SciteStart

Written by Javier Arévalo (http://www.iguanademos.com/Jare) in 2006.

SciteStart is a small utility to open files in SciTE. The files are opened as tabs in an existing SciTE window (if one is found, otherwise a new window is opened). It's just a modified version of scitecmd by Niklas Frykholm (http://www.frykholm.se/scitecmd.html), so all credit should go to him. My changes are basically making it a windows executable (so it doesn't open a shell window), adding an option for specifying the path to scite.exe (default is scite.exe in the same directory as SciteStart.exe), and making it work even when some apps in the system are not responsive or being debugged.

Syntax:

SciteStart [file] options

  -h          Print this help text.
  -l line     Go to line number line in the file.
  -f text     Find the text text in the file.
  -i text     Insert text in the file.
  -n          Create a new empty window.
  -s          Open a new window with STDIN content.
  -d path     Path to SciTE executable.
  -c cmd      Raw scite command.

Installation

Just copy the file SciteStart.exe to your wscite directory.

Shell Integration

If you want to register SciteStart in Explorer's right-click menu, you can use a simple Registry file for this purpose:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\SciTE]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\SciTE\command]
@="\"C:\\Soft\\wscite\\SciTEStart.exe\" \"%1\""

Set the correct path for the wscite install folder.
