hello!

I currently work with turkish text and I need an automatic way to convert all special turkish characters into their corresponding english/latin characters

because I often work with other than english languages that have special characters, I need a way to convert them to their english/latin character analogue

but for now, a solution for turkish?

thanks!

Hi,

I guess it could be done by macro:

– start “record macro”,
– replace one special character to the corresponding latin character (replace all)
– stop record
– “edit” the macro recored, copy all code generated by emeditor and paste it else where.
– repeat the procedure above with each special character you want to replace, except append the generated macro code to the first one.
– save the cumulated code to a single macro, put it in toolbar or asign it a short-cut key.

Best regards! :-)

Hi user,

As ToadLoadin mentioned, you can use a macro to do this.

Also, you can use the Batch Replace feature of EmEditor Professional 11 to do this task easily.

Thanks!

thanks, I will try macro, but I am interested in batch replace too

however, is it possible to save a specific batch and run it by clicking a button in the toolbar?

Hi user,

Unfortunately, it is not easy to create a button from a batch you create from the Batch Replace feature. I might think about exporting as a macro from the Batch Replace dialog in future versions. Thanks!

[user]

can anyone write a JS script or something that will do these replaces with a click of a button?

i for ı
g for ğ
s for ş
c for ç
u for ü
o for ö

case sensitive, in all document, every instance

thanks!

Hello,

You could actually record a macro while doing the batch replace.

The actual script will look like:

document.selection.Replace("a","b",eeFindNext | eeFindSaveHistory | eeFindReplaceEscSeq | eeReplaceAll | eeFindReplaceQuiet);

	document.selection.Replace("c","d",eeFindNext | eeFindSaveHistory | eeFindReplaceEscSeq | eeReplaceAll | eeFindReplaceQuiet);

	...

	

Thanks,

[user]

it seems to work very well, thanks!

but how do I specify the case-sensitive action?

[ToadLoadin]

I guess while recording the macro, if you turned case sensitive on, it will also be recored into the macro code.

Hi all,

1) What command should be used for removing a character?

2) How to replace double (or more) empty lines with a single empty line?

Thank you!

Yutaka,

I have just used this technique to write a snippet/macro that changes curly quotes (single and double), sort and long dashes into their equivalent keyboard characters.

In the past I have had to do this as a series of “Find and Replace” tasks. Now its a simple highlight the text and click on the snippet.

Thank you very much for the tip.

Regards,
Peter :-D

Any help for removing characters using JavaScript?

[ToadLoadin]

You can find it here.

Thank you!

Now how is it possible to remove double (or more) empty lines?

Thank you again for any response!

:-) I think it could be done with this macro:

// If nothing selected, select all.

	var currentSelection = getSelection();

	

	// A find'n replace using regular expression

	// (in selected range only).

	currentSelection.Replace("^s*$n", "", eeReplaceSelOnly | eeReplaceAll | eeFindReplaceRegExp);

	

	// earase search keyword highlighting.

	document.HighlightFind = false;

Then, you could use this macro to insert empty lines between each “none-empty” line (forgive my poor english):

// If nothing selected, select all.

	var currentSelection = getSelection();

	

	// A find'n replace using regular expression 

	// (in selected range only).

	currentSelection.Replace("n", "nn", eeReplaceSelOnly | eeReplaceAll | eeFindReplaceRegExp);

	

	// earase search keyword highlighting.

	document.HighlightFind = false;

[ToadLoadin]

I just found that both of the two macro above is not perfect due to lack of checking the setting whether “regular expressions can match new line characters” or not…

Peter ,

Wanna to share your code?
