Unflappable Drayk adc. Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yes. I have succeeded after 3 hours of figuring out, has led a new errrrr... discovery? --------------- If you are a script editor and you found yourself in a well... scattered script such as you know, this: Will be organized for better view by using this method: Method: ATTENTION: This only works for Windows. Idk if it does on Mac... 1.) On a notepad, press ctrl + a then copy 2.) Paste it on wordpad 3.) press ctrl + a then copy again 4.) paste it on a new notepad, name it with the script's name then save it easy as 123 ------------------ -Advice, Nightwatcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Is the point here to fix the lack of line breaks? A word like "scattered" isn't really descriptive enough to explain what you're talking about. This probably isn't an issue on Macs or in most word processing programs because they'll recognize the line breaks properly to begin with. It's just that Notepad has issues.

Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 What Kel said. The scripts show up with the correct line breaks in any decent text editor. Notepad does not count as decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Erebus the Black Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yeah, opening with npp (notepad plus plus) usually does the trick, try it, it's free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 As someone who has been using Notepad for years and always just manually inserted the line breaks because he is a neanderthal, thank you for showing me this.

Notepad does not count as decent. Really, the only justification for using Notepad is because it's on every computer produced over the past half century. Something like n++ or SciTE should really be used if you're just editing scrips on your computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I use Notepad pretty much always, unless I need line numbers. Then I use Crimson Editor, which is about a million years old itself. Still, it is free, and it does everything I want from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 What everyone else said. Hell, even gedit is better than Windows Notepad. Nano is better than windows notepad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYT. I can't speak for what text editing software comes with the various Linux distros, but TextEdit in OS X displays line breaks correctly. I prefer BBEdit for scripting though.

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Linux distros usually package Gedit for GNOME and Kedit (?) for KDE. Although from text-mode, most all have nano or vim, and if not it's just an apt-get away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk adc. Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Well yeah, thanks for the line break thing. I wasn't really an experienced script editor. I'm just a random guy who studies scripts inside scripts. Which, is a slow and a fun way to study scripts. -------------- To most who commented: Thanks for the suggestions/ideas to you guys. I only posted this to all who weren't computer pros or just internet kids like me. At least it could help to any computer newbies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Erebus the Black Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 If we're talking about scripts, do you know how I can tell the script to read the screen (for example find a button with a specific word and click on it with the mouse)? An acquaintance once told me he made a script that played a scrabble word game for him, it read the letters off the screen, compared them to a dictionary and offered the highest score possibilities. But he didn't want to tell me how he did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open the file using just about any text editor other than Notepad. 2.) Delete/add a character. 3.) Undo the action you took in step #2. 4.) Click "Save."
