Selecting text

[jbeck]

Hello

Does anyone know how to select an entire line without selecting the hard return at the end?

selectLine() unfortunately selects the line and the return.

There does not appear to be a key("SHIFT+END") command either.

Just do some basic javascript string manipulation after retrieving the selected line. Here is an example.

Code: Select all

String.prototype.nocrlf = function() { return this.replace(/[\r\n]/g, ""); };

UltraEdit.activeDocument.selectLine();
var line = UltraEdit.activeDocument.selection;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.bottom();
UltraEdit.activeDocument.write(line.nocrlf());
UltraEdit.activeDocument.write("-----");


I'm using prototype to add a new method to the string object. The method is some simple regexp.

Thanks jorrasdk, you are obviously a javascript "guru"

My experience of javascript has come through UltraEdit!
