hello

in Emeditor, there is a feature to sort lines alphabetically or arithmetically, but how can I sort lines according to their length?

thanks!

Hi user,
I wrote this macro for you:

document.selection.EndOfDocument(false);

	endOfDocu = document.selection.GetActivePointY( eePosView );

	document.selection.StartOfDocument(false);

	document.selection.EndOfLine(false,eeLineView);

	currentCursor = document.selection.GetActivePointY( eePosView );

	while ( endOfDocu != currentCursor ) {

		currentCursor = document.selection.GetActivePointY( eePosView );

		numberOfChar = document.selection.GetActivePointX( eePosLogical ) - 1;

		document.selection.StartOfLine(false,eeLineView | eeLineHomeText);

		document.selection.Text=numberOfChar + ": ";

		document.selection.LineDown(false,1);

		document.selection.EndOfLine(false,eeLineView);

	}

	

This macro will add numbers which indicate the number of characters of the line to the start of lines.
After that,you can use the “sort” of emeditor.
Than replace “^d+?:s” with NULL to restore orginial line.
Hope it helps. :-)

Cheers,
angus.
