Does anyone know of a VB Script Editor/Debugger that is similar to
VBSEdit? I purchased VBSEdit and it crashed. I can't get their tech
people to respond to emails and I'm ready to move on to something else.

The only thing I would ever use is PrimalScript. They keep raising
their prices, which is annoying, and keeps me looking around for
something else, but I keep coming back to it. It has a good
intellisense which is hard to find on other products.

I am satisfied with the following editor: http://www.pspad.com. It is
freeware.

If you want something free Notpad++ has been working fine for me, and

I must grudgingly agree, Primal Script is a great product. It is just so expensive.

And has some minor annoyances like the red "error-underline" that stays
on even after you've corrected the error, the syntax helper-box that
dissapeers and wont reapper until you've erased half the line and
startet over... and the debugger that resizes to a 10pixel wide box and
cant be resized :-/

Other than that, its a great editor :)

The error underline goes away when you move the cursor away from the
current line, as the code is reparsed.
The parameter tooltip (at least I think this is what you refer to) can
be made to reappear by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Space if needed.
If you have managed to move the debugger windows into a non-resizable
state (we are aware of the potential problem)
it is pretty easy to reset. Simply contact us in our support forum and
someone will help you.

If you happen to be using win98 and ofc2k, then you will also
have "Microsoft Script Editor" (MSE.EXE) installed. Note that
if there is an error in a webpage script, and you get an offer
"do you wish to debug?", then MSE.EXE is the debugger which gets
called).

While MSE.EXE is "not exactly" free, if you have already purchased
win98 and ofc2k, then you will have it.

Granted that MSE.EXE is not as good as primalscript, but it does
have intellisense and debuging capabilities. There have been some
complaints that these capabilities must be re-configured a bit
for stand-alone scripts, but you can find how to do that by
searching the archives of this ng (google => google groups =>
advanced group search).

As best I recall, there is also a "Microsoft Script Editor"
available in newer systems than win98 & ofc2k, although the name
of it may have changed a bit.

cheers, jw

p.s. There is also a "Microsoft Script Debugger" posted on the
microsoft scripting website, that dates back to the 1990's. It
may be confused with MSE.EXE because of the similar name, but
that is an inferior product to MSE.EXE, and I would recommend
avoiding that one.

OK, I will be the first to vote for VIM(http://www.vim.org), and likely the
last.

I tried a free trial of PrimalScript and found that it did not offer me enough
gains
to pony up the doe. I guess I have never really has issues with debugging
scripts
and the editor with PrimalScript does not even come close to VIM.

I'm also a long time vi/VIM user, but I'm always looking for new tweaks. Do you
have any suggestions for settings, keymappings, syntax hilighting, etc. that
you've found particularly helpful for editing scripts?

Sorry, I keep things pretty simple. Here is my _vimrc file.

:colorscheme darkblue
:syntax on
:set guifont=lucida_console
:set columns=132
:set lines=80
:set tabstop=4

Well, I kind of like that alternate color scheme, so your post was still helpful. =)

My newly modified _vimrc - with keys configured to switch between the default
and darkblue schemes, depending on my mood - looks like this:


colorscheme darkblue
set nocompatible " must be first
set autoindent
set wrap
set shiftwidth=2
set ignorecase
set ruler

behave xterm
set selectmode=mouse
set guifont=Lucida_Console:h9
set guioptions=egmrLt

set comments=:;---\ ,:;\ ,:'\ ,:'---\ ,:--,:;\
set history=25

set hlsearch

map <F5> :set hls!<bar>set hls?<CR>

:map <F6> :if exists("syntax_on") <Bar>
\ syntax off <Bar>
\ else <Bar>
\ syntax enable <Bar>
\ endif <CR> <CR>

:syntax enable

map <F7> :colorscheme default<CR>

map <F8> :colorscheme darkblue<CR>

On Solaris, it was the best game in town. Last time I used it, it still wasn't
as nice as NotePad++. I am going to play with it now.

It is ok, but no tabs. This is not insurpasable, due to the fact that you can
open two files at once, and due diff. It also looks nice. But it has a pain in
the bu** configuration file. Also when I select options, it does not indicate
which stuff I select. This could be because I am color blind but, it just does
not seem to be a good editor for what I do. It looks much better from what I
used to use, glad to see it is still being made.

For Office>2000 the name is MSE7.exe
It doesn't need to start a script with '<%
to have the syntax highlighting (required in mse.exe).
Both include an object viewer.
