Hello,

Is there a good free script editor which allows you to find out which line you are on? Sometimes I see an error in for example, config.php on line 237. How can I quickly find line 237?

Thanks,
Matt Midgley

if I understood what you wanted right.. you can use Notepad and press CTRL+G to quickly goto a specific line. Think most editors have this..

Or you could try a real source editor like Crimson Editor, Context, Scite or gVim. These are all much more tailored to software development than notepad.

I Personally prefer Winsyntax.

Not only does i have line numbers, it does syntax highlighting for you, it supports and file type, and will highlight css,html,js,php,phtml,sql (and pgsql), ini and inf. Also if you have a custom php extension, for example if you use .wht as your php extenstion, you can add it and it will use the php highlighing for you:)

Best of all, last time i checked i was free

If you ever wonder over to vim:

in command mode:

:set nu
