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

[Simon Lovell]

You must exit the editor so that the batch file can change the file back to its original name.  The main thing that annoys me about doing it this way is that it adds another task to your taskbar, and my recollection is that it makes it possible to lose your whole script, otherwise a problem of yester year.  Perhaps the last part wouldn't be too much of a problem if the original file were left in place.

If you do decide to go down this path, best option is to map your editor's save & close key to whatever you would've used for save.  Obviously, you must be able to disable openning another file in the same instance of the editor for this approach to be usable.

Put it into a bat file and rename the tempfile why haven't I thought of that.
But can OpenROAD figure that out on its way back ?

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.
echo ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ»
echo º º
echo º Do not close this window !!! º
echo º º
echo º OpenROAD will close this window when editing has finished. º
echo º º
echo ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ

rem Change your editior here...
c:\Progra~1\EditPl~1\EditPlus.exe %9 -cursor %2 "%II_TEMPORARY%\%6.%4"
copy "%II_TEMPORARY%\%6.%4" %1

echo.

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.

Kim
