Open AkelPad from Command Line - @Line #123

[ajaxStardust]

Hello.

I like AlelPad and would like to set it as the default text editor for some applications, such as "GREPwin" (or whatever) where it might be a text processing app that can offer to open a text editor a XYZ line number in the processed text file.

I looked through "AlekPad 4" /Docs/AkelHelp-Eng.htm , but I don't see anything specific to it.

E.g. as might be placed here:

Thank you!

(P.S. is it just me, or is DropBox really not very good at sharing images!?)

Command line (and yes, not intuitive):
/If(`SendMain(1204 /*AKD_GOTO*/, 0x1 /*GT_LINE*/, '%L:%C')`, ``, ``)

%L – line number
%C – column number

Hi there. Thank you for this reply!
tried it straight from the command line (w/out as i'd explained above from another app), and it works fine.
wow. that's unexpected syntax.

placed it in the app, grepWin

For convenience of anyone else reading this thread, that command line is:

Code: Select all

C:\Portable\AkelPad\AkelPad.exe /OpenFile("%path%") /If(`SendMain(1204 /*AKD_GOTO*/, 0x1 /*GT_LINE*/, '%line%:%C')`, ``, ``)

Curious: what args would go into the two empty params at the end?

This is what i'd tried per the help file:

Code: Select all

>AkelPad.exe /OpenFile("AkelPad.ini") /Command(4162)

which does open the file, and the "go to line" dialog. not what i wanted, but i was getting somewhere at least.

I didn't realize anyone had replied to this. haha. didn't realize i'd already asked, 'cause i was just coming here to ask the same thing! searched, and found my own question.
doh!
I'll have to check my forum settings.
