Google Search (selection)

Description: Search's Google for the current selection.

Command: C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe (for firefox)
Argument: http://www.google.com/search?q=$(CurSel)

External Browser Preview UserTool

Website: http://www.maxthon.com/
Description: Save current file, then Launch it in Maxthon tabbed browser.
Menu text: Maxthon Browser
Command: C:Program FilesMaxthonMaxthon.exe
Argument: file:///'$(FilePath)'
Initial directory: [leave blank]
Check: 'Save open files'
Posted By: John Morse
Additional Info: This command is good for keeping the internal browser preview enabled in EditPlus, but still having the extra functionality of previewing your file in other browsers.

HTML Tidy

Website: http://tidy.sourceforge.net/
Description: This will automatically clean up your HTML code to whatever standards you designate in the tidyconfig.txt file.
Command: tidy.exe -config tidyconfig.txt
Argument: '$(FilePath)'
Check: 'Run as text filter'
Posted By: Dean Householder

Note: If tidy.exe is not in the Window's Path, and you installed it to 'C:Program FilesTidy', set initial directory to C:Program FilesTidy. Also, in the tidyconfig.txt file, make sure you don't have the line write-back: yes, as it will write the changes to the underlying file instead of to the EditPlus window. Either change it to write-back: no or delete the line, as no is the default setting.

Here's an example config file for Tidy:

DotNet

Compile NAnt Projects

Website: http://nant.sourceforge.net
Description: Compiles NAnt project for DotNet.
Command: nant.exe
Argument: $(CurSel) -find
Initial Directory: $(FileDir)
Check: 'Capture Output', 'Save open files'
Output Pattern:

• Regular Expression: ^[t ]*([.+] )?([^(]+)(([0-9]+),([0-9]+))
• File Name: Tagged Expression 2
• Line: Tagged Expression 3
• Column: Tagged Expression 4

Tips: What you have selected when launching this tool would be treated as the target name of the build file. For instance, given that you have a 'default.build' file located in the same folder as the active file, and you have selected 'debug', then launch this tool. NAnt will compile the 'debug' target of the 'default.build' file.Please notice that there's a '-find' argument in the command line which enables Nant to search for build files in parent folders of the active file in case of no build file exists in the directory.

Compile A Single C# File to Console EXE

Description: Compile c# code to a console executable file (for quick testing or very-light-weight application development purpose)
Command: %systemroot%Microsoft.NETFrameworkv1.1.4322csc
Argument: '$(FileName)' /r:System.dll /r:System.data.dll /nologo /debug
Initial Directory: $(FileDir)
Check: 'Capture Output', 'Save open files'
Tips:

1. 'v1.1.4322' in 'command' should be the version number of the Microsoft .Net Framework;
2. If you need to reference more assemblies, please add more '/r' stuff in the 'arguments'
3. Please refer to the .Net Framework SDK Documentation on CSC (C Sharp Compiler) for more information about how to compile C# files. You may also consider using a 'Responding File'. However, NAnt Build files should be preferred if your project goes to be complex that you need to use 'responding files'.

PHP: External Browser Preview

Website: N/A
Description: PHP Development Aide - Preview current file, server-side, source code parsed by PHP engine
Command: 'c:Program FilesYourBrowser.exe'
Argument: http://localhost/$(CurSel)
Check: 'Save open files'
Posted By: Jeff Sabarese
Hint : the EditPlus Argument '$(CurSel)' is key here, but requires adopting a source-code commenting convention. Comment each file after the opening PHP tag to indicate the current file name and path (for example: // ./MySiteDev/Location/current.php ). When ready to preview, highlight this path info before executing the User Tool (as configured above). The magic of the '$(CurSel)' Argument will effectively preview the current file, without the inherent problem of the Browser prompting to 'Open File With..'. NOTE: LocalHost may be substituted for any server name-- very useful when using the FTP edit / save / upload option.

PHP: Function Prototype for built-in functions

Jump To File in Project

Author: Mark Kahn
Description: Gives a type-able input that allows you to jump directly to any file in a given project.
Repository: http://code.google.com/p/editplus-user-tools/source/browse/trunk/JumpToFile/
Limitations:

• Can only be used in a project
• The project MUST be local
• The first time you load the tool, it will take anywhere from several seconds to minutes to load depending on the number of files in your project. After this, it caches the files in the project and will load much faster
• The tool will re-scan the project folders every 30 seconds, so files added or deleted will not instantly show up
• The tool will not take note of any changes to files or folders included in the project (via Project-->Edit Projects) until it is re-launched
• The tool must be re-launched after switching projects
• Must have internet access. If this is a problem download the .hta from google code, then download the .js and .css files that are linked

Note:

• Under Arguments below, the INI directory can be found under Tools-->Set Directories

Security:

• Please note that .hta applications have a LARGE amount of control over your computer and that running one directly from the SVN repository is risky -- if someone else adds malicious code, it will run on your computer directly -- and that downloading the .hta is preferred
  

Command: mshta 'http://editplus-user-tools.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/JumpToFile/jumpToFile.hta'
Arguments: 'c:PathToINIDirectory' '$(AppDir)' '$(ProjectName)'
Check: 'Run Hidden'
Save: None

Markdown Syntax

Website: http://daringfireball.net/projects/downloads/Markdown_1.0.1.zipDescription: Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML). Great for writing blog posts.
Command: perl Markdown.pl
Check: 'Run as text filter'
Posted by: Ankit Solanki.

N.B. You will need to specify the location of both perl and Markdown.pl - EditPlus will not find them if they are in the path.

Description: clears the read-only file attribute on the current file.
Command: attrib.exe

Check: 'Close window on exit'

Parse 1-n ranges into text, ie [0-9]

Description: Parses an unlimited number of numeric, alpha, alphanumeric, hex or octal ranges into text.
Author: Mark Kahn
Command: cscript //NoLogo 'c:path to filefile.js'
Check: 'Run as text filter'
Notes: Take the code and save it as a .js file. Returns 1 copy of exactly what you send it for each replacement necessary. So if you want it to return 1 entry per line, make sure you select a linebreak when running this tool.
Example:

Code:

Full RegEx Supported Replace and More!

Description: Does a full regular expression replace based on the file or expression.
Author: Mark Kahn
Command: cscript //NoLogo 'c:path to filefile.js'
Check: 'Run as text filter'
Notes: The first line of whatever you send has to be the regular expression you want parsed. The 2nd line is what you want it replaced with. Anything on the replace line between { and } sets is eval'd in JavaScript, meaning if you can do TONS of stuff that isn't possible with normal Regular Expressions, like {$1*$2} which will multiple the first match times the second.
Example:

Code:

Fix Code Spacing

Description: 'Fixes' code spacing by aligning = signs, :'s, etc. Makes code much easier to read.
Author: Mark Kahn
Command: cscript //NoLogo 'c:path to filefile.js'
Check: 'Run as text filter'
Example:

Code:

Fix Code Indentation

Description: 'Fixes' JavaScript/PHP/C++/etc code indentation by throwing away most starting indentation and replacing it based on braces & parenthesis. The script will ignore spacing that is inside sets of parenthesis, i.e. function variables that are aligned.
Known Bugs: Does not ignore PHP 'heredoc' strings: e.g. '<<<EOF .. EOF;' blocks. It will format these as it would any other block of code.

Full Prompted RegEx Replace

Description: Full reg-ex support for a normal find/replace. It prompts you for two arguments, the first being the regex in a linux style syntax, the second being what to replace the regex with. The first argument should look like: '/[re][ge]x/gi', without the quotes. Your regular expression goes between the two /'s and the 'gi' at the end mean: 'g' means global - you will almost always want this as it allows multiple replaces. Without 'g', the regex will stop after the first match. 'i' means 'ignore case'.
