Mike et al,



In a posting a while ago you said you were working on a replacement for the System Editor. Any news on that?



I have replied with a wish for a comment/uncomment feature. And a wish for the possibility of doing a [i]word[/i] search.



Unless you've scrapped the project I have [i]another[/i] suggestion for a very useful feature: Regular expressions in Search and Replace.



Actually I'd be thrilled if I just could search and replace [i]tabs[/i] and [i]CRLFs[/i] along with the visible characters!

<QUOTE>Hi all



While we are about it, I wouldn't mind one of those code completer thingies like most of the current editors (delphi, jbuilder etc) have.  With automatic indenting ie if you typed "if thingy then" and pressed return - it would automagically indent the next line.  



And one of those format massagers, that would go over an old program and shape it for you. 



And a compiler thingy that warned if you hadn't assigned a variable before using it (ie you spelt something wrong) or a warned you if you tried to get a value from a window control and spelt the name of the window control wrong (ie refered to a window control that wasn't defined on the window/form). 



All this stuff would need a set up options list so you could turn it on or off or set preferences (like how big a tab indent is).

Hi, I'd like a multivalue editor as in CTRL-E in Arev. Oh yeah, and a packet of biscuits please.

<QUOTE>Oystein,



You can search and replace on tabs now.  Put a tab character into an open record in the system editor - select it and then copy it to the clipboard.



Now when you use the replace dialog you can paste the tab character in there.

<QUOTE>Sprezzatura,



Neat!



I do similar things other places in and outside of OI, but it never occurred to me it would work in Sys Ed's Search dialog.



Now if I string all the lines of my programs into one, semicolon-delimited line, we've solved the CRLF problem too! :-)
