I'm working on a bundle command (see below) that converts a plain- text document (screenplay) to a PHP file for conversion to PDF via FPDF (http://www.fpdf.org). Everything is working just fine except for two things I just can't figure out--for the record, this code was given to me by Allen for an HTML conversion and I've repurposed it for this. The first problem I'm having is with the very last line of code. The idea is to get safari to open the generated document in Safari and process it as a web-page. Because $DST seems to output the file-path I can't just have it open "http://localhost/example.php", which is what I want. How do I do that? Is it in the manual, 'cause I missed that part. The second question is regarding the 19th line of code: $this->Cell(5.5,.18," XXXX ",0,0,'L',0); I want to know if there is a way to define the "XXXX" bit in the document itself with something like: $header = example How would that be done? Thanks in advance, you guys are really helping make this bundle kick butt. ------------------------------- # first figure out a name for the result NAME="${TM_FILENAME:-untitled}" BASENAME="${NAME%.*}" DST="/Library/WebServer/Documents/$BASENAME" # everything we output within { … } is written to the PHP file via redirection (see line with the }) { # first output PHP header cat <<HEAD <?php require("fpdf/fpdf.php"); class PDF extends FPDF { //Page header function Header() { //Move to the right \$this->Cell(5.5,.18," XXXX ",0,0,'L',0); //Title \$this->Cell(.5,.18,\$this->PageNo(),0,2,'R',0); \$this->ln(.32); } } \$pdf=new PDF("P","in","Letter"); \$pdf->SetMargins(1.5,.5,1); \$pdf->AddPage(); \$pdf->SetFont("Courier","",12); HEAD # then PHP body (converted from document) perl -pe ' s/"/\\"/g; #escape quotes s/\/\/(.*)\/\/|^\/\/(.*)//g; # strip out non-printing comments s/^(\t{4})([^\t].*)$/\$pdf->Cell(2);\$pdf->MultiCell(0,.18,"$2",0,L, 0);/g; #characters s/^(\t{3})([^\t].*)$/\$pdf->Cell(1.5);\$pdf->MultiCell(1.5,.18,"$2", 0,L,0);/g; #parenthetical s/^(\t{2})([^\t].*)$/\$pdf->Cell(1);\$pdf->MultiCell(3.5,.18,"$2", 0,L,0);\$pdf->ln();/g; #dialogue s/(\t{10})([^\t].*:)/\$pdf->Cell(4);\$pdf->MultiCell(2,.18,"$2");\ $pdf->ln();/g; #right-transitions s/^\w+.{2,20}:\s*$/\$pdf->MultiCell(0,.18,"$&",0,L,0);\$pdf->ln();/ g; #left-transitions s/^(\w|\.|\[|\-).*$/\$pdf->MultiCell(0,.18,"$&",0,L,0);\$pdf->ln();/ g; #paragraph ' # and finally PHP footer cat <<'TAIL' $pdf->Output(); ?> TAIL } >"$DST.php" # open the generated PHP file in Safari open -a Safari "$DST.php"

Dear List, One of the most striking things to a new user is that the most important part of the UI for textmate is a button a that is at the _base_ of the window (v. unexpected) and that is the smallest part of the UI. I'm quite sure I would not have realised its significance had I not seen the Screencasts, and I know that people I've recently introduced to Textmate have had the same problem. Is there any way it could be made more obvious? Best, N.

"swallow" key in language definition rule?

by Corey O'Connor

What is the meaning of the "swallow" key for language rules? I searched the archives, wiki and documentation but I couldn't find a good definition. Did I miss something? -- -Corey O'Connor

The "TextMate Must Have integrated ftp/sftp/ssh" discussion

by Eric O'Brien

[There is a question in here... scrub through to the end!] This is very interesting! Clearly, folks have a range of different tasks they need to accomplish and a range of different approaches for doing so. In my case, what I'm currently doing is ridiculously simple compared to what some on the list are doing: I'm just editing a small number of files that make up "a website." I'm editing the files locally... the files are on a hard drive in a box that's right under my desk. But to complicate things, I want to be able to see how these files appear when served from a REAL web server (not just opened from my disk). Plus, I also want to know how they look from a Windows machine. So... I've set up my next oldest computer (a G3) as a "server in my closet." This is my "test" deployment location. Of course, I also want to deploy the files on a (external) "staging" server where my client(s) can check things out. So, at minimum, I have stuff in three places that I (usually) want to be the same. When I started using TextMate, I was concerned about that lack of "ftp/sftp/ssh integration." After I discovered and researched rsync (yes, consider me a newbie as regards The Power of the Command Line) and TextMate bundles, I'm suddenly no longer concerned about whether I can open a file "via ftp" FROM WITHIN TextMate. Or save it back from TextMate "to" the Internet. On Feb 19, 2006, at 10:05 PM, Court K wrote, in part: > <snip> > I mean who actually is editing files that ARE NOT going to end up > on the internet? ... > <snip> As other's have mentioned, this is not *quite* the universal situation... for example, folks editing LaTeX are (I presume) mostly expecting to see the result in print; folks using TextMate to write screen plays are also (again, I presume) thinking in terms other than "web deployment." The files I am editing ARE intended to go directly for the Internet. But still I feel no need for "built-in" ftp/sftp/ssh support in TextMate. In part this is because I'm always working with the same set of files and their location on the net is always the same. And no one else is editing them other than me. So my Question: What are folks doing that makes them want to see built-in ftp/sftp/ ssh support in TextMate? One situation I can imagine is the desire/ need to open many arbitrary files that are located in many arbitrary locations on the Internet. I don't have a good picture of when anyone would be needing to do that though. Are people doing that? For me, the files I want to edit are on my computer. Periodically they need to be uploaded to the net, but my editing sessions don't begin from copies that were on the net. Just Curious! ;) eo

Apple Filing Protocol

by Trevor Harmon

As a follow-up to the discussions about remote file editing, I wanted to throw another idea out there. First of all, I think the ideal solution is to have Mac OS X mount a remote directory in the Finder, and then access that directory from TextMate as if it were on a local volume. (After all, providing file access is the operating system's job; TextMate shouldn't have to implement special support for it.) I mentioned WebDAV before, and for editing files on a web site, it's usually the best solution. Unfortunately, accessing remote files outside of the web server's control is very difficult, sometimes impossible, with WebDAV. For those cases, I've been resorting to NFS, which Mac OS X also supports natively. However, NFS has always been buggy in my experience, at least when accessing it across the Internet. Luckily, Mac users have a third option: the Apple Filing Protocol, or AFP. Although it's becoming obsolete in favor of less proprietary standards, it doesn't suffer from the weaknesses of WebDAV and NFS. Namely, it's not bound to a web server, and it has no trouble mounting remote directories over the Internet. I've been using it to edit remote shell scripts in TextMate with no problems. Setting up AFP is very easy if your host system is Linux and you have admin rights. You simply install the netatalk package [1] and start the AppleTalk daemon. For instance, if you're running Fedora Core: yum install netatalk service atalk start After that, you simply go the Finder, choose Connect To Server, and enter afp://myserver. You can then enter your user name and password to mount your home directory. More info about configuring share points and enabling secure authentication is in the netatalk documentation. Anyway, I just wanted to mention that option for those of you who want remote file access without having to rely on a third-party utility or wait for SFTP support to be built-in to TextMate.

sweet textMate FTP project window goodness!

by thomas Aylott

Howdy y'all. Wooo doggies! I know a lot of people have talked about this in the past, but... If you want to use TextMate through FTP, you can still use a project window with tabs. #1 Open up your FTP add (I've used Cyberduck and Transmit) #2 Open a document from your FTP program into TextMate (cmd-j in the duck) #3 Find the temp folder that your FTP app uses to save the files you're editing (the duck uses /var/tmp/folders.503/TemporaryItems/ on my system) #4 Open that folder in TextMate #5 Close any FTPd files you're currently working on #6 Open a document from your FTP program into TextMate (cmd-j in the duck) Your temp editing FTP files should now pop up as new tabs in textmate. For extra slickness, you can save this project, stick the .tmproj in your dock or something and be ready to go at a moments notice !!!! yee haw!!!! Enjoy ;) (this really shouldn't come as news to anyone, but it was fun to feel like a big know-it-all for a few precious moments) ((back to cruel intellectual mediocrity))

Snippets and Unix fun

by Benjamin Jackson

Hi all, Just put this together and thought I'd share: $TM_SELECTED_TEXT`echo "$TM_SELECTED_TEXT"|ruby -00 -pe "gsub(/([._]|\W)(?: (x)|(y)|(X)|(Y)|(width)|(height)|(w)|(h)|(Width)|(Height))/) { \$1 + (\$2 ? \"y\" : \$3 ? \"x\" : \$4 ? \"Y\" : \$5 ? \"X\" : \$6 ? \"height\" : \$7 ? \"width\" : \$8 ? \"h\" : \$9 ? \"w\" : \$10 ? \"Height\" : \$11 ? \"Width\" : \"\") }"` It will take, for example, something like this: var xMin = (this.trap_mc) ? this.target_mc._x - bounds.xMin : 0; var xMax = (this.trap_mc) ? this.target_mc._x + this.target_mc._width + (this.trap_mc._width - bounds.xMax); And append this afterwards: var yMin = (this.trap_mc) ? this.target_mc._y - bounds.yMin : 0; var yMax = (this.trap_mc) ? this.target_mc._y + this.target_mc._height + (this.trap_mc._height - bounds.yMax); This is something I do by hand like, maybe 10 or 20 times in a coding session. Anyone else have some useful additions (or a more elegant regexp)? ;) - Ben ___________________ Ben Jackson Diretor de Desenvolvimento ben(a)incomumdesign.com http://www.incomumdesign.com

transform html compact?

by Quinn Comendant

Anybody know any commands in Textmate that can remove all extraneous whitespace from a HTML document like BBEdit's Formatting->Compact function? I checked the tidy documentation but couldn't find anything. Strange, I thought Tidy would have that one. Quinn
