when I develop using the Message Broker Toolkit V5 everything looks normal
| Code: |
CREATE COMPUTE MODULE TEST_Compute
CREATE FUNCTION Main() RETURNS BOOLEAN
BEGIN
-- CALL CopyMessageHeaders();
-- CALL CopyEntireMessage();
RETURN TRUE;
END;
CREATE PROCEDURE CopyMessageHeaders() BEGIN
DECLARE I INTEGER 1;
DECLARE J INTEGER CARDINALITY(InputRoot.*[]);
WHILE I < J DO
SET OutputRoot.*[I] = InputRoot.*[I];
SET I = I + 1;
END WHILE;
END;
CREATE PROCEDURE CopyEntireMessage() BEGIN
SET OutputRoot = InputRoot;
END;
END MODULE; |
when i try to look at this file using notepad all of the Carriage Returns/Line Feeds have been converted to boxes. Which is what I expect for an invalid character. There are other developers where I work and they do not have this problem.
How do I change WBIMB so it saves the esql files in a format that I can use to see them correctly in notepad? |

Well then, try to figure out whats different on their machines... are they looking at the same esql file as you are looking at or at an esql file in a workspace on their own machines.

afaik, there's no setting for this, have you tried "wordpad"?

Hi,

It is not an invalid character, this is how notepad displays a CR character. This is because the file only contains CR characters to end the line, not a CR followed by an LF. Notepad needs both the CRLF characters together to display lines correctly. Try using a better editor than notepad, like the ESQL Editor in the toolkit . Or Emacs, Textpad, or even vi

| Yeah, I know that I can use pretty much any other editor other than notepad can see the code correctly but I was hoping that someone knew what character set WBIMB was saving the esql files to to make sure that it was truely saving the files in ASCII format. |

Hi,
its valid ASCII but the problem is that notepad cannot display it.

| Generally, using a text editor is the simplest and most convenient way of converting a text file between different newline formats; most modern editors can read and write files using at least the different ASCII CR/LF conventions. Unfortunately, the standard Windows editor Notepad is not one of them, though Wordpad is. |

| I think I'll change the default editor from notepad to wordpad for now. I'll post again if I find a solution that has the esql files opening in notepad. |

The ESQL editor is fairly nice - except for the fact that it won't show line numbers (  ).
Since v5, I've seen no need to work with ESQL outside of Eclipse and the ESQL editor. 2.1 was a different story, though...

Gee...I always thought that was a line and column number on the bottom:

| Writable : Insert : 14 : 46 |
or do you want them in the editing area itself?

I'm a simple man, with simple wants. I want it to work the same way all of the other text based editors work - where there is an optional preference to show line numbers on the sidebar.
