Tomasz,
If you use external programmers' editor you gain:
1) Infinite level of 'undo/redo'.
2) Automatic or timed back-up of your code
3) 'Source-code control' of your code
4) Automatic intelligent indenting
5) 'Regular-expression' search-n-replace.
6) Incremental search
7) Column copy-n-paste
8) Multiple windows over the same program and
multiple windows over different programs
9) Most important, you get to be in the environment that you are
most comfortable with.
(Be it 'vi' or 'emacs' or 'TextPad' or 'ConText' or ....)
Lots of editors allow programming of the syntax hiliting as well.
>>I see no good reason to switch to external editor and loose all these goodies, therefore right now I don't support this idea.<<
As the programming needs grow in the future, perhaps you will and perhaps you may.

Hello,
If you use external editor you loose:
- automatic syntax highlighting for all AFL functions and all loaded plugins
(although some external editors have definable syntax hi-lite but it forces you
to update syntax definiiton file with EACH BETA release or each load of new plugin.
Built-in AFL editor automatically reacts on all new functions added and automatically
recognizes functions provided by all loaded plugins)
- AFL "Intellisense" technology (auto-completion and parameter information)
- automatic context sensitive function reference (F1 over function name)
I see no good reason to switch to external editor and loose all these goodies,
therefore right now I don't support this idea.

Subject: Re: [amibroker] The #include re-read work-around ... Stopped working !
Tomasz,
As I wrote below ===> For every execution I was adding a space in the script containing #include statement. But after about 15 to 20 times, not matter how many spaces I added, no matter how many trivial _N("Hello World!"); I added, the #include file was not getting re-read from the disk.
Once I even changed the name of the #include to a non-existing file. Quite correctly AmiBroker did not include the non-existing #include file. Immediately afterwards I changed the #include file name to existing file, but still AmiBroker did not re-read the #include file.
BTW, I understand why AmiBroker avoids re-reading. However, using external programmers' editors for code development, rather than using AmiBroker's internal editor has its own advantages, evenif such development and subsequent inclusion of this code in AmiBroker via #include goes against the idea of the intended use of #include from AmiBroker's perspective.
(ORACLE's SQL*Plus has a nice built-in work-around. It has facility where the developer can set text editor to any one that's installed. ORACLE invokes this editor in edit mode and re-reads the edited code in execution mode.)

Salil,
You must CHANGE the formula in AA. If you add a space and delete it immediatelly afterwards - in fact there is NO CHANGE.
So use either one action or another but not both!

Dingo,
I was developing script for last 1/2 hour. For every execution I was adding a space in the script containing #include statement. I must have executed it 15 to 20 times. And now looks like AmiBroker is no longer re-reading the #include file, evenif I am adding / deleting spaces and adding deleting some trivial strings. I saved and re-loaded the 'Formula' file a couple of time also. Looks like the work-around has stopped working.
Any other work-around short of exiting AmiBroker and invoking it again ?

Dingo,
Oh ... okay.
Thanks for the work-around. Just adding a space forced the re-reading.

TJ reported that it worked the way as you describe. So it is "by design". You need to change the formula in the AA window (add a space) or reload the formula to get it to re-read the Included file.
see msg 37177.

Tomasz,
It looks as if the #include file is not getting re-read from the for every execution (invocation) of the program that contains the #include statement. It looks like a bug.
Create a .AFL file with text (say)
"Hello World!";
And include this above file using #include in (say) the 'Guru Formula' and get the commentary. It will contain the string Hello World!
Now change the disk file without exiting AmiBroker to contain the string following string and save it to disk.
"Hello World! Hello World!";
Flip to 'Guru' Formula and click 'Apply' ... the string that's show in the commentary still is a single Hello World! rather than double Hello World!
