I have HTML block files that I use to generate long letter.
Currently, I cut and past them into a framework file manually.

I wish to automate the process in a VERY specific way, to create a pre-processor like "#include" script, so that my new document will look like that

<html>
<header>whatever required here</header>
<body>
<global = a group of required global definitions, design parameters, tags and tables>

<! here is the important part>

#include "d:\users\username\project\data\zBlock-Hello.html"
#include "d:\users\username\project\data\zBlock-UserDetails.html"
#include "d:\users\username\project\data\zBlock-DocumentsLinks.html"
#include "d:\users\username\project\data\zBlock-DownloadLinks.html"

</global>
</body>
</html>

The structure of the #include script I believe should be something like the following:
UltraEdit.document[$FileName].open
UltraEdit.document[$FileName].SelectAll
UltraEdit.document[$FileName].copy
UltraEdit.activeDocument.paste
UltraEdit.document[$FileName].close

Questions:
(1) How to obtain the file name string ($FileName) required for the commands
(2) How to implement the commands
(3) How to get an output file, that is how to actually execute the script?

I am TOTALLY new to Ultra Edit, I have to find my way around on how to do things here, I would DEEPLY appreciate a step by step guidance (or if anyone may just programme it and I use it as an excellent tutorial), if my modus operandi is erroneous, please enlighten me on how to do that correctly with UE. Please note the a simple "merge" is UNFAVOURABLE as I must have the work frame and I wish not to split the decelerations openings from their closing, leaving me with a serve maintenance problem.

In former times this was done on webserver with SSI (server side includes), nowadays PHP is used usually. But if you want to do that offline, here is a script which should fulfill the task. I have included just one important comment and no more. If I should comment the code for you when the script is working, please feel free to ask for the comments.

Code: Select all: // Include here function GetFileIndex posted in UltraEdit script forum // http://www.ultraedit.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=4596#p26710 if (UltraEdit.document.length > 1) { UltraEdit.insertMode(); UltraEdit.columnModeOff(); var nCurLine = UltraEdit.activeDocument.currentLineNum; var nCurColumn = UltraEdit.activeDocument.currentColumnNum; if (typeof(UltraEdit.activeDocumentIdx) == "undefined") nCurColumn++; UltraEdit.activeDocument.selectAll(); if (UltraEdit.activeDocument.isSel()) { UltraEdit.selectClipboard(9); UltraEdit.activeDocument.copy(); UltraEdit.activeDocument.endSelect(); UltraEdit.activeDocument.gotoLine(nCurLine,nCurColumn); var nOutputIndex = UltraEdit.document.length; UltraEdit.newFile(); UltraEdit.ueReOn(); UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].paste(); UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].top(); UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].findReplace.mode=0; UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].findReplace.matchCase=true; UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].findReplace.matchWord=false; UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].findReplace.regExp=true; UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].findReplace.searchDown=true; UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].findReplace.searchInColumn=false; var sLineType = "\r"; if (UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].findReplace.find("^p")) sLineType = "\r\n"; else if (UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].findReplace.find("^n")) sLineType = "\n"; UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].top(); while (UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].findReplace.find("%[ ^t]++#include[ ^t]+\"*\"")) { var sFileName = UltraEdit.activeDocument.selection.replace(/.*"(.+)"/,"$1"); var nIncludeIndex = GetFileIndex(sFileName); if (nIncludeIndex < 0) { UltraEdit.open(sFileName); UltraEdit.activeDocument.selectAll(); UltraEdit.activeDocument.copy(); UltraEdit.closeFile(UltraEdit.activeDocument.path,2); } else { UltraEdit.document[nIncludeIndex].selectAll(); UltraEdit.document[nIncludeIndex].copy(); } UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].selectLine(); UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].paste(); if (UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].isColNumGt(1)) { UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].write(sLineType); } } UltraEdit.document[nOutputIndex].top(); UltraEdit.clearClipboard(); UltraEdit.selectClipboard(0); } }
