EmEditor Professional 24.0.0 (32-bit)

What's new in this version:

In this version, we have also responded to many requests from our customers:
- Onigmo regular expressions now support the QE syntax This syntax allows you to disable regular expression metacharacters without needing to escape them For example, to search for the string [ac], the conventional regular expression would require you to escape the metacharacters "[", "", "]" with backslashes, [ac] In the new version, you can simply write Q[ac]E, eliminating the need to escape metacharacters Note that Boost‘s Regex has supported the QE syntax for some time
- We added an option to the Find Next and Find Previous commands that only matches non-overlapping strings For example, if you search for “AA” in the string “AAAAA”, initially only the first four characters, “AAAA”, are highlighted When you execute the Find Next (F3) command, the search position shifts one character at a time, allowing you to search through all the “AA” pairs With this version, setting the Find only non-overlapping strings in Find Next/Previous checkbox in the Advanced dialog box makes the command operate in a way that only non-overlapping strings match, ending the search leaving the last “A” unsearched, thus aligning the highlight with the search position
- In EmEditor, URI and email addresses are highlighted, and we frequently receive requests to extract just those parts In previous versions, this could be done by specifying an appropriate regular expression in the Find dialog and selecting Extract, but many of our customers are not familiar with regular expressions In this version, you can easily extract just the URIs or email addresses by specifying options in the Extract Frequent Strings command
- When opening a CSV in EmEditor, the delimiter positions are automatically adjusted by default However, very long cells can cause the column width to become very wide, making the entire CSV hard to view In this version, we added a Maximum column width textbox to the CSV Options page of the Customize dialog, allowing you to specify the maximum column width
- In the previous version, EmEditor started displaying a warning message when a file opened in it was deleted by another application In this version, you can choose whether or not to display the warning message It can be specified on the File page of the Configuration Properties via the Prompt if file deleted checkbox
- Some customers have reported slow startup times for EmEditor on recent versions of Windows 11 This is primarily due to the retrieval of the Windows Clipboard History during startup The new version has this option disabled by default, but it can be enabled on the Clipboard page of the Customize dialog
- The new version disables the Switch to no wrap option in the Compare Files wizard by default
