But I think this better should be plugin or a LUA > script. Or any other kind of script/program which can read text from stdin and print the changed text on stdout. Then you can use the "Send selection to" command in Geany(*). The only thing you have to do, is to write this script/program that handles the input, mangles it in some way and prints it out. Geany will take care of the selection handling. (*) which should be used with care on Windows, it might work, it might fail. Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.key
