(for me)

[B+]

Aurel, could you add a link?

[Aurel]

here is a link i found on reddit
 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/compilers101/info

posted by our well know member Ed Davis ...i don't know that he is active there too 
where he explain something about code editors atto and how to build code editor in less than 1000lines of
C code ... unfortunatelly i doubt that this compile under windows 

[Aurel]

Unfortunatelly ..most of this c-raps tend to build AST
Ed-s toy not build AST and that is why I like -et

how to build code editor in less than 1000lines

That's exaggerated, 26 lines should be enough:

GuiMenu equ @Files, &New..., &Open..., &Save, &Build, -, E&xit, @Edit, Cut, Copy, Paste, @Options, Settings, @Help, &About
GuiParas equ "Editor demo", x100, y50, w900, h600      ; menu and paras are optional, if omitted, title is filename
include \masm32\MasmBasic\Res\MbGui.asm         ; part of MasmBasic
GuiControl MyEdit, "RichEdit", wCL$(), font -16        ; use Unicode commandline and a big font (use MakeFont for special needs)
GuiControl MyStatus, "statusbar", "Ready, Готовы, 準備, ..."

Event Menu
  Switch_ MenuID
  Case_ 0: SetWin$ hMyEdit=0    ; pass a nullpointer to clear the control
  Case_ 1
        .if wFileOpen$("Unicode text=*.txu|Plain text=*.txt|Rich text=*.as?;*.rtf|All files=*.*", "Select a file", "Добро_пожаловать.txu")
               SetWin$ hMyEdit=wFileRead$(wFileOpen$())        ; do not use wSetWin$
        .endif
  Case_ 2
        .if FileSave$("Plain text=*.txt|Rich text=*.as?;*.rtf|All files=*.*")
                .if MbOfn.nFilterIndex==2
                                FileWrite FileSave$(), stream:hMyEdit   ; rich text
                .else
                                FileWrite FileSave$(), Win$(hMyEdit)    ; normal text
                .endif
        .endif
  Case_ 3
        FileWrite "tmpBuild.asm", Win$(hMyEdit)
        Launch Cat$("build.bat tmpBuild.asm"
  Case_ 4 .. 9
        MsgBox 0, Str$("Menu #%i not yet implemented", MenuID), "Hi", MB_OK
  Endsw_
GuiEnd

It depends a bit on your needs, of course: RichMasm is a bit over 20,000 lines now

over 20,000 lines now

Dude ....
you know with that amount of code I expect totally new assembler/compiler/linker
right?

[jj2007]

you know with that amount of code I expect totally new assembler/compiler/linker

The totally new assembler is here. RichMasm is an editor, and a very special one. If you deal with a 30,000+ lines source, RichMasm offers some great functionality. Inter alia, I use it also to build my BASIC, C and Pascal sources. I would never use one of those toy editors for a complex task

[Aurel]

wow UASM looking good but is not ASMosphere and i am not asm programmer
but that is not a point of my wow! ... i simply mean why your richmasm is not standalone ?
and ...you know ?

[jj2007]

why your richmasm is not standalone ?

RichMasm is a standalone editor
