I am writing a Macro that enables a simple kind of Wiki link in any text file. Basically if I run my macro, it finds the nearest words in [brackets] and uses that as a file name to open. It works well, but I added the feature to jump to an anchor [filename#anchor] and I cannot figure out how to get it to jump to text in a document. Here is what I have:

newbuffer=jEdit.openFile( view, WikiWord);
if (hasAnchor) {
SearchAndReplace.setSearchString(anchor);
SearchAndReplace.find( view, newbuffer, 0, true, false);
}

It behaves very erratically. It always opens the new file ok. But then it sometimes finds the anchor text, but usually does not. I've tried resetting the cursor to the top of the file to make sure it isn't past the anchor text:

view.getTextArea.setCaretPosition(0);

But that didn't help.
Strangely, if I add this:

Macros.message(view, "finding " + anchor);

before the find, it works! I suspect the popup window causes the interface to 'refresh' in some way bringing the newly opened file to some displayed state, as opposed to some open-but-not-yet-displayed-state... but I'm just guessing here...

Any help?

I'm interested in writing a macro to generate all of my projects in ProjectViewer. Anyone know if this level of interaction with ProjectViewer is possible. I'm also having trouble generating the complete JavaDoc API for ProjectViewer - anyone know if this is available online?

One of my macros saves open buffers, but it pops up an error message anytime it tries to save a file that is in use by another process, and I'd like to avoid that error message, by not trying to say that particular buffer. Is there a way to check a buffer and see if it is being used by another process?

Running a beanshell script I got an error at the following expression, because the method "format" is not found:

java.lang.String.format("%d", 1234)

In a java sourcefile it works fine.
==> What's on with the beanshell?

Hi folks,
There is a rails plugin [1] that convert errors to a url that can be opened by textmate.
Here is the main point:
html = "#{line}"
Is there a way for us to do something like this?

Thanks in advance,
- H


[1] code extracted from the plugin
def add_links_to_backtrace(lines)
lines.collect do |line|
expanded = line.gsub '#{RAILS_ROOT}', RAILS_ROOT
if match = expanded.match(/^(.+):(\d+):in/) or match = expanded.match(/^(.+):(\d+)\s*$/)
file = File.expand_path(match[1])
line_number = match[2]
html = "#{line}"
else
line
end
end
end

I miss some kind of reference for building macros in jEdit (I can't find it anywhere).. like what properties (if there's any) textArea has etc. Is there any reference on web?

My issue:
I have macro:
------------
textArea.collapseFold();
textArea.expandFold(true);
------------

I'd like first line to be exectuted only if focused line start of not folded content. I thought of something like:
------------------
if (!textArea.folded) {
textArea.collapseFold();
}
textArea.expandFold(true);
---------------------

Of course as I'm just guessing what properties or syntax to use.. it don't work.

Any help?

Thank you.

I am looking for a "goToLine"-function, which does not open the "Go To Line"-Dialog. Is such a function available?

In a macro how do I set the following properties?

1. buffer title
2. character encoding

Thanks,

i'm new to jedit. and it looks promising. but also a bit overwhelming..

how do i implement a 'duplicate line/selection' feature? i assume i have to do this with a macro?

i tried using a copy/paste approach to get at least a 'duplicate line' feature working. but it doesnt do what i want.. :/

i found some text macros for moving lines up/down.. maybe they will help me..

anyway.. any help really appreciated!

regards,

dario

I am using this one-line macro to run a program in the system shell:

runInSystemShell(view,"C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\mspaint.exe");

This works fine, but when I have run and closed the program I am left with a jEdit window containing the Console which I have to close manually. Can someone show me how to add a line to my macro to close that Console window? Thanks.

How do you determine the current edit mode within a macro ?

Hi all. I'm trying to write my first macro and am stuck at multiple points. The task at hand is this. I have text in jEdit of the following format

file write `output' _tab ///
`mformat' (`r(sd)') _tab `mformat' ///
(`r(max)') _tab

I would like to be able to select this text, have the "///" and new_line characters stripped, and the remaining text put in the clipboard, so I can paste it into another application. Thus, the line I would be pasting would be

file write `output' _tab `mformat' (`r(sd)') _tab `mformat' (`r(max)') _tab

I have the sense that the code to do this would be pretty simple, but I'm stuck since it's my first attempt. Could anyone provide me some help?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I'm translating jEdit 4.2 in french (see the link in my signature).
someone use my translation on unbutu (Linux) and said that the accentuated caracters didn't display correctly especially the title of the *.bsh files (macros) and the tips. I do think that's a problem of encoding.
How do I resolve this problem ?

Thanks a lot.

Is there any point to doing "return 1;" instead of "return;" at the end of a macro? Or even "return;" at all? I've seen that in a few of them, but haven't been doing it in mine.

Hi all, Currently i'm trying to write macro to convert degrees to decimal form and back and have some problems. Input is string and I need convert that string after splitting into parts to numbers, but macro ends with error complaining that unable to casto sting to integer. parseInt also not working. What's wrong ? Thanks for answers Here is code:

 void convert_coordinates() {
   private int Laipsniai;
   if (textArea.getSelectedText().contains(" ") == true ) {
     format = 1;
     Macros.message(view,"Degrees");
   } else {
     format = 0;
     Macros.message(view,"Decimal degrees");
   };
   
   switch (format) {
     case 1:
       Elements = textArea.getSelectedText().split(" ");
       Laipsniai = Elements[0];
       Macros.message(view,"Laipsniai: "+Laipsniai);
       textArea.setSelectedText(Laipsniai);
     break;
     
     case 0:
       Elements = textArea.getSelectedText().split("[.,]");
       textArea.setSelectedText("1:"+Elements[0]+" 2:"+Elements[1]);
     break;
   };
 }

 if (textArea.getSelectedText() == null) {
   Macros.error(view,"No coordinates selected !!!");
 } else {
   convert_coordinates();
 };

Hi,

I'm writing a macro which, during its execution, creates a few variables. I'd like
to somehow save or retain these variables (and their contents) when the macro ends, so
that they can be referred to the next time I execute the same macro (or indeed some other
macro). Is this possible?

At first, I thought maybe I could declare the variables as 'static', but this doesn't seem
to work. I suppose another way of saving information between calls, might be to put
the data into some of the JEdit clipboard registers. Can someone suggest a good
solution to this problem?

Also, is there some class or method that my macro can call that will tell it what the
last key the user pressed was? And what about the last macro that was executed?

Any help would be most appreciated.


Thanks.

I am trying to make a macro of conversion ANSI for OEM, and OEM you the ANSI.
The macro works in ANSI to OEM, but does not work ANSI to OEM.
Somebody could help me. the macro is basically this.

Sorry my english.


boolean bAnsiToOem = true;

String[] Ansi = {"â","Â","à","À","�","ã","Ã","á","ê","Ê","è","é","É",
"í","�","õ","Õ","ô","Ô","ó","Ó","ü","Ü","ú","Ú","ç","Ç"};

String[] Oem = {"ƒ","¶","…","·","µ","Æ","Ç"," ","ˆ","Ò","Š","‚","?",
"¡","Ö","ä","å","“","â","¢","à","?","š","£","é","‡","€"};


if(Ansi.length != Oem.length) {
Macros.error(view, "Erro na codificação Ansi ou Oem");
return;
}
for( i=0; i < Ansi.length; i++ ) {
SearchAndReplace.setBeanShellReplace(false);
SearchAndReplace.setIgnoreCase(false);
SearchAndReplace.setRegexp(false);
SearchAndReplace.setSearchFileSet(new CurrentBufferSet());
SearchAndReplace.replaceAll(view);
if(bAnsiToOem){
SearchAndReplace.setSearchString( Ansi[i] );
SearchAndReplace.setReplaceString( Oem[i] );
}else{
SearchAndReplace.setSearchString( Oem[i] );
SearchAndReplace.setReplaceString( Ansi[i] );
}
}

Hi folks,
Please forgive my newbiness... I'm sure there's a pretty simple solution to this.
I've simply cut and paste the following statement from http://jedit.org/users-guide/helpful-methods.html to display a confirmation box:

int result = Macros.confirm("Do you really want to learn"
+ " about BeanShell?",JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);

I get the following error:

Typed variable declaration : Error in method invocation: Static method confirm( java.lang.String, int ) not found in class'org.gjt.sp.jedit.Macros' : at Line: 1 :

So, if I understand this correctly, the macro doesnt know what an int is? I take it then I have to include a class somehow...

Any suggestions?

Cheers all,
Tim

Hi all,

I am after a simple macro which would pass the selected text to an external process through stdin and replace the selected text by the stdout output of the external process. Any idea how to do that?

Thanks a lot.

Hi, I'm using beanshell in my jedit development to test my classes. If I compile the class how can I load it into beanshell so that I could instantiate (without an URLClassLoader and that stuff)? The original beanshell let you load a class but the necessary package bsh.classpath is not in jEdit. Thanks!
