I've been using SImple Text to write my CGI's for a while and it works great, but lately my scripts have been getting long. Recently, I tried to paste some code into an already long Simple Text file and it wouldn't accept it. It said (to paraphrase) the limits of the Simple Text file had been reached.

What do I use now? I have tried with Dreamweaver, but it starts throwing in random tags that mess up the script every time i go into edit, and it doesn't look like word perfect will work because of embedded code.

I must have other options. If they're out there, I figured you guys would know where to point me.

thanks monks,

cdherold

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
