Text editor for .dvb?

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi all,

Does anybody know of a text editor capable of handling the code area of .dvb
files

The ability to cut & paste from multiple open files, without having to
create .bas file first would be fantastic.

David,

You can cut from any Windows application (including Help files) and paste
them directly into the VBAIDE modules. You may also open as many DVB files
as you like and do the same thing. I not sure what you are referring to when
you would need to first paste the code into a .bas file first. Elaborate?

Textpad found at www.textpad.com is a great text editor for those type of
needs. It has syntax templates for vb, lisp, c, html, java and more. It
has foreign language modules and spell checkers. I can't praise it enough.
I've been a registered user since version 1.1, it' now at version 4.1. I've
only had to pay one upgrade of $10.00 in the last 4 of 5 years.

Really, can you explain how, 'cause I haven't got a clue how to open more
than one DVB file at time?

I wish to have 2 dvb files open at the same time so I can cut & paste
between them.

The only way around this, (as far as I know) is to export one of them to a
.bas file which seems to be ASCII compatible & therefore able to be loaded
into a text editor. That process is laborious.

How that clarifies my problem

Regards

Dave Fox

Hi Volker

You're right, Textpad is a great text editor, but I'm not sure it can handle
the code within a .dvb file.

If you know of a way, could you let me know?

Regards

Dave Fox

Yes I think it is only a A2K command. If I remember right you may be out of
luck as I think R14 did only load one at a time.
Sorry

Hi David,
One way to do it is to open two sessions of AutoCAD, and load a different
project in the second session. You can then copy, cut, and paste between
the IDEs.
Hope this helps,

- Adam
