Running script from UltraEdit on Windows

Post by davec »

Howdy,
I would like to use UltraEdit as my IDE, but currently if I try to run my script from UE, the output from the Hollywood script only appears in the UE Output Window once the Hollywood app has finished.

Any ideas how to get it to output of the Hollywood script to the OutputWindow of UE while the Hollywood script is actually running?

Thanks
Dave

Try running Hollywood with the "-forceflush" console argument. This should solve the problem...

You also need to use Hollywood_Console.exe, not Hollywood.exe.

Hmm, then this looks like an UltraEdit limitation. When using -forceflush Hollywood will flush all output to stdout after each new line so it's definitely possible to capture this and redirect it to an output window while the program is still running. But I'm not sure if UltraEdit supports this at all. When googling this it seems like lots of people have a similar problem with UltraEdit and it appears that UltraEdit doesn't really support it. I'd try asking their support if realtime capturing of stdout is actually supported...

Quite astonishing that this isn't supported in UltraEdit yet. It's not rocket science to make this work ;)
