I'd like to write a macro for jEdit which runs an external application, and in doing this I wish to check whether a file at a specified path exists, and conditionally execute macro content on this basis.

Does anyone know how this is achieved?

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have a script that demonstrates how to use a Modal dialog from within a Beanshell macro?

Problem: I am trying to get user input in a beanshell script and set a variable based on that input. The problem is when I set modal=true for the JDialog box, the JDialog no longer disposes after presses of "OK" or "Cancel". The dialog just sits there and won't go away, therefore I cannot capture the result and set the variable.

Hi,

I have what I hope is a simple problem...

I am writing a basic macro to find the next occurrence of the currently selected text. Something along these lines already exists and can be downloaded using the Macro Manager plugin. What's new in my version is that I would like to have the Search & Replace dialog be displayed if no text is currently selected. (That way, I can map it to Ctrl+F and still access the dialog via this shortcut.)

I couldn't find much info on this and what I did find seemed to refer to the "SearchDialog.showSerachDialog" method that doesn't seem to exist any more. I would be most grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

Many thanks,

Andy

Is it possible to run a macro when I shut down jEdit? I know we can throw them in the startup directory to be run on startup, but what about when we shut down?

Hello,

I have been using jEdit for a few months now, and it is an awesome editor. I have written a few macros, but I do not know Beanshell very well and now I am stumped.

I want to write a macro to correct some words using SearchAndReplace command. I would like to be able to define the words to be searched and replaced, and then to run a loop, where the replacements happen. I am vaguely aware of things such as arrays and maps, and I think in my case I am going to have to use one of those, but I don't know where to begin.

This is an example of how I want it to work (just a concept, not a working code):

//Define search and replace pairs
searchReplacePairs[] = ("thats","that's",
"lets","let's"
"...","...");

//Grab each pair and perform replace
Loop searchReplacePairs
{
SearchAndReplace.setSearchString(textToSearch);
SearchAndReplace.setReplaceString(textToReplace);
SearchAndReplace.setBeanShellReplace(false);
SearchAndReplace.setIgnoreCase(true);
SearchAndReplace.setRegexp(true);
SearchAndReplace.setSearchFileSet(new CurrentBufferSet());
SearchAndReplace.replaceAll(view);
}

As you can see, I do not know how to define the array, then how to parse it to get the textToSearch/textToReplace pair and process it in the loop. Any help would be welcome.

Thanks, tvojeho

How do I get to the class or method that control the Highlight. when you save as "example.java" the extension will know that it is a java program other extensions are Java,xml,php, perl.etc. example of what I am saying is below.

public SyntaxStyle getStyle()
{
if(!okClicked)
return null;
Color foreground = (fgColorCheckBox.isSelected()
? fgColor.getSelectedColor()
: null);


When I save a new file as "example.java" Those color on public, getsysle etc. should not appear again.

I have tried all the GlobalOptions, SyntaxHillit, and others I cannot find it. I am a babe learning.

Hi all, Is it possible to write a macro that can return the xpath of the element or attribute the cursor is located at? For example, given the following xml document, and assuming the cursor is located on the Target element, the macro would return the string: /Links/Link/Target Link 1 label /htdocs/images/coffee_cup.jpg I can not find this functionality in the XML plugin or elsewhere. Possible? Thanks, Paul

I often have the task to select or delete a text (more than one line) from the actual position till a pattern to search for. If you know UEDIT there you can press "shift" and initiate the search. All the text from the current position including the string found will be marked.

I accomplished this by recording a macro and manipulating the Java code afterwards. However, if you are recording a quick macro this is much too intricate.

What did I miss?

Thanks for your help, Rolf.

Hi there, I'd like to have a macro that sets the buffer option folding to custom and configures the ConfigurableFoldPlugin to use

  // launch app to open file NOT WORKING!
  /*
  os = System.getProperty("os.name");
  if(os.indexOf("Windows 9") == -1 && os.indexOf("Windows M") == -1) {
    comspec = "cmd.exe /C ";
  } else {
    comspec = "command.exe /C ";
  }
  */
  comspec="explorer.exe ";
  if (myfile.matches("[\\/]")) {
    command=comspec+myfile;
  } else {
    // handle relative paths:
    command=comspec+buffer.getDirectory()+myfile;
  }
  // Macros.error( view, "launching "+command);
  setAccessibility(true);
  runtime = new java.lang.Runtime();
  runtime.exec(command);
  return;
