Active String page¶
The Active String page allows you to specify a behavior for each event. Displays the list of items that can be customized as Active String. The items include URLs, email addresses, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, strings enclosed by quotation marks, HTML Character Reference, Universal Character Names/Percent-encoding, Hexadecimal colors, RGB colors, Markers, and Search string. However, each Active String can be enabled or disabled per configuration in the Link page of configuration properties. Displays the list of events that can be selected as triggers at which an action starts running automatically. Specifies an action when the specified event for the specified type is triggered. If this is checked, the active string will be selected before running the specified action. Some actions might require this check box set. If None was selected for the Action drop-down list box, the active string will be simply selected without any actions. When Run Program is selected for the Action drop-down list box, you can specify the name of a program, folder, document, or Internet resources to open. You can use the > button to select predefined macros, for instance, $(Path), or the ... button to select a file from the computer.

You can use the > button to select predefined macros, for instance, $(Path), or the ... button to select a file from the computer.

When EmEditor Command is selected for the Action drop-down list box, you can choose the command to execute from this drop-down list box.
