How to make replaced text automatically selected Hello, Yukata. If I use
to replace current selected text to something, how can I make resulting text still selected(displayed in inverted color). If the resulting text is selected, I can count its text length, save it to a variable for further processing etc. Please advise. |

Re: How to make replaced text automatically selected Hello chjfth,
There is no easy way to do this, but I wrote this code for you: I am sorry, but this code doesn't support eeReplaceSelOnly flag. I still hope this helps.

Re: How to make replaced text automatically selected Thank you for replying. Hope you can provide an easy way to accomplish that. For example, add a flag to Replace so that replaced text is selected automatically.

Re: How to make replaced text automatically selected Hi gays, this is my very first post at forum, and please don't be angry, because I don't know how to make new post (thread) and where.
Moderator will probably move this at right place. I have this question about recording makro(s): When in Sokoban for Windows 2.3 build 6 I save some game as *.xsb file, I have this situation http://photoserver.ws/images/Bqnt4cee47932c50b.png and I need this one http://photoserver.ws/images/Yaqz4cee479351727.png So, I need to remove all unnecessary caracters from file at first picture, to make file at second, to be able to load that file in Sokoban Puzzle solver v3.7.2 http://codecola.net/ I wish to record Macro which will remove unnecessary tekst from *.xsb files. This is 5 operations: 1) Remove text above the first pair <L>...</L> 2) Remove text bellow the last pair <L>...</L> For this I use Cut from menu 3) Remove all remaining <L> caracters 3) Remove all remaining </L> caracters For this I use Search -> Replace ->Replase All, and than replace <L> and </L> with empty caracter 5) Save that file like *.xsb Is it possable to make one macro for this, or I must use combination of several macros? |

Re: How to make replaced text automatically selected I supose, you write previous macro for me, thank you very much for your time and response.
Shall I copy this in Notepad with *jsee extension, or copy in EmEditor? I don't know how to save and use this macro. I apologize, I never befor haven't used macros. Update: I tryed to make macro in EmEditor with entering row by row from your file, with using enter for each row, and macro recorder activ with *jsee extension by save. Result is something strange, which open several windows aplications at attempt to use it on file like on my first puzzle picture. Probably I maked bad job. |

Re: How to make replaced text automatically selected Hi snovic,
You shouldn't use the macro recorder when you use my macro. Please open a new file, paste the above macro, and save it as "a.jsee". Please select "Select..." on the Macros menu to select this macro (a.jsee). Then open a .xsb file, and click "Run Macro a.jsee" on the Toolbar. I hope this helps.

Re: How to make replaced text automatically selected Something is wrong again
http://photoserver.ws/images/2D2P4cf3a7a32ea21.png probably I make again some mistake. I saved macro like "xsb Generator.jsee", maybe is that wrong? I use text configuration. I must thank you again for your time and patiens, EmEdiror's help is brilliant, unfortynetly for me, with tehnical stuff I don't understand well. Where to find aproved EmEditor macros, which I can download and use? And at video section I can't find what I need, i.e. how to use macro with files from another aplications. |

Re: How to make replaced text automatically selected Hi snovic,
eeFindSaveHistory is a new flag introduced on new version of EmEditor. I recommend you use the latest version of EmEditor, currently v10. If you need to use an old version, please remove "eeFindSaveHistory | " from the macro. Thank you,

Re: How to make replaced text automatically selected Many thanks Mr. Yutaka, now it works, finaly!
I am still interested in whether the activities of the mouse can be saved as macros. For example, open, and select options from the drop-down menu from toolbar, as for example replacing characters in a text file. And specifically, can you make a macro that would delete (selected and) highlighted text. |
