Clipboards

UltraEdit provides up to nine user clipboards for use with the Cut, Copy and Paste commands as well as the standard Windows Clipboard.  The active clipboard may be changed from the Edit Menu, or the Right Click context menu.  Additionally, Ctrl+1-9 will switch to the user clipboards and Ctrl+0 will switch to the Windows clipboard.

When changing the active clipboard the contents of the clipboards are not modified.  With the exception of the standard Windows Clipboard the contents of the clipboards are destroyed when UltraEdit is closed.

The active clipboard is shown in the Status Bar following the Line and Column indicator separated with a comma. 

Shortcut: CTRL+0-9

Undo & Redo command

Undo command

Use this command to reverse the last editing action, if possible.   UltraEdit supports multiple levels of undo (the specific number varies based on the items being undone).  Repeated Undo commands will attempt to step backwards through the previous commands and undo one at a time.  The Redo command may be selected to redo a command that has been undone.  If commands are undone and then a new command is performed, the Redo will no longer allow previously undone actions to be redone.

Shortcuts:         CTRL+Z or ALT+Backspace 

Redo command

The Redo command allows commands that have previously been undone with the Undo to be redone.    If commands are undone and then a new command is performed, the Redo will no longer allow previously undone actions to be redone.

Tips On Using The Favorite Files command

The Favorite Files feature allows a user to store the filenames of frequently opened files or favorite files that the user wishes to quickly reference and open in the future.  When the Favorite Files menu item is selected, a dialog is displayed that allows the user to open one or more of the favorite files and modify the list of favorite files.

The dialog shows a list of files that are currently in the favorite file list.  The following controls are used to manage the list:

Open

The open button opens the selected files from the list and closes the dialog.  Multiple files may be selected from the list and opened at once.  Any changes to the list are saved.  DOUBLE CLICK of any files in the file list will perform the open command.  If one of the selections is a directory, a file open dialog is shown initialized to the specified directory.

Close

The close button closes the dialog.  Any changes to the list are saved.

Add File

The add file button presents a file open dialog allowing the user to browse for a file to add to the list.  If a valid file is selected the file is added to the list.

Add Active File

The add active file button adds the filename of the active file in the editor to the file list.

+All Open Files

The +all open files button adds the filenames of all files in the editor to the file list.

Add Folder

The add folder button allows a user to browse for a folder and add this to the list.  This allows the user to quickly open files from a favorite folder.

Remove File

The remove file button removes any selected files from the file list.

Some Printing Tips, Shortcut and Usage Guide

Print command

Use this command to print a document.   This command presents a Print dialog, where you may specify the range of pages to be printed, the number of copies, the destination printer, and other printer setup options.

Shortcut:         CTRL+P

Print All Files command

This command prints all the open documents with the current page setup and printer settings.  To change the settings use the Page Setup or Print Setup commands from the File menu.

Print Preview command

Use this command to display the active document as it would appear when printed.  When you choose this command, the main window will be replaced with a print preview window in which one or two pages will be displayed in their printed format.  The print preview toolbar offers you options to view either one or two pages at a time; move back and forth through the document; zoom in and out of pages; and initiate a print job.

Print Setup command

Use this command to select a printer and a printer connection.  This command presents a Print Setup dialog, where you specify the printer and its connection. 

Set Printer Font command

The Set Printer Font menu item presents the Choose Font dialog that allows selection of different fonts and font sizes for use by the printer.  The selection made will apply only to the printer fonts.  Selection of the printer fonts unchecks the Mirror Display Font menu item on the Print Setup/Configuration submenu of the File menu.  Only fonts applicable to the printer will be available.

Mirror Display Font command

Font selections may be reset to default values by selecting the Reset Fonts menu item.

The Mirror Display Font menu item instructs UltraEdit to use the font that is selected for the screen on the printer.  This overrides any font selection already made for the printer with the Set Printer Font menu item.  If a font has not been specified using the Set Printer Font option, then the display font selected with the Set Font option will be used for printing and Mirror Display Font will be selected automatically.

How Does ASCII to UTF-8 command Works?

This function will convert the complete file from ASCII to UTF-8.  When the file is saved it will remain as UTF-8 unless specifically converted to another format by the user.  The status bar will show "U8-" in front of the file type (DOS/UNIX/MAC) to indicate the file is UTF-8.

Internally the file will be in UNICODE format and converted back when the file is saved to UTF-8 encoding.  In HEX mode the file will be shown with its current internal representation. 

How Does Unicode/ASCII/UTF-8 to UTF-8 command Works?

This function will convert the complete file from Unicode, ASCII or UTF-8 (Unicode representation internally) to UTF-8 encoding.  The file will however not be internally stored as Unicode and as such the multi-byte UTF-8 characters will display as upper ASCII characters and not the UTF-8 character they represent.  When the file is saved it will remain as UTF-8 unless specifically converted to another format by the user.  The status bar will NOT indicate this file format as it has no different structure from an ASCII file. 

How To Use ASCII to UTF-8 command In UE 10?

This function will convert the complete file from ASCII to UTF-8.  When the file is saved it will remain as UTF-8 unless specifically converted to another format by the user.  The status bar will show "U8-" in front of the file type (DOS/UNIX/MAC) to indicate the file is UTF-8.

Internally the file will be in UNICODE format and converted back when the file is saved to UTF-8 encoding.  In HEX mode the file will be shown with its current internal representation. 

How Does UTF-8 to ASCII command work?

This function will convert the complete file from UTF-8 to ASCII.  When the file is saved it will remain as ASCII unless specifically converted to another format by the user.  It will use the current code page for conversion.  It's possible that not all characters may be converted correctly.  In this case a default character (?) will be used.  

How Does Unicode/UTF-8 to UTF-8 command work?

This function will convert the complete file from Unicode or UTF-8 (ASCII representation) to UTF-8 (with the file internally as Unicode).  When the file is saved it will remain as UTF-8 unless specifically converted to another format by the user.  The status bar will show "U8-" in front of the file type indicator.

Internally the file will be in UNICODE format and converted back when the file is saved to UTF-8 encoding.  In HEX mode the file will be shown with its current internal representation. 

How To Use UNIX/MAC to DOS command?

Use this command to correct the end of line characters for display in UltraEdit and other text editors.

Some documents generated from UNIX-based systems (and some other systems) do not terminate each line with a carriage return and line feed.  UltraEdit requires all lines to be terminated with a carriage return and line feed character. 

This command searches the file for all carriage return and line feed characters.  If a carriage return character is found without an accompanying line feed character, a line feed character is added.  If a line feed character is found without a preceding carriage return character a carriage return character is inserted.  If a line feed is found preceding a carriage return the characters are reversed.

To convert a file to UNIX format, use the DOS to UNIX command.

To convert a file to MAC format, use the DOS to MAC command.  

How To Use Advanced Sort/Options?

This command allows you to set the sort options and perform a sort of the active file.  The sort is performed on the complete file unless a portion is selected.  If a portion is selected, just the selected portion will be sorted.  However ALL the lines selected will be sorted, not just selected columns if in column mode.  The UNDO command is not supported with sort operations.

When this option is selected, a dialog is presented with the following options:

Sort Order

Ascending                This sets the sort for ascending order ('a' to ' z', 1-9) and is the default.

Descending             This sets the sort for descending order (' z' to 'a', 9-1).

Remove Duplicates

If this is checked, then the associated radio button options Where All Selected Keys Match and Where Any Selected Keys Match become active and may be selected.  

If Where All Selected Keys Match is selected, duplicate strings/characters must exist in ALL active sort keys for a line to be considered a duplicate and be removed.  If Where Any Selected Keys Match is selected, a line is considered a duplicate if duplicate strings/characters exist in ANY of the active sort keys.  Active keys are designated using the checkboxes under the RD heading.  This allows the user greater flexibility in determining which defined keys are used for the Remove Duplicates sort operation.

Ignore Case

If the Ignore Case option is set, lines are considered identical if the characters are the same with the only difference being the case of them.  This option should be checked if you want the search to be insensitive to case, i.e. "CAT" is considered the same as "cat".  Do not check this option if the sort should consider "cAT" different from "cat".

Numeric Sort

If this is checked, the sort will perform a numeric sort on the selected columns.  Typically a sort is non-numeric and the values 1,11,111 would be sorted before 2,22,222 as 1 comes before 2.  If a numeric sort is selected, the values would be sorted in numeric order (1,2,11,12,111,222).  The numeric sort is not possible with a locale specific sort or when using the alternate sort method.  The numeric sort option should not be selected when sorting only alphabetical characters.

Sort Columns

Up to 4 sort keys may be selected to sort on.  Each sort key contains a range of columns that will be sorted.  The normal value for the range is from column 1 to 9216.

The start and end columns for unused keys should be set to 0.  If multiple keys are used, the sort order is based on the first key, followed by the second key, etc.

To sort by complete line set the start column to 1 and the end column to –1.  If any key has a value of –1 for the end column the sort will be from the start column to the end of line.  If any key is set to sort the complete line the rest of the sort keys will be ignored.

If the start column is 0 for any sort key (and not sorting by line) the start column will be the column of the cursor.

Sorting performance is better when less keys are used and when less columns are sorted on.

The sort uses memory mapped files and virtual memory.  In some cases it may be necessary to use an alternate sort that allows the user to specify where the temporary files will be used.  If this is the case the Alternate Sort not using Virtual Memory should be checked and only a single sort key may be used (and non-numeric).  This is exactly the same as earlier versions that only supported single keys.

Use Locale (Slower)

This specifies that the sort should be locale specific.  For some languages (e.g. German) this is required to change the default sort order.  The locale to be used can be specified under the Advanced Menu and Set Code Page/Locale.  When using this setting the sort may be slower than when not doing so.  A locale specific sort is not possible if Alternate Sort not using Virtual Memory is selected.

These options are saved between UltraEdit sessions and are used by the Sort File command.   

How To Use Compare Files command - UltraEdit 10?

The Compare Files menu item presents a dialog allowing the user to specify files/folders to be compared.  A separate window is shown displaying the compared files with different lines highlighted and marked to indicate the differences in the files/folders.

The file compare dialog allows the user to select the following options:

Compare Mode [1]

This option specifies if the items being compared are Files or Folders.

2/3 Way Compare [2]

This option is used to specify whether two or three files/folders will be compared.

File/Folder Compare [3]

The dropdowns/browse buttons in this section may be used to specify the files/folders to be compared.  The items displayed and the associated title will be updated based on the selection in the 2/3 Way Compare section above.

File Compare Options [4]

Compare temporary file to original

If this option is selected only the first file specified will be read and a copy of the modified state of the file will be compared against the disk copy.

Compare highlighted text

If this option is selected only the sections highlighted in the files specified fore comparison will be compared.

File Compare Type [5]

These options control whether the file comparison should be a Text compare, Binary compare, or Smart Binary compare.  A Text comparison is a line-by-line comparison of the characters displayed in the text file.  A Binary comparison is a byte-by-byte binary comparison of the content of the compared files.  A Smart Binary comparison will show where there are matching blocks of code even if they are offset by inserted/deleted data and don't match in a byte-by-byte comparison

File Compare Options [6]

These options allow the user to define "ignore" options for text compare or a recursive compare for folder compare.

Editor Tiling [7]

These options control how or if the compared files will be tiled in UltraEdit when they're presented for comparison in UltraCompare.

How To Use "Decrypt File" command in UE Studio 10?

This command may be used to decrypt the content of the active file (or specified files) using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm.  

Decrypt Files

When this option is selected, a dialog is displayed where the user is prompted to specify the file(s) to be decrypted and enter a passphrase to be used as the decryption key.  The passphrase is case-sensitive and may be between 8 and 32 characters in length and may include any characters which may be typed.

Users may specify the full path to a different file (or files) to be decrypted in the File(s) to Decrypt field.  The easiest way to do this would be to press the browse button beside the File(s) to Decrypt field which will present an Open dialog where users may navigate to the file(s) they wish to be decrypted.  If desired, multiple files may be decrypted by selecting them in the Open dialog (using the CTRL key and mouse or SHIFT key and mouse to select multiple items) and then pressing the Open button to pass the specified files back to the Decrypt File(s) dialog.  

If the files to be decrypted are specified manually, the full path must be specified and multiple files should be separated by a semi-colon and a space.  Encrypted files will be saved with a ".uenc" extension.

The user must then enter and confirm the passphrase to be used for decrypting the specified files.  The passphrase entered and confirmed for decryption must be an exact match for the passphrase entered during encryption.  

If Replace Decrypted File If Exists is selected during decryption, any plain text files that already exist in the specified path (where the encrypted files exist) with names and extensions matching the files selected for decryption would automatically be overwritten.

Where To Use Encrypt File Command?

This command may be used to encrypt the specified file (or specified files) using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm.  

Encrypt File

When this option is selected, a dialog is displayed where the user is prompted to specify the file(s) to be encrypted and enter a passphrase to be used as the encryption key.  The passphrase is case-sensitive and may be between 8 and 32 characters in length and may include any characters which may be typed.

By default the path for the active file will populate the File(s) to Encrypt field.  Users may specify the full path to a different file (or files) to be encrypted in this field.  The easiest way to do this would be to press the browse button beside the File(s) to Encrypt field which will present an Open dialog where users may navigate to the file(s) they wish to be encrypted.  If desired, multiple files may be encrypted by selecting them in the Open dialog (using the CTRL key and mouse or SHIFT key and mouse to select multiple items) and then pressing the Open button to pass the specified files back to the Encrypt File(s) dialog.  

If the files to be encrypted are specified manually, the full path must be specified and multiple files should be separated by a semi-colon and a space.  (Example: c:\sample\columnfind.txt; c:\sample\resource.h; c:\sample\main.cpp;"

The user must then enter and confirm the passphrase to be used for encrypting the specified files.  

PLEASE NOTE: The user MUST memorize or make note of the encryption passphrase specified.  The specified passphrase is not stored anywhere on the system or in the application files.  If this passphrase is forgotten/lost the encrypted data will be permanently unrecoverable.

If Replace Encrypted File If Exists is selected, then any encrypted files that already exist in the specified path with names and extensions matching the files selected for encryption would automatically be overwritten.

Once the specified file or multiple files are encrypted, an encryption status dialog will be displayed listing the files that are encrypted if the output window is not currently visible.  If the output window is visible, these items would be displayed in the output window.

Save As To FTP With UltraEdit Studio 10

Use this command to save an open document/file via FTP.  This command presents a custom dialog that allows selection of the site/account to browse.

The Accounts [1] button may be pressed to open the FTP Account Manager where new accounts may be specified.  A new account must be configured for each site to be connected to as each site may have unique settings.  

A list of configured accounts is shown in the center dropdown [2] and any of the configured accounts may be selected.  Once the desired account is selected, the Connect [3] button must be pressed to initiate the connection to the server.  When a connection is established, this will be replaced with a Disconnect [3] button which may be used to terminate the connection.  

Pressing the Return to Initial Directory [4] button will navigate to the directory initially loaded for the active session.

Pressing the Parent Directory [5] button will navigate to the parent folder of the active directory.  Pressing the Refresh [6] button refreshes (rereads) the directory information from the host server.

Double-clicking on any of the directories shown in the list will attempt to change to the specific directory.  Additionally the Change Directory [7] combobox may be used to type in a directory to change to.  This will automatically store a list of all paths typed into it.

The directory list displayed may be filtered to show a subset of files by specifying a filter in the Filter [8] text field.  The Filter text field supports Perl regular expressions as well as standard wildcards.  This will automatically store a list of all filters typed into it.  This list may also be sorted by clicking on any of the column headings [9] for the list (Name, Size, Date, Type).

New directories may be created on the host server by right-clicking in the list and selecting Make Directory from the context menu [10].  Additionally the Hide Directories [11] checkbox will cause directories not to be shown.

By default the Save [13] text field will be populated with the name of the file currently active in the editor.  To save a file, navigate to the desired directory on the host server and click on the Save [14] button.  If the intent is to replace a file already on the server, it should be selected in the list.  Its name will populate the Save [13] text field and clicking on the Save [14] button will initiate the transfer.  The transfer progress will be shown as the file is transferred.  

While an operation is in progress a warning will be shown if an attempt to start another operation is made, or canceling the dialog is requested.  While files are being transferred, or a site is being connected to, the dialog will show the current status [15].  The transfer will be executed using the specified transfer type [12] (ASCII or Binary).  Binary transfers the file byte-for-byte with no modification.  ASCII causes the file to be appropriately converted for line terminations between different systems.

By default after the file is transferred the dialog will be closed if the option Close Dialog after Transfer [16] is set.  This option may be cleared to have the dialog remain open.

If there are problems connecting to the server, it may be useful to select Show FTP log in output window under the FTP section in the Configuration dialog.  This will display a log of the session showing all commands sent to and data received from the FTP server in the output window.  This can provide helpful diagnostic information and the contents of this window may be copied using the clipboard.

The context menu in this dialog includes the following options:

Make Directory	creates a new directory on the host server.  No checking of the name or syntax is performed.  Any errors are reported back from the host server.
Delete	deletes a remote file or directory on the host server
Rename	renames a remote file or directory on the host server
Permissions	allows the file permissions to be set on a remote file.  This will only work on servers that recognize the FTP "Site" command chmod.  Typically this would only be UNIX/Linux servers.

How / Where To Open From FTP?

Use this command to open a file via FTP.  This command presents a custom dialog that allows selection of the site/account to browse.  

The Accounts [1] button may be pressed to open the FTP Account Manager where new accounts may be specified.  A new account must be configured for each site to be connected to as each site may have unique settings.  

A list of configured accounts is shown in the center dropdown [2] and any of the configured accounts may be selected.  Once the desired account is selected, the Connect [3] button must be pressed to initiate the connection to the server.  When a connection is established, this will be replaced with a Disconnect [3] button which may be used to terminate the connection.  

Pressing the Return to Initial Directory [4] button will navigate to the directory initially loaded for the active session.

Pressing the Parent Directory [5] button will navigate to the parent folder of the active directory.  Pressing the Refresh [6] button refreshes (rereads) the directory information from the host server.

Double-clicking on any of the directories shown in the list will attempt to change to the specific directory.  Additionally the Change Directory [7] combobox may be used to type in a directory to change to.  This will automatically store a list of all paths typed into it.

The directory list displayed may be filtered to show a subset of files by specifying a filter in the Filter [8] text field.  The Filter text field supports Perl regular expressions as well as standard wildcards.  This filter only affects the listing downloaded from the server and displayed in the integrated FTP client.  This will automatically store a list of all filters typed into it.  This list may also be sorted by clicking on any of the column headings [9] for the list (Name, Size, Date, Type).

New directories may be created on the host server by right-clicking in the list and selecting Make Directory from the context menu [10].  Additionally the Hide Directories [11] checkbox will cause directories not to be shown.

To open a file, either double-click on the file or select it and click on the Open [14] button.  If the full path to the file to be opened is known, this may be typed in the Open [13] text field and navigation to the file is not required.  The transfer progress will be shown as the file is transferred.  

While an operation is in progress a warning will be shown if an attempt to start another operation is made, or canceling the dialog is requested.  While files are being transferred, or a site is being connected to, the dialog will show the current status [15].  The transfer will be executed using the specified transfer type [12] (ASCII or Binary).  Binary transfers the file byte-for-byte with no modification.  ASCII causes the file to be appropriately converted for line terminations between different systems.  Depending on the FTP server/client, an ASCII transfer may corrupt the file as this is a 7-bit transfer.  For this reason, Binary is the preferred transfer type.

By default after the file is retrieved and open the dialog will be closed if the option Close Dialog after Transfer [16] is set.  This option may be cleared to have the dialog remain open.

If there are problems connecting to the server, it may be useful to select Show FTP log in output window under the FTP section in the Configuration dialog.  This will display a log of the session showing all commands sent to and data received from the FTP server in the output window.  This can provide helpful diagnostic information and the contents of this window may be copied using the clipboard.

Delete	deletes a remote file or directory on the host server
Rename	renames a remote file or directory on the host server
Permissions	allows the file permissions to be set on a remote file.  This will only work on servers that recognize the FTP "Site" command chmod.  Typically this would only be UNIX/Linux servers.
