Well it's "Windows Explorer" that doesn't like to save the file.

You can use notepad as well or DOS to save it on Windows system. Just in the save as from NOTEPAD use quotes around it when you save it ".htaccess" and it will be saved correctly. Make sure you FTP it up in ASCII mode as well.

Weird. I never had that problem. Then again, I usually dump the file from the server, edit it, and re-upload it. Never had a problem w/ the filename.

thats what I do as well; windows explorer doesn't like to name things with just an extension, but as nt said, you can trick the "save as" box into doing it with using ""'s

I don't know about Notepad -- I only use EditPad, and that lets me create .htaccess files with no problem to my XP desktop. tongue

Amendment: I use EditPad 3.5.3 -- before it got all BLOATED. If you can find that (free) version, you will NEVER use Notepad again! (PM me with your email for a copy wink )

Well I have the bloated one, full pro version of EditPad Pro but I use UEStudio for most of my coding. http://www.ultraedit.com/

However I've started to install this on desktops so that when/if I need to do file editing I can easily run a cool editor Notepad++ http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm

EDLIN for Windows, VI for Linux

You one of those guys that work hard to prove you can do it eh Gizmo. Your prerogative I suppose, but I'll take the fancier stuff myself, MUCH faster coding than built-in notepad type editors.

I use nano (a Pico clone) for linux; only because I don't like VI, joe, etc.

All I do is code in Notepad/Wordpad; never had an issue with "how fast" i can do things... The only downside is that I can't easily find what line i'm on lol...

I've tried a variety of various editors and I always end up going back to VI. I'd say 98% of everything in UBB.threads was done in VI.

LOL - I actually used to use EDLIN and VI but once you really start having to do a lot of coding and use a modern editor you can code a lot faster better code.

Knowing how to use the built-in tools though is good so that if you have to work on another system without modern tools you still know how to do it.

If I was paying you to code though and you were using just the built-in tools I'd think twice about paying you a decent wage if it were based on the hour.

Easy, install yum on the new *nix varient and then install nano wink...

And I code quite fast using just notepad, it's all I ever use (other than nano/pico); it's not a matter of the tool or how many "cool newbie options" it has, it's a matter of how well you work with what you're used to wink...

wink exactly...

IMO, a user is more abpt to work well and fast with the tools that they're accustomed to, if anything, introducing new tools will cause things to take longer as they have to get used to the new fangled tool/options.

The only thing in notepad/wordpad that can be updated that would be of any use to me would be if they where to add line numbering; everything else i can add myself (html code, php code, hex colors, etc)

Well they aren't too good at replacing strings in hundreds of files at the same time like advanced editors.

They also don't do column/block editing that I know of.

You guys can keep your editors and I'll keep mine smile

I am not aware of anything for a linux server that acts in a simialr way to notepad - it is left to right scrolling that would be nice.

No doubt there are options for seasoned users but still not quite as easy as clicking a button to do it. You would also need a better regular expression or you would easily wipe out and ruin the other files.
You could also do for each and grep, etc.. just that each time you would spend a while with the syntax unless you did it often, in an advanced editor it takes that guess work out of it.

I'm not trying to persuade anyone to change what or how they do things - just being a post W... like Gizmo - hehe wink

Gizmo - I'll send you a copy of EditPad 3.5.3 to try out -- it has line numbering (well, it has "Go to line #)) and a few other nice touches that Notepad doesn't have (like no file size limit), but it's still ultra slim. There isn't even an install - you just run it. wink No color-coding, though - that's the only thing I miss about it compared to say, Dreamweaver's source view which I use sometimes also. Later versions of EditPad have it, but I've found them to be more bloated for an everyday .txt reader.

I had to start using Crimson Editor so I could find line numbers of code that I had to edit to fix stuff as a beta tester. It has a bunch of advanced stuff that some of you may be interested in. It's free and works well on Windows.

FYI - The built-in Windows Notepad can GOTO line numbers as well by menu or by CTRL-G it also has no file size limits since Windows 2000 and it can enter a current "TIME and DATE" with F5

Tons of great editors out there but unless someone is fed up with what they're using most won't give another editor a try as they don't feel the need (as evidenced by this thread).

I used to use Crimson a long time ago but recently switched to using Notepad++ for a freebie on other users machines if I want more than the built-in notepad.

hehe I'm sure it does. A programmer I know is actively trying to get me to switch to using his editor ASE - It's a great editor and does some cool stuff too but having used UltraEdit for so long now and being used to it and it's advanced features his version does not compete for me. He keeps improving it though but he gears it more towards Scripters and Programmers and I have other uses and needs for an editor besides just those tasks.
