move cursor to end of selection

[UltraBoG]

Does anyone know how to move the cursor to the end of the current selection?

I want to do a findReplace.find, but leave the cursor at the end of the selection.

When I do an ordinary find/findnext in the editor (F3 key), the cursor is left at the end of the selection. But if I use findReplace.find within a .js script, the cursor is left at the beginning of the selecion.

I thought sth. like this would do the job:

Code: Select all

UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.find("WHATER_YOU_WANT");
//unmark
UltraEdit.activeDocument.key("RIGHT ARROW");
UltraEdit.activeDocument.key("LEFT ARROW");

but I think there is a bug. When I start the script It finds "WHATER_YOU_WANT" and then loses focus completely. (Focus is in scripting-window).
Can you confirm this ?

I think the easiest way is

Code: Select all

UltraEdit.activeDocument.cut();
UltraEdit.activeDocument.paste();

Spooky!!!

I used Begos simple scripting find:

Code: Select all

UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.find("WHATER_YOU_WANT");

and as UltraBoG described, the cursor is in the beginning of the selection.

And here is the spooky part - add a ueReOn:

Code: Select all

UltraEdit.ueReOn();
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.find("WHATER_YOU_WANT");

even though we're not using Regex, suddenly the cursor is at the end of the selection. Go figure.

Default regex engine in scripting is perl, so if I add

Code: Select all

UltraEdit.perlReOn();
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.find("WHATER_YOU_WANT");

again the cursor is at the beginning. Hmmm.

(btw in both cases I also tested with "UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.regExp=false;" just to be sure regex was not on. Same result).
