Using Text Editor app

Hi,
I am have a long plain text doc and I would like to copy and paste it on to a rtf doc in Text Editor, however when I attempt this I am unsuccessful. Is this possible using the text editor? How do I acheive this. I would also like to understand what this app does but can't really find a clear explanation.
Thanks

The capabilities and features of TextEdit are intentionally both basic, and quite generic.
Many of the folks working with text extensively will tend toward the use of a full-on text editor such as the command line text editors vim or emacs, a GUI version of those editors such as MacVim or the emacs distros for OS X, or loading and using the (free) TextWrangler tool in place of TextEdit, or moving toward a purpose-built text-processing tool such as using Scrivener for writing or Xcode for programming.
For what you're probably up to here, I'd guess that TextWrangler is probably the best and most flexible approach. That tool can read and write all sorts of different file formats and encodings, and it's GUI based — as you'd probably prefer to use here.
Text files can and do have various formats and various contents — different file organizations and different text encodings, whether using RTF, or a text file containing Unicode or ASCII / ISO Latin 1 or various other character encodings, so without some idea of what you're dealing with here, a more specific answer is difficult.
"Simple" text files usually aren't, unfortunately.

Regarding using text editor in 11g for writting query

how can i use text editor in oracle 11g for writting query as in oracle 9i in which we use 'ed' command.

However I assume you are using sqlplus
If this is the case define the _EDITOR variable to one of the following as appropriate ....
DEFINE _EDITOR=notepad
DEFINE _EDITOR=vi
For more assistance use the database general forum.

Simultaneously watch film and use text editor?

I've been using an app called "Listen&Type" for years that allows me to open and control a film clip in a separate window and simultaneously call up a text editor for recording notes while watching the clip:
http://www.nattaworks.com/english.html
As you can see from their website, the app hasn't been updated in a while (and, judging by the last update of their website, probably never will be). My problem is that this app is PowerPC-based and I plan on upgrading to Mac OS X Lion when it comes out. But according to various reports, support for PowerPC apps via Rosetta will be dropped in Lion.
Does anyone happen to know of an alternative to this app, i.e. one that offers similar functionality?
Thanks.

Try searching on MacUpdate and CNET Mac Downloads. As for Lion compatibility check out THIS.

Using Text Editor control in Visual Compose

Hello,
I have added Text Editor control in a input form with certain dimensions, but when I preview the form the text edit field has different height than my layout view.
Do you know what am I doing wrong?
Marcelo

Hello marcelo,
When you check the configuration panel (on the upper- right side). There's an option in layout "fit content" this might be on auto, you could change it to actual size.

Simple text Editor App.. Saving Plain Text

Hi All,
I am trying to write my first text application in cocoa... I have got a working app from an Apple tutorial, however when saving, it uses the following:
Code:
- (NSData *)dataRepresentationOfType:(NSString *)aType
NSData *data;
[self setString:[textView textStorage]];
data = [NSArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:[self string]];
return data;
Which saves the content as not plain text. Is there anyway I can change the above to save as plain text ?
Any help / direction would be great! Thanks,

Perhaps something like this will work for you:
NSString *s = [textView string];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithBytes: [s UTF8String] length: [s length]];

How to use long text editor in Webdynpro

hi ,
I want to use text editor in webdynpro. I want to save the data in long text.
My requirement is the format of data should remain same(It should not get changed).
Thanks
SK

Hi,
use text editor uielement and bind it with a attribute of type string. convert this string into a table using function module
fill another internal table which is type compatible with table of SAVE_TEXT function module.
CONVERT_STRING_TO_TABLE. Call the function module SAVE_TEXT to save this text.
you need to find proper tdobject and tdid value which is to be passed in importing parameter "header".
similarly use FM "READ_TEXT" and convert the returned data into string using FM CONVERT_TABLE_TO_STRING.
Bind the returned table to an attribute of your context. The data will be displayed in the same format in which you entered it.
Thanks

Text Editor -options

Hi,
I have been using text editor control.
In this when we click load file button...an open prompt window appears..
there we will be finding Files of type... dropdown..containing values like text(.txt) file and All file types..
Is there any way to restrict this dropdown to single value..i mean to .txt file..should only be viewed omitting
All files option in dropdown..
i am using CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT..control...
Is there any option to do it...
Please Help me out.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandy.

Hi Sandy,
I don't think there is any method for this. As the dialog box opened is depending on your OS.
But, you can cross check the uploaded file for " .txt " using CP (contains pattern) function of string.
DATA: xl type string.
xl = '*.txt'.
IF not P_FILE CP xl. "P_FILE is name of file you will get.
"Error"
ENDIF.

Problem in reading the modified text from text editor

Hi all,
Im using text editor for saving the long text entered in the text editor as standard text in So10 tcode.
Here im facing an issue in reading the text from text editor. That is, when the text is entered by the user for first time, then the below method reads the text successfully.   But when i do some changes in the existing text present in the text editor and try to read, then the modified text is not returned by the below method.
I use the "CALL METHOD g_editor_ftext1->get_text_as_stream" to read the text. Given below is my code.
CALL METHOD g_editor_ftext1->get_text_as_stream
   IMPORTING
      text                   = ig_text_table
      is_modified            = g_xthead_updkz

      error_cntl_call_method = 2
      OTHERS                 = 3.
The return value of "is_modified" is always returned as 0.
Could anyone pls help how to read the modified text using the above method?

Check if this works and if it works then there should be some mistake in your coding

You are creating the object "g_editor" and catching the exception. I think create object for g_editor is failing and since you are not checking this it is causing the problem.
You can fix the code as follows:

CREATE OBJECT g_editor_container
EXPORTING
container_name = 'EDITOR'
EXCEPTIONS
cntl_error = 1
cntl_system_error = 2

ENDIF.

error_cntl_create = 1

Programmers text editor?

I'm looking for a programmers text editor. Two features is has to have are syntax highlighting and the ability to select, cut and copy columns (not just rows).
Any suggestions?
/Raj/

The two most commonly used text editors are BBEdit and TextMate.
BBEdit: http://www.barebones.com/
TextMate: http://macromates.com/
Both have free demos and support plug-in syntax coloring for any non-standard coding you might do. TextMate is cheaper (in most cases) and several hardcore coders I know swear by it.
If you don't want to spend money Text Wrangler is the free version of BBEdit and it does line numbers for sure and it does 4 character tab-stop columns but I'm not sure about column numbers exactly.
Hope that helps,

IPhone 200 text plan & text plus app data usage??

Hey everyone so i opted for the 200mb data plan and 200 texts, and i intend on using text plus app for most of my outgoing texts, but i wanted to know how much data that application uses? and does it need wifi or can i use 3G on it for texting other cell phones?

Personally I would go with the highest plan you can get (2gb). After one month check your usage. If you didn't go over 200 (which you probably will), switch to the lower plan.
