Hi all,
Has anyone here developed a text editor using C ? If so pls share
the ideas with me.
I have some basic doubts on how to edit the text in stdout as per the
input from keyboard.
Also whenever the user inputs any characted to a IO function like
scanf, the character is displayed in stdout.. how can I block it.
Regards,
Cheekuu

You can't make a good texteditor unless you use some kind of thurd-party
library for controlling the console (unless you want to make a new ed).
Since you are talking about standard in/out I suspect you are targeting
Unix/Linux (under windows you'd probably be looking into using a GUI) in
which case you might be interested in ncurses.

Erik is right in pointing out that without using some third-party
library, you would end up dealing with just too much of esoterism.
Though, NCurses is good enough to develop any basic editing tool,
empirical experiences have taught me that it takes just too much of
code to get even the most basic thing upright running, in the context
of providing the window where text would be typed, maintaining those
buffers in sync and odd!
Since this is a C++ group, I inevitably suggest the below.
Take a look into the Trolltech's C++ framework called QT, it is
available for free and comes along with the neccessary editor, make
tool and help pages. The framework defines a class "QTextEdito r" which
builds into it, most of the editing capabilities you are looking for.

I have a textarea and some buttons. The buttons apply functions to
the text the user selects, i.e. the good old "wrap with a tag"
thing we all have seen in 100 different editors.
Trouble is, when I click the button, the selected text gets
unselected. Select some text in the textbox and click -anywhere-
and the text unselects.
I want that text to stay selected!

As I'm sure is common knowledge the version of IIS included in XP Pro is

few different editors, and I really like UltraEdit, but it's
Windows-only and I'm working more on Linux nowadays.
Here are my criteria:
1. syntax highlighting (highly customizable)
2. auto/smart indenting
3. ability to run script

My favourite text editor (on windows) is the free software ConTEXT

I dont really like any of the editors that i have tried on Linux, but
the best one I have tried is Quanta I suppose.
As for books, PHP5 Objects, Patterns & Practice (Zandstra) is a good
book - not for the faint hearted though. Something a bit easier to
