Mbee Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 I really like SciTE4AutoIt3. It's a superb tool! But since I also own UltraEdit and UltraCompare, I figured I'd try them to work with AutoIt files, just out of curiosity and for the hell of it (with the exception of UltraCompare, which I've been using with .au3 files for a while now and wish to continue to use). I doubt very much that I'll switch to using UE but I want to compare SciTE & UE with as many bells and whistles that UlltraEdit can provide. That includes using UE's Wordfiles for syntax highlighting and the like. The problem is, there are multiple versions and I can't figure out which I should use. The official download page is at: https://www.ultraedit.com/downloads/extras/wordfiles, but there's also a Github download page at: https://github.com/IDMComputerSolutions/wordfiles. So there are multiple files to choose from: AU3WORDFILE.uew, AutoIt.uew, autoit300.uew, and AutoIt_v3.2.12.1.uew. AU3WORDFILE.uew has the following note: "Normalize all line endings" (most wordfiles have that same comment associated with it). If I understand correctly, such comments are simply a short description of the purpose of the latest update, so it isn't useful in determining which is the correct file to use/ Also, no specific dates are shown for the AutoIt wordfiles; just how many years have passed since the last change. These are worthless since nearly all of those wordfiles simply shows they were changed "5 years ago". I've used UltraCompare on various pairs of these files, and they're all at least slightly different. And those differences are not helpful (to me at least) in understanding which to use. SO; does anyone here use UltraEdit and either knows which file to use or can recommend one? I'm running the latest versions of UE & UC. Thanks!
