hi:) ,
I want to be able to use textpad and borland C compiler (command line compiler) together. I am not able to integrate them. I followed the instructions in the help file but still no luck. Please help me.

hi:) ,
I want to be able to use textpad and borland C compiler (command line compiler) together. I am not able to integrate them. I followed the instructions in the help file but still no luck. Please help me.
Isnt there anyone to help me?:(
Which compiler exactly ?
Borland C++ 5.5
Try using Mingw.
There are alot of that type of editors available for it.
I'm using Borland C++ 5.5 with Wordpad text editor. To write a program, I open a file in the same directory as the compiler, change it to a text file, and then write my program and save it. I then open a DOS window to compile and run it. If this doesn't help, maybe you could supply more info.
My last message should have read Notepad, rather than Wordpad (not a pure text editor). Basically, any text editor will work. I found some help in using the Borland compiler at:

hi Guys,
Thanx for all ur replies. Here is what i managed to do. i am now able to compile the program from Textpad. But when i run any program, i get this error
'.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Press any key to continue...
I am not able to understand what the error means.
Can anyone help pls?:(
Have you tried asking on http://www.textpad.com/forum/index.php
Why use Notepad? There are a lot of quite small and easy to use programmer's file editors available for download. PFE is a good example.

Such programmer's file editors are meant to develop code and are independent to a compiler or language. Very nice.
But isn't it much more convenient and fast to hav an editor, actually an IDE which has a built-in compiler. When whenever u edit some code u just havta click compile and run to try it out. INSTEAD of writing the code, save it, open dos, compile it and THEN run it? Thats why i chose DevC++.
Thats my opinion.
Its not necessarily faster to do it in Dev C++.
Command lines give much greater customisation and flexibility.
For example, on an older computer compiling a program through dev takes up to 3 min. Using mingw directly through the command line means that you can specify to only recompile the one file that you have been working on. This can REALLY save time.
A built-in compiler? You mean an editor which has a compiler built in it? I've never seen such. Even old things like Turbo C and Turbo Pascal didn't have that. They had a command-line compiler and an editor which was strongly connected to the compiler. By pressing a certain key-combination or choosing compile from the menu, you could start the compiler to do things.Quote:

That's the same for programmer's file editors. In a good programmer's file editor you can setup the editor to support several languages, several compilers and much more. If you click on a C file, the editor uses layout for C-code, or it uses layout for ASM-code if you click on a ASM-file. And just press something like Make or Compile to create binaries.
That's why I use PFE and CodeWright.
So u mean a file editor can link up certain compilers so u don't have to go in the command line to compile, saving time ?
It depends on what one you get.
