Hi,

My class extends the rcp based Text editor.In the plugin.xml i have set
the extension of the file and editor for which it is to be opened.Sice i
cannot format the text in the editor ,iam trying to use bufferredreader
for which i need to pass the input file.Iam using getEditorInput().getname
to get the file name ,but it is not working.
How can i get the input file which is passed to the editor?

Thanks in advance
kris

What do you mean by "not working"?

Actually getEditorInput is returning null.I wanted to use it as
getEditorInput.getName() which will return the file name.I wanted to pass
this returned file name as input to bufferred reader so that i can format
it,but getEditorinput itself is returning null.

The editor input should not be null.
