Especially 'vi' and 'emacs' must be most preferred editors
among AmiBroker users, ROTFL :-))))
Re: RCS
Source control is used for CO-OPERATION in developer group
to manage 'reserving' (checking out)
and 'submission modified code' (checking-in) <FONT
size=2>formulas so multiple developers know who works
on which part of bigger project.
Using it by single person makes very little
sense.
To summarise:
if you really want you can write any editor you wish (vi
for example if you are Unix evangelist),
but I am thinking towards MAJORITY of <FONT
size=2>users that need built-in editor,
auto hi-lite, context help, auto-complete and parameter info,
the features
not provided by external editors.
Bottom line: I have my to-do list full of features that
99% of users would highly appreciate
(like recently introduced AFL improvements, portfolio
backtesting, more plugins (IB for example),
etc) that I am far from implementing
features that only 1% (or less) of users would use.

Tomasz,
Alas ... you seem to have ignored the 'Most important' #8 point.
Please be fair and admit that you do not have complete idea of
the editing requirements/habits of every programmer who codes some
AFL. A feature that you find as 'essential' in editing, may be
'trivial' for someone else and what you find as 'trivial' may be
'essential' for someone else.
>>Be fair and admit that source control is NEVER used to
write AFL formulas.<<
Nope .... I will admit no such thing !
All of my personal code including even the small AFL
scripts, are under source code control. A single user free source
code control is available at the following URL =""

Salil,
You seem to forget that AFL codes are much shorter than
C++ / Delphi / VB
codes. They have a few hundreds (rarely thousands) of
lines.
The features you mention are targeted to write big
programs
like AmiBroker (that has millions of lines).
So although some of them are nice they are not
essential,
and not that important as the ones I listed (especially
for the beginners)
Be fair and admit that source control is NEVER used to
write AFL formulas.
Source control is needed only if you
work in a GROUP of developers working together
and sharing sources simulatenously
on SINGLE BIG project.
Lack of it can not be compared to lack of context help, or
auto-completion.
It is nice to have a car with air-condition but first you
have to have the engine and
steering wheel.
I consider most the features you listed as minor compared
to those mentioned by me
and already available in AmiBroker.
A few exceptions are 4 and 8 that will appear sometime
in (not too distant) future.
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

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, <FONT
size=2>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

<FONT
color=#ff409f>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!

<FONT
color=#ff409f>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 ?

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

<FONT

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!
