Line Counter?

Static M.e.

Right all you Code monkeys
Ive got a question for yee as their has to be a trick to
this or something

Basically im writing code basic php or hackin simple scripts
to suit but my problem is this , when i get an error to go
to line 764 lets say
Im literally taping down the arrow key hundreds of times
(Ive actually become quite fast at it, but thats hardly the point )
Its stupid and their has to be a faster , easyer way

now im using notepad , cant seem to do it in wordpad and although Im sure you can do it in word , I read somewhere
that word mess's up your scripts and doesnt agree with .tls
files and such. Ive also tried google and found a editor
that solves my problems but costs $50 , but since this is all
open source theirs got to be another package out their.

Any knowledge would be much appreciated , thanks

I'm sure you'll get loads of replies here:

You might like Emacs (do you like pain?)

Try Jext: www.jext.org

Homesite is worth whatever they charge for it.

There are loads others, notepad sux

Most editors based on the Borland IDE (Integrated Development Environment) use ^KL linenumber to go to the line number. (the ^ means CTRL)

I don't use Windows based editors for writing scripts.

If you do go windows there are a few options.. Notepad in 2000 has a go to line option, edit in Dos will show you your line number in the bottom right of the screen but I tend to use a code edit clone which has the line numbers visible on screen down the left hand side and can format code for easier reading.. (I use cEdit from www.planet-source-code.com T'is buggy but I have the code so I can fix probs as I find 'em, but just search for Code Edit and you will find something that works all nicey nice)

I use Edit Plus meself, which has line-numbering. Thirty bucks.

Anyway, you won't find a hell of a lot of open source editors for Windows, since most developers reckon it kind of defeats the purpose developing an open source app for a closed source OS.

On Linux, I tend to use the simplistic but fine-for-what-I-need pico, and jump to a line with:

pico +LINENUM FILE

save php files as .phps

and then use http://validator.w3.org/

Under Windows, you should check out Textpad. Featureful editor that isn't annoying.

Thanks everyone for the help

I tried a few of them and their all good , in the end im using
phpmaster editor , which gives me my line counter:D
and allows me to bring up multiple pages at once and switch
through them, also to view the code in browser format
which will be nice

anyway thanks
