I find ED has a command to let me save files I type. But how is it you load other Euphoria files?

To load/open/create a euphoria file in the current window: 1. press and release the escape key 2. press the letter n 3. either type the name of a euphoria file you want to create or type the path to and name of an existing file on the topline entry bar. To conduct the same operations in a new window: 1. press and release the escape key 2. press the letter "c", then the letter 'n" 3. either type the name of a euphoria file you want to create or type the path to and name of an existing file on the topline entry bar. While learning ED, it might be a good idea to keep a copy of ed.doc open in a separate window for reference. The documentation for "ed.ex" is available form the help menu - "esc" & "h" & "e".

Does this mean you have to memorize all the filenames of the files you want to try out while learning Euphoria? As well as the pathnames. Actually, I don't think it really tells you what pathname it is currently using. So you need an absolute pathname, unless you are sure where it is now.

You can list files in any directory from ed by "esc" & "d" and "dir" or "ls" if your using Linux. Console/Non-GUI editors can be frustrating to learn on the front end. If you are using Linux I can show you how to add access to the EuGTK file selector from Irv's Library with several short lines of euphoria code. Otherwise, there is Carl White's version of David Cuny's DOS editor and numerous Euphoria Windows editors available from the User's Contributions page. Regards, Ken Rhodes

A while back I made this suggestion to Rob regarding file browsing and selecting from Ed.ex: I'd like for RDS to consider adding a simple directory browse and file select feature to ed.ex. The feature I am thinking of would be implemented in a fashion similar to the "file_history" feature which uses the arrow keys to scroll thru a file history. Essentially, whenever an attempt is made to load a directory path without a filename into the editor, the editor would read the contents of the directory into a sequence with the top file in the directory displayed on the message bar. If the file is an editable file it would be loaded by hitting the enter key. If the user desires to browze the current directory he would be able to do so with the arrow keys in the same manner as the file_history can now be "scrolled" through. If the file selected is another directory, that directory becomes the current one and the same procedure applies. Once an editable file is selected, the actual file_history is restored. This seems to me to be an unobtrusive feature that will fit seamlessly into ed.ex's minimalist user interface. --- Ken Rhodes <ken_rhodes30436 at yahoo.com> wrote: > > > --- Inkru <inkru at mailc.net> wrote: > > > > > Yes, that is true.

When the ed.exe is open, and you have used "ESC, n" a few times to open a few different files, the filenames are cached, so when you press "ESC, n" to reopen a files that you previously edited, you can use the "up", "down" arrow keys to scroll the files/libraries you have been working on to open them without having to type the filename in every time!. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Inkru" <inkru at mailc.net> To: <EUforum at topica.com> Subject: Re: ED load file > > > >>I find ED has a command to let me save files I type.
