A general question about Jython scripting.
Before 1.0.4 was released I had imagined that I might be able to write a
script that could receive a selection from the editor, reformat it and
return it to the editor to be pasted over the original selection. I
was
thinking of doing some comment reformatting on demand.
As far as I can tell the current scripting API does not support this
sort of thing. Is that right?
Actually, you can do it, but you have to know a bit from the Eclipse API
too... A 'simple' way of doing it would be requesting the editor
document (something like editor.getDocument()) and play with it. It is
an IDocument, and you can get whatever you want from it and change it as
much as you like.
Also, maybe taking a look at PySelection (
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pydev/org.python.pydev.core/src/org/python/pydev/core/docutils/PySelection.java?rev=1.7&view=markup
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pydev/org.python.pydev.core/src/org/python/pydev/core/docutils/PySelection.java?rev=1.7&view=markup>)
might be worth it... It provides a nicer interface for getting info from
a document/selection.
You can instantiate it in jython with:
from org.python.pydev.core.docutils import PySelection
sel = PySelection(editor)
Hi Fabio:
As far as I can see there are no methods in PySelection that allow you
to put text back into the editor, is this correct?
I know that I can do what I want with an IDocument using the replace
method, I just wondered if I am missing something in the PySelection.
Thanks,
Don.
