I'm using currently notepad++ for my Windows assembly language projects. Does anyone know another alternative editor with syntax highlighting etc?
Gunther
I use RadAsm3 for most of my editing (PowerBASIC, BCX, UBX, JWasm, Masm, gcc, g++ .....)

I use SciTE for almost everything.

Mike,
QuoteI use SciTE for almost everything.
Good hint, the language schemes (including TEX) are impressive. On the other hand, it should also work under Linux. I think, I'll give it a try.

vim (http://www.vim.org/) is also a good choice. It supports several assembler syntax like MASM, FASM, NASM, etc. And it's runnable as Windows or console app.

Yes, the famous vi. Although the handling is a bit cryptic, there are some authors, which have written entire book manuscripts with the vi.

Geany, if you want it free, ultraedit, if you want features, the late you must pay for, but is a steal!!!!

Hallo Gunther,
Hast Du jemals einen Blick auf RichMasm geworfen - im MasmBasic (http://masmforum.com/~masm32/board/index.php?topic=94)-Package? Ich benutze nichts anderes, u.a. weil ich die individuelle Formatierung brauche...
Gruss Jochen
I use SciTE for all my text editing. It has code highlighting for about every language and an output pane for debugging. Presently I'm working on user calltip settings for MASM, as I'm not yet proficient at remembering the meaning of a lot of even basic asm keywords. I would also like to add in some html based context sensitive MASM help, fairly easily done with SciTE. If done you could just put the cursor on the key word and hit F1 and it takes you to a page specific to that key word with examples and all. You can also configure any number of hotkeys to call up any number of existing help files in the SDK and/or web resources, local or otherwise. It also has macro capabilities. So you can type in a keyword and hit the macro function hotkeys and it'll replace your key word with as complex a macro as you want to define for it.

Yes, I've checked it. SciTE is impressive. Thank you for the hint.

Now when all else fails, you can always write your own. :shock:

No, not really. They're using wordstar. :greenclp:

i thought we were all using EDLIN...
*?
Edit line line#
Append [#lines]A
Copy [startline],[endline],toline[,times]C
Delete [startline][,endline]D
End (save file) E
Insert [line]I
List [startline][,endline]L
Move [startline],[endline],tolineM
Page [startline][,endline]P
Quit (throw away changes) Q
Replace [startline][,endline][?]R[oldtext][CTRL+Znewtext]
Search [startline][,endline][?]Stext
Transfer [toline]T[drive:][path]filename
Write [#lines]W
*
the ultimate in light-weight editors :t
copy con test.asm
^Z :biggrin:
Lets not forget MS-DOS Edit. I used it in the old days of DOS and it still comes with Windows XP, Vista 32bit and Win 7 32bit if I'm not mistaken. That is if you care to use it. :biggrin:

Oh yes, what a nice editor. One could process file sizes above 64 KB, if I remember it right.

That's another alternative. :t

i can remember when that was all we had - lol
your other choices were to grab a pirate copy of word star or word perfect and use "save as text"
it wasn't long before i found a copy of PC Write by Bob Wallace :t
for $10, you got a lot of functions - some of which i still do not find in today's editors
it was free, if you didn't mind the splash screen on start-up
Hi,
I used the WordPerfect Programmer's Editor back
when. And still do. I got used to it and it has a good
macro system. And have used vi just enough to
do something useful with it if needed.
Cheers,
Steve N.
I have always liked Winasm.
