple and powerful and widely used. http://www.python.org/ But, as Quantos said, the need on this forum is for virus experts.Dave Clark, you already asked this on Bleeping Computer. And got told the answer. Anyhow, text editors don't do stuff like underlining. Not the way you are thinking. You want a word processor.

Heavy stuff!REAL Unix users use VI. Emacs is a great operating system, just lacking a decent text editor. (this is even more hilarious because I've hardly used either emacs or VI) |
