Textpad $clip replacement in UltraEdit/UEStudio

[sebadaza]

hi all,

1) I have a problem with my tool configuration. I uses a program (tdRunSyntax.exe), that executes syntax spss command. previously I uses textpad and it works well. I change to ultraedit, but I have a problem with the $clip parameter of textpad (selected text in the active document, or the whole document if nothing is selected, is copied to the clipboard before running the tool. this is not a real parameter, in that nothing is substituted in the command line). tdRunSyntax runs well with ultraedit, except for that I have to copy syntax before run tool, every time. Exists a $clip parameter for ultraedit? How I can solve this trouble?

2) other question: How I can create tag of more than one line?

thanks for all!

1) No, there is no equivalent for $clip in UE. But this is no problem. You can create a macro in a macro file which is set to be automatically loaded when UE is started. The macro contains for example following lines:

IfSel
Copy
Else
ToggleBookmark
SelectAll
Copy
EndSelect
GotoBookmark
ToggleBookmark
EndIf
RunTool "case-sensitive name of the user tool"

Assign the hotkey you normally use to run your user tool to the macro.


2) See taglist file!
