External editor: Scite
May 31st, 2005, 2:23pm  
Scite is my editor of choice. I won't get into that now, my question is. Is it possible, and if so, how, to compile a certain .pde from commandline? In scite I can set for any filetype some commands, like, for example, in flash I can compile the opened swf, in php I can refresh an addres, in perl, compile perl, etc.

Is it possible to to such a thing with processing ? Like maybe

d:/processing/processing.exe -c $(FileNameExt)

or maybe just

d:/processing/processing.exe -start

to compile the current pde, etc.

BTW, I think you should look into it, maybe support it, as it's open source and really easy to add hints, syntax colouring, links to reference, and a lot of other stuff, without even having to compile it, just by editing some preferences files.

seconded, scite is a beautiful app.
i use jedit for most of my work due to the ftp plugin but scite is wonderfully fast and lightweight.

any pointers would be appreciated for using either of these with p5.

i use scite for all sorts of textediting. I really like the syntax-highlighting:

a "modded" version for processing would be great, but I found changing the syntaxhighlighting not as straightforward as you say. Maybe I missed the easy way.

In example "context" makes providing of own keyword-lists much easier.

There is also a scite-clone for actionscript out there. a processing-version would be nice.

no command line option yet. for now you can set the preferences for "use external editor" and then edit away using scite, but you'll still have to hit the run button inside p5.

I see. I'll try and build a p5 friendly version and when it's finished I'll post here.

In the mean time, could somebody code a small exe that when called could just execute RUN in processing, with whatever sketch is currently opened ?

i appreciate that command line functions arent ready for general consumption and will go through some changes, but could some kind soul give us a clue as to what is available at the moment?

processing has no command line options.

you may be getting confused with another post about command line options for PApplet, which are just undocumented and unsupported.
