Title: macro to select path from an unsaved buffer
Post by: flethuseo on October 20, 2016, 09:38:21 PM

I have tried recording a macro that will capture the path in a bunch of text that ends in *.xml. However when I try to execute, it only selects the quote and the C and not the full path:

Code: [Select]

#include "slick.sh"
_command last_recorded_macro() name_info(','VSARG2_MARK|VSARG2_REQUIRES_EDITORCTL)
{
   _macro('R',1);
   if (find(".xml","+>NIp?")) stop();
   select_char();
   cursor_right();
   if (find('''C',"-NIp?")) stop();
}

sample text to execute macro on:

Code: [Select]

impl.data.query Tests

The find() command will select the match if found (assuming that option is set in preferences).  It will override whatever previous selection operation.  You can you use the lower-level search() command instead, though do note it doesn't handle any wrapping at end or beginning of document.

Thanks, I got the desired behavior with this macro:

Code: [Select]

#include "slick.sh"
_command last_recorded_macro() name_info(','VSARG2_MARK|VSARG2_REQUIRES_EDITORCTL)
{
   _str text = '.xml''';
   if (search(text, 'E>') != 0) {
      stop();
   }

   select_char();
   cursor_right();
   if (search('''C','-E')) stop();
}
