file input/output hook ?

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

does anybody know if there hooks in NEdit which are run whenever NEdit
opens or closes a file?

I'd like to use such hook to invoke recode transforming from/to utf-8
to/from latin1.

Thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

There's 'nedit (or nc) -do <command> <filename>'. According to the nedit docs:

-do command
Execute an NEdit macro or action on the file following the -do
argument on the command line. -do is particularly useful from the nc
program, where nc -do can remotely execute commands in an NEdit
-server session.

I'm not aware of any close file hook but you can certainly create a
macro that does whatever transformation you want and closes the file.

Is there a way to configure NEdit to save a copy of a document every 10 minutes?
Or after 200 characters have been changed?

If you have Incremental Backups checked in the Preferences drop down, then
nedit will save a backup copy of your document after every 8 editing operations
or 80 characters changed. I don't know if there is any way to change that
frequency.

The incremental save files have names starting with ~; "Untitled" ones get
saved to your home directory (eg "~Untitled").
