Ahh, just forgot:

while GetKey() is waiting,
the keypress should not be
processed to the document
but only to the macro.

That means:
if i have a selection
this should not get dropped
by the key press.
OTOH, i could catch the selection
from the macro too before waiting for the key!?!?

[Stefan]

.

I had that again.

I wanted to add a macro to an menu
but could that only with macros listed in My Macros.

Why?

Why can i not just select a macro from an folder?

.

[Stefan]

If you code yourself,
maybe this snippet will point you to the right direction:

Snippet plugin > General > Clipboard History

.

[Stefan]

.

You can extend EmEditor yourself.
Just save a macro, add to My Macros, add an shortcut.
(or use Snippet plugin)

A macro could look like:

SwapWithLineAbove.jsee

	document.selection.SelectLine(); //select line with cursor

	cLine = document.selection.text; //store line to var

	if(cLine.indexOf("n") < 0){cLine = cLine + "rn";}

	document.selection.Delete();     //delete line

	document.selection.LineUp();     //move cursor up one line

	document.write(cLine);           //paste line from var

	

or

MoveLineUp_(on-and-on).jsee
(assign to Shift+Alt+U)

	document.selection.SelectLine(); //select line with cursor

	cLine = document.selection.text; //store line to var

	if(cLine.indexOf("n") < 0){cLine = cLine + "rn";}

	document.selection.Delete();     //delete line

	document.selection.LineUp();     //move cursor up on line

	document.write(cLine);           //paste line from var

	document.selection.LineUp();     //move cursor up one line

	

and

MoveLineDown_(on-and-on).jsee
(assign to Shift+Alt+D)

	document.selection.SelectLine(); //select line with cursor

	cLine = document.selection.text; //store line to var

	if(cLine.indexOf("n") < 0){cLine = cLine + "rn";}

	document.selection.Delete();     //delete line

	document.selection.LineDown();   //move cursor down one line

	document.write(cLine);           //paste line from var

	document.selection.LineUp();     //move cursor up one line

	

– – –

Swap Lines UpSideDown.jsee

FROM:
1 – x
2 – Y
3 – Z
TO:
3 – Z
2 – Y
1 – x

	Sel    = document.selection.text;

	SelArr = Sel.split("rn"); SelArr.reverse();

	for(i=0,L=SelArr.length; i<L; i++){

	  document.selection.text = SelArr[i];

	  if(i<L-1){document.selection.text ="rn";}

	}

Fine you got it.

Another tip is to google for an answer:

google: [ emeditor Large File Controller ]

to find e.g.
http://www.emeditor.com/modules/feature1/rewrite/tc_13.html
http://www.emeditor.com/modules/tutorials4/index.php?id=2

What have you done?
Step by step.

– – –

Also you may want to change my code

str = document.GetLine( yLine );

to

str = document.GetLine( yLine ).toLowerCase();

because indexOf is case sensitive.

.

[Stefan]

.

* open EmEditor
*
* open a new document
* paste the script in
* save as e.g. Untitled.txt
* click at “Macros > Select This”
*
* open your source document
* put your cursor in ONE line
* execute “Macro > Run Untitled.txt”
* you should be prompted with “delete/all ok/nothing found” depending on the line content
*
* check for each line if the script works for you
* if yes, the next step is to build a loop over all lines
and at last exchange the “delete” message with an find&delete code

Here the proof of concept code again
but with comments:

	//settings:

	openTag    = "<span";

	closingTag = "</span";

	

	//get current line number:

	yLine = document.selection.GetActivePointY( eePosLogical );

	

	//get line content:

	str   = document.GetLine( yLine );

	

	//search for occurrences in this line:

	openTagPos    = str.indexOf(openTag);

	closingTagPos = str.indexOf(closingTag);

	

	//if an closing tag is found:

	if(closingTagPos > -1){

		//if no opening tag is found at all 

		//OR 

		//if closing tag is found before the first opening tag

		if(openTagPos == -1 || (closingTagPos < openTagPos)){

			//<here find first closing tag and remove it>

			alert(closingTag + " to delete found");

		}else{

			//nothing to do in this line. This code can be removed.

			alert("lines is ok");

		}

	}else{

		//nothing to do in this line. This code can be removed.

		alert("not found " + closingTag);

	}

Hi and welcome.

1.)
Do “<span" and "” always be on the same line?

Or could it be that they are on different lines like

1.

CCNA Portable Command Guide

Your example doesn’t provide this detail.

– – –

2.)
Is it always the first occurrence of “” in a line that can be remove?

Then the rule would be easier:
if there is found a closing tag without an opening tag before, then it can be removed.

Proof Of Concept:

	openTag    = "<span";

	closingTag = "</span";

	

	yLine = document.selection.GetActivePointY( eePosLogical );

	str   = document.GetLine( yLine );

	openTagPos    = str.indexOf(openTag);

	closingTagPos = str.indexOf(closingTag);

	

	if(closingTagPos > -1){

		if(openTagPos == -1 || (closingTagPos < openTagPos)){

			alert("delete");

		}else{

			alert("all ok");

		}

	}else{

		alert("not found " + closingTag);

	}

I am not against updates ;-)

Keep am coming :-D

[Stefan]

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.

Disregard. Figured it out…

Your post would have made much more sense
if you would have provided an how-it-works :-x

Like:

To add decimal numbers with leading zeros
with the “Edit > Advanced > Numbering… Alt+N” tool,
just add the format you want
into the ‘First Line:’ box of the ‘Insert Numbering’ dialog.

Default is ‘1’, but you can also enter something like ‘001’ or so.

Do you know you can use the snippet plugin
to insert snippets OR execute an macro?

If i use “Separated Values”
the columns are nicely aligned
at the given delimiter.

But how can i insert spaces to
have them separated even if i
leave “Separated Values” mode?

Please consider to add “Restore last Selection”.

I think that would be really useful.

Hi Yutaka.

I still think there should be an easy way to just
collapse whole paragraphs with the Outline plugin.
(Just having blank lines as delimiter)

I want to suggest to add “Paragraph”
to the “Type” drop-down list.

_

EDIT

in the meantime I have found a work around:

Search and replace begin of paragraph with a dot.
Find: ^$rn(.)
Repl: nn.1

Then use default Outline plugin Custom method for Text
.
..
…
….
…..

Of course we can use another char then dot.

Hi Yutaka.

If I import an big *.eesnip file, then all
sub-folders are expanded automatically at import,
and i have to collapse all folders by hand each
to get an better overview.

I can use Arrow-left/Arrow-right a few times
but that takes time, especially with sub-sub folders.

So i missed context menu item like
* ViewCollapse all sub-folder

Maybe that is an improvement idea for you?

Merge two list together side-by-side RANDOM-ized

Hi folks, I was asked how to
random the two list together side-by-side.

Here is my answer:

	//EmEditor Script (JavaScript)

	// Merge two list together side-by-side RANDOM-ized 

	// shuffle intermix stochastic stochastically

	// (see examples) Writes result to new document.

	

	//=======================================================

	//============ U S E R S E T T I N G S ==================

	

	// Separate your two input list by at least 5 #'s

	// Example input:

	//  JAMES

	//  JOHN   <<< Left side in output

	//  WILLIAM

	//  RICHARD

	//  CHARLES

	//  ##########  <<< Five or more #'s, but not less!

	//  MARY

	//  PATRICIA

	//  LINDA  <<< Right side in output

	//  BARBARA

	//  ELIZABETH

	Separator = "#####";

	

	

	

	// Delimiter to be used for separating 

	// consecutive values on a single line.

	// Join both input lists side-by-side, 

	// separated by that sign in the output

	// Example output:

	//  WILLIAM + ELIZABETH

	//  CHARLES + PATRICIA

	//  RICHARD + BARBARA

	//  JAMES + MARY

	//  JOHN + LINDA

	//  or

	//  JOHN + BARBARA

	//  JAMES + PATRICIA

	//  RICHARD + ELIZABETH

	//  CHARLES + LINDA

	//  WILLIAM + MARY

	//  or

	//  WILLIAM + PATRICIA

	//  JAMES + BARBARA

	//  RICHARD + ELIZABETH

	//  CHARLES + LINDA

	//  JOHN + MARY

	//  or...

	//

	Delimeter = " + ";

	

	

	

	//===========================================================

	//===========================================================

	//============ T H E   S C R I P T ==========================

	

	document.selection.SelectAll();

	sel = document.selection.Text; //alert(sel);

	Lines = sel.split("rn");     //Using Windows Line Enders here

	SeparatorFound = false;

	arrONE = new Array();

	arrTWO = new Array();

	arrOUT = new Array();

	

	for(L = 0, Ls = Lines.length; L < Ls; L++){

		if (Lines[L].indexOf(Separator) != -1){

			SeparatorFound = true; continue; //SKIP

		}

		if (SeparatorFound==false){

			arrONE[L] = Lines[L]; 

		}else{

			arrTWO[L] = Lines[L];

		}

	}

	

	//Randomize the order of the array:

	arrONE.sort( function() {return 0.5 - Math.random()} );

	arrTWO.sort( function() {return 0.5 - Math.random()} );

	//Join the arrays side-by-side:

	for(idx=0,Len=arrONE.length; idx<Len; idx++){

		arrOUT[idx] = arrONE[idx] + Delimeter + arrTWO[idx];

	}

	//============ O U T P U T =================================

	OUT = arrOUT.join("rn");

	//alert(OUT);

	

	//Works with EmEditor:

	editor.NewFile();

	document.write(OUT);

	

	//The End

	//===========================================================

An “repeat the last action/command” command
is very useful often.

– – –

The shortcut F4 is already taken
but we can assign an key at our own.

On the other hand it is nifty
if such basic features have an shortcut by default
so all would know what we talked about.

As far as i see, Ctrl+R is free.

“”unfortunately, XYplorer doesn’t show EmEditor’s entry
in its context menu, unlike Windows Explorer (64-bit).””

Do you really need an context menu?

With XYplorer you have several possibilities
to call EmEditor with one or all selected files:

* from an button
* from the catalog on the left
* from User Menu
Open selected item(s) with:..EmEditorEmEditor.exe

* via an shortcut
e.g.: Shift+E

* via Portable File Association by double clicking an file directly
* via Portable File Association by opening an context menu first
+|”Open with &EmEditor ” *>”..EmEditorEmEditor.exe”
or
+|”Open with &EmEditor ” txt;log;cpp;h>”..EmEditorEmEditor.exe”

.

[Stefan]

Isn’t that normal?

Just google a bit:

JavaScript and VBScript doesn’t supported Lookbehind at all.
Lookahead is fully supported.

You can use Python or Perl if you want to use Lookbehind.

2.) GoTo and select to line X

Purpose:
select the lines from start line to line number X.
Where X is a line number you entered to go to.
Tip; Line X can be below or above current line.

2a) EmEditor internal commands:

To select an block:
* set your cursor on the start of the line you want
* press F8 to set “begin of block marker”
* press Ctrl+G and enter the line number to go to
(Tip: press ESC to leave selection mode)

To select whole lines:
* same as above but press Ctrl+F8

To select an rectangular/vertical block:
* set your cursor on the line and column you want
* press Ctrl+Shift+F8 to set “begin of block marker”
* press Ctrl+G and enter the line and column number to go to
(Tip: press ESC to leave selection mode)

Search the help for “F8”:

EmEditor Help – How to – Edit
To Select a Portion of a Document

Click at the beginning of the selection,
move the mouse to the end of the selection while holding
the left mouse button down, and then release the mouse button.

Tips
Alternatively, press arrow keys while pressing the SHIFT key.
Alternatively, press the F8 key, and then press arrow keys.
To select lines, click on the left edge of the window,
or press CTRL + F8.
To select vertically (in a rectangular block), use the
mouse to select while pressing the ALT key,
or press SHIFT+ CTRL + F8.

2b) If you want to use an script for that,
the following code could be an start:

To select an block:
* set your cursor on the line you want
* execute this script and enter the line number to go to

o = document.selection;

	yPos = o.GetActivePointY(eePosLogical);

	TargetLine = prompt("Select to line:","");

	o.LineDown(true, (TargetLine - yPos));

To select whole lines:
– start at begin of line
– at the end hold Shift-key and press End-key
Or add this to the end of the script:
document.selection.EndOfLine(true, eeLineLogical);

To select an rectangular/vertical block:
– i will post next…
