Hi Yutaka,
I just extracted some lines by utilizing a macro to find lines containing specific string,
and wanted to add a feature to highlight that string in the lines in the new document.
I thought about Markers (https://www.emeditor.com/text-editor-features/user-experience/markers/)
but couldn’t find any macro reference for that.
 
Would that be a issue for a feature wish?

MarkerSet(“Name”, “string”, nColor, bWord, bCase, bRegEx)
MarkerDel(“Name”)

 

Thanks for making EmEditor.
今後もよろしくお願い申し上げます。

Hello,

I will think about adding macro object/methods/properties related to markers.

Meanwhile, you can use the Add to Markers command:

editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4560);

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Thank you very much for the feedback.
 
That way works, but I miss a way to adjust the added marker, to highlight all spellings and ‘whole word only’.
Maybe I am better use the ‘Find’ command only, to highlight the ‘MySearchStr’ string.
 

 
MY USAGE EXAMPLE:
-search code here to find lines containing ‘MySearchStr’-
-then I extract that lines incl. surrounding lines to another document:
editor.NewFile()
document.writeln(resultText)
document.selection.Find MySearchStr, eeFindPrevious
document.selection.SelectWord
editor.ExecuteCommandByID 4560
