Hi, Is there any way to replace tool tip output with Growl[1] for the svn bundle? Tool tips are the only "non-sticky" output, but they are so non- sticky that I sometimes cant read them at all. If the cursor is not at the right place (99% of the time as I use a tablet pen), this is a real nightmare. I can't find a way to catch the output of the command, if I could I'd send it to Growl thru growlnotify (Shell) or Ruby-Growl. So my questions are: 1) How can I catch the output of svn commands? 2) More generally, wouldn't it be nice to add Growl to the output options? What do you think Allan? For those who don't know it: Growl is a central notification system for Mac OS X. It's free and released under BSD license. What is nice is that you can configure how notifications will look, if they are sticky, etc. per applications. Applications can access it through Cocoa and Carbon API or Applescript, Ruby, Perl, Java, TCL, Python, Shell, etc. Here are some scrennshots[2] and the huge list of apps using Growl[3] [1]: http://growl.info/ [2]: http://growl.info/screenshots.php [3]: http://growl.info/applications.php -- FredB

State of autocompletion in Textmate

by Ruben Bakker

I'm interested how it would be possible to create an autocompletion plugin/bundle for Textmate and ruby. I realize there is ESC, but I would like to open a menu with say CTRL-SPACE and then see all the possible completions based on the entered characters. Then when I continue typing in the editor, the menu adjusts it's contents to show only the matching entries. The user can navigate the menu and choose an entry to be inserted in the editor. Like auto completion in eclipse, Visual Studio or XCode. I found this article: http://macromates.com/blog/archives/2005/06/09/code-sense/ and wonder what the actual state of code sense is in Textmate. Is it possible to create a Plugin/Bundle that controls an auto completion menu? Ruben

I am new to TextMate. I have a bunch of lines and I am trying to sort them. I select them and use the Actions popup and choose Sort from the menu choices under Text, the text to be sorted disappears. I tried to run the Sort command through the Filter through command and got the same result. Empty document.

Extra indentation in Markdown mode

by Dr. Drang

I take class notes on my laptop in Markdown and organize them in a locally-hosted blog. Last week was the first week I used TextMate instead of BBEdit for this, and I was occassionaly getting an extra level of indentation while typing in code blocks. For example, in one section of my notes I typed this: | #include<vector> | | vector<int> v; // vector of zero elements | vector<int> v(250); // vector of 250 elements, initialized to zero | vector<time24> t(10); // 10 elements, all set to 00:00 Each line is indented by four spaces (the pipe characters are meant to represent the left margin), which Markdown will wrap in <pre> and <code> tags. I have TM (version 1.5 [906]) set to use soft tabs of 2 characters each. I found that hitting the Return key after each of these lines (other than the blank one) would put the cursor on the next line with an indentation of 6 spaces instead of 4. This may be a red herring, but the extra indentation seemed to occur only after lines that had an angle-bracked pair, like <xxx>, in them. So in this excerpt | #include<iostream> | #include<vector> | #include "d_random.h" | using namespace std; the extra indentation occurred after the first two lines, but not after the second two. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? -- Dr. Drang

tm & symfony

by David Clark

Hi all, I have come across an interesting conundrum that I wonder if anyone else has dealt with. (it goes without saying that I am now a tm fanatic and don't know how I lived without it). I am starting to work with Symforny -- a php5 framework. I have a tm project for my sf project, but have discovered that the existence of the ._files is interfering with the execution of the symfony command (ie it sees ._schema..xml as "empty" and does not use the correct schema.xml file). I found 19.4 in the manual, and I want to know if that is my only option -- I would rather not sacrifice metadata. Thanks, -- dc ----- David Clark Web Specialist Institute for Community Inclusion (http://www.communityinclusion.org/) david.clark(a)umb.edu (617) 287-4318

mate link creation error

by Brian Caldwell

Hi - Using TM v.1.5 (906), I selected Terminal Usage... from the Help menu. I got a message window titled "Enhanced Terminal Usage" which explained about the shell command "mate" and asked where to create a symlink. I left the default location as /usr/bin and clicked then "Create Link" button. The standard admin user authentication box pops up, I enter the secret password. Then I get a error message box that says: Couldn't Create Link Creating the link "/usr/bin/mate" failed with the following reason: Operation not permitted Hmmm. I check to see if mate is in /bin. Nope. Okay let's check /usr/ bin. Ahh a symlink but not a valid one. The link is /Users/aurora/ Desktop/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/mate. The correct link should be /Users/aurora/Desktop/TextMate/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/mate. Which in turn is a symlink to ../SharedSupport/Support/bin/mate where it truly is. So, I deleted the bad symlink at /usr/bin and recreated it properly. After a rehash, where mate shows it at /usr/bin/mate. And mate -h returns help as it should. Conclusion: whatever process or command within Textmate that created the original (bad) symlink in /usr/bin needs to get tweaked to add the TextMate bundle (Textmate) into the source file name. The Textmate app name (TextMate.app) is fine, but both are needed. Hope this helps, Brian Caldwell

Crash with \n in symbol transform

by Gavin Kistner

A very minor issue, but if I use the symbol transform to place a \n in the output for the symbol, TextMate insta-quits when I load up a file using that language. The specific example that crashes for me: { showInSymbolList = 1; symbolTransformation = ' s/([a-zA-Z_.:]+)[.:]([a-zA-Z_]\w*)/$1\n $2/g '; } Like I say, very, very minor - I would have been surprised if the symbol had actually displayed on multiple lines.

Code folding suggestion/bug report/feature request

by Daniel Svoboda

Hello, I just have one suggestion for your otherwise beautiful text editing. Can you please make code folding to display also an end tag of the block. Now when the code is folded I can see "if {..." but the end tag is not visible. I think it should display even the terminating "}", like "if {...}" or "<hr>...</hr>". Not seeing the terminating tag makes the document with folded code simply unreadable, especially if the document is big and there is lots of code folded. I am always searching for where the end of my block was gone. Maybe it is only me, but I found it very confusing. Can you please fix/adapt it? And if it's only me, it would be nice to have preferences for it, only for me :) Thanks, Daniel

showInSymbolList not working

by Gavin Kistner

I'm trying to play with symbol list definitions, and things aren't working for me. I've created a language to play with: { scopeName = 'source.gk'; fileTypes = ( 'gk' ); patterns = ( { name = 'heading'; match = '^((=+) (.+) \2)\s*$'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'heading.gk'; }; 2 = { name = 'heading.depth'; }; 3 = { name = 'heading.title'; }; }; }, ); } And a source file that matches it: = Heading 1 = == Heading 1.1 == It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine. * And this * Is wh a...z t I mean ...and there we go == Heading 1.2 == = Heading 2 = Using colorings in my own Theme, I can tell that the scope "source.gk heading.gk" is being applied to the headings. Now I want them to show up in the symbol list. I've created a new Preferences part in the bundle: /* preferences */ { showInSymbolList = 1; } and set the scope for that Preference to "source.gk heading.gk". Unfortunately, nothing shows up in the Symbol list. If I quit and restart TextMate, the contents of the Preference are unchanged. (I noticed that if I put bad syntax into this preference and quit/restart, the change doesn't stick. It would be nice if there was a better way to "Test" if the preference is valid or not.) I'm using Version 1.5 (906) under MacOS X 10.4.5. I can send a full dump from System Profiler if the above does not explain why symbols aren't working for me.

Errors running Ruby in Textmate

by Jonathan Waddilove

I have started making use of the 'Run Script' feature for ruby files I'm editing.

Thanks to both Haris and Timothy for replying so quickly to this....I guess not having multiline matching in the syntax explains it...thought I was going nuts! The workaround as suggested by both was to preprocess the sequence files (iterating over the entries using simple BioPerl - I'm pulling the data on the fly from a RDMS anyway) and add a tab to the end of each FASTA record...this tab is both invisible and unique to the end of each entry and everything collapses as I want... BTW, not only is TextMate amazing for programming/markup etc, it is also awesome for bioinformatics analysis...I use v. large genome datasets (flat file and RDMS) with scripting the primary mechanism of retrieving/analyzing the data...I used to use NEdit but have ported everything over to TextMate...using column selection, I can push fields (like sets of gene names) as input to perl/shell scripts that query the db and return the data formatted and highlighted...am finding new stuff to do with it every day...

problems with regex

by tandemrepeat

Hi, This is not a TextMate problem...rather a user issue but would appreciate any advice... I'm trying to set up folding...the file format look like this (FASTA DNA sequence format) - >text agagagtttttttttt...(typically 60chars) ...multiple lines of above, number of lines varies per record >text2 agagagtcgtttta . . . Setting foldingStartMarker is easy i.e; (^>) but it's foldingStopMarker whcih is proving to be tricky. As I see it, need to match the last line immediately before a new entry denoted by ^> . I figure a look-ahead assertion regex is required...something like - [AGTCagtc]+ # match any string of ACGT (?=\n^>) # positive look ahead for new line followed by > But can't get this or numerous minor variants to work at all... Any insight greatly appreciated (and apologies if this is an inappropriate post for the forum)

Suggestion - Function popup

by Charles Laine

First of all, I love TextMate. It's worth the price of a Mac just to have such an awesome editor at one's disposal. With that said, I have a feature request. ;-) It would be nice if the function dropdown could be relocated to the top of the window. CodeWarrior had its function dropdown up at the top. BBEdit has it up there and XCode has it up at the top too. It's more familiar to have it at the top. Second, and more importantly to me, having it at the bottom often causes me to overshoot with my mouse and end up in dock territory. If you have dock magnification turned on, then you know what happens next. It would be nice to have a configurable layout so that the UI widgets could be tailored to one's individual preferences.

Crash on changing file-type

Hi there, I'm posting here because I don't know if this has to be classified as a bug and/or if someone has a possible solution for me.... Whenever I'm pressing the "filetype" switchbar at the bottom of the screen, TM crashes. The weird part is, it worked allright before. I tried switching to another local user. Textmate didn't crash while at the other users account. I thought it had something todo with the usersettings, so I tried deleting the com.macromates.textmate.plist file from the ~/Preferences folder. To no avail. Does anyone know what i could try next to get things running smoothly again ? Thanks in advance, Max -- http://DLmax.org

Automated way to keep SVN repository in sync with local files?

by Sean Schertell

This might be a dumb question, but is there ANY elegant solution for keeping my Subversion repository in sync with my local files *including* adding files, deleting files, renaming files? I'm really trying to get religious about keeping all my projects under version control, but I find it such a pain in the arse to have to remember to do svn add, svn delete, svn rename whenever I decide to reorganize my project files. In every project I do, I always get to a point about halfway in where I say -- okay, this is messy -- let's combine these files, delete this one, and rename these more descriptively. Then my SVN repository gets all out of whack and refuses to let me make anymore commits, and that's the end of version control for that project. Happens every time. Ideally: It would be so nice if I could sync my TM project to my SVN repository directly. If I rename something in the drawer, it gets renamed in the repository too. Delete files? Add files? Same thing. Is there some way to do this already? If not, how do you guys handle this issue? And if not, any chance of adding this functionality in a future release? Could a bundle be created to do this? Sean :::: DataFly.Net :::: Complete Web Services http://www.datafly.net

TODO List

by Soryu

Hi, in an attempt to do some ruby I have revamped the TODO list command again, completely. It's now written in Ruby using ERB with a template. • It removes a bug from the older TODO comment which would descend into subdirectories for non-project files. So if you had a file in / and invoked the TODO command it would scan your complete Volume. • It sorts according to TODO/FIXME/CHANGED categories • and numbers the items, so you see how much work there is still todo :) Soryu.

Best way to implement vim-like block comments?

by Corey O'Connor

One thing I liked about vim was the continuation of the "*" down the same column for each line in a block comment. So something entered like: (* Hello! Blah would be formated to: (* Hello! * Blah I implemented this in the O'Caml language by changing the block comment language rule to: { name = 'comment.block.ocaml'; begin = '$(\*.*)$?$'; end = '\*\)'; beginCaptures = { 1 = { name = 'comment.block.ocaml.begin'; }; }; }, And adding two snippets for the return key: One for the scope comment.block.ocaml.begin that would return, space in, and add a "* ". One for comment.block.ocaml that would only return and add a "* ". Xefore I charge off and add this for C, is this the best way to implement this feature? Or am I missing an easier way? I've attached the two snippets and language syntax for O'Caml if anybody would like to try ti. -- -Corey O'Connor

bundle command

by Oliver Taylor

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"

UI

by Nicholas Cole

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.

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

LaTeX "" for German users

by Tukaram

Dear TextMate Users, I use TextMate to deal with LaTeX documents. To create the German format for quotations i have to write "`foo bar "' (you have to move your nose very close to the monitor to see the 2nd character after the " character). If I type the first " character a 2nd one appears. That's fine. Then I type the the ` character. It will be completed with an ' char. The results looks like "`'" . This is not what I want. I would like to type the first " and want to get an "`'". What can I do? Regards Tukaram

Solution for XCode>Run with multiple targets ?

by Benoit Gagnon

Is there a workaround for this issue ? The XCode Bundle will not find the active target on its own and complains with a huge tooltip, basically dumping the entire hash of possibilities. Am I restricted to projects with a single target ? thanks Ben

why enhanced TODO in Rails.bundle?

Uncommenting shell script lines

by Trevor Harmon

I often use Comment Line (Command-/) to add and remove comments. I noticed that if I have a shell script snippet like this: # Comment then Comment Line removes the comment. But if the snippet looks like this: #Comment then Comment Line adds yet another comment ("# #Comment"). Is this a bug? I checked the Ruby code for the command in the Bundle Editor but I didn't see anything wrong. Trevor

Intelligent Migration Snippets

by Sami Samhuri

Here are 3 macros, 3 commands, and a small Ruby program that take the DRY principle to another level while writing Rails migrations. These snippets for creating a table, adding a column, and renaming a column will add the opposite actions into self.down for you. I made a 30 second demo video so you can see them in action. You'll find all this on my blog. The address is in my signature. Hope some of you find this useful. -- Sami Samhuri http://sami.samhuri.net

Remembering drawer side

by Steven Wittens

I really like the project drawer and I always keep it on the left-hand side. This is not a problem as long as I use a single window: textmate opens it up in the same location as when I last closed it. But if I open up another window (with a drawer), it is always opened with the drawer on the right hand side. It's really annoying, because (as far as I can tell) the only way to switch drawer sides is to move the window to the right screen edge and then toggle it off and back on again. This wastes quite a lot of time. Is there a way to force left side drawers? Steven Wittens

Re: [TxMt] regex question

by Oliver Taylor

> #!/usr/bin/perl > local $/; # put Perl in "slurp" mode > $text = <>; # read in the whole file > $text =~ s/^([A-Z ]+)\n($.+$)\n(.+)$/\n\n\t\t\t\t$1\n\t\t\t$2 > \n\n$3/mg; > print $text; Of all the solutions proposed here, this once seemed to work the best. Thanks for the tip about processing the entire document in one go. I ended up with the following: #!/usr/bin/perl local $/; # put Perl in "slurp" mode $text = <>; # read in the whole file $text =~ s/(\s+)$//mg; $text =~ s/((INT.|EXT.|I\/E.|int.|ext.|i\/e.)\s.*)$/\*\*\*$1/mg; $text =~ s/^([A-Z].*[A-Z \)])\n^($.*$)$\n(.+)$/\n\t\t\t\t$1\n\t\t\t $2\n\t\t$3\n/mg; $text =~ s/^[A-Z]{2,}.*[A-Z\)\d]$\n^(.*)$/\n\t\t\t\t$1\n\t\t$2\n/; $text =~ s/^\*\*\*//mg; $text =~ s/^(.*(IN:|UP:|TO:))$/\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$1\n/; $text =~ s/^(\w+.*(\.|\?|\!|\"|\-))$\n^\w+.*(\.|\?|\!|\"|\-)$/\n$1/mg; print $text; ...but it doesn't work at all. I'm guessing that it's something obvious that I can't see, but in case it's not an explanation of what I'm trying to do follows. 1. removes trailing whitespace at the end of a string (which is common in the format I'm importing from. 2. appends three *'s to the beginning of what I'll call well-formed sluglines so that step 4 doesn't apply to these are well. 3. finds a specific set of lines, a Character followed by Parenthetical, followed by Dialoge. And formats it. 4. finds Character followed by Dialogue when there is no Parenthetical, and formats it. 5. repairs the sluglines that were changed in step 2. 6. formats transitions. 7. formats regular paragraphs (this is a little funky, but it's my fault). I can do all these in the Find&Replace window, but I get nothing when running this bundle command. You can find a sample document to test the script on here: http:// ollieman.net/files/bundles/braveheart-sample-unformatted.txt And you can find what the result should look like here: http:// ollieman.net/files/bundles/braveheart-sample-formatted.txt Thanks again for all the help. This will allow we to switch full-time from Final Draft to TextMate. Something I'm really looking forward to.

Re: RFC: Command Output Options (was: Combining snippets and commands?)

by Benjamin Jackson

> this would not allow for commands that take the whole document as > input and the current selection as output, and autocompletion > thingies wouldn't work _that_ good, so considering this I'm on +1 for > allan's proposal. I think some minor changes to the wording of Allan's solution might make it more readable. What about: Output: [ Discard ] [ Text ] and [ pop-up ] [ Snippet ] and [ pop-up ] [ HTML ] [ Tool Tip ] [ New Document ] And then the pop-up showing for the Text and Snippet output options have the folowing options: and [ Replace Input ] [ Replace Selection ] [ Replace Document ] [ Insert After Caret ] This version uses more [action verbs][1], which makes it read more logically. > by the way, I'd like an option to show the output as a popup menu (or > something like that): this would perfectly suit autocompletion. think > about it, al. I'll second that. Nice ideas, Allan!

Pdfsync or tiger ability ?

by Alain Matthes

hello:) TeXShop can provide synchronization in two ways. "pdfsearch" : The default method uses a new ability in Mac OSX 10.4 to search for strings in pdf files. No special style files need be included to use this method. "pdfsync" is the original method but needs to add the following line to the preamble of your tex source code before the \begin{document} line: \usepackage{pdfsync}. Is it to possible to use in the future, the first method "pdfsearch" with Textmate Thanks Alain
