use WordPress theme / plugin editor in my plugin

by

Is there a way to use the wordpress theme / plugin editor inside my plugin to give the user the ability to edit the css file of my plugin ?

Im building a plugin that gives the user an option to add some CSS. First i was going to use just a textarea but then i thought it would be pretty could if i can use the WordPress editor that will open my style.css file.
I could put just a link to http://www.xxxxxx.com/wp-admin/plugin-editor.php but it would be great if i can integrate it into my plugin.

Regards

To start with you could use the following code. For security you could also add some nonce check and even use the settings api. Here plugin-test is your plugin folder name.

$file = stripslashes('plugin-test/style.css');
$plugin_files = get_plugin_files($file);
$file = validate_file_to_edit($file, $plugin_files);
$real_file = WP_PLUGIN_DIR . "https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/" . $file;

if( isset($_POST['plugin_test_settings']['newcontent']) ) {
    $newcontent = stripslashes($_POST['plugin_test_settings']['newcontent']);
    if ( is_writeable($real_file) ) {
            $f = fopen($real_file, 'w+');
            fwrite($f, $newcontent);
            fclose($f);
    }
}

$content = file_get_contents( $real_file );

$content = esc_textarea( $content ); ?>
<table class="form-table">
    <tbody>
        <tr valign="top">
            <td>
                <textarea cols="70" rows="25" name="plugin_test_settings[newcontent]" id="newcontent" tabindex="1"><?php echo $content ?></textarea>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
