Search and insert feature request I am looking for an option like 'search and replace' but then 'search and insert, whit as sub-choices, insert before / insert after a character or word.
I'll try to explain why: As a professional translator i often have .js files to translate. Some of them are not regularly formatted and i have to format them by hand which is a lot of work. All strings are some times in one enormous long line (files are some 200KB or bigger) where i have to look for comma's, :{, and other tags to insert a LF/CR and then insert one two or tree TABS. See below (the words in single quotes are the to be translated strings): It should be manually formatted as: It would be great to have this work automated in emEditor in the near future. This is what i mean whit a new option like 'search and insert'. Kind regards, Z. ;) |

Re: Search and insert feature request Sorry, i don't understood.
I see nothing which is "insert before / insert after". Rather i see an "break at comma" reformating. I would do it like this: - format the first lines yourself till the "modified:" - next do an search&replace: Find: , Replace with: ,\n [X]Use Escape Sequence - next do the indenting @Yutaka, this search&replace doesn't respect this setting: "Configuration - General tab - Tab/Indent > [X]Enable Auto Indent" I had expected it would be auto -indent with s&r \n too. |

Re: Search and insert feature request Thanks for your hint Stefan.
I find it still to much work though, I need a more precise way without all the hassle. It is not only just replacing a character sequence but I am looking for a smooth and mistake-less way because the jscript code has to stay in tact and that isn't always the case this way. It is however a way to give it a try, better anyway then doing all the string separations by hand. Z. |
