???
So you're thinking I should go with the other title? And not sure what
I can grep awk means. But speaking of grep, let me ask you a question. I, accidentally, ended up downloading all these text editors in Xubuntu last night. (I thought I was just checking the size of the downloads.) So I've got like 6 text editors now. I like Kate and Bluefish and Medit seems okay. But this one jEdit is more of an IDE and I like it because it shows all the surrounding print in red when there's a coding mistake (like a missing end tag or something), but it's nearly impossible to copy and paste from the text into the "find" box for "find & replace." I think that may be because they're talking about "strings" going in there, or it may just be buggy (I Googled and some guys were having problems with it too but that didn't help ultimately.). Any idea what might be going on? Or, alternatively, would you happen to know of any Ubuntu text editors that are good about letting you know when there's a coding mistake? Thanks! |

Greg
I run mostly vanilla(Gnome) Ubuntu, not the KDE flavor (I did try it a while back) . I use gedit for basic editing and Libre office for other stuff. I am not an Author. I am not a (modern) coder. I just peek from time to time ![]() Sigil does what (and is closest with the [I]feel[/I I want)] I need (with Calibre catching up fast). I use the term feel because it is more about matching your thinking and working style than being 'better'. |

Do these sites help you?
http://www.jedit.org/users-guide/search-replace.html http://www.jedit.org/users-guide/selection.html If you are in search for another editor I would recommend "Geany" that is easy and lightweight. |

P.S. You sure seem to have picked up a lot of knowledge with just peeking from time to time. |

IMHO There is no need to load yourself down wit every editor there is. Pick a couple for specific tasks, and only change if you see one that really does what you NEED. Fore me: Win / Linux Notepad++/Gedit Libre Office/Libre office Sigil/Sigil Calibre/Calibre Hmm maybe there is a pattern here ![]() |

I've installed it two times "from scratch" following these instructions:
https://code.google.com/p/sigil/wiki/RunningFromSource I've found these instructions very concise. The only command that they didn't give verbatim was to make a directory in "/opt" for Qt5.1.0. |
