XMLValidator4UE 1.0 readme

Short description

The freeware tool XMLValidator4UE is an extension to the famous text editor UltraEdit 32 . It allows you to validate XML files for wellformedness and to check them against DTD and XSD schemas. Found errors are reported and it's possible to jump directly to the concerned position in the editor.

Validates XML files for wellformedness.
Checks against DTD and XSD schemas.
Offers to jump to the position of the reported errors.
Registers itself as a tool in UltraEdit32.

Installation

The installer will register XMLValidator4UE automatically as a tool to UltraEdit32. If there should already be 24 other tools installed, then you will have to unregister another tool first. The registration can also be done manually with the entry in the startup menu Register to UltraEdit32.

Please note that the registration only works, if UltraEdit32 stores it's information in the ini file (default) and not in the registry.

Operating instructions

Start UltraEdit32 and open the the XML file you want to validate. You can find XMLValidator4UE in the tools section of the menu Extras, start it and it will open a report window. If there are errors found, you can doublecklick on the line to jump to the place of the error.

Command line

XMLValidator4UE can be started from the command line, normally that's not necessary, but this way you can use it also independent of UltraEdit32 as a console application:

XMLValidator4UE [inputfile] [/REGISTERUE]

`inputfile`	Name of the xml file to validate. If the path contains space characters, the name has to be set in quotes.
`REGISTERUE`	Used by the installer to register itself as an UltraEdit32 tool.

The following example validates an XML file.
XMLValidator4UE "D:\app data\was_gde.xml"
