Is text edit compatible with pc?

Just curious.
Thanks.

Although basic, TextEdit will open a 'txt' file from a PC. It will also open an RTF (Rich Text Format) and even a Word document, although some of the formatting may be lost.
TextEdit can save to RTF, Word and HTML formats, and if you click Format > Make Text Plain, you can also save as a .txt file.
So yes, TextEdit is compatible with a PC

  • Java edition compatible with standard edition?

    Hi
    I have a database created using Java edition 3.2.44
    I want to write an application in C++ which reads this database using the standard Berkeley DB (possibly at the same time as the java application is also accessing them). Are the database files compatible?
    I'm not too hopeful since the the database files are named something like 00000000.jdb and je.lck.
    Any help appreciated
    Nick

    Hi Nick,
    This FAQ entry addresses this question:
    [http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/faq/je_faq.html#2|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/faq/je_faq.html#2]
    (a small additional information to this entry is that DPL API has been introduced for BDB as well in 4.7.25)
    As explained, the on-disk format for the database files is different. You should dump the database created with JE (using the DbDump/com.sleepycat.je.util.DbDump utility: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbDump.html|http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbDump.html]) and load it using BDB before opening it in a a program using one of the BDB APIs (using the db_load utility: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/utility/db_load.html|http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/utility/db_load.html] )
    If you face any issues with dumping/loading the database let me know.
    Regards,
    Andrei

  • Is Oracle 10g Express Edition compatible with Windows 2000 advanced Server

    I have installed Oracel 10g Express Edition on windows 2000 advanced Server, but it is not working properly, but when i installed it on Windows 2000 Professional, then it is working properly, Does anybody know why this is happening. If anybody know why this is happening, please tell me and also tell me how can i install Oracle10g xe in Windows 2000 advanced server.

    There should be no issues. A few possible reasons you are running into problems:
    - installation using a domain administrator (it works best using a local admin);
    - firewalls or anti-virus software or other port blocking mechanisms;
    - DHCP resets;
    However, unless you tell us exactly the symptoms we are only guessing.

    it's compatible.
    the tech specs indicate ade will be running in 32bit mode, not 64 bit.

  • How to get out of tex edit mode with a single button?

    Hey,

    Something interesting I just noticed: Double-clicking outside a text box can have different effects according to context.
    With the Pointer tool selected, double-clicking on a text box allows you to edit the text. In this "quick edit" mode, double-clicking outside the text box will return you to the Pointer tool.
    If the Text tool has been selected manually, double-clicking outside a text box will create a new text box.

  • Seeking: Compatible text editing application for iPad/Mac/Windowsystem

    Hi,
    I am trying to locate a useful text editing app.
    That is compatible to be used across iPad/Mac and sometimes on a Windows based Laptop.
    I have been using both openoffice, and Textedit(Mac). Which I am using through USD Disk but Openoffice documents dont work on iPad, and as to Textedit documents dont appear on iPad as on my Mac!
    Anyone, using a Textediting app on their Mac, that makes the document appear exactly the same as on their Ipad?
    At this stage I would prefer an app that is for free, to play around with...

    I have been trying several of the documents text editing applications! But most are not compatible across i.e. iPad, Mac, Windows-systems.
    As I indicated I have converted an "openoffice" edited text into Mac's "Textedit" application everything looked simple and great on my Mac. But, on my iPad the documents didnt look identical. Also, wasnt fitting the iPad screen either, and most lines jumped few lines up or down, pictures were dislocated...
    In case you know an text edit application, that is able to make documents look exactly the same as they look across iPad / Mac / Windows. In that case I would very much appreciate if you could name me that application!

  • Help with printing text to Text Edit

    -- Here is a applescript that generates prime numbers up to a certain number. I tried to get the script to print out every number up to the number defined in a text edit document. I got a -1700 error that says (error "Can’t make result of 3 into type Unicode text." number -1700 from result of 3 to Unicode text). If anyone has any help that they can offer me it will be greatly appreciated.
    Heres the Script
    local min, max, neverZero, maxDiv, divTry, res
    set {min, max} to {1, 503}
    set res to {}
    if min = 1 then set min to 2
    if min = 2 then set {res, min} to {{2}, 3}
    if min mod 2 = 0 then set min to min + 1
    repeat until min > max
        set maxDiv to intsqrt(min)
        set {neverZero, divTry} to {true, 3}
        repeat until divTry > maxDiv
            if min mod divTry = 0 then
                set neverZero to false
                exit repeat
            end if
            set divTry to divTry + 2
        end repeat
        if neverZero then
            set res to res & min
            log min
            set resultinfo to "" & result of min
            tell application "TextEdit"
                activate
                set nme_file to ""
                set the_file to (open for access nme_file with write permission)
                write "" & resultinfo to the_file
                write return & resultinfo to the_file starting at eof
                close access the file
            end tell
        end if
        set min to min + 2
    end repeat
    on intsqrt(N)
        return (do shell script "echo 'sqrt (" & N & " )' | /usr/bin/bc")
    end intsqrt

    You're confusing two different steps.  If you want to write the data to an open textedit window, you build a text string of the integers and then write it out to the window like this:
    tell application "TextEdit"
              set text of document 1 to text_string
    end tell
    After that you'll have to save the document.  On the other hand, if you want to write directly to the file on disk, don't use a textedit tell block - just write to the file at the script level (i.e. your code looks correct, but shouldn't be in a tell block).  then you'll have to convince the open textedit window to refresh (which might be a bit tricky).

  • Adobe photoshop lightroom 4.pkg trying to open with text edit -- how do i open as application?

    downloaded trial for mac, all requirements are met, but cannot get download to open as an application, mac is trying to open with text edit; downloaded several times, every time the disk utility opens

    The .dmg was opening with Disk Utility, where it would verify and then mount the "Lightroom 4.0" disc image on my desktop.  Clicking on this opened the folder, which contained the .pkg file, but it wouldn't work (opening with TextEditor). I changed the .dmg file to open with DiskImageMounter and thought I would have to manually change the .pkg file as well, but once the .dmg file opened with DiskImageMounter, the Lightroom 4 file opened with it as well and I got the installation screen right away.  Installation from that point on went as usual.  It was a very frustrating experience, but now I know where to look when a file won't install.  But as for your question, they both opened with DiskImageMounter.

  • How do i add a an editable text area along with a basic shape?

    hiee
    Thank u guys for replying to my previous query.I got the solution.
    Now ,my problem is, whenever i am drawing a new shape on the panel i want to add an editable text area along with the shape so that the shape can be given a userdefined name(something like Rational Ross).
    I am using g.drawString() but with that i can only add a static string.
    How can i add a JTextField or JTextArea along with the shape??
    Thanking u guys in advance.
    anvesha.

    It is considered standard procedure to acknowledge people's replies in the corresponding thread.
    As for your current problem, you'll have to make sure that the component you're subclassing is at least a Container. A JPanel could be a good pick. Set the layoutManager to null. Add your JTextField to your JPanel and use myTextField.setBounds(x, y, width, height) to place it whereever you want.

  • I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    That is because you don't have a web server configured and running to serve the html page. In order to see the page in a browser you need to access it using a url similar to http://localhost/~yourUserName if you are serving the page from your user account.
    Prior to Mountain Lion you could go into web sharing and turn on the web server. With Mountain Lion there is no option, other than using terminal, to turn on the web server. The web sharing menu item has been removed in Mountain Lion. Apache is still on your computer but it will take a little searching these forums or the Internet to find how to turn it on.
    If you want a graphic user interface to turn on/off the Apache server you could download and install a server application like xampp, http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. I use this and it works well.

  • Text editing bug: conflict with Facebook widget

    And just when I thought this program couldn't be MORE frustrating. The simplest of text editing features flatly refused to cooperate. Double click, triple click, with the direct selection tool selected. Nope won't select a goddam thing. Turned out to be a conflict with a Facebook widget I had applied on a master page.
    ATTN: bug department!

    Thank you so much for replying.
    Yes I have removed and reinstalled WMP.
    I had good results with the PD6 application installed on the default path onto the C: drive with the one exception that if the application was launched by accident and the user data path was not available, the PD6 application would blow away my custom user path registry settings. Now that I know what they are I have made a .reg file to repair my registry to my desired user data paths.
    Installing the application on the removable drive appeared to help prevent me from launching the application by accident and overwriting my registry with default user paths.
    So which is the less of the two evils?
    If the application directory is not available, windows media player still tries to launch the .msi for installing PD6.
    If I install the application to the C: drive but the user data to the removable drive, launching the PD6 application without the user data drive will still corrupt my registry settings for a user data path.
    Both these issues seem like a logical (if not easy) fix that should be done in the PD6 application and installation package. I mean really, cannot anyone tell me why windows media player is checking the PD6 application directory? Why in PD4 did we have an option control for setting the user data path from the PD4 application? Why is this option not in the PD6 application, just the installer?
    I am given a choice during installation to move the user data to another non default location. Why else would this be provided if not to accommodate my kind of request to store the user data into an alternate location other than “My Document”. Certainly Palm is not trying to force the users on how to protect and store their personal data?

  • I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

    I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

    The easiest way is to keep Textedit in the Dock and drag the .cue file(s) to the Dock icon.
    You can also create an Automator Service:
    Open Automator
    Select: Service
    Select Service receives selected [files or folders] in [Finder]
    and:
    Then select one or more .cue file, right click (or Control-click) on the selection to display the contextual menu. Scroll to the bottom of the contextual menu and select Services -> (what you named the Service).
