On windows I really only used Notepad++ as my text editor, it had two features that I loved.What I need to accomplish is what I would do with Notepad++ column editor.I could have like 100 lines, and place the cursor at a column, and goto edit>column editor, and I could insert an incrementing number. (I could also pad the incrementing number with 0s, this was GREAT for making batch files among other things.)So each line at that column had a number higher than the previous line.The other feature that I used sometimes was a search/replace with regex patterns.Does anyone know of an editor that has those features for linux? I am mostly after the column editor insert feature but if you know of one with both features that would rock.

Recommend a good Linux text editor for Windows (if it exists), I wrote scripts for C-Shell using txt editor of windows but I have problem, it doesn't run because windows is not UNIX, what can I do? I don't want to install linux for a few scripts, I do testing of my scripts via unix server (this server is not mine), I treed dos2unix command, also doesn't work.

I was reading how you could browse the net with Emacs but then it was stated that it was done with another application like Firefox so this would imply that Emacs is an interpreter would it not? What is Emacs capable of? Is it an interpreter that runs a text editor?

I had opened a file in vim editor in my ubuntu 8.04 & wanted to see if line ends with
(like DOS) or
(in UNIX)
I tried
Code:
:%s/
//gn
& vi editor got hung with processor nearing 50%
Then I pressed ctrl+c & vim resumed with message
Code:
147416605 matches on 1 line
So my question is
(1)why this reaction from vim ?
(2)I want to see all control characters in file.
I used notepad++ in windows & it had option to differentiate tabs, spaces, return etc.

How does one switch between command line and keypad modes when using the jed editor with EDT emulation?
OpenVMS User's Manual states that when using the EDT editor if the user wants to control EDT using the keypad, the mode needs to be set for keypad rather than command line input:
I am using:
with this .jedrc file:
Using the -batch shows that the .jedrc file is correctly located.

In my rather unsuccessful attempt to get gvim working properly (see [url] )
I am now considering using some other editor in windows which will allow editing of ssh shell script *on the linux server* directly.
At the moment I'm using winscp's editor which is no better than notepad really (no syntax colouring / code folding / colour settings)

(1)There should be a command to send content to clipboard instead of 36 buffers available in vi just like ':set paste' allows pasting from clipboard inside vi using ctrl+shift+v in insert mode.(Currently I select area using mouse & right click then copy )
2)Let us say I have sentence "I am young" I want to arrange the words in this line in alphabetical order so that I get 'am I young'. First I thought replacing space by in sentence.Then !#j then type sort -n where # represents number of words.Then #J to join the filteredlines.It works but now I have file with hundreds of sentence of varying length.If I make a macro how will it know the number of words?
