Need an application

[Elainefin8]

That will allow me to track line and column regardless of the platform or current job. Does such a critter exist? Who has it? Thanks, Elaine

More info on the thing I need for my guys. Word Star has a cursor tracker. We need something like that. It's such a simple thing, there has to be a quick utility or something already out there . . . It just has to track the x and y axis, tell the location in terms of column and line.

Thanks, Elaine

Are you talking about transaction logging on a DB? Read/write activity on a file?

Guys need to be able to locate the position of the cursor on the screen by column and line so that when the cursor is moved, the new location will be indicated within that file. An ASCII type file is the basis of this question.

I am hoping to find a pre-existing application that will allow for this tracking.

We are in the process of refining the question. Oh, I just love working with technology I know nothing about!

Okay, clarification. I need a word processor that has a cursor indicator on screen at all times like the old Word Star has. It has to run on a Win2000 platform.

Boy, some people like making my life interesting!

Hope this helps clarify the issue. E

I really like Notepad++. Cross platform and Open Source. Get it here.

Notepad++ is definitely a great resource for programming - highlights keywords for easier interpretation. I don't know if it has the row/column display like you want, but it's definitely a nice little program.

It has the row/column display.
