Trying to use EditPadPro for my SVN_EDITOR
Hello,
I tried making EditPadPro.exe my SVN_EDITOR using the following command line
set command on WinXP SP2:
set /P SVN_EDITOR=
C:\Progra~1\JGsoft\EditPadPro6\EditPadPro.exe
but when I try to do a 'svn commit', the EditPadPro.exe editor pops up as
expected and I save my comments, close the svn-commit.tmp file after adding
my comments like this:
===================
- added unnecessary comment to test the SVN_EDITOR environment variable
being set to EditPadPro.exe
- removed the .user file from source control
--This line, and those below, will be ignored--
M Program.cs
D HFXMLImporter.csproj.user
===================
...and the svn commit displays the following message:
==================
C:\Projects\HFXMLImporter\HFXMLImporter>svn commit
Log message unchanged or not specified
a)bort, c)ontinue, e)dit
If I set the SVN_EDITOR environment variable back to notepad.exe, everything
works properly.
Any ideas? Would it be the default encoding of EditPadPro or something like
that?
Thanks,

Ryan, Ulrich,
You guys were right again. I contacted the developer of EditPad Pro for
assistance. He is always quick to reply and very helpful. The editor does
act like a wrapper and can be configured to stay running in the background.
I use this configuration because it is multi-tabbed and I can have multiple
files open at once.
Here is the reply from the developer:
EditPad Pro does not use a wrapper, but it does behave like one if there's

So Ryan, as you recommended, I created a simple batch script that calls the
editor with a switch [/newinstance] and then forwards on the remaining
arguments. This switch tells the editor to "force
the new instance", otherwise you get the behavior that I described in my
first message.
Here is the content of the batch script which I named myeditor.cmd and saved
in my PATH:
C:\Progra~1\JGsoft\EditPadPro6\EditPadPro.exe /newinstance "%*"
Hope this helps someone else, and thanks again for your assistance.

You'll have to ask the authors of EditPad Pro, but I suspect that the
parameters it accepts on the command line are not the same (or at
least not in the same order) that Subversion sends them, or maybe you
need to send some additional EditPad Pro-specific arguments.
For comparison: to use TextWrangler as my editor on my Mac, I set
EDITOR=editor.sh and I wrote editor.sh as follows:
#!/bin/sh
edit +1 --wait --resume "$@"
The first line identifies this as a Bourne shell script. In the
second line, "edit" opens TextWrangler, "+1" tells it to select the
first line of the opened file, "--wait" tells the terminal to wait
until TextWrangler saves and closes the file before proceeding, "--
resume" tells TextWrangler to switch back to the terminal when the
file is saved and closed, and "$@" passes along to TextWrangler all
the arguments passed to editor.sh, which would be the filename. Maybe
you need to make a similar wrapper script (but tailored to EditPad
Pro's needs, whatever those might be).

If you run notepad from the commandline, it starts the process and then
returns to the commandline, which you can prevent with 'start /wait notepad'.
This behaviour is AFAIK standard for all windows applications (as opposed to
console applications) under MS Windows. If EditPadPro behaves differently, I
guess that the executable is in fact only a wrapper that starts the real
editor and then terminates. You will have to ask the vendor of that tool
if/how you can wait.

The default encoding probably has nothing to do with it.
