Re: script: setCaretPos or ecGotoXY does not work [44655]

[vvume]

Here is my code. Is there anything wrong with my usage of setCaretPos?

//
// Get a list of lines in code starting with
// 'function' or 'report' - this summarizes
// all the functions or reports in the program
//
function ShowFunctions() {
  var edLog = newEditor();
  edLog.assignActiveEditor();

  var edFilter = newEditor();
  edFilter.NewFile();

  var s = edLog.Text();
  var l = s.split("\n");
  var i;

  //save the editor FN in the 1st line for later retreival
  var FN = edLog.fileName() + "\n";
  edFilter.appendText(FN);
  
  for (i in l)
  {
    var t = l[i];

    if ((t.search(/function/i) == 0) ||
       (t.search(/report/i) == 0)) {
      edFilter.appendText(t);
    }
  }
}

//
// Keep the cursor on the function line that you would like 
// to go to and run the script. It searches for the correct
// open filename and attempts to seek the line where the 
// function starts
//
function getSelText(){
  var i;
  
  var edLog = newEditor();
  edLog.assignActiveEditor(); 
  
  //The search text till just before the "(" - the "("
  //throws an error in search and should be avoided
  var searchText = filterFuncName(edLog.lineText());
  
  var s = edLog.Text();
  var l = s.split("\n");
  
  //first line should contain the editor file name
  var FN = l[0];
  FN = FN.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ''); //Trim spaces
  
  var edFilter = newEditor();
  var ecount = editorsCount();
  //lets hope the FN matches at least one open editor. 
  //Otherwise the function quits.
  var AFN;
  for(i=0;i<ecount;i++){
      edFilter.assignEditorByIndex(i);
      AFN = edFilter.fileName();
      AFN = AFN.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
      if(FN==AFN)
        break;            
  }
  if (FN != AFN)
     return;
     
  edFilter.activate();
  
  var s1 = edFilter.Text();
  var l1 = s1.split("\n");
  
  //Get the line where the function/report
  //resides
  var ind;
  for (i in l1) {
    var t = l1[i];    
    if (t.search(searchText) == 0){
        ind = i; 
        break;
    }
  }

  //now move the cursor to that line
/*
  edFilter.setCaretPos(ind,0);
*/  
 //setCaretPos didn't work
 //tedious & unreliable workaround
  var PageLength = 53;
  edFilter.command("ecEditorTop");
  //calculate the number of pages down
  var nopgdn = Math.floor(ind/PageLength);
  for(i=1;i<=nopgdn;i++)
     edFilter.command("ecPageDown");
  //calculate the number of lines down after
  //page down
  nopgdn = ind%PageLength;
  for(i=1;i<=nopgdn;i++)
     edFilter.command("ecDown");
}

function filterFuncName(funcName){
   var i = funcName.indexOf("(");
   if (i > 0){
      return funcName.substring(0,i-1);
   }else{
      return funcName;
   }
}
