  • The Hessling Editor (THE) is one of the older open source text editor projects (started in 1990, first released in August 1992 according to its history file). For more than ten years it has been written and maintained by Mark Hessling, who along with being the original author of THE is also a maintainer of Regina, an open source REXX interpreter that has been ported to most Unix platforms. THE is a text editor modeled on the VM/CMS editor XEDIT, adding the best features of Mansfield Software's Kedit. Among the key features of the editor: -- availability of folding which can be controlled in various sophisticated ways (keyword based, indent based, etc). -- the use of REXX as macro language. Folding is controlled by the "all" command. It permits to display and work on only those lines in a file that contain a given pattern. For example, the command: all /string/ will display only the lines that include "string"; any global changes you make on this slice (for example replace string command) will be reflected in the file. (In most cases this is a more convenient way to make global changes in the file. ) In order to restore visibility of all lines you need to enter: all (without a target string). Like other members of orthodox text editor family, THE uses IBMs REXX as its macro language, which makes THE highly configurable and versatile. This provides the ability to create powerful extensions to the editor and/or customize it to specialized needs. For example, you could create edit commands that would allow you to manipulate columns of text (e.g. copy/move or insert/delete a column of text within a file). With REXX, you can also integrate OS commands or external functions into an edit session. Since version 3.0, THE also has user-configurable syntax highlighting. THE is free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. It is available for many operating systems: most or all POSIX Unix platforms (as a program for text-mode or native X11); QNX, OS/2, DOS, BeOS, Amiga, Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP.
  • THE est un éditeur de texte en logiciel libre calqué sur le Xavier's Editor de VM/CMS et programmable en REXX sur les systèmes ouverts, dont Linux. L'une de ses commandes les plus puissantes est ALL qui permet de n'afficher que les lignes d'un fichier contenant une chaîne de caractères (ou satisfaisant une expression régulière) donnée, et de permettre sur ces lignes des modifications - soit sélectives, soit globales - dans ce mode. Il est disponible pour les plateformes POSIX / Unix, QNX, OS/2, DOS, BeOS, Amiga, Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP. Sa programmation en REXX, le rend très polyvalent : on peut créer sous forme de macros de puissantes extensions de l'éditeur et le configurer tout type de besoins particuliers (la puissance de pattern-matching de REXX permet d'automatiser la plupart des opérations de façon éventuellement sensible au contexte). La colorisation syntaxique est bien entendu présente, depuis sa version 3. Son auteur Mark Hessling est également l'auteur de Regina-Rexx, portage open source sur Unix/Linux du puissant langage de script REXX des mainframes.
