Delete empty lines

[tinti]

Hello

I try to delete all empty lines in an active document. Unfortunately following script doesn't work. Can anybody tell me where is the problem?

Code: Select all

UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.regExp=true;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.replaceAll=true;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.replace("%^p","");

It seems that the RegExpfind string won't found. If I change the RegExp to something else, everything works fine.

Thank's a lot for every support!

Regards, Joerg

Whenever a script uses a find or replace (regexp or normal), the (regexp) engine must be set first. Also always specify once all find/replace options. Never let your script depend on internal defaults. An internal default could change in future.

UltraEdit.ueReOn();
UltraEdit.activeDocument.top();
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.mode=0;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.searchDown=true;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.searchInColumn=false;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.matchCase=true; // Not important here, but case-sensitive searches are in general faster.
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.matchWord=false;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.preserveCase=false;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.replaceInAllOpen=false;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.regExp=true;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.replaceAll=true;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.replace("%[ ^t]++^p","");

The modification in the search string results in deletion of lines containing only spaces/tabs too.
