To delete blank lines, I would bookmark all regular expressions:

^$

(use “Bookmark All” button in the Find dialog box)

and then use the Delete Bookmarked Lines command.

If you have enough physical memory in your PC, and if you need to replace many multi-line text (combine lines or split lines), you might want to try clearing the Use Temporary File to Reduce Memory Usage check box in the Advanced tab of the Customize dialog box.

Hello,

I am not sure if it is called a bug, but I will think about that in future versions.
Thanks,

Hello,

These plug-ins uses certain Windows API functions to do these conversion. You can download the source code from our library, and customize the plug-ins as you wish.

Hello,

I understand what you mean. However, the current behavior of EmEditor is correct. The hidden line is only HIDDEN, and not DELETED. Therefore, when you do a search, EmEditor will do the search according to the real text. EmEditor will only skip hidden lines if the search term doesn’t begin with the visible lines, but once the visible portion matches, EmEditor will check the hidden text. If you really want to delete those lines, you should extract filtered text into another document (You can use the Extract All button in the Filter toolbar). The logic is similar to hidden text by Outline Guide. It is also similar to the result of “Compare” commands. After comparison, some lines are separated by blank lines, but the search will not consider them real blank lines.

If this contradicts any other behaviors of EmEditor, please let me know.

Thank you,

Hi Paul,

I reproduced this issue, and it will be fixed on the next version.

Thanks!

Yes, I try EmEditor use very little memory per line, and one flag per line is very significant increase.

I am not sure if I understand your question about filtering. If this is a bug, can you please write a simple test case so that I can reproduce the issue.

Thank you,

Hello,

In order to highlight multi-line search terms, EmEditor will need additional flags for each line, which increases memory usage. It also increases the computation time, and slows down the EmEditor speed. Therefore, EmEditor does not highlight multi-line search terms, and it has been this way for many years.

I understand the filtering out means. Thanks for clarification.

Hello,

You can use:

document.selection.GetActivePointX( eePosCell );

Thanks,

[Yutaka Emura]

Hello,

EmEditor will not highlight (green) if the highlight word contains a newline. The Filter feature will not search for a newline.

I hope this clarifies your question. Please let me know if you can’t really find any regular expressions.

Thanks,

[Yutaka Emura]

Hello jic,

I understood.
Please make sure a backslash (\) is specified in the Escape Character text box in the Highlight (2) tab of configuration properties.

Thanks,

Hello LTT,

I will look into these issues. There are no macro functions available for markers.

Thanks!

[Yutaka Emura]

Hello,

Can you please explain what the problem is? Is this about CSV documents, or highlighting problems?

[Yutaka Emura]

I received your email, and finally reproduced the issue. You will have to de-select any selections before you try to sort, otherwise, EmEditor will try to sort only the selection. If only one line is selected, EmEditor will try to sort only one line, which doesn’t make sense. Therefore, I will disable the selection sort if only one line is selected on the next version, and this behavior will not happen anymore.

Thanks!

Hello,

I can’t reproduce the problem. Does the “Sort by Multiple Columns” dialog box appear when you click on the “Sort by Multiple Columns” button on the CSV/Sort toolbar?

[Yutaka Emura]

Hello,

I am sorry, but you can’t change the order of files with a folder of the Project plug-in.

[Yutaka Emura]

Hello,

I wrote a macro that just that for you:

iColumn = document.selection.GetActivePointX( eePosCell );
nLines = document.GetLines();
if( document.GetLine( nLines ) == "" )  nLines--;
sText = "";
for( y = 1; y <= nLines; y++ ) {
	sText += document.GetCell( y, iColumn, eeCellIncludeNone ) + "\r\n";
}
clipboardData.setData("Text", sText );

[Yutaka Emura]

You can’t specify a text qualifier, it is always double-quotes.
The new cell toolbar will show you the content of the selected cell without double-quotes.

Thanks!

Hello KamilZ,

This is the correct behavior. If multiple lines are selected, the Tab key behaves as the “Indent”.

If you really want the Tab behaves as inserting the Tab, you can write a macro:

document.selection.Text="\x09";

and assign this macro as the Tab key.

Hello,

Some old programs need the EOF character (0x1a), and I believe some users asked for it. I will change the name of the check box and also explain it in the Help.

Thanks,

[Yutaka Emura]

Hello atnak,

I used your sample program, and reproduce the issue. I found that EmEditor always outputs EOF (0x1a) when the “Selection” or “Document” is selected for the Input in the External Tool Properties.To work around this, you can select the “Custom” for the Input, and then enter “$(DocText)” for the “Custom” text box, and make sure the “Add EOF” check box is cleared.

On the next version, I will make the “Add EOF” check box enabled even when “Selection” or “Document” is selected.

Thanks!

[Yutaka Emura]

Hello,

I believe 0x1A is an End-Of-File (EOF) character, and the cat command probably produces the EOF.

Hello David,

Can you check if the “Enable Multiple Selections” check box is set in the Edit tab of the Customize dialog box?

Thanks,

[Yutaka Emura]

Hello David,

I am not sure why the Select All button is grayed out. Can you download the latest version (v16.0.2) and try again without copying your old INI files?

Thanks,

[Yutaka Emura]

Hello LifeTimer,

I reproduced the issue, and it will be fixed on the next version.

Thanks!

[Yutaka Emura]

Hello LifeTimer,

I will think about improving the external tools so that each tool can use an independent buffer, but it will take some time. It also depends on priorities. If more customers would like this feature, then I would have to add this sooner. Please let me know if any other users would like to have this feature.

Thanks,
