Key HOME is not a really good method to restore the correct end position for the selection, especially if the line below the block starts with spaces or tabs and you have configuration setting Home Key always Goto column 1 not enabled as I have. Therefore further replaces on the selection can run not on the same block and the result could be not what you would expect.Ī fast but not secure macro is following:īut if this macro works or not depends on the line below the selected block and how large the selected block is and how many bytes are inserted by every replace. The problem is that when replacing something in a selected block which modifies the number of selected bytes the end position of the selection is not correct restored after the replace. Well, now we need some regular expression replaces.

Press the button Close and confirm updating the macro with Yes.

Ultraedit macro examples trial#

I am using a trial version of Ultraedit v13.20, in WinXP environment, line terminator is 'Default'.Īnd I prefer Ultraedit's regular expression. And the search goes on until eof.Īlso, please allow me to add additional info about my version of Uedit here: But it would be okay if the macro can convert to either the above or like (Notice that the conflict may be in here as there are indeed 2 /* */ groups within a line. Then skip 'Var1' as it's not inside any of /*. So it would be better to first remove those key assignments in configuration dialog before creating the macros with the hotkeys to execute the macro command GotoBookMark X.Perhaps I should restate that 'I need to add a string 'TC' at the end of each line between /* and */ INCLUSIVELY.' User clipboard 9 switching active clipboard. Ctrl+9 are assigned to the commands Windows clipboard, User clipboard 1. Please note that by default Ctrl+0, Ctrl+1 . Macro with for example name Goto Bookmark 1 with assigned hotkey Ctrl+1 would have the macro command GotoBookMark 0, the second macro with name Goto Bookmark 2 with assigned hotkey Ctrl+2 would have the macro command GotoBookMark 1, and so on. There are only the commands Next bookmark and Previous bookmark to jump to next or previous bookmark by key without using Go To dialog window or Bookmark Viewer list view.īut if a Ctrl+ number feature is wanted to jump to bookmarks of bookmark index 0 to n, it is possible to create several macros all with just one command with appropriate hotkey for execution stored all in same macro file which is configured to be automatically loaded on startup of UltraEdit to have the macros and their hotkeys available right after starting UltraEdit. There is by default no hotkey assigned to command Bookmark viewer in Key mapping configuration dialog to toggle the visibility of this view, but this can be changed by a user often using Bookmark Viewer list view. Please note also the context menu of this view by clicking with secondary (right) mouse button into this view. It is of course possible to customize this view like any other view as floating or dockable window whereby the dockable window can be docked on any side of UltraEdit main application window and can be configured to auto-hide. Click in menu View in submenu Views/lists on menu Bookmark viewer on using toolbar/menu mode with traditional menus. On using toolbar/menu mode with contemporary menus click in menu Layout on menu item Bookmarks. Make this view visible with a click on ribbon tab Layout in second group Views on item Bookmarks. There is also the Bookmark Viewer list view. Press Ctrl+G (command Goto) and select Bookmark to jump to any of the bookmarked lines/columns. In UltraEdit bookmarks are named with a user customizable name.
