Re: Jump to a given line
I've just found that it is possible to use command line options for this:

EmEditor /l 1234 D:\file.txt


It is not a macro, but it is much more powerful for my case. I am using it with Python script that counts lines, selects random line and starts a program.


One difference is that SetActivePoint macro sets pointer to the bottom edge of a screen. And /l sets it to the middle.

Re: Jump to a given line
Thank you, it is exactly what I am looking for.


Actually, I need to jump to a random line. Here is a code for it:
var lines_total = document.GetLines();
var line_random = Math.floor((Math.random()*lines_total)+1);

document.selection.SetActivePoint(eePosLogical, 1, line_random);

Re: Jump to a given line
Hello,

The following macro will move the cursor to the n-th line.

document.selection.SetActivePoint(eePosLogical, 1, n);


Thanks!

Re: Jump to a given line
The closest way is:

clipboardData.setData("Text", line_number); 
editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4139);


Then you have to press "ctrl+v" and "enter".

Jump to a given line
Is it possible to jump to a given line in macros/scripts?

I only found 
editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4139);

But where do I write line's number?



Or is it possible to open file and jump to a given line with arguments?
