hey all. so i am an eclipse user trying to switch over to textmate for some perl development. usually i end up with project folders that have their own modules (.pm files) within, and eclipse allows me to specify the library folders to be part of the @INC path at run time. this is great because it makes the whole project folder portable, and i don't have to "install" developement modules on the system in any of the usual locations. my issue is that the perl module "run script" command doesn't seem to allow for any of this. what solutions do you all use to get around this? please save me from eclipse. thx e

Application Support & Shared support & PropertyList is deprecated error

by xolela＠mac.com

Hello all, I am having problems were by attempt to word completion (say for something starting "people..") leads to the following error: peopleWarning: PropertyList is deprecated. Use OSX::PropertyList instead. dom I am using the latest cutting edge Textmate version: Version 1.5.6 (1414) I also updated the bundles that I loaded separately using : cd /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 svn up *.tmbundle osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to reload bundles' And then After a search at the macromate site I read a suggestion that I would have to use the following commands to change to the most recent version of support: cd /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate sudo svn co http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Support indeed, this was confirmed after I checked by using ^R on: echo "$TM_SUPPORT_PATH" which now gave /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support IN PLACE OF the previous /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support This has not helped... Is there another solution to ridding myself of the above error? Thanks in advance. danstan

Context menu: Help me get my mind around this...

by pixpop

I'm attempting to use TM for my most common development tasks, but haven't got my head around it yet. Can someone point me at the right place to find documentation about the following: Task 1: I work on a code base of about 50,000 lines of ordinary C code, spread over about 30 files. Most of what I do is cut, paste, search, make. I want to add some functions to the context menu. First, I want a function that would take me to the definition of the item under the cursor. E.g., if it's a function, open a window containing the prototype, or otherwise show me the prototype. If it's a constant, take me to the header file where it's defined. Second, I want a function that will find references to the symbol under the cursor. I don't want it to find definitions or comments, just any chunk of code that actually uses the symbol. This would be some variant of the 'Use Selection For find', but as a context menu item. Task 2: I want to add an item to the context menu that will do the following: save any dirty files, then run the makefile of the project. If there are any errors, take me to the place in the source file that contains the first error. This would be something like the Command-B, but as a context menu item. Also, when I tried using Command-B, it attempted to build the code using Xcode. I just want it to run the makefile in a shell and show me the errors. I would also want to -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Context-menu%3A-Help-me-get-my-mind-around-this...-tf… Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Makefile support?

by Niko Matsakis

Hello, I'm trying to get the feel for TextMate right now, and I'm wondering: can it be that there is no nice support for Makefiles? I checked out the Makefile bundle from SVN, but while that does allow you to *run* a Makefile, it doesn't allow you to click on an error message and be taken to the relevant source file, or do any other interactive goodness, unless I am mistaken. In general, it seems it would be nice if there were a way to run an arbitrary command and filter the output for file names and line numbers (kind of like M-x compile); this would be quite flexible for those of using projects that don't build in Xcode. Is there a bundle out there that provides this kind of feature? Or, at least some kind of "Build with Makefile" support? I am not trying to slight the work of the author of the Makefile bundle, by the way: no doubt s/he just doesn't use Makefiles that often. But I would be surprised to learn that there aren't a lot of users still working on projects that use makefiles to build... thanks for any information! Niko Matsakis

section, subsection-snippets etc and umlauts

by Niels Kobschätzki

Hi! When I use the section and similar snippets to create a section and have a title with an Umlaut then it looks like this: \section{this is an Umlaut-test: äöüß} % (fold) \label{sec:this_is_an_umlaut_test_äöüß} % section this_is_an_umlaut_test_äöüß (end) The problem with this is that LaTeX seems not to handle umlauts and other special characters in labels and therefore I always have to change them to something else like \section{this is an Umlaut-test: äöüß} % (fold) \label{sec:this_is_an_umlaut_test_aeoeuess} % section this_is_an_umlaut_test_aeoeuess (end) by hand. Isn't there a possibility to do this automatically? Ä -> Ae Ö -> Oe Ü -> Ue ß -> ss ä -> ae ö -> oe ü -> ue I think similar stuff would be useful for anyone using languages with accents or whatever with the LaTeX-bundle and it works already with ":" and other special characters which become an underscore. Would be really appreciated by me if this small addition could be made :) Niels

HTML: Select full tag

by Owen Leonard

I'm bouncing between Homesite at work (well, ColdFusion Studio actually, I'm that much of a stick-in-the-mud), and TextMate at home, and I'm looking for the TM equivalent of "select full tag" -- a keyboard shortcut that selects the whole tag block whether your cursor is in the start or end tag. Can TextMate do that? Thanks, Owen

Single Quote as Comment

by michael＠sacisolutions.com

I'm trying to create a bundle for RealBasic. I've made some progress, but I keep getting stumped in trying to create a single line comment, (which in RealBasic is either // or ' The double-forward slash works fine, but the single quote doesn't. This is the code: { name = 'comment.line.single-quote.myRB'; match = "(\').*$\n?"; captures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.definition.comment.myRB'; }; }; }, Thanks, mvreade

converting and merging files through TM

by Jamal Shahin

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone here can help with two 'slightly-related to TextMate' problems I've encountered. I've been given a couple of hundred documents in different formats (.doc, .pdf, .rtf) that need to be put into one big document (which will be about 200pp long). I used 'textutil' to convert most of the documents to txt (ps2ascii for the pdfs), and then gave them all a filename with a number. Using TM, I created a macro that would add the filename at the top of each individual file, and then converted this into "##number ##". I then used 'textutil -cat' to merge them into one file. So now each 'section' has a filename, title, and block of text. I will then turn this into a file format which will allow formatting (LaTeX or maybe RTF, all I need is one big PDF at the end). I have come across two issues: 1. There are some strange characters (most likely from different character sets?) that have appeared in the text. I am assuming that these are accented characters, smart quotes, and so forth, and was wondering: *How I can automatically convert these characters?* I started doing this using find and replace for the ones I know, but I was wondering if there was some easier way to do it. some examples follow: actor ‚Äìmeaning Pr√ºm Integration¬†: ¬´¬†new regionalism¬†¬ª i EU√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s energy 2. the numbering system I used for the files was based on a primary key from our database, but I've been asked to renumber all the files starting from 1 (for a silly reason, the database started with a primary key of 67, and manually-entered records start at 400.). *Is there any way that I can use TM to convert "##number ##" into "## incremental number ##"?* e.g. in find and replace, use: find: ##(\d*)\w? ## (the \w? is there as a couple of documents are labelled like: 137a) replace: ##(x+1) ## It's the (x+1) that's bothering me. Sorry if this is not in the realm of this list (any recommendations?), but any pointers would be really appreciated! Many thanks, Jamal -- Vrije Universiteit Brussel
