Then use the macro or “Word Count” plug-in. I don’t know why you want to add another extra feature to the Find/Replace dialog box just to increase the size of the core program “emeditor.exe”. The macro and plug-ins will not bloat the program, but the Find/Replace dialog box will bloat the program.

However, I search the characters are changed from time to time, if this feature added to the Find / Replace box will be very convenient

I see. Since you are using a macro, there are many built-in functions available within JavaScript and VBScript you can count certain characters.

Sorry, let me show you an example

Let’s say I make a snippet and it looks like this (this is just in theory):

if $con1$ = $con2$ then
$expression$
end if

Now when I run the snippet I’d like $con1$ already highlighted so I could just write over it, and when when I hit the tab key, it would move to $con2$ and highlight it so I could write over it, and when I hit tab again it would move to $expression$ and highlight it so I could type over it.

So my typing would look something like this:
Run the snippet
var1 -> TAB -> 23 -> TAB -> writeline(“It’s 23!”)

and the text editor in the end would have:
if var1 = 23 then
writeline(“It’s 23!”)
end if

does this make any more sense? Sorry, I’m not very good at explaining things some times… :-?

Yes, that makes a perfect sense. Thanks!

I am not sure exactly what the Match Count is, but the new Word Count plug-in included in Version 7.00.5 allows you to define the number of characters or lines matching specified regular expressions.

When you do a “Find in Files” or, use the FindAll.vbee macro, the output in the new tab is formatted with a tag (a link to the file and the line of that file) with a display of the line it found the search parameter on.

I am wondering if its possible to activate (click) this tag in a macro to jump to that line in the original file.

Yes, you can use the Tag Jump command.

I’ll just ask it as a bunch of questions, since I did kind of ramble! I did mean the find all macro you listed, though I did retool it a bit (and rewrote it in .js, that is where the confusion came from).

1) Is it possible to delete a file using EmEditor macros?
2) Or, possible to delete a file using a plugin?
3) Can the macro module activate a “tag” in a document?

Let us say I use the FindAll.vbee macro in the following file using the search string, “if”

If a == b
ElseIf b > 1
Message “Hello world!”
End
End // If
#—-

FindAll would give me:

c:/filename/etc/etc/etc.etc(1): If a == b
c:/filename/etc/etc/etc.etc(2): ElseIf B > 1
c:/filename/etc/etc/etc.etc(5): End // If

Now lets say I edited the text that was displayed after I did the FindAll, on line two to (since “Hello world!” would never message with the current logic):

“c:/filename/etc/etc/etc.etc(1): If a != b”

After running the new macro it would compare your original file to the FindAll output you editted, then replace the lines you edited back into your original file, using the tags as references.

Long post but, is this possible with EmEditor?

Yes, you can use DeleteFile Method of FileSystemObject.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/thx0f315(VS.85).aspx
See also http://www.emeditor.com/help/macro/tutorial/tutorial_copyfile.htm

	if( document.FullName == '' ){

	    alert( "The file is untitled." );

	}

	else {

	    fso = new ActiveXObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" );

	    fso.DeleteFile( document.FullName );

	}

	

I don’t know what you mean by “activate a tag”. If you want to select a certain document (tab), then you can do using Documents colleciton and Document.Activate method.

The FindAll output you edit will not be reflected automatically.

This is actually part of a larger “project” to addon on to the FindAll.jsee in the macro section (mighty nice little macro). What I’m trying to do is after doing a FindAll allowing editing of the new file instance.

So if you were to do a find all on “if” for example, yo would see every line with an “if” in it. Then the user could edit that new tabbed file and run another macro to drop the changes they made back in. So if you only edited one line, say line 200, it would compare, then dump that new line in since it was a change.

The only way I see to do this in EmEditor (I only started working with EmEditor macros this week*) is to save the file generated by the FindAll macro, then compare that file, using the tags as references) to the original file. But I would want to delete that saved file after so as not to clutter the current directory.

Another possibility would be to just save to a dump “log” folder and use that as your point of reference, and then not worry about deleting.

So is this possible at all? Could I create a macro to run on the FindAll (after its saved since I’m pretty sure you couldn’t run on the non saved file since its not saved, or could you?).

*EmEditor is a great tool, thank you for it!

I am not exactly sure what you would like to do, but does FindAll.jsee mean FindAll.vbee at http://www.emeditor.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=8&lid=172 ?

You might also want to try “Replace in Files” feature of EmEditor (on the Search menu). You can also try “Search” plug-in of EmEditor.

I assume you are talking about HTMLBar plug-in. You are right, the Table button is not customizable. Most other buttons are customizable from the HTMLBar plug-in Properties > Customize Buttons button. If you know how many rows and columns of table you usually create, you can select “Inser Tags” when you customize the button and insert those tags you need. Or you might want to try a macro. I might consider the ability to change table details in the plug-in in the future.

I guess there must be 3 parts per macro:
– path and filename of macro
– keyboard shortcut
– as you said the length of the entry.
– plus maybe a separator between different entries?

It may be difficult but I know I can do it!

You cannot change the macro path from the Registry. The Registry format also includes the length of each menu or command path, so it is not easy to change the Registry value. You should use the “Tools” > “Customize Menus” to change each menu item.

I’ve been a user of EmEditor for a while now and there’s always been one thing that niggles me – the way word wrap is implemented with indented text.

I really like to keep all my notes as .txt files, which means a certain amount of indenting takes place so that I can distingush sections. The problem is that EmEditor doesn’t handle word wrap particularly well on these indented section and, instead of the second sentence beginning below the first line (as in Word), it starts at the beginning of the next line:

e.g.

In Emeditor:
_______Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text

Better:
____Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
____Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text

(The underscores are meant to be a tab / blank space)

I realise that EmEditor is a text editor, rather than a word processor, but other editors (e.g. TextPad) handle word wrapping much more elegantly.

Any chance of this in EmEditor?

Thanks,

David

I believe this can be set by checking the “Wrap Indent” checkbox in the Tab/Indent dialog box (Configuration Properties > General tab > Tab/Indent button).

Hi,

This one is both a cry for help as well as a feature request:

I created some kind of IDE out of EmEditor for our company.
Therefor I created a lot of macros.
Unfortunately because of the way EmEditor stores its configuration it is very difficult to deploy and update the macros on all machines:

– First I install EmEditor
– Then I import a .reg file containing the config that everybody should use
– Then the problems begins: Our macros are stored in C:Documents and Settings[username]Application DataMy Macros.
So you see: Every user has another folder where the macros are saved. So I wrote a tool to change the paths in “HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareEmSoftEmEditor v3Macros”.
Then I saw that the keyboard shortcuts are saved in a binary field in HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareEmSoftEmEditor v3Config[Config Name]PIKM and that this binary field contains the absolute path in binary form —> arghhh!!!

Is there an easier way to do this? (User PCs don’t have admin rights for working, so I prefer saving macros in profile folders because they are updated quite often)
And please consider an easier way to store the configuration in upcoming versions.

Thanks for any help,
Oliver

One option is use INI file settings, which use relative path, but if My Macro folder is under user profile (sucn as UsersJohnDocuments…), you will still have to fix each relative path.

Another option is to use a macro, but this too can take some time. Just in case you want to try this option, I wrote the sample macro to start with:

	

	bAllConfigs = confirm( "Do you want to set keyboard in ALL configurations? Click Cancel if you want to set keyboard only in the current configuration." );

	

	if( bAllConfigs ){

		cfgs = new Enumerator( editor.Configs );

		for( ; !cfgs.atEnd(); cfgs.moveNext() ){

		    cfg = cfgs.item();

		    SetKeys( cfg );

		}

	}

	else {

		cfg = document.Config;

		SetKeys( cfg );

	}

	alert( "Keyboard set successfully!" );

	

	function SetKeys( cfg )

	{

		lst = cfg.Keyboard.List;

		// nKey is a virtual key for the shortcut.

		// nFlags is a combination of eeVirtualKey, eeShift, eeCtrl, and eeAlt.  See the Macro Reference.

		// nCmd is the command ID for the macro (9216 through 9216 + 1023).  You can use editor.QueryStringByID method to find the exact command ID.

		lst.Add( nKey, nFlags, nCmd );

		cfg.Save();

	}

	

For the next major version, I will try to find a way to transfer the settings, possibly by adding something like \%MYMACRO_PATH\% environment, which can be included in the macro path, so the shortcut settings will be easily transferred to another PC.

I’ve assigned ESC to “Close All” which does what I want. Great!

Nevertheless I would have expected a command “Exit All” or “Exit”, just like it appears on the file menu (I hope I haven’t overlooked it – I *did* double check). It’s probably not so important – but is there a difference between “Close All” and “Exit All”?

“Close All” and “Exit All” are exactly the same.

Any ideas?

I would be happy to see if you buy new licenses. I am not sure why you cannot change icons in newer versions, but maybe because new executable files are digitally signed. You can still buy Version 4 licenses. In fact, no version designation is necessary when you buy licenses. Just make sure to buy whether you want to buy Professional or Standard. You can use the same registration keys for all versions (4, 5, 6, and 7) as long as the edition (Pro or Standard) is the same (except for cracked or illegal keys). However, I would really recommend you to use the latest version of EmEditor even if you don’t like the icons. For shortcut icons, I believe you can change icons from the Shortcut Properties without using resource editors.

Right-click on tabs, select Customize Tabs from the context menu, click Mouse Options, and select “Right Side of Window” in the Close Button drop-down list. I know this is hard to find, and I might move this to another place in the future.
