A TextMate command to open an arbitrary PDF file

by dzurn

I created a bundle command to open a file from a repository directory, based on the selected text. It was put in the Text bundle, with no particular context. Here's my current (working) command. open "file:///path/to/repository/volume/$TM_SELECTED_TEXT.pdf" This will open the PDF file with the selected filename. (I use open since I want to see the PDF in Acrobat, not TextMate.) However, now there's arbitrary (unknown) text attached to the filename, so I want to use a wildcard in this command. I got a suggestion to use an unquoted * as a wildcard. But if AAAA is selected, this command: open "file:///path/to/repository/$TM_SELECTED_TEXT"* will open a file in Textmate named AAAA*, which is not what I want: I want AAAA.pdf and AAAA-morestuff.pdf to open. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Darryl [I originally had this question attached as a comment to a TextMate blog entry, where Allen Odegaard posted the * wildcard suggestion, but it didn't work in this context.] -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/A-TextMate-command-to-open-an-arbitrary-PDF-file-tf48… Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Add Line Breaks

by Frank Eves

What is TextMate's equivalent to BBEdit's 'Add Line Breaks' Example: - TextMate Soft Wrap set to 66 characters - How do I Hard Wrap my document at 66 columns? Reformat Paragraph works, if I just want to reformat a few paragraphs, but I'm hoping there is a TextMate command that can be applied to the entire document and that won't reformat lines separated by a single return.

GTDAlt problem: some contexts 'stick' in the Current Actions window

by Bruno

Hi. GTDAlt has acquired an odd behaviour. I don't know why - it may be related to an install of the Safari 3 beta. Regardless, I haven't been able to debug, and would really appreciate any help. I choose 'Current Actions' and get my big list. I click 'none' for contexts, to clear the board and ready to select only one or two contexts. The checkboxes for the contexts ripple off, and the actions disappear -- until we get half-way down, when the actions don't move. Toggling the context checkboxes does nothing. I'm stuck with about half my actions permanently visible. Has anyone else experienced this behaviour? Even better, can anyone help? Like the previous poster, I've grown very attached to GTDAlt, and this is the core piece of functionality. Bruno

Find doesn't find

by Juan Falgueras

I don't understand why Find (regexp) doesn't find the text when using backslashes (it seems) it works when no \ are in the searched text. - Juan Falgueras

Introducing FTP/SSH Bundle

by Bernhard Fuerst

Dear list members, just want to introduce my approach to circumvent the sometimes missing build-in FTP/SSH functionality of TextMate. I created a bundle which provides commands to download and upload single files or files inside of TextMate projects from and to remote hosts. Read on if you are interested: http://fuerstnet.de/ftp-ssh-bundle-textmate I would be glad to get your feedback! Regards, Bernhard

by Jasper van der Meulen

HI, i'm running into a little problem with leopard. The last update finds my "time machine" backups and tries to move / update that one. 11/18/07 10:36:08 PM [0x0-0x2dd2dd].com.macromates.textmate[5399] mv: rename /Volumes/TimeMachine/Backups.backupdb/username/ 2007-08-30-201019/Macintosh HD/Applications/TextMate.app to /Volumes/ TimeMachine/Backups.backupdb/username/2007-08-30-201019/Macintosh HD/ Applications/TextMate.old.app: Operation not permitted Luckily it fails .. but is it an apple issue or is it textmate ? Regards J.

Set temporary variables within macro

by Richard Blumberg

I'm trying to build a complicated macro to add a footnote to text selected in a document. There are two values that I need to maintain while the macro runs, so that those values can be inserted into the proper places within the links that the macro creates. The values are CURRENT_FN_NUMBER, a unique id I create with the shell date command; and CURRENT_FN_TITLE, which is the value of $TM_SELECTED_TEXT when the macro launches. I'd like to us those values to insert code into the document, e.g. At the beginning of the current paragraph: Replace selected text with: #fn{$CURRENT_FN_NUMBER} $CURRENT_FN_TITLE At bottom of document, just before "": #{CURRENT_FN_NUMBER} $CURRENT_FN_TITLE There's more to it than that, but you get the idea. The macro does a lot of jumping around within the document, setting and removing bookmarks as it goes. I've set CURRENT_FN_NUMBER and CURRENT_FN_TITLE as project environmental variables, but I can't figure out how to set values for those variables when the macro executes. I'm (obviously) new at this game; I'd appreciate help. Thanks.
