In the Options\Tools dialog, I created with Add a new entry, assigned F1 as shortcut and entered the following command: C:\Windows\hh.exe D:\Dev\Engines\A8.30.1\3dgs_manual.chm I just want to let the Windows CHM viewer show the above listed .chm file. In the Windws command line, I successfully can open it either with just entering the path to the .chm as well as using explicitely the hh.exe. PN always says > "C:\Windows\hh.exe D:\Dev\Engines\A8.30.1\3dgs_manual.chm" > Failed to create process: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden. > Process Exit Code: 0 > Time Taken: 00:00 What am I doing wrong?

What tools should I add by default and why? The obvious: Default Browser Set for HTML files to view them. Run Set for batch/cmd files, to run them and capture output. What else should be configured? Should PN include compiler/run configurations for languages even though the user may not have those tools installed? Adding tools with GUI window (e.g Serial Terminal) - Can't see window (gock) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5219#post-7793 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 08:13:37 +0000 gock 7793@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ Hi I am trying to use the tools feature. I current have a couple of tools shortcuts with a couple of makefiles, works great for compiling code etc. But I want to add a tool to open up a GUI window. In my case, open a serial port terminal. I don't seem to be able to get tools to work when a GUI program is involved. It just hangs until i go "Stop Tools". For example I would like to use Tera Term and run: ttermpro /BAUD=9600 /C=7 I added the tool to do this, it seems to run the command line no problems, but the GUI window never shows up, the process appears in Task Manager, but the Window is invisible. It also happens with RealTerm, another serial port terminal. Any tips on what I should do? Would this even be possible? Thanks in advanced. can not add tools (tinka) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5186#post-7722 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 01:36:01 +0000 tinka 7722@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ I use a multi-language version, but can not add tools to the Tools menu bar (for example: make all), add the tool does not appear in the Tools menu bar.But in WINAVR can own PN2 .Hope to get a reply as soon as possible！！ Thanks！ How do you edit project properties?

Sort tool using Perl one-liner (waz) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/667#post-2407 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:37:25 +0000 waz 2407@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ I made this simple tool to sort lines: Command: %(CYGWIN_ROOT)\bin\perl.exe Parameters: -we 'print sort <STDIN>' Pass my selection to this tool using Standard Input = true Capture Output? = Replace my selection. It partly works, but gobbles some (or all) of the lines. I've played around with different ways of doing it in Perl, all with the same result. The Perl works as it should when run from a Cygwin shell. Has anyone seen anything like this before, or can offer a solution? Do you think it's a PN bug, or have I done something silly?

I got a non standard compiler output, which I want to parse in the output window. The compiler throws errors like: "abc.c", line 67: Serious error: expected ';' after command - inserted before '}' where I constructed the parse string "%f", line %l in order to get this string parsed. If I check the parsed string in the settings window, it seems to me, as if the parsing itself is working, but when I make a double click on the highlighted line in the output window, I got the following error in the status bar: 'Could not locate abc.c. if the file exists, see help under "Output" to fix this' I created the project using the 'Magic Folder' function (but also added an erroneous file the standard way, but this did not remove the error). The layout of the project is the following: \prjname\environment : Here are the PN's project files \prjname\src : Here are the source code files in different sub directories \prjname\make : Here are batch files with compiler/linker calls The root of the project (in the project window)is set to: prjname In the settings dialog of the project tool function, I set the working directory to: c:\prjname\make and the execution command to: c:\prjname\make\make.bat Can someone help me to fix this error, because I think that this editor is cool and it exactly fits the needs I have for editing my project.

I have set up perl in Options . . . Tools (not as a project tool, but as a global one.) I think I have set it up correctly, launching in the current directory, and using the file name parameter (with extension.) If I choose to capture output, then perl seems to run, but only a few random lines of what should be a couple hundred lines appear in the output window, separated by a lot of blank space. If I choose not to capture output, then the script seems to run OK in a command prompt box, but the output goes by so quickly, and then the box closes, so I can't be entirely sure. All my LaTeX tools run properly from PN2, so I think I know how to set up tools properly. Any suggestions on how to get perl to run correctly?

Character Set Conversion (mirkosoft) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/275#post-989 Fri, 24 Aug 2007 15:21:30 +0000 mirkosoft 989@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ I found a great tool to use together with pnotepad: "Character Set Converter" by Benjamin Kalytta. This tool lets you do several character set conversions. I use it with the following configuration (go to Tools -> Options -> Tools): Name: Convert Encoding Command: [Path to]/charsc.exe Parameters: "%d%f" /scs=%? /dcs=%? /replace Shortcut: STRG + ALT + E (or whatever you like) Using this configuration, it will ask you for a source and a destination character set and then convert the currently opened file. For available encodings, refer to the manual. Some times one needs to reload the file before seeing the changes. You can use my script at <a href="http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/267" rel="nofollow">http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/267</a> to rapidly reload the current file.

I'm new to programming and I do NOT want to spend an eternity learning the software I use to write software ;) I started using TextPad because it was recommended in the book I am using, and it was nice, but I love Programmers Notepad! Your website, the forum, the software, the icons, everything is minimalistic and I love it! Clean, usable, and powerful...perfect. I just need two little buttons to make it 100%. I need compile and run buttons that will open the javac and java commands in the command window on Windows XP so that I can test my Java programms from the promt without having to leave Programmers Notepad to do it. I noticed there is a way to add user tools, but I am not sure how to do this. Anyone have it set up this way that would be willing to share the steps with me?

I have a javac and java tool set up. What I need is something similar for running g++ via Cygwin, and the resulting .out file. The tools command is for cmd.exe, right?

PS. I tried installing PNPad under WinE on Linux ( winehq.org ), but it didn't work. i think the error i get is something about the sys having a hard time w/ the C+ library and compiling error (if i recall correctly, as i'm on WinXP presently). i'd love to have it available to me there (i know that might sound silly w/ all the great linux text-editors, etc...) that's just an FYI-- i wouldn't expect you to care about the WinE-o's. :) How do you create an XML file for 'tools' (jfunk) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/158#post-578 Fri, 19 Jan 2007 07:12:48 +0000 jfunk 578@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ Are there instructions on creating your own XML file in the tools folder?

I wouldn't of thought it would take much doing if there isn't one out there. I guess, ideally, you just need to be able to specify 2 files to a tool that would process the transformation and pass the response back to the output window. Couple this with the 'auto-closing' tag feature I understand is currently being developed, and I think that you will have an excellent XML / XSLT development environment.
