Best to learn is to do some lessons.
So i will show my steps creating an macro for others.
I am not saying that this is the best way to do it, it is just an start.
If you have an better way to do it, or other suggestions, just reply
Purpose:
Save the current file with an timestamp as part of the name
to have the current version of your code saved in between.
For example open "LIZENZ.txt" and execute this macro
to get "LIZENZ_2011,10,01-21,12.txt" too in same folder.
But "LIZENZ.txt" will still be the current open file!
Handling:
Save this an EmEditor macro as *.jsee (JavaScript)
or add it as an macro snippet into the snippet plugin
and add an shortcut just as Ctrl+.
Code:
//// Purpose: save current file with an timestamp in name
//// That way i can save versions of the current file at easy.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///////////////////// Script:
////Pause update of the view till script is finished:
Redraw = false;
////Put original full file name incl. path into var "strOrig":
strOrig = document.FullName;
////Store the path separately :
strPath = document.Path; //But as i see we don't need this info.
////Calculate Base name and Extension and an timestamp as separate values:
strBase = fBaseName(document.Name);
strExte = fNameExte(document.Name);
strDate = fCurrDateTime();
////Compose the new name incl. timestamp:
//strNewName = strPath + "\\" + strBase + "_" + strDate + "." + strExte;
//strNewName = strBase + "_(Version-" + strDate + ")." + strExte;
strNewName = strBase + "_" + strDate + "." + strExte;
////Save the file with this new name:
document.Save(strNewName);
////Open the file with the last name again:
editor.OpenFile( strOrig );
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///////////////////// Functions:
function fBaseName(str)
{
if(str.lastIndexOf(".") != -1)
base = str.substring(0, str.lastIndexOf("."));
return base;
}
function fNameExte(str)
{
if(str.lastIndexOf(".") != -1)
exten = str.substring(str.lastIndexOf(".")+1);
return exten;
}
function fCurrDateTime()
{
var currentDate = new Date();
var day = currentDate.getDate();
if (day < 10) day = "0" + day;
var month = currentDate.getMonth() +1;
if (month < 10) month = "0" + month;
var year = currentDate.getFullYear();
vDate = year + "," + month + "," + day;
var currentTime = new Date();
var hours = currentTime.getHours();
var minutes = currentTime.getMinutes();
if (minutes < 10) minutes = "0" + minutes;
vTime = hours + "," + minutes;
return vDate + "-" + vTime;
