EditRocket provides the tools and features necessary to allow programmers to edit, create, debug, and navigate source code quickly and easily. EditRocket is a source code editor, text editor, and software development tool with custom tools and support for the following programming languages:

Enhanced Feature Set Standard Feature Set
C Java Perl Scala ActionScript Groovy TSQL
C++ jаvascript PHP Shell Script Ada PL/SQL Win Batch
CSS JSP Python Text COBOL SQL
HTML Objective-C Ruby XML C# SQL PL

Source Code Editor

The EditRocket source code editor and text editor includes many tools and features to make programming easier. The source code editor supports over 20 programming languages with custom tools and features for each language. See the language specific pages for more information. Listed below are the general purpose source code editing features included in EditRocket. See the text editor page for more information on text manipulation, searching, bracket matching, etc.
Code Builders

The EditRocket source code editor includes tools called code builders for several languages. The code builders allow users to look up programming language API and library information such as library functions for languages such as PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc., class and method information of library classes for languages such as Java, tag and style information for languages such as CSS and HTML, and so on. Users can then click on the particular code to copy it into the source code editor.
Source Code Inserts

The source code editor includes functionality called code inserts that allow users to quickly insert common programming language specific coding constructs such as if and else statements, for and while loops, try and catch blocks, etc. The inserts are also fully customizable to allow users to edit or create their own source code inserts.
Function and Method navigators

EditRocket parses the contents of the current editor tab to display a list of functions or methods. EditRocket uses the current language setting for the editor to determine how to parse the contents. For example, Java methods would be parsed differently than PHP functions. The Function / Method Navigator tool parses the contents and then displays in alphabetical order the functions or methods contained in the editor. Next to each function or method is a button the user can click to be taken directly to the function or method.
Auto Completion

EditRocket currently supports auto code completion for Java, jаvascript, JSP, Python, PL/SQL, and Ruby, auto tag lookup and completion for HTML, auto code block completion for C-style langauges such as Java, C++, C, jаvascript, PHP, etc., auto tag closure and completion for XML, and auto function signature display for PHP and C.

EditRocket also supports function lookup for many languages, which behaves similarly to auto-complete in its execution. Function lookup can be executed using the C + L keyboard shortcut. Function Lookup is especially useful for languages for which EditRocket has code builders, such as C, jаvascript, Perl, PHP, PL/SQL, Python, Ruby, Shell Script, and Transact-SQL since EditRocket can display signature information as a tooltip for these languages.
Executing Programs

EditRocket provides support for executing programs for Java, Perl, Python, and Ruby. EditRocket will search the operating system for common locations for the required libraries to execute the programs, and handle passing the appropriate arguments to execute the program. Standard output and standard error streams are then displayed to the user.

Showing programs in a Web Browser

EditRocket provides support for executing dynamic language pages in a web browser. These languages include JSP, PHP, Perl, Python, and Ruby. EditRocket will prompt the user for the URL and document root of the local web server, and then launch a web browser to display the output of the page. EditRocket can also display static HTML pages in the web browser.
Auto Completion

EditRocket currently supports auto code completion for Java, jаvascript, JSP, Python, PL/SQL, and Ruby, auto tag lookup and completion for HTML, auto code block completion for C-style langauges such as Java, C++, C, jаvascript, PHP, etc., auto tag closure and completion for XML, and auto function signature display for PHP and C. See below for the details for each language.

File System Browser

EditRocket provides a file system browser that allows users to browse files and directories on the file system.

The file system browser can be shown or hidden via the View menu.

The file system browser can display files and browsers in single-level mode, where only one directory's contents are shown at a time, or the file system browser can display all files and directories in a tree structure. This setting can be toggled on and off with the Show Parent Directories and Hide Parent Directories icons.

The context menu of the file system browser provides many tools such as moving, renaming, copying, and deleting files, and tools such as head, tail, get section, get info, size, etc.

Listed below are descriptions of the available options on the file system browser:

Show Parent Directories:
This option will display files and directories in a tree-like view, with parent directories visible.
Hide Parent Directories:
This option will show one directory at a time. Opening a sub-directory hides the parent directory.
Driver Drop-down:
On Windows machine, if you would like to change the root driver for the file system browser, select it from the drive drop-down.
Open:
This option opens the currently selected file or files.
New File:
This option creates a new file in the currently active directory.
New Folder:
This option creates a new folder in the currently active directory.
Sort:
Users can sort how the files display in the file system browser by name, date modified, and time.
Filter:
Users can filter what files are shown in the file system browser using this option.
Size:
This option shows the size of the selected file in bytes, kilobytes, and megabytes.
Detail View:
This option shows all files in the currently selected directory in a detailed table view, or if a file is selected, shows a detailed view of the file information.
Get Info:
This option shows the name, type, last modified, and size information for a file.
Search:
This option allows users to search for text in a file. The search also supports regular expressions. Any lines in the file that contain the search text will be displayed in a new editor tab.
Head:
The user enters the number of lines they would like to see, and the head option displays that number of lines in a new editor tab starting from the first line in the file. This is useful for showing the beginning of very large files.
Tail:
The user enters the number of lines they would like to see, and the tail option displayed the number of lines in a new editor. The tail option displays lines at the end of the file. This is useful for showing the end of a very large file.
Get Section:
This option takes a begin line number and end line number, and then displays the file lines between these numbers in a new editor tab.
Combine Files:
This option allows users to combine multiple files into one file.
Rename:
Use this option to rename a file or directory.
Copy:
Use this option to copy file(s) or directories.
Move:
Use this option to move file(s) or directories.
Delete:
Use this option to delete file(s) or directories from the file system.
Recent Files:
Shows a list of the most recent files accessed by the user.
Recent Directories:
Shows a list of the recent directories corresponding to the most recent files accessed by the user.
Favorites:
Displays a list of the files stored in the users EditRocket favorites.
Use as File Tree Root:
Select this option to specify a directory to use as the file tree root when launching EditRocket.
Set Root To:
Use this option to set the file tree root to a particular directory.
Refresh:
Use this option to refresh the files and directories displayed in the file system browser.

FTP and SFTP Client and Browser

EditRocket provides an SFTP and FTP client. It supports file and directory operations such as download, upload, delete, rename, open, download as, and upload as. It includes a full featured SFTP and FTP browser for browsing both the local and remote file systems. The browser includes support for filtering and sorting files and directories, and includes information such as file name, last modified time, and file size.

The FTP and SFTP client is available via the Tools - FTP / SFTP Client option. Users can also choose to open or save files directly to the FTP / SFTP server using the following menu options: File - FTP / SFTP - Open, and File - FTP / SFTP - Save.

Listed below are images for the FTP / SFTP client and the connection screen to create FTP or SFTP connections. Click on the image links below to see larger images.
