_QROffset () trouble

[Ivan N. Zlatev]

I have the code below which inserts some text. My problem is that I insert the text before the current offset, so the originalOffset is no longer valid? How can I go around that? I tried adding the length (indent_string (p_SyntaxIndent)) + length (inserted text), but still not any near to the original offset . Also how could I possibly merge the insert_blank_line_below and the _insert_text into 1 transaction (1 undo operation). Thanks in advance.

Code: [Select]

// generates a field prefixed with "_" from a local variable just after the class definition
//
static _str generate_field_from_local (VS_TAG_BROWSE_INFO varInfo)
{
   long originalOffset = _QROffset ();

   _str lineText;
   VS_TAG_BROWSE_INFO classInfo;

   if (get_class_context (originalOffset, classInfo) < 0)
      return null;

   p_line = classInfo.scope_line_no;
   get_line (lineText);
   if (!endsWith (lineText, "{"))// opening { not on the same line of the class definition
      p_line++; // assuming opening { is on the next line, so move to there

   insert_blankline_below (); // this also indents
   p_line++;

   _str fieldName = "_" :+ varInfo.member_name;
   _str field = "private " :+ varInfo.return_type :+ " " :+ fieldName :+ ";";
   _insert_text (field);
   _GoToROffset (originalOffset); // restore offset
   return fieldName;
}

@i-nZ: What about using _save/_restore_pos ? Did you already try it ?

Code: [Select]

   typeless p;
   _save_pos2(p);

   // do stuff maybe modifying the buffer

   _restore_pos2(p);

Alternatively unnamed boookmarks can be used too:

Code: [Select]

   push_bookmark();

   // ...

   pop_bookmark();

Sorry, no idea about undo compression

Hey, thanks for the tips. I wasn't aware of the existance of the bookmarks/positions functions. Thanks again.
