Copy or Cut Lines Containing

Submitted by tflight on Sunday, 1 August, 2004 - 17:52

Hello, I'm new to jEdit coming from BBEdit. BBEdit had functions called "Copy Lines Containing..." and "Cut Lines Containing...". I can't find that jEdit has a similar function, does it exist?

For those that are not familiar with those functions here is an example. Take the following text file:

bananas, apples, oranges, grapes
apples, bananas, grapes
oranges, grapes
bananas, oranges, apples, grapes, kiwi

If you choose the "Copy Lines Containing..." function and specify 'bananas' as your query your clipboard will be set with the following

bananas, apples, oranges, grapes
apples, bananas, grapes
bananas, oranges, apples, grapes, kiwi

try these macros: Copy

try these macros:
Copy_Lines_Containing.bsh:

copyLinesContaining(){
	String text = Macros.input(view,"Copy lines containing:");
	if(text == null || "".equals(text))
		return;
	int count = 0;
	StringBuffer buff = new StringBuffer();
	for(int i = 0; i < buffer.getLineCount(); i++){
		String line = buffer.getLineText(i);
		if(line.indexOf(text) > -1){
			buff.append(line).append('\n');
			count++;
		}
	}
	Registers.setRegister('$',buff.toString());
	HistoryModel.getModel("clipboard").addItem(buff.toString());
	view.getStatus().setMessageAndClear("" + count + " lines copied");
}

copyLinesContaining();

Cut_Lines_Containing.bsh:

cutLinesContaining(){
	String text = Macros.input(view,"Cut lines containing:");
	if(text == null || "".equals(text))
		return;
	int count = 0;
	int start = 0;
	int end = 0;
	StringBuffer buff = new StringBuffer();
	try{
		buffer.beginCompoundEdit();
		for(int i = buffer.getLineCount() - 1 ; i >= 0; i--){
			String line = buffer.getLineText(i);
			if(line.indexOf(text) > -1){
				buff.append(line).append('\n');
				int start = buffer.getLineStartOffset(i);
				int end = buffer.getLineEndOffset(i);
				buffer.remove(start,end-start);
				count++;
			}
		}
	}
	finally{
		if(count > 0)
			buffer.endCompoundEdit();
	}
	Registers.setRegister('$',buff.toString());
	HistoryModel.getModel("clipboard").addItem(buff.toString());
	view.getStatus().setMessageAndClear("" + count + " lines cut");
}

if(buffer.isReadOnly())
	Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
else
	cutLinesContaining();

You can also use the TextFilter plugin to write scripts to manipulate buffers -- I believe the plugin is based on a BBEdit feature.

Thanks!

Thanks a bunch. That is GREAT!!!!! The copy lines containing macro works spectacular. The cut lines containing macro resulted in the following error:

Oops, that and reversing the cut lines should be fixed:

cutLinesContaining(){
	String text = Macros.input(view,"Cut lines containing:");
	if(text == null || "".equals(text))
		return;
	int count = 0;
	int start = 0;
	int end = 0;
	StringBuffer buff = new StringBuffer();
	try{
		buffer.beginCompoundEdit();
		for(int i = buffer.getLineCount() - 1 ; i >= 0; i--){
			String line = buffer.getLineText(i);
			if(line.indexOf(text) > -1){
				buff.insert(0,'\n').insert(0,line);
				int start = buffer.getLineStartOffset(i);
				int end = buffer.getLineEndOffset(i);
				buffer.remove(start,Math.min(end,buffer.getLength())-start);
				count++;
			}
		}
	}
	finally{
		buffer.endCompoundEdit();
	}
	Registers.setRegister('$',buff.toString());
	HistoryModel.getModel("clipboard").addItem(buff.toString());
	view.getStatus().setMessageAndClear("" + count + " lines cut");
}

if(buffer.isReadOnly())
	Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
else
	cutLinesContaining();

Now that works
