by Alan Schussman

Hi all (Brad especially, I guess) - Now that Textpattern has new xml-rpc support (http://textpattern.com/ download-rpc), I thought I'd give it a try with the blogging bundle. When I specify my XMLRPC URL (mydomain.com/rpc/) and run the "fetch post" command, I get the following error after entering my password: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:543:in `do_rpc': Wrong content-type (RuntimeError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:409:in `call2' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:399:in `call' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Blogging.tmbundle/ Support/lib/metaweblog.rb:28:in `getRecentPosts' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Blogging.tmbundle/ Support/lib/blogging.rb:498:in `fetch' from /tmp/temp_textmate.7ihCLB:3 Any ideas? Have I perhaps failed to configure something properly? It (the xmlrpc support) does seem to work with MarsEdit. -Alan

Diff top two windows?

by Quinn Comendant

Anybody yet to make a Diff bundle command that compares the top two windows? It's a drag to make a new project and drop two files in, especially since often my windows are unsaved documents. I tried but failed ... my AppleScript know-how dunno how. I couldn't figure out how to get the contents of the top two windows. Can anybody do that? Tnx, Q

some improvements to JavaDoc patterns

by Domenico Carbotta

the new begin and end patterns allow me to highlight the background (I do it in my Blackboard color theme) the new patterns are... well, you know what they do. the link pattern is pretty raw, feel free to improve it. merge and commit, I'm away from my main puter so here I've got a silly read-only working copy. { name = 'comment.documentation.java'; begin = '(^\s*)?/\*\*'; end = '\*/(\s*\n)?'; patterns = ( { match = '\*\s*(@(param|throws))\s*([a-z]\w+)\s*'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.other.documentation.params.java'; }; 3 = { name = 'keyword.other.documentation.value.java'; }; }; }, { name = 'keyword.other.documentation.link.java'; match = '{@link\s+\S*\s+(\S*)}'; }, { match = '\*\s*(@[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\s*'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.embedded- docs.params.java'; }; }; }, ); },

Xcode.tmbundle patch

by Kimon Tsinteris

Currently, you can successfully use TextMate to build an Xcode target into a user defined build directory (via user.pbxuser), but you cannot run the resulting executable. I'd like to propose the following change to the Xcode bundle: if a SYMROOT is defined in userBuildSettings use that as the directory instead. Thanks, Kimon PS I know not Ruby, please modify as needed

Ruby grammar omission

by Rob Rix

Hey all, I just noticed an omission in the Ruby grammar. I checked the Ruby grammar's comments to see if there was any mention of this, but I didn't see anything; perhaps I just missed it. In any case: def show#{suffix} @#{singular_name} = #{class_name}.find(params[:id]) render#{suffix}_scaffold end (This example is from the Rails source, in action_controller's scaffolding support.) All of those #'s become comments; not one of them actually is. I'm bringing this up partly for posterity (I'm anal-retentive and would deeply love the Ruby grammar to be perfect (: ) but mostly because I'd like to use this syntax mechanism without TextMate making it look like it's not actually code... (: I'm gonna take a look at it, but if anybody else has a quick fix before I commit anything, they're welcome to it. Rob

"Find in Project" within a macro

by Dave Baldwin

I was frequently selecting a word and finding it in the project so I thought I would automate the 3 command sequence (control w, command e and command shift f, return) by using a macro. Unfortunately the find in project part is not recorded within the start/stop macro. I guess this is because it brings up a dialogue box? Any way around this or maybe I have overlooked some built in command that does this? Dave.

HTML bundle suggestion - style

by porneL

"style" snippet unneccessarily adds CDATA block. CDATA is only needed for content that uses "<" and "&" very often, but these characters aren't used in CSS syntax at all. They might occur sometimes in URLs and string constants, but parametrized images and generated content are used rarely enough that CDATA can be dropped from snippet. -- regards, porneL

man pages in TextMate

by Peter Cowan

I notice that for certain commands the 'Documentation for word / Selection (man)' is unable to find the man page for some commands while typing 'man foo' seems to work. For example 'asr' returns the man page formatted quite nicely in the html window. However on my system (MacBook Pro, running 10.4.6 w/dev tools, and cutting edge TextMate) the documentation for hdiutil and rsync couldn't be found. Do I need to modify my shell configuration? or the command in someway? My apologies if this has been discussed before, briefly searching the list didn't seem to turn anything up. Thanks Peter

Obj-C format method signature not working

by Graham Ashton

Hi. I've just started playing with Objective C and (obviously!) want to use TextMate to edit my code. I saw the rather cool demo in Allan's 2nd Obj-C screencast [1] of how to reformat a method signature, but it didn't work for me. I tried it with the following example: + (id)dateWithString:(NSString *)description calendarFormat:(NSString *)format locale:(NSDictionary *)locale { } and found that the results came out like this (having removed everything in the file prior to the method definition): + (id)dateWithString:(NSString *)description calendarFormat:(NSString *)format locale:(NSDictionary *)locale Do I need a specific version of the TextMate, the Objective-C bundle, or some other supporting files to make this work? I'm running build 948 of TM, and have just upped by Objective-C bundle this evening (the one shipped with 948 didn't define the format method signature command). Cheers, Graham [1] http://macromates.com/screencast/objective_c_part_2.mov

TextMate position files and command line tools question

by Chris Poirier

Hi Sylvain, Eric, Thanks for your replies. The ._ files are the resource fork, as you pointed out, which is why "find" and other commands can't see them. The 10.4 "tar" command includes them automatically, and doesn't seem to provide a way to turn them off. :-( Fortunately, "rsync" does, so I solved my particular problem by doing an "rsync" of the project to /tmp and then tarred it up there. Thanks again for the pointers. Regards, Chris.

TextMate position files and command line tools question

by Chris Poirier

Hi all, When I "tar" up a TextMate project directory, I get a ._<filename> file for each file I've opened in TextMate. I've had a look at one of these files on another system, and it appears to contain TextMate's last caret position information for the related file. The problem is that I can't seem to exclude these files from the tarchive using the --exclude or --exclude-from parameters to "tar". Further, if I try to use "find" to generate a list of the ._ files, the ._ files are never in the list. Similarly, they don't show up in the output of "ls", and can't be deleted with "rm". Has anyone been able to successfully exclude these files from "tar"? Is there any way to delete them? Thanks, Chris.

Problem with drag command and JavaScript file

by a!e muñoz

Hi there, I'm trying to create a drag command on the HTML bundle to have TextMate insert a <script src="..." /> snippet whenever I drag a .js file on a HTML file. I've duplicated the "Insert CSS" snippet but whenever I try to change the File Types to 'js' the text field clears itself... Any ideas what may be happening? Is the drag command stuff borked? It seems to fail only with .js files (I have a drag command I created some time ago for .as files and it works perfect...) I'm using TextMate 1.5.1 1031 on 10.4.6 PPC Thanks in advance... a!e

How to deal with duplicate tab names?

by porneL

I've got many projects which have lots of files with same names, like index.php in every directory or sets of files like class/foo, template/foo, data/foo, etc. This often leads to having many tabs with same name and makes switching difficult. Are there solutions to this problem? Other than ⌘T, which requires typing? Ideally I'd like to have parent directory name on tab ("foo/index.php" or apple-style "index.php--foo"). -- regards, porneL

lang grammar regex and complex language constructs

by marios buttner

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, In my attempt to shoehorn together a Lang Grammar for Textpattern from scratch ( "scopeName = source.txp" , and NOT "text.html.txp" ) I ran into a couple of problems. I also took a peek at how it's done in the MT Bundle, but I decided, it's best to start from scratch. Note.:I'm not a programmer, just a beginner of TM, usually as I understood, this should then go into the developer mailing list, but since I am not a developer, I decided then to post first here. I'll summarize my observations and obstacles below: 1) grammar Scope consideration Textpattern's syntax is very similar to Html, there is single tags (self enclosing ) and container tags. However, the total code blocks, used in forms and pages can get rather complex, since in many cases you can have funny nested language constructs that can not be matched with any of the present grammars regex constructs. EXAMPLE.: <li <txp:zem_nth step=1 of=2>class="odd</txp:zem_nth><txp:zem_nth step=1 > ><txp:if_article_list>activea</txp:if_article_list> </txp:zem_nth> <txp:zem_nth step=1 of=2>"</txp:zem_nth>><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li> (Note.:Note the second bracket after the zem_nth closing tag, the code sample for Txp form above will parse a perfectly valid XHTML, once the request is returned from the Server) You can see the pref snippet that I used to test the above below.: Sample.: { name = 'keyword.control.txp'; match = '(["|\s]?<txp:.+\s/>["|\s]?|["|\s]*?<txp:.+>["|\s]*?|["|\s]?</txp:.+>["|\s]?)'; }, (works, but not with the complex constructs, like mentioned above.) Problem.: Some of these instances make it difficult to construct the regular expressions. Possible Solution.: Could be excluded with negates whenever occurs (That would be rather hackyish and not elegant) 2) Furthermore the reason, why I opted for a "source txp.scope" rather then the other easier and integrable solution and attempt everything from scratch, is that there is not a real hierarchy between html and txp forms and pages, so I thought it would be more expandable and extensible in that way. Question: Is that so ? Or am I terribly wrong ? 3)Question: Is the p.list format going to change to a xml format for the Language grammars. ? 4) I made two variants of a preliminary bundle for the Grammar, would it make sense to submit those to repository, once they reach an acceptable stage ? 5) I'm a little perplexed with the Theme Editor, and in particular the context of Theme names, Theme Scope names and the corresponding scope selectors in the Language Grammar and prefs. For Instance, for the above p.list value/pair keyword.control.txp, I did not have a blank element of keyword control in the list. I thought at first, that (after reading the manual ) I should have a blank keyword control element (in the Fonts and colors pane ) and then , for my above purpose, I create a keyword.control.txp scope selector, that I style for the above purpose, but that doesn't appear to seem so. Is it correct to suspect that the element names themselves are irrelevant for the inner functioning of the language grammar ? I hope that this was not too long and thank you in advance for reading this and possibly have an answer to my questions. So for I am pretty much amazed with the editor. regards, marios - -- marios at CSSDelyrium requests http://www.consking.com/contact ________________ __ _ / ___/ __/ __/ _ \___ / /_ ______(_)_ ____ _ / /___\ \_\ \/ // / -_) / // / __/ / // / ' \ \___/___/___/____/\__/_/\_, /_/ /_/\_,_/_/_/_/ /___/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: This might change in the future Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEb5b18tSzPOYuZvQRAiZQAKCwWFXNOAKxOT5tWGfLlbYaIQV/WgCffa8u esaTuzI4S4IbS7pS1oP/d/c= =Yz4x -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

plist syntax for new language grammar

by marios buttner

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, For a new language Grammar I have set up a couple of test bundles that try different variations of a grammar style, so I stumbled over some 'cases' where an actual name rule at the pattern root level of the syntax would not be recognized at all. EXAMPLE.: { name = 'entity.tag.plugin.single.textpattern'; match = '<txp:[a-z]{3}(_([a-z0-9]{1,15}))(_([a-z0-9]{1,15}))?\s{,4}(\w{1,45}="\w{,15}"\s{,8}){,7}/>'; }, Basically I want to use the above rule to isolate any single self enclosing language plugin tags tags from regular txp language tags and give it a scope. It doesn't work, I tested the above reg ex with find/replace and it does what I want, but it doesn't work inside the Language grammar. For the rest of the tags, I use the usual word boundaries rules with a piped group of tag names, as in html. So I suspected, that something like that is not allowed maybe.(Onigoruma ?) NOTE.: I didn't use any back references there,just to simplify the case What am I doing wrong?I'm using cutting edge with all bundles installed. Are there any limitations, about regexes in a Language syntax at all, that I don't know about ? regards, marios -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: This might change in the future Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEecTQ8tSzPOYuZvQRAvFfAKC0GqIf+7jSwwA/QSxJ4s855PFe2QCeLyXQ ZFDWslm9wtXRuIKriJZZa/E= =VGAC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

smart Latex typesetting

by Christoph Biela

Hi everybody, do not get me wrong about this post, but I was wondering if someone could help me writing this TMscript. Or maybe it is honest to say write this script. The idea is the following: - I have a big LaTeX project, so I divided the report in several documents. - Let's say: - master.tex - part1.tex - part2.tex - Basically master.tex includes all following documents, so in case I would typeset the master.tex file I would get the whole document. - There is a TM-function which allows me to set the master file in my project, so that typesetting any file (for example part1.tex) actually typesets the master.tex file. - But this takes time so it would be nicer to typeset just the file I am working on right now. - My Idea is: 1) change the first line of part1.tex (and or part2.tex) to %% TM_LATEX_COMMAND%% Head include %% 2) add a line in the master.tex somewhere after \begin{document} : %% TM_LATEX_COMMAND%% Head %% 3) when typesetting the script looks for the line (see (2)). 4a) if there is no "%%TM_LATEX_COMMAND%%Head%%" it will go on like it does right now 4b) if there is the line "%%TM_LATEX_COMMAND%%Head%%" then I takes the lines before " %%TM_LATEX_COMMAND%% Head %% " and puts them on top of the typsetted file. It also adds an \end{document} and then typesets all. - what I do not know is how pdfsync works then, but since I do not know how to write this little script I could not try out. It would be great if someone could help me or send the website where this is already posted. However, I would also appreciate some helpful comments on how to write the script by myself.

smart Latex typesetting

by Max Lein

TeXShop has a neat solution for this: it lets you set a master document manually (which is no big deal for larger projects). This way, if you hit LaTeX in any of the documents, the master documents gets LaTeXed. This should be a piece of cake to add to TextMate … although I still use TeXShop to compile and check my LaTeX documents. Max

Performance issues

My intervention on the topic was initially motivated by the fact that Chris mentioned the same (stupid) problem on a 3.7MB XML file: > The big mistake was to try and do a Find/Replace of all ">" with "> > \n". > Whoah. It's been using all the CPU and beachballing for over 30 > minutes now, > with no obvious way to interrupt it... From my point of view, the problem of Chris was including two independant matters: 1. slow global replacement; 2. global reparsing. I was surprised that your reply to him (well, the kind one) focused almost only on parser considerations. It was not perfectly clear for me that your promise of future improvements on "half a dozen other things which do affect the performance" included the one I care about. So, I thought it was necessary to insulate the first problem, with which I have to deal on a daily basis: global replacement on plain text. Obviously, I knew it had "nothing to do with the language parser": it was precisely my point... Then, Paul came with a great solution to this very problem: filter the document through a magic perl command. Since them, I am happy, and I guess TextWrangler will not encuber my dock for a long time now. But his reply makes a second (probably stupid too) question to pop into my mind: since there is such a performance issue with the builtin global replacement of TextMate, why not just delegate the work to perl, directly from the shiny and so convenient Find window? And if, for some reason, it is not always possible, why not offer this as an option through some cute check box? Concerning the "marketing" considerations of Daniel, I second that. My own experience, as an old BB et al. registered user, is the following: in the past, I have given TextMate at least three (too) short tries. Each time, I thought: "it is not for me, because 1. there is no incremental search; 2. global replacement is too slow". The drawback with TextMate is that its real superiority and its amazing features are not very prominent. This "tact" has several very important advantages too, e.g., the interface is not bloated and the learning curve is so smooth. But I have had to force me to try TextMate during one plain week *before* I finally fall in love with it. BTW, I don't remember if I registered before or after I accidentally discovered it does offer incremental search (the manual is rather allusive on this point). So I think it would be a killer marketing idea to help the switchers to figure out how they can use TextMate as efficiently as their favourite text editor. Apple has made something like that for the Windows users (and we all know that Apple never makes any marketing error ;-). Perharps some dedicated annex in the documentation? Cheers, A.

Mate command broken

by Chad Lung

Originally when I installed Textmate it offered to put in the link for the "mate" command which I chose to do. The mate command worked from terminal until the next day when I fired up my computer and suddenly it stopped working. So I went into the "Help" menu, "Terminal "Usage" option and clicked the "Create Link" button for /opt/local/bin, it gives me an error "Couldn't create link: /opt/local/bin/mate filed ... bad address". If it use any of the other paths I get an error the the operation is not permitted. Not sure what to do. Isn't mate just a symbolic link to the actual textmate.app in applications? Thanks for nay help on this.

The only way this DOESN'T hang TextMate is if I set the Output to "Show as HTML". Ideally, I'd discard it, but that hangs the app. Bizarre.

applescript from textmate (specific case)

by Oliver Taylor

I tried the following command: osascript -e 'tell app "Backdrop" to activate' osascript -e 'tell app "MenuShade" to activate' osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to activate' which causes TextMate to hang because (as Allan told me)... > because you send an event to TM, but TM won't respond as > it is busy executing the command, so the command will stall > (waiting for TM, which waits for the command.) He suggested: > osascript 2>/dev/null & \ > -e 'tell app "Backdrop" to activate' \ > -e 'tell app "MenuShade" to activate' \ > -e 'tell app "TextMate" to activate' Which returns the following error: > /bin/bash: line 2: -e: command not found So I ask you who know more than I, what is the key to unlocking this one?

Performance issues

by Aristide Grange

> Text => Filter through command... > perl -pe 's#~\n#\n#' Dear Paul, Thank you for having explained me how to solve this stupid-but-big problem with search/replace in TextMate! The workaround you suggest works fine and faster than TextWrangler. And, believe it or not, I would not have found it alone: my command-line skills are beyond mediocrity. However, I suspected I missed something... :-) I hope your kind answer will help some other newbies too. Thanks again! A.

"Pristine Copy" and svn bundle checkout

by John Tsombakos

This may have gotten lost in the last thread, but with the new ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles folder, where is the best place to check out the bundles/themes/plugins from http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk ? The directions say to check them out to /Library/Application Support/Textmate, but the release notes (and Allan's previous email), said the place for new bundles is the "Pristine Copy" folder. Is that folder just for bundles? What about the rest of the items that are currently in /Library/Application Support.... ? (now I do: cd /Library/Application Support/Textmate svn up to update. Should I move that TextMate folder into.. um... ?? and svn up there?) Thanks! John

newbie query re viewing and formatting

by textmate＠matthurst.fastmail.fm

I'm checking out Textmate as a screenwriting application, using the screenwriting bundle. It looks great, and fast, and cheap. But I have a couple of questions. Apologies if they're old chestnuts and please point me to archive posts, wiki or whatever if that's where the answer lies. 1. I'm using a 12 inch iBook and the mandatory font for screenwriting (believe me it is mandatory, and using a different one isn't a possibility) is Courier 12pt. However it's uncomfortably small on my screen. Is there anyway of zooming it up a bit, or do I have to just use a larger font size for editing then whack it down again when I print? Not a disaster if that's the only answer, but I'd like to know if there's a way round it. 2. I've imported a Final Draft script from a text file, and the 'dialogue' paragraphs need new formatting applying. From a brief fiddle around, it looks like every paragraph needs changing to the 'style' (not quite sure if this is the right terminology, but I hope you know what I mean), then reformatting - ie ctrl-4 then ctrl-q in the screenplay bundle. I'd *really* like not to have to do this manually. Is there a search-and-replace stylee way of automating it. All help and suggestions welcomed. Matt Hurst

Re: Re: feature-request: encoding per project setting (Max Lein)

by Max Lein

It's not that I have to choose it manually the first time which bothers me, but that TextMate FORGETS the settings sometimes. So files that have been already saved in the correct encoding are misinterpreted by TextMate to use UTF8. Also, the other part of the problem seems to be that TextMate assumes that UTF8 is used when it's not sure which encoding the file uses instead of respecting the settings in the prefs. Max PS This is just a minor, but annoying bug of mine, I'm a big fan of TextMate :-)

Performance issues

by Chris Ridd

Hi, I've been playing with TM 1.5.1 (948) and wanted to see how it handled XML files on my 1.67GHz Powerbook. The file I needed to mess with was a 3.7MB FO file with some long lines (over 10000 characters and some over 100000.) The formatted objects were generated by an XSL processor which didn't care about long lines ;-) Because it had a .fo extension it was opened as Plain Text. Scrolling around would cause a beachball on some of those really long lines. (Soft wrapping was on.) I used the popup to switch to XML. This caused a beachball for about 2 minutes, and subsequent attempts to scroll often beachballed too. Soft wrapping seems to have got turned off by this switch, which is consistent with the line numbers in the margin. The big mistake was to try and do a Find/Replace of all ">" with ">\n". Whoah. It's been using all the CPU and beachballing for over 30 minutes now, with no obvious way to interrupt it... It is a bit distasteful to bring up other products ;-) but TextWrangler did that Find/Replace in about 2 seconds. Going to XML mode in TextWrangler was instantaneous. Are these known problems? I googled for a bit but couldn't find anyone reporting similar things. Is there any chance these might get addressed in the 1.5.x codebase? I want to love TM but currently cannot :-( Cheers, Chris

feature-request: encoding per project setting

by Max Lein

I have posted here before on the topic of encoding issues. I still have problems with TextMate loading files as UTF8, although I have set latin1 as standard encoding in the prefs (I have disabled `use for existing files' though). This is particularly annoying since I have to manually save every file again just to check whether TextMate uses the correct encoding. Thus I would propose to introduce a feature which sets the encoding globally for one project if the user wishes to. Just add a checkbox (one encoding for this project) and the same two options you have in the file save dialog box (encoding and linefeed). If a user still wants to create a file with a different encoding, he can still choose to do so in the file save dialog. This feature would really help speed up my work since I *have to* use latin1 as standard encoding for LaTeX documents (it's what my co- workers use) and UTF8 for the webpages I create. Thanks. Max

MultiMarkdown Footnotes Issue

by Stefan Brantschen

I experience a somewhat strange behavior with footnotes using MultiMarkdown -- in fact, footnotes stopped working all of a sudden. Thus, Text[^fn] [^fn]: Footnote text evokes the error message "Use of uninitialized value in substitution iterator at /Users/sbr/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ Markdown.tmbundle/Support/bin/MultiMarkdown.pl line 1582, <> line 1." MultiMarkdown at line 1582 is handling footnotes, but I cannot figure out what's wrong. As said, this worked before... And yes, I reverted to the version in the svn repository to ensure MultiMarkdown is not contaminated. Did anyone else experience this before? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks and regards - Stefan

ctags (or etags) and TextMate

by Oscar Bonilla

One of the things that still puzzles me about how people use TextMate is how they navigate the source code. I can navigate quite fast on both Emacs and Vim using etags (or ctags). You just basically put the cursor over a function call, and press M-. (or Ctrl-]) and that takes you to the definition of the function. To go back to where you were, you just press M-* (or Ctrl- g) and you're back. I know about the Ctrl-] command in textmate that brings up an HTML list of things to click at, but that is really slow. Besides, I don't know how to go back to were I was. I also know about 'Find in Project' but that is _extremely_ slow (although it seems that if you do a Project Folder it's faster?). At any rate, it still doesn't solve the navigation issue. What I've found is that whenever I'm writing new code, and I know what I'm writing, I can use TextMate and I'm faster on it (due to snippets, context-sensitive commands, etc, etc). But when I'm _reading_ code and trying to understand functions, I'm much, much faster in Emacs or Vim. Maybe I don't know about some better way of finding stuff? How are people in the list navigating codebases? Thanks, -Oscar -- pgp fingerprint: BC64 2E7A CAEF 39E1 9544 80CA F7D5 784D FB46 16C1

Help with indentation rules for IDL

by David Gell

I do a lot of programming in the IDL (Interactive Data Language). It is an interpreted language that is very good for scientific programming and data visualization. I've been using Emacs and the idlwave mode for editing. I'm trying TextMate to avoid the overhead that comes with emacs. At this point I've developed a language grammar that works for styling the text. I'm having trouble, however, with indentation rules. A typical IDL construct looks like if a gt b then begin y = sin(z) endif else begin y = sin(x) endelse or, alternatively, if a gt b then y = sin(z) else y = sin(x) The keyword begin starts an indented block, the keyword end... ends a block. I've tried /* preferences */ { decreaseIndentPattern = '\bend(if|else|for|while|case|repeat)?/b'; increaseIndentPattern = '\b(begin|case|function|pro)\b'; } Which results in indenting: if a gt b then begin y = sin(z) endif else begin y = sin(x) endelse You can probably tell I'm a regular expression neophyte, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regexp assistance

by Geir-Tore Lindsve

Hi, This is more a regexp question rather than TextMate so it is a bit OT, but I'll try anyway since I know that there are som clever regexp heads on this list... I'm trying to figure out a way to parse a string with an expression, so that I can filter out subexpressions to build up a structure of expression objects. An example expression: ((print == MIB) >> (color == Black)); Our expression structure is built up so that everything is an expression with a recursive structure (Expression = expression operator expression): ((print == MIB) >> (color == Black)); (print == MIB) (color == Black) print MIB color Black Additionally, from this list, each variable is also an expression (print, MIB, ...) I guess that some regexp magic would be some great tool here, but I can't seem to figure out the correct approach, and thus need some starter help. Any idea of how to approach this? Programming language shouldn't matter, since it anyway would be some recursive structure to dig down the structure, but for reference I can say that I'm using C#.

HTML and PDF Advice

by Jeffrey Robert Spies

Hi all, I would like my CV available in both HTML and PDF formats. I have a Latex version, but am willing to rewrite it in something like Markdown. In fact, I tried this, but it seems that the MultiMarkdown Bundle's convert to PDF does not produce the correct output (i.e. **word** should be strong, and not italic). I would like to know what other people are doing to deal with this multi-format issue, and how you're using Textmate to do it. Thanks for your time, Jeff.

getting the shiny new GTD bundle

This morning the TextMate RSS feed announced a new GTD bundle, and I did the usual bundle update: cd /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles svn up *.tmbundle The GTD bundle never got installed, however. I checked /Library/ Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ and Bundles (disabled) but it's not there. Even ran "svn up..." again but still no go. Do I need to do something special to get GTD?

Markdown to PDF via Prince REQ

by Robert M. Ullrey

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 With such a great markdown/multimarkdown bundle combination, and now with CSS Preview, I am doing more and more writing/publishing with prince from Textmate. However, I have to use a shell command to run prince. I have tried to hack the screenplay bundles command without much success. What I am trying to write is: 1. convert a multimarkdown (need multi's footnotes) file with declared css file to html (or xml) 2. tell prince to run the file with the css file "prince -s / file/css /tmp/$DST.HTML /tmp/" getting the css file name from the header in the html file so I don't have to tell prince where it is. 3. open the generated /tmp/$DST.PDF il in preview. I can get prince to run, but not glob the css file name. My end product is a PDF of the html source file. Cutie, but not what I want. Thanks in advance for any help, or if others would like to make this.

backup procedure?

by Chris Chapman

Hi all - new to the list, loving TextMate so far. Quick question that I cannot seem to find the answer to. After having customized all my snippets and such, what is the recommended backup procedure, so that I don't someday lose all my customizations? Will backing up the TextMate app suffice? Will I need to write a script to exit the application before backup or is it possible to backup the bundles and all in-place with the app running? [normally I do not backup applications - just necessary prefs and such] Just thought I'd ask. -- Chris Chapman DataSetGo

full-screen mode feature request.

by Francis Dierick

Hi, I don't know if this will be of interest to users of TxtMt but some users like a text editor to be able to go into full-screen mode. E.g. for creative writing purposes I like to be able to focus on the text, and ONLY on the text without the fluff of the OS and other running apps. Some apps built a reputation out of this alone, e.g. Ulysses, Macjournal. Plus it kinda fits with the simplicity we code hackers like. Nothing beats a fresh full-screen Terminal in the morning, but maybe that's just me. Cheers - Francis

But when I write something an then hit "Save", nothing happens. The text doesn't get transfered to the Annote field in BibDesk. Edit in TextMate works fine in Safari, Mail, etc. And if I'm remembering it also used to work with BibDesk. But suddenly it stopped working. Can anybody using Bibdesk as well confirm this behaviour?

Two issues with TextMates and Objective-C

by Greg Miller

I just started using TextMate about a week ago, and so far I love it. But I write a lot of Objective-C and I see two issues that may get annoying fast. I'd love to hear if anyone is aware of a fix or if I'm just overlooking something. Problems: 1) If I write an method implementation that looks like: - (id)performMethodWithLongName:(id)foo and:(id)bar { // ... } The autoindent on the first line of the method body is messed up. I have my editor set to use "Soft Tabs: 2", but I don't end up two spaces from the left margin, rather I end up two spaces after the column where the "and:" method parameter started. It looks like the autoindent spacing is determined by the location of the preceding line, but I'm not sure this will work well with the common spacing patterns used in Objective-C. 2) When I call an Objective-C method, I'd like it to automatically align parameters by the colon. For example, I'd like it to be smart enough to reformat: foo = [someObject foo:bar baz:quux]; into... foo = [obj foo:bar baz:quux]; I figure this one can be done pretty easily w/ a TM command, but I'm more wondering if anyone's already written it. Thanks, Greg

exiting exec in TextMate Command

by Anthony Underwood

I have been trying to combine some tips in the thread on inserting an image url and the thread on using filemerge for svn merge to implement using filemerge using the diff bundle. For this I am using the shell command exec "/path/to/filemerge.app" -left $leftfile -right $rightfile This opens filemerge but does not allow access to TextMate until you quit file merge. Is there a way to allow the exec command to run in the background so that filemerge opens and then allows access to textmate to edit a file. I am also using Alan's code to allow selection of one of the files via a finder dialog box leftfile=$(osascript -e 'tell app "SystemUIServer"' -e activate -e 'return POSIX path of (choose file with prompt "Pick an file:")' -e 'end tell'). This does not allow access to packages such as a .wdgt folder. Is there a way to allow the finder dialog box to access a folder such as this. This would also apply to a .app folder. Many thanks, Anthony

full-screen mode feature request

by Oliver Taylor

I suppose I'd better weigh-in while I still have the chance on the issue of a full-screen mode. To avoid [Tuesday Whipper-Snapping][1], I'll just tell you why fullscreen is important to *me*. I'll leave it up to you to interpolate other uses for fullscreen. An interesting, and relevant, discussion has been going on over at [Subtraction.com][2] where talk is brewing of an app that actually blocks all network traffic while using it. A quote: > what better way to thwart a computer than to step away from > it completely? There's no email to check on a typewriter, > no beeps and pop-up reminders from other applications, and > no access whatsoever to the Internet and its tantalizing > abundance of productivity-killing diversions. > > [...] At some point, it occurred to me that it really > shouldn't be necessary to purchase another piece of hardware > to accomplish the same things that writers look to manual > typewriters for: the ability to focus without distractions. And that's exactly what fullscreen is all about, killing distractions and making you forget that your computer can do anything but process text. "HA!" I can hear so many of you saying, "All you need is some will-power! you don't need fancy tools." Indeed, you don't need fancy tools at all. For goodness sake, the greatest masterworks of writing of the human race were created with nothing more than ink and paper. But I ask you this, what lengths did those people go to to kill distractions? Truman Capote was known to only be able to *really* write away from everyone he knew, away from his own life. Writers often take sabbaticals to other countries to finish their works. Killing distractions is a way of life. I'll say that again, Killing distractions is a way of life. For me, anything that helps me do this is a tool I want to use. [1]: http://inessential.com/?comments=1&postid=3291 [2]: http://www.subtraction.com/archives/2006/0509_blockwriter.php

XSLT question (Context: Markdown)

by Stefan Brantschen

A slightly off-topic question regarding XSLT (I am extending the XHTML-to-LateX template). I have the following XHTML markup: <div class="versionhistory"> <div class="version" v="v1.0" d="2006-05-04" a="SBR">Change description v1.0</div> <div class="version" v="v1.1" d="2006-05-05" a="SBR">Change description v1.1</div> <div class="version" v="v2.0" d="2006-05-06" a="SBR">Change description v2.0</div> </div> and would like to read the value of attribute "d". Now, with something like <xsl:template name="get-version-date"> <xsl:param name="vers" /> <xsl:value-of select="//div[@class='version'][@v=$vers]" /> </xsl:template> I can get easily the value of a specific "version div", such as the string "Change description v1.0". But how do I write the select statement to get "d" of a specific version instead? Or similarly, what is the path to read the attribute "content" of a meta tag such as <meta name="documentclass" content="wtdocument" /> with something like <xsl:template name="get-meta-value"> <xsl:param name="tag-name" /> <xsl:value-of select="/html/head/meta[@name=$tag-name] (*???*)" /> </xsl:template> Thanks for any help! With regards - Stefan

(scope problem) last character - last line in document

by Oliver Taylor

Fist Example: { name = 'meta.line.screenplay'; match = '^(\t{4})([^\t].*)(\s*)'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'whitespace'; }; 2 = { name = 'element.character'; }; 3 = { name = 'element.character.eol'; }; }; }, This works great unless the line I'm working on is the last line of the document, in which case the 3rd capture fails. Which makes a certain amount of sense to me because on the last character of the last line of the document there wouldn't be anything to match, not even a newline. But the following works... { name = 'element.action.screenplay'; match = '^[^\t].*((\.|\-|\?|\:|\;|\,)\s*)'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'element.action.eol'; }; }; }, Which is totally nuts, because it's not all that different than the first example. My question is this: How can I get the 3rd capture of the first example to work when I'm working on the last line of a document?

Odd behavior with "Move Selection Line Up" and "Line Down"

by Michael Henry

All, I recently purchased TextMate and I've been very impressed with it. It was one of the main reasons I just switched to a mac. I've been wondering about the behavior of the Text | Move Selection | Line Up command. It works exactly as I'd expect when text is actually selected, but when you invoke the command with nothing selected, the behavior is a little bit odd. When nothing is selected, invoking either "Line Up" or "Line Down" from the Text | Move Selection menu will move the current line up or down, which is exactly what I'd want it to do. The unexpected behavior is that the cursor doesn't remain on the moved line at the original offset; instead, the cursor ends up at the start of the line immediately below the moved line. This makes it difficult to move a given line more than one line up or down. Could this behavior be changed? For example, in the following five lines of text, imagine the cursor is on the "@" character: first line second line third @line fourth line fifth line With nothing selected, I'd like to press control-command-up twice and end up like this: third @line first line second line fourth line fifth line with the cursor still in the same place on the "@" symbol. With the current implementation, pressing control-command-up twice first exchanges "second line" and "third line", then exchanges them back, leaving my cursor at the start of "third line": first line second line @third line fourth line fifth line I like the way that many features in TextMate operate on the selected text when a selection is active, but fall back to some natural unit of text for the given operation when nothing is selected. To me, the above-described line move operations seem to "line up" with this philosophy. Thanks, Michael Henry

Escape eats my checkin!

by Dave Baldwin

In the subversion bundle I tried to use escape to do word completion while typing the checkin message and this cancelled by checkin without any warning, discarding the long and complicated checkin description I had been working on. Happy I am not. Dave.

Noob: Snippets don't work?

by Bakki Kudva

I have two questions: 1: I must be doing something really stupid but I don't seem to be able to get the Rails snippets to work when I hit tab on an IntelMac. I have read the docs, googled for it and tried to browse the archives but can't figure out what is wrong. THe bundle editor shows that the rails snippets are there. 2: I seem to be running textmate from the folder which comes up when you double-click on the .dmg file. It takes two steps to launch it. Is this the preferred way to install it? TIA, -bakki

Modify PDF Latex output command

How can I create a command that creates the PDF file from Latex without creating any other files (logs etc.). Preferrably this command would also let me choose where to save the output document with the standard saving dialog window.

Setext-style heading for Markdown

by Dr. Drang

Here's quick little command/macro pair for handling Markdown headings using the setext format. I wrote it because I always find myself changing the text of my headings, which means erasing the underline and redoing it so the line of equals or hyphens matches the length of the new heading text. (Yes, I know that Markdown doesn't require the length of the underline to match the length of the heading. That's one of the many niceties John Gruber designed into Markdown. But I'm anal and like my underlines to match.) Start with this command for `<h1>` headings. #!/usr/bin/perl chomp(@lines = <>); $under = "=" x length($lines[0]); print $lines[0] . "\n" . $under . "\n"; unless ($#lines == 0 or $lines[1] =~ /^[-=~]+$/) { print $lines[1] . "\n"; } The input should be **Selected Text** or **Nothing**, and the output should be **Replace Selected Text**. I named it "Heading 1." Now record a macro that prepares the input and runs the command. The idea is to be able to call the macro with the caret anywhere on the line with the heading text. If the heading isn't already underlined it will underline it; if the heading is underlined it will adjust the underline to the new heading length. To make the macro, put the caret on the heading line, start recording and 1. Type **Command-Leftarrow** to move the caret to the beginning of the line. 2. Type **Shift-Downarrow** twice to select the heading line and the line below it. (Don't worry if there is no line below it; the macro will record both keystrokes and the command was written to handle the single-line case.) 4. Invoke the "Heading 1" command to transform the selected text. 5. Type **Rightarrow** to put the caret at the end of the selected text and deselect it. I called this macro "Heading 1" also. For a "Heading 2" macro that inserts a line of hyphens, do exactly the same thing, but change the quoted equals sign in the fourth line of the command to a quoted hyphen. There's a writeup of this on [my blog][1] if you need to see more details. -- Dr. Drang [1]: http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/2006/05/markdown_headings_in_textmate.html

Incorrect filename display in Project Drawer

by Jonathan Mao

Hi I couldn't find a reference to this on the list and wasn't able to login to the bug tracker. Background: I uses a template system where I have an HTML file that serves as a template. When I want to create a new page for the site, I open the file and 'Save As' whatever the new name will be. Problem: I notice that when I save a file (File / Save As), it seems to rename the file that I was working on to the same name as the file I just 'Saved As'. In other words, if I save "page_template.html" as "index.html" in another folder, when I look back at the project drawer, the original file assumes the name of the new file. Interestingly, if I open the old file (which now has the name of the new file), when I command+click on the title bar to see where the file is stored, it thinks it's the new file. If I close and open the project, the file returns to it's original name. Is there something I can do to refresh the project drawer? Has anyone else had this problem? I'm running the Demo version of TextMate 1.5.1 (948) on Mac OS X 10.4.6 on a PowerPC G5 Thanks for listening. Regards Jonathan

Re: [TxMt] primer on markdown & textmate / Rant

I just got two emails from coworkers with both about 5 lines of text in a word document attached to an email. Can someone please explain to me why they did not just enter the damn text into the email? Luckily gmail can display .doc as html, I really don't care about having Word just for crap like this. Why are people so ignorant? Both my coworkers do complain about Word being sucky and complicated and all that -- but you would think they might do something about it. I wish WYSIWYG and Word were never invented, it dumbs people down, just like PowerPoint tends to do… anyone remember the hype against PP -- http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=000111&topic_id=1 There is whole businesses losing their right to exist just because the average pc user thinks he can do it better, as well as people losing their appreciation of quality (as long as they pay for it). How do you re-train your coworkers and surroundings? THAT is why TextMate is so cool. It makes it easy to create text/code, it makes you love the act of writing the content and not fuss with the annoying stuff around it -- but it doesnt force you to create bad code. Maybe people would be dumping Word if they had a good text editor on their hands (*dreaming*). Ah. Need to get coffee. </rant> Dan

Try: sudo /opt/local/bin/port install htmldoc If that doesn't work, the following command will search for port: find / -name port -print Later, Chris. P.S. You'll probably need to add /opt/local/bin to your path, as everything DarwinPorts installed is put there. I think.
