Is there a program like notepad, or Word, that tells you what line you're at? This would help find errors.

get notepad++ http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm its much better for simple scripting and such

Thanks, but the error that cc reported isn't there! :O

I can recommend http://www.editpadpro.com/, it's awesome. I use it when i code PHP. It's got a ton of features. I love the syntax highlighting.

EDIT: I can vouch for Notepad++ too, it's awesome.

That one is exacly what I was looking for......
Cause my crappy notepad does'nt show lines, I was countin lines... (Such a shame... Well, I only counted lines untill line 90 or so, after that (Like line 4k!!!!) I just copyied to Word and started lookng....)

Ted Notepad FTW! It's free! http://jsimlo.sk/notepad/

Use Ctrl + G.

In notepad, among the File/Edit/etc buttons there's a button called "View" and under this menu is a option called "Status Bar"
This status bar is what has the line # display.

Notepad++ is awesome. And more importantly free. That gets another awesome.

Notepad won't display the status bar, or indeed function well at all, if you have Word Wrap turned on.

Turn it on, and it's all good, really.

On Notepad, the status bar is displayed on the bottom of the window.

Ooo editpadpro looks pretty good too.

But yeah you guys need to ditch the default notepad that comes with windows, its just not that helpful an editor if you are trying to debug your code. The main disadvantage is that basic notepad does not give you line numbers. So much easier to debug if you can go straight to the line with error (that CC tells you).

you can, it's called "go to"

sorry but it doesn't display the line numbers for easy reference. It doesn't allow you to comment out whole blocks of code with a right click. There is no syntax highlighting. It has a crap find and replace feature. the list goes on and on.

On the normal NOTEPAD just turn on the STATUS BAR in VIEW so it tells you how many letters are on each line and what line you are currently on, OR go to FORMAT and make sure WORD WRAP is off and then go to EDIT and click GO TO (ctrl + G) and type in any line you want and it will take you to the specified line.
