How can I run a macro over all files in a specific directory ?

Submitted by xcablex on Tuesday, 25 October, 2011 - 10:04

Hi,

I am totaly new in the usage of jEdit. I just finished a small macro for a "find&replace" purpose in about a hundred txt files.

Is there a way to tell jEdit to run the macro on all files in a specific directory ?

Hi,
I just recorded a macro while doing a directory search manually, which should do the job.:

SearchAndReplace.setSearchString("xxxxxxxxxxx");
SearchAndReplace.setAutoWrapAround(false);
SearchAndReplace.setReverseSearch(false);
SearchAndReplace.setIgnoreCase(true);
SearchAndReplace.setRegexp(false);
SearchAndReplace.setSearchFileSet(new DirectoryListSet("X:\\Your\\Path\\here\\","*.txt",true));
SearchAndReplace.hyperSearch(view,false);

Hey, after running the macro a window named HyperSearch Results opens, saying -No results found for "[]+"- this is my actual macro:

SearchAndReplace.setSearchString("xxxxxxxxxxx"); SearchAndReplace.setAutoWrapAround(false); SearchAndReplace.setReverseSearch(false); SearchAndReplace.setIgnoreCase(true); SearchAndReplace.setRegexp(false); SearchAndReplace.setSearchFileSet(new DirectoryListSet("/home/xcablex/Desktop/test/","*.txt",true)); SearchAndReplace.hyperSearch(view,false); SearchAndReplace.setSearchString("- "); SearchAndReplace.setReplaceString("-"); SearchAndReplace.setBeanShellReplace(false); SearchAndReplace.setIgnoreCase(false); SearchAndReplace.setRegexp(true); SearchAndReplace.setSearchFileSet(new CurrentBufferSet()); SearchAndReplace.replaceAll(view); SearchAndReplace.setSearchString(" F([^e])"); SearchAndReplace.setReplaceString("F$1"); SearchAndReplace.setBeanShellReplace(false); SearchAndReplace.setIgnoreCase(false); SearchAndReplace.setRegexp(true); SearchAndReplace.setSearchFileSet(new CurrentBufferSet()); SearchAndReplace.replaceAll(view); SearchAndReplace.setSearchString("(\\w) \\["); SearchAndReplace.setReplaceString("$1["); SearchAndReplace.setBeanShellReplace(false); SearchAndReplace.setIgnoreCase(false); SearchAndReplace.setRegexp(true); SearchAndReplace.setSearchFileSet(new CurrentBufferSet()); SearchAndReplace.replaceAll(view); SearchAndReplace.setSearchString("^[ ]+"); SearchAndReplace.setReplaceString(""); SearchAndReplace.setBeanShellReplace(false); SearchAndReplace.setIgnoreCase(false); SearchAndReplace.setRegexp(true); SearchAndReplace.setSearchFileSet(new CurrentBufferSet()); SearchAndReplace.replaceAll(view); SearchAndReplace.setSearchString("[ ]+"); SearchAndReplace.setReplaceString(";"); SearchAndReplace.setBeanShellReplace(false); SearchAndReplace.setIgnoreCase(false); SearchAndReplace.setRegexp(true); SearchAndReplace.setSearchFileSet(new CurrentBufferSet()); SearchAndReplace.replaceAll(view); Where can I find references what I am exactly doing in this macro ?

I start getting it

Didn't saw the "Directory" and "Subdirectory" Options in the Search & Replace Dialoge.
