Today I found a good code tool , FileLocator Pro , just to search target words within any type of files , like html , php , txt etc.,
I like it much because it looks very clear . But I notice bottom right is able to view only , can not edit file at the same time , that means have to use external editor . At present I am using sublime as code editor , after reference Editplus and other choice’s , I know “$(FILEPATH)” is to open the file accordingly , but the working line is not the same between Filelocator & sublime ,
The filelocator provide choice to link Editplus so as others, there is no sublime linking method . ( that means when turn on external editor , it just stay in row 1 , can not locate to same place as FileLocator’s , it is obviously not friendly play .)
I spend whole afternoon to find a result in internet , until at night , I found a link http://www.jacobpennock.com/Blog/?p=568 ,
where wrote this :
[Settings]
Application=C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\sublime_text.exe
Arguments="*file*:*linenumber*"
i test half hour to get correct answer : “$(FILEPATH)”:”$(LINENUM)”
Now when I click open external editor in right corner some where , for example row 99 , the sublime will turn on and locate to same line , row 99
I am very pleased to solve this and get useful tools for future development tonight.
