Error tracing with Winedt

Hello,
I am using Winedt 6.0 with Latex for a several hundred pages document.
For this I have a short MASTER file which includes all chapters using 
the include statemet
\include{chapter1}
\include{chapter2} 
\include{chapter3} etc.

Winedt has the nice feature that - if errors are found by Latex - it jumps
to the line where the error is. Say, if there is an error in chapter2, line 110,
it jumps to this line and highlights it red.
It did work for me so far, but since some days
it jumps instead to the last line of the MASTER file. 

Is there a way to control this?
Many thanks for a hint.
Norbert

Hello,

I had the same problem. Please check the forum for topic "Cursor position
following a LaTeX-error" and you will hopefully find the solution.

For start: what is your build of WinEdt (Help -> About Dialog)?

Improvements were made in the March Build of WinEdt 6 when it comes
to parsing log files for errors. Previous builds have problems
(especially when filenames and paths of included files are long).

If you have the latest build take a good look at log file. It is
possible that filenames in log file are wrapped in two lines and
that would spell trouble in most cases... The reason for such
change can be explained by close inspection of log file.

Best regards,

I have the very same problem as described above, except that I use WinEdt 5.5, 
and the last line of the error message that I get is
         DDEOpen('%$("AcroRead")',"acroview","control");
This is line 36 of the file "Acrobat CloseDoc.edt", and I suppose that just 
modifying this line appropriately should solve the problem. Is this correct? 
Exactly how should I modify it? (An expert would probably have figured 
this out from the answer given above, but it doesn't tell much to a non-expert 
like me...)

Many thanks in advance!

Hi!

Here are the replies that I sent to the list on February 19, 2011, to the same question:

Message 1:

I am using Winedt 5.5. 
When I upgraded to Acrobat 10, I had the same DDE problem.
After scouring the web I found the following solution:

I went to the file      .....\Winedt Team\Winedt\exe\Acrobat OpenDoc.edt   .... Line 106 
and I changed   DDEOpen('%$("AcroRead")',"acroview","control",0);     
to  DDEOpen('%$("AcroRead")',"acroviewR10","control",0);

Now, I don't have the DDE problem.  I hope it works for you.

Message 2:

Further to my previous message, the change to acroviewR10 is for those using the Reader.

If someone uses the full Acrobat I believe that the change should be to acroviewA10.

auxiliary files

Hello Everyone,

Some time ago Karl posted a solution so that the auxiliary files used when 
compiling (PdfTexify) would be stored in a MikTex folder rather than the working 
folder.  Yes, I only want my tex and pdf file in my working folder, I am tired 
of manually deleting the bunch.  I went back to his email to try to implement 
this on my WinEdt6 but looking at Options> Execution Mode>Tex does not seem to 
give the option of storing auxiliary files in another (any) folder.  Any body 
would be kind to give me a hint on how to work it in WinEdt?

Thanks,

Erie

The only thing you have to do is to create a subfolder named 'TeXAux' 
where your source is.
I recommend you to download the latest winedt build where this option is 
well implemented.
If you want to change 'TeXAux' name you can do it from 
Options->Execution Modes->TeX Options->TeX Auxiliary Output Folder
