This page has been put together to provide you, the user, with wordfiles, macros, tag lists, and autocomplete files generated for different programming languages, all of which have been developed by other users. IDM has not necessarily tested all files here so use them with care; however, we only add the files that we believe to be helpful.

If you have any suggestions or contributions you would like make to this page, please send an email to us.

Wordfiles

To add one of these wordfiles to your syntax highlighting
Version 15.00 and later: To add one of these wordfiles, all you need to do is download and save it into your "wordfile" directory which by default is %appdata%\IDMComp\UltraEdit\wordfiles, unless you have specified a different directory. Further help and documentation is available here.

Version 14.20 and previous: To add one of these wordfiles, please visit this power tip for instructions.

How to enable automatic highlighting with the new wordfile
Please visit our adding or removing file extensions for default syntax highlighting power tip for documentation on enabling automatic highlighting for the new wordfile.

UltraEdit's help file includes help on modifying the wordfile if it is needed under "Syntax Highlighting."

Help for users writing their own wordfiles
One of our forum power users, Mofi, has written a series of open-source macros designed to help users alphabetically sort and test the validity of new wordfiles. This is a very valuable resource for users who need a wordfile that has not yet been written, and use of these macros can make writing your own wordfile much easier.

Scripts

Hello world A basic JavaScript to introduce you to scripting support in UltraEdit/UEStudio.
Header Creates a header for all open documents
String var Demonstrates how to programmatically use a user-provided string
Hex Copy A function with examples for usage to get an ASCII string with hexadecimal values from text or binary data. It offers lots of parameters to determine input source, output destination and format of the output.
Convert ASCII-represented hex to hex Takes a user selection of ASCII-represented hex data and converts it to actual hex data. For example, pasting "68 65 6C 6C 6F" into a new text file and running the script on it will convert it to "hello".
Find strings to new file Scripts to find strings with a regular expression and output the found strings to a new file line by line.
Reverse lines Takes a selection of lines and reverses the order
Copy file content Copies entire content of active file to active clipboard without changing the caret (cursor) position in the file
File name functions Contains functions to get the file extension, or the file name with or without extension, or the file path from an opened document or a file name string
Find string with selecting block 2 functions for selecting a block between 2 found strings or a found string and the cursor position
Get a list of files Function to get a file list into edit window based on various parameters for running a script on all files in the list
Backup single (active) file Creates a time-stamped backup file of the active file in the same directory
Is Unicode file Function which detects if just opened text file is loaded as Unicode file or as an ASCII/ANSI file
Snippets Emulates "snippets" via scripting engine when coding HTML
Sort Lines Based on Length Sorts entire file based on length of lines (Not for use on very large files)
Hide Lines Not Containing String Hide all lines not containing a certain search string via hide/show lines.
Remove Successive Lines With Duplicates Checks one line at a time. If the line contains a match of the specified regular expression, then the next line is checked as well. If both lines contain a match, and the matches are exactly the same, the second line is considered a duplicate and deleted from the file.
Merge text files Script to merge / combine / copy the content of all specified files in a specified folder or all open files into a new file
Merge CSV files Script to merge / combine / copy the data of all files with extension CSV in a specified folder into a new file with special CSV related options
Javadoc comment block for a function Creates a Javadoc comment block for a function signature with the function's parameters and return type parsed and included.
Getter/setter method generator Generates getter/setter methods (as typical in Java code)
Get line terminator Function that will detect the line terminator of the active document, then store it in a variable "terminator" that may be accessed globablly and used for other operations.
Count selected lines When invoked, returns a prompt of how many lines are currently selected
Count selected lines v2 An updated selected line counter with automatic support for DOS, Unix, and Mac line terminators
CSV transposer Takes a csv file and transposes the data horizontally
Delete lines containing string Deletes lines containing user-specified string, then reports on what was deleted
Join lines Automatically joins/combines selected lines
Columnizer Takes a multi-row selection and inserts spaces between the words, as necessary, to form columns.
Line randomizer Converts selected text into an array split at each line terminator, then randomizes the array and writes out each line randomly
XML title save Finds the <title> value in an XML document, then saves the file as the title.xml in a user-specified directory
Filter lines Filters lines from file containing a specified string (like List lines containing string)
Convert all open files to DOS line terminators Converts all open files to DOS format (0D 0A line terminators)
Convert box-bracket function parameters to comments This script changes open and close box brackets in function parameters in selected text with open and close comments
Sort Strings Takes a set of selected strings and sorts them alphanumerically (assumes that the strings are separated by commas)
Zap Gremlins (remove non-printable characters) Removes non printable characters (known as "gremlins") from file. If a selection exists prior to the script being played, then it will remove non-printable characters from the selection (no reporting).
