regret later. So +1 on the change of editor, but -1 for Emacs or
anything too complicated. If you're looking to learn Erlang rather
than a new editor then avoid an editor which might be considered a
learning curve by itself. Notepad++ or Sublime are good options,
but anything simple with syntax highlighting and line numbers
would be fine.

<div>The errors that Erlang spits out might be a little hard to
grok to start with. Make sure you're running the latest version
of Erlang on your machine (ie. something >= 15) so that you
get line numbers in the error output.</div>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
My first proposal is to change the editor to something
more usable like emacs or if you prefer something
different then notepad++, sublime text or eclipse +
erlIDE. Everyone of these are able to show you the line
numbers and offer syntax highlight features.<br>
<br>
It would help a lot if you tell us which code you are
looking at. Server callbacks probably mean gen_server
callbacks so it doesn't matter if you are using windows
or linux.<br>

I have just started to learn Erlang............<br>
I am using Windows 7 on a PC<br>
<br>
<small><small><b><big><big>Question 1</big></big></b></small></small>)
when I get an error message, what is the easiest way
for me to find the exact line number?<br>
I use ms Word as an editor.<br>
<br>
<b>Question 2</b>) the code I am looking at was run
on Unix, on a server. <br>
Part of the code talks about server call-backs etc.<br>
It is unclear how I translate that to a windows PC<br>

Many thanks<br>
