Hi Yutaka, i have an problem with replacing text
in an column/block selection from an macro.

Tested with 11.0.5 and 11.1.7


My problem:
if i take the block selected text,
and manipulate it with an macro,
the macro works correct
but the text replacement in the document
replaces all selected lines
with the replacement of the first line only.


Example:

Having an text like


and an code like




Test 1 - works fine:
- Select the whole text with line selection mode
First Line
Second Line
Third Line
- execute the macro
- the MsgBox shows the wanted result
- the lines are correct manipulated
FXrst Line
Second LXne
ThXrd Line





Test 2 - my problem:
- Select only the first words in column selection mode
First Line
Second Line
Third Line
- execute the macro
- the MsgBox shows the wanted result
- BUT the lines in the selection are all replaced by the content of the first replacement:
FXrst Line
FXrstd Line
FXrst Line

Expected was to get:
FXrst Line
Second Line
ThXrd Line


Question:
what should i modify to let this work as indented?

I can imagine workarounds like
- pos = get the right column pos of the selection
- process each line
- - - tempA = line.substring(0,pos)
- - - tempB = line.slice(pos)
- - - manipulate tempA
- out = tempA+tempB

...but ...is that really as indented ?
