Scripting editor for OS X?

  • Follow


Anyone recommend a good script editor for Mac OS X?

Just finished a 4-day PHP class in front of a Windows machine, and liked 
the editor we used. Don't recall the name, but it gave line numbers as 
well as some color coding, etc.

Having trouble finding the same in an editor that'll run on OS X.

There's BBEdit, which is nice.  It's a native OSX app so it's all
Macified.  There are numerous other editors availible.

Go to http://versiontracker.com and search for text editors.

You could also go download X11 and fink

http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/download/
http://fink.sourceforge.net/

and then have your choice of NEdit, Emacs, vi, or whatever.

UltraEdit is superior: you can use tabs for different files. And 
different windows. I work on more than twenty different files. Every 
file can have it's own ftp connection. I asked UtraEdit to make UNIX/OSX 
version. They were thinking about it. So for my job I have to work on 
the other platform unfortunately.

_ The OS X version of emacs will do this with a little prodding,
  but emacs is not to everyone's taste.

Almost as good as the old System 7.5 shirt-- on the front was "System 
7.5 sucks less", and on the back was "We've upped our standards, so up 
yours!".
