[Openroad-users] external Editor, continuation on Ians mail

[Colin Hay]

We get around this (using EditPlus in this example) by

Setting II_WINDOWEDIT to C:\Progra~1\EditPl~1\ed.cmd %f %l %e %t -n

ed.cmd contains the following which renames the temp file to a more meaningful one


@echo off
cls
color F1

rem Invoke System Editor with Script Name in WindowTitle
rem ----------------------------------------------------

echo ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ»
echo º                            º
echo º  OpenROAD - Edit Script.   º
echo º                            º
echo ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ
echo.
echo OR File  - %1
echo Line No. - %2
echo Edit Cmd - %3
echo New File - %6.%4

if exist "%II_TEMPORARY%\%6.%4" del "%II_TEMPORARY%\%6.%4"
rename %1 "%6.%4"

echo.
echo Editor activated...

echo ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ»

echo º  Do not close this window !!!                                º

I have started using SCite.
It is not as fancy as Ian describes, but it gives some syntax checking and context coloring.
The problem with external editors is the save before compile that can be quite irritating.
I have also used vim, but I like scite better.

A problem is the way that OpenROAD name the file extension.
.e01 .e02 .e03 ...

The dynamic part should be in the name and not the extension. That will make it much easier to integrate with external editors, because they often choose language-config based on the extension.
