    Stefan,

    What utility are you using to create your animated GIF demos?

    Thanks
    JohnQSmith

    My current simple method is just this:

    * screen shots: Alt+Print
    (for including mouse cursor and auto-save: WinSnap’s last freeware version, or IrfanView too)

    * picture modification(paint/text): IrfanView’s Paint-plugin or just msPaint

    * Gif Anymator:
    currently Gif-X 2.5 (free, portable, simple)
    Workflow: New, Import all pics, set delay ms, export as GIF, done!

    In the past i had used:
    – Ulead GIF Animator 2
    – Microsoft GIF Animator
    They are both very old and can be found via google too (tip: encoderX forum)

    Thanks user. Sorry, I missed this reply somehow.

    I just want to share an idea i had for 30 minutes.
    Customizing the menu to add your own menu items.

    * Tools > Customize Menus…
    * choose here e.g. ‘Main Menu’
    * click at the last item: ‘&Help’
    * click at [Insert Below]
    >> (o)Popup, Name: ‘MyMenu’
    >> [OK]
    * click at the last item: ‘MyMenu’
    * click at [Insert Right]
    >> (o)Command
    >> Category: My Macros
    >> Commands: TextApe.jsee
    >> [OK]
    > [OK]

    You should have an new main menu entry ‘MyMenu’ now after ‘Help’:

    You can make the Outline plugin do what you want:
    * open the outline plugin, e.g. via “Tools > Plugins”
    * right click into the plugin panel
    * chose Properties
    * see EmEditor Help – How to – Plug-ins

    and perhaps that for an better understanding:

    Is there a macro way to add/delete a configuration?

    If you mean to “modify” an configuration,
    then yes, search the help or the forum for “cfg.”

    Or take a look at “Snippets-plugin > General > Toggle Line Numbers”

    cfg = document.Config;
    cfg.General.ShowLineNumbers = !cfg.General.ShowLineNumbers;
    cfg.Save();

    Hi shrey, welcome.

    1.) Normal that is done by pressing Ctrl+F3 (Shift+F3 for backwards)

    BTW, It is enough to have the cursor on an word or sign.
    No need to select something.
    This works even for signs like “=” without selecting first.

    2.) Since that is an kind of an search,
    all other occurrences are highlighted too.

    See “Tools > …Config.. > [Display] Search String” for settings.
    And with “Search Colors [ 1]” you can even set to highlight
    more then just the last search but the last two, or three, or…

    3.) To remove that current highlighting from view, press Alt+F3.

    Example:
    Having the cursor somewhere inside of the word “sc|ript“.
    Pressing now the key combination “Ctrl+F3”
    will jump to the next occurrence of that word
    AND search-highlight all occurrences of that word in the whole document.

    Pressing “Shift+F3” jumps backwards to the last occurrence.
    Pressing “Alt+F3” will remove the highlighting from view.


    <script src='xxx/scripts/shCore.js'></script>
    <script src='xxx/scripts/shBrushCpp.js'></script>
    <script src='xxx/scripts/shBrushCSharp.js'></script>

    HTH?

    BTW: to highlight some words on demand, you may want
    to take an look at MARKERS > http://www.emeditor.com/modules/feature1/rewrite/tc_39.html

    I have seen an problem when the paragraph was

    if there was no empty line following.

    So my improved macro detect this and handles accordingly:

    // An paragraph is an block of text delimited

    Hi Bob, welcome.

    BB> if there is a config specifically for apex?

    I think not.
    You can take an look yourself at > Library > Syntax Files.
    But maybe someone will jump in and share his config?

    But please note that you can modify
    an existent config to your needs
    if you know the details of APEX:

    menu “Tools > Select Configuration > Define Configurations…”

    For example
    * select the XML configuration and press [Copy]
    * Rename the copied config by entering “APEX”
    * Press the [Properties] button for fine tuning.

    Once you are satisfied you may want to share them with us?
    See your “eeConfig.ini”

    in reply to: Hi, Can anyone help me on "Sorting" please #10407
    Stefan
    Participant

    You can sort by column in EmEditor
    while you are in “Separated Values” mode.

    1.)
    Therefor you have to delimiter your columns first by either
    * one tab (t) => TSV mode
    * one coma (,) => CSV mode
    * one own delimiter => DSV mode ( e.g. one “:” or “|” or “;” or one space ” ” or…)

    Hint: For your examples
    RegEx Search for three-or-more spaces
    and replace by an coma:
    Find: s{3,}
    Replace: ,
    [X] Use Regular Expressions
    Now you have CSV.

    2.)
    Next switch to delimiter mode via
    menu “Edit > Separated Values/Sort > selecting-your-mode”

    For your case use CSV if you have followed the s&r tip.

    Hint: you must seen some thin vertical lines.

    3.)
    Then click into an column and use an Sort mode.

    Explanation:
    CSV means “Coma Separate Value” and you
    must have an coma between your columns.
    There must be NO coma inside the column itself!

    TSV means “Tabulator Separated Value”
    and the same is valid as said for CSV.

    DSV means “Defined(by user) Separated Value”
    and you have to set the delimiter yourself
    e.g to ‘;’ or ‘|’ or something like that.
    To setup the DSV delimiter go to menu
    “Tools > Properties for X”
    and at the [File] tab
    set the “Delimiter [; ]”

    Since spaces can sophisticate the sorting
    be sure to have no, or at least the same
    amount of spaces around your delimiter.
    (Your example lines have uneven amount
    of spaces between the columns)

    Please note that you can also right click
    the ruler to get the “Separated Value” menu.

    HTH?

    Upps :-o

    F8 works already as needed
    for my suggestions No.1 and No.2 from my initial post above!
    (It’s even kinda “sticky selection” (No. 3), but not really)

    How to:
    – press F8 to set the starting point of an selection
    – now use one (or more) of this movements:

    * Ctrl+G GoTo e.g. Line 34

    * Ctrl+F Find e.g. an word or an sign.
      Or RegEx ^$ to find next blank line (select paragraph)
      Tip: Even F3 works after F8. (e.g. Ctrl+F8 ,then F3)

    * F2 go to next bookmark
    * Shift+F2 go to prev bookmark

    * use Arrow keys

    * or just click somewhere else

    And voila, all between is selected now.

    You can even extent the selection by using
    the same or an another moving command again.

    There are some more F8 commands:

    * Select Character command – F8
    * Select Line command – CTRL+F8
    * Select Vertically command – CTRL+Shift+F8
    (it’s a little bit tricky with bookmarks, but works:
      – press CTRL+Shift+F8
      – select the wanted columns at the first line
      – be sure to remember the end column number at the right(e.g.: 35)
      – go to next boomark (F2)
      – the selection line is at column 1 (the selection is
        at the left side of the start column.)
      – use now Ctrl+G to go to the remembered column ’35’ in this example.
      Or just use the right arrow key.)

    Read more about in the help:
        EmEditor Help – Command Reference – Edit category

    HTH?

    EDIT
    Sure enough, of course now i find this info everywhere:

    f.ex. here:

    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.

    If one would use the help > Search tab: search for “context”

    One would find:

    – Dialog Boxes
    – Customize dialog box (found e.g. at Tools menu)
    – Shortcut tab
    – [More Shortcuts…]
    [X] Add a shortcut to the Context Menu on Explorer check box

    Again seen an use for this.

    IF
    we get “Sticky Selection”
    AND
    an Shortcut to Start an Selection / End the Selection
    THEN
    it would be nice to also get
    an shortcut to duplicate an selection :-D

    imagine this work flow:
    – type something
    – “Start an Selection”
    – type ABC
    – “End the Selection”
    – enable “Sticky Selection”
    – type something
    – duplicate the selection
    (which is ABC here only, but can be an larger string also)

    If you will implement this improvement (Arrow and Home/End keys can move vertical line)
    for the zero-width selection mode…

    …then i have an another suggestion to make the creating
    of that vertical selection line more easy (for handicapped users)

    – make an normal line selection
    – press an hotkey like Ctrl+Shift+L (or use an menu command) to switch to zero-width selection mode

    That way there is an zero-width selection created at pos. 0 on all before selected lines.

    Now we can use the arrow or end -key to move the vertical line.

    Having e.g. “c:tempnumbers.txt” with one number at each line.

    c:tempnumbers.txt:

    123
    222
    345

    Use an code like this to read this file into an array.
    Then use a FOR loop to process each array indices (0 till highest index)
    and inside the FOR loop use the current index to do what you want.



    // 1.) helper code to read an files content

    //Your file with the numbers, each at an own line:
    NumbFile = "c:tempnumbers.txt";

    //============================================
    fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
    oFile = fso.OpenTextFile(NumbFile, 1, false, 0);
    content = oFile.ReadAll();
    oFile.Close();
    fso = null;
    //alert(content);
    //============================================



    // 2.) the needed code itself
    //For Each Line In Lines Do:

    LinesArray = content.split("n");
    for (LineNumb = 0; LineNumb < LinesArray.length; LineNumb++){

    //do here what you want...
    bAnswer = confirm( LinesArray[LineNumb] );
    if (bAnswer == false){break;}

    I think that’s commonly called “Code Folding” (or “Text folding”)

    And it is called Outline by EmEditor.

    EmEditor Help – How to – Plug-ins – Use Outline Plug-in

    The Outline plug-in is installed by default with EmEditor Professional.

    There are two major functions in this plug-in:

    1.) Outlining in the custom bar

    A tree view appears when you click the on the Plug-ins bar.
    Or on the Tools menu, point to Plug-ins, and then click Outline.
    In the Outline custom bar, the outline appears as a tree.

    2.) …

    [To customize the plugin] right-click on the Outline button on the Plug-ins bar, select Properties, …

    Find me: “Code Folding” “CodeFolding” “Code-Folding” “Code-Faltung” “Text folding” “Textfolding” “Text-folding”

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Code folding is a feature of some text editors, source code editors and IDEs that allows the user to selectively hide
    and display sections of a currently-edited file as a part of routine edit operations. This allows the user to manage
    large amounts of text while viewing only those subsections of the text that are specifically relevant at any given time.

    If it allowed to match ANY number between ‘918’ and ‘1884’ ?

    Then try:



    for ( Numb = 918; Numb <= 1884; Numb++){
    document.selection.Replace("^" + Numb + ".*$", "", eeFindNext
    | eeFindReplaceRegExp | eeReplaceAll);
    }

    Or the showed numbers only?

    Seen again:

    “Sticky Selection” is also nifty
    if your macro/script do an selection
    and you want to move around in the
    document to see the start or end
    of the selection.

    Therefor alone it would be nice to
    have an command “Sticky Selection”
    as last command in your macro.

    In the meantime i can help me with an macro.

    – find/go to the wanted start position for the selection.
    – set an bookmark (toggle: Ctrl+F2).
    – find/go to the end position of the wanted selection.
    – execute this macro:

    o = document.selection;
    EndLine = o.GetActivePointY( eePosLogical );
    document.selection.PreviousBookmark();
    o.SetActivePoint( eePosLogical, 1, EndLine, true );

    The same but wiith explanations:



    ////Returns the line number of the cursor position:
    yPosEndLine = document.selection.GetActivePointY( eePosLogical );


    ////Goes to the previous bookmark in this document:
    document.selection.PreviousBookmark();


    ////Sets the cursor position:
    ////bExtend: Optional. Determines whether to extend the current selection.
    ////If bExtend is true, then the active end of the selection moves to
    ////the location while the anchor end remains where it is.
    ////Otherwise, both ends are moved to the specified location.
    bExtend = true;
    xPos = 1;
    document.selection.SetActivePoint( eePosLogical, xPos, yPosEndLine, bExtend );

    The same (and more) as pop-up menu:

    For example you can just press “Ctrl+Alt+M” + a
    to “Remove empty lines (incl. whitespace) – in Selection”

    As explained here
    http://www.emeditor.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=1879&forum=19

    you can create your own menu in EmEditor, here e.g. an pop-up menu.

    To create your own pop-up menu follow this steps:
    1. Copy the below code into EmEditor and Save as e.g. myMenu.jsee
    2. Execute menu “Macros > Select This” to add this macro to My Macros
    3. Assign an keyboard shortcut to launch this pop-up menu
    // Tools > Properties for all configurations > [Keyboard]
    // Category: My Macros
    // Commands: myMenu.jsee
    // Press new shortcut key: e.g. Ctrl+Alt+M
    // [Assign]
    // [OK]

    Now do:
    – open an test file
    – make an selection or press Ctrl+A
    – e.g. press “Ctrl+Alt+M a” to “Remove empty lines (incl. whitespace) – in Selection”

    Here is the macro code:

    great thanks!

    how do I count the instances of a match and store the amount in a variable?

    Do the RegEx s&r with an macro.

    For example i have found that this
    JavaScript macro could be an base for your issue:



    //select your text, then execute the macro
    if (document.selection.IsEmpty){alert('Nothing selected?'); quit();}
    SelText = document.selection.text;
    alert(SelText); // <== only for testing


    //Settings:
    MatchREx = "(.+?t).+t(NOT SENT|SENT)"; //Match/Find this
    ReplWith = "$1$2"; //Replace with that
    REModify = "gi"; //(G)lobal, (i)gnor case, (M)ultiline


    //How many matches?
    Matches = SelText.match(RegExp(MatchREx,REModify)).length;

    //Do the RegEx search&replace itself:
    ReplacedStr = SelText.replace(RegExp(MatchREx,REModify),ReplWith);


    //The output:
    alert(Matches + ' matches found'); // <== only for testing
    alert(ReplacedStr); // <== only for testing

    //Overwrite the selected text:
    //document.selection.text = ReplacedStr;

    Hi Michael, welcome.

    Maybe you should post one or two example lines
    and your “before” and “after” solutions.

    From interest is too which version of EmEditor you use.
    Perhaps even the new betas?

    Try (with an copy of your file!)
    this RegEx search & replace:

    FIND: (.+?t).+t(NOT SENT|SENT)
    REPL: $1$2
    [X] Use Regular Expressions

    Explanation:
    (.+?t) = match and store all non-greedy till the first TAB into group $1
    .+ = match all, but only till:
    t(NOT SENT|SENT) = an TAB followed by “not sent” OR “sent”, which ever is stored in $2

    Thanks webern, but that doesn’t explains why it works in one version and not in the other.

    Anyway, i have now understood that i doesn’t need the part
    o.SetActivePoint(eePosLogical, 1, yPosEnd, true);

    and also not the part
    yPosEnd = o.GetActivePointY(eePosLogical);

    New version:


    // Shorten the object string, just for fewer typing:
    o = document.selection;

    // - - -

    // Find something backwards/up, here empty line:
    o.Find("^s*$",eeFindPrevious | eeFindReplaceRegExp);

    // Remember the current line number:
    yPosBegin = o.GetActivePointY(eePosLogical) +1;

    // - - -

    // Find again something downwards
    // (here: find an blank line, non-greedy)
    // AND move the cursor that way to the found position :
    o.Find("^s*$",eeFindNext | eeFindReplaceRegExp);

    // Do an selection.
    // Set the start of the selection to the remembered line.
    // The end of the selection will be the current line:
    o.SetAnchorPoint(eePosLogical, 1, yPosBegin);

    Similar i use now this to just select down
    to the next blank line:



    o = document.selection;

    //Remember the current line number:
    yPos = o.GetActivePointY( eePosLogical );

    //Move cursor to found position (here: find an blank line):
    o.Find("^$",eeFindNext | eeFindReplaceRegExp);

    //Do an selection.
    //Set the start of the selection to the remembered line:
    o.SetAnchorPoint( eePosLogical, 1, yPos );
