Highlight spaces

Hello,

maybe I have lost something last year - or I do not to see the wood for
the trees: is it possible to indicate or highlight spaces (like with
very small centered dots) or to show rabulators (with >> or any other
character) like it is possible with line breaks?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, this is possible. You must add " " -> "?" to Screen
translations (where ? is the character of your choice). You can
also highlight a set Space = [" "] if you want it to be
indifferent color. This functionality did not change if a long
time (it was always like this -- if you had this working before
this is the only way it could be accomplished)...

Thanks for the hint - it works fine.

I had no specific requirements on screen translations up to now, but a 
colleague, who started to evaluate WinEdt came along with that questions 
And I had no clue ...

Startup Folder doesn't reset in WinEdt 5.5

I am using  WinEdt 5.5 (Build 20071003) in Windows XP with SP3.

Every time WinEdt starts, the current working directory is set to
C:\Program Files\WinEdt. The last opened file is located in G:\doc,
and always stays open. By default the startup folder should be set to
the location of the last Opened Document, but somehow this is not
working. I had to manually use "Document-->Set Folder" to reset the
current working directory to where the opened file is.

The default settings of WinEdt should be intact - I didn't do any
reconfigurations since WinEdt was installed. So the settings should be
exactly like what the default is.

Could anybody tell me how to get WinEdt to reset the working directory
to the location of the last opened file when it starts? This affects
where the "startup folder" is, I think.

Thanks very much!

Options -> Preferences -> Backup:

In Update Drives you'll see that Drive G is not listed there
(probably because it is a removable drive). In any case you can
add any drive there (eg. C;D;E:F;G or else leave it empty in
order to treat ALL drives as fast ones). This will now work for
this drive...

If I am correct and this is a removable drive then make sure to
close WinEdt before removing it if WinEdt's working directory

Macro: Replace . with \,

hallo

I'd like to replace all the . in big numbers with \,
Example: 100.000,25~m => 100\,000,25~m

I didn't find a macro on the internet, so I started to compose a question  
which unfortunately led after some experiments with macro recorder to a  
simple solution.
Because most of the e-mail was written already, I'm posting the result.
Maybe this helps somebody and doesn't annoy the rest.

What is does:

find {\.[0-9][0-9][0-9]}
insert \
insert ,
replace {\\\,\.} with {\,}

the macro was saved and is run as often as necessary.

regards
simon

Code:

SetFindStr("\.[0-9][0-9][0-9]");
SetSearchForward(0);
SetSearchCaseSensitive(0);
SetSearchEntire(1);
SetSearchCyclic(1);

At Friday, I recorded a macro, today I found this thread: "[WinEdt] reg  
expression query" from 7th Oct 2009 18:39:34.

Now I archive the same with a search&destroy

search: \.\([0-9][0-9][0-9]\)
replace: \\\,\0

thanks

regards
simon
