This indeed works but I do think I need to be a bit more specific. Lets look again at the line: ATOM 14 CA GLN A 2 -27.648 -9.581 30.325 1.00 10.00 My goal is to have both the 'ATOM' string and the 'GLN' string colored differently. Using ^(ATOM|HETATM)\b I can color the ATOM part. Using \bGLN\b I can color the GLN part. The problem is that I only want the GLN part to be colored if the line starts with ATOM. In your reply the complete part starting with ATOM up to GLN gets colored. Marc

[actionscript3.tmbundle] grep error inserting into code

by Brenton Simpson

Hey guys, I'm a FlashDevelop user trying to get used to TextMate. I'm trying Simon's code hinting. Consider these examples. I'm triggering a completion with opt-esc at the end of each line: var ball:Sprite; ball.graphics.be // completes to beginFill(color:uint,alpha:Number=1.0); ball.graphics.beginFill(1, // "No property found" // It ought to complete to beginFill(1, alpha:Number=1.0); ball.graphics.beginFill // inserts the following grep error into my file: grep: /Users/brenton/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ ActionScript 3.tmbundle/support/data/completions.txt: No such file or directory (); I've heard great things about TextMate. I'm still yet to find an editor that rivals FlashDevelop on Mac, but I'm hoping to change that. =) Thanks, Brenton

ActionScript 3 firstLineMatch

by Brenton Simpson

I've noticed that in ActionScript 3.tmLanguage from Simon Gregory's AS3 bundle, firstLineMatch is defined to be \bAS3\b. I don't know ANY ActionScript class file that would match that pattern. I believe this is the correct firstLineMatch for AS3: package\s?([\w\.]*)\s?{

Options for real time css develpment

by Scott Haneda

Like it or not, I end up having to detract for writing code, and work with css. I started using Tm for this the other day. Great auto complete in the css markup, that truly is a time saver. I see a lot of people use FireBug to open a css file left side, browser on right, and start seeing in real time their changes. This is probably the best way to do CSS dev IMO, not refreshing a page and seeing it happen in real time is a real time saver. I am not a huge fan of FireFox, or Firebug, and it is not a solid solution, you can not save, there are some deficiencies. Apple's Web Inspector tool gets me part there, but you can only edit CSS in their fields, can not get raw access to a file. I see in TM I can do a "Show Web Preview", which is pretty nice. It is not pure real time. Why is this? Why can something like FireBug do real time updates, but TM is more on a schedule? Not knocking it, I am genuinely curious about the technical aspects of how this is working. The trouble is, I do not want to do inline CSS editing, I want to edit the references CSS file. If I open a html file, which has a link to a .css file, make change to the .css file, the .html file that is open in the web preview is not updated. I have to toggle back to the .html file, make a space or other change, and then I see the update. Any other way to trigger the update from the linked file? TM also only works on local files. If I am working on a remote file over ssh/ftp all image links will be broken, so something as simple as <img src="icons/blue.png" /> which would load in a browser just fine, will be broken in the web preview. Any suggestions to get out of the change/save/switch/reload cycle that is going to give me carpal tunnel syndrome soon enough. I am going to look at CSSEdit as some others have suggested, but I really do not want to add another huge dev tool to the list of things I need to learn, and I am already 110% happy with hose TM auto completes CSS. -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ *

Bug: Garbled caret file attribute when line=0, col=0 [build 1948]

by Nick Wright

Hi, I've had a look for this in the archives but no mention of it, so here's a very minor bug I just found: Basically, TextMate will garble its caret bookmark file attribute whenever column == 0 && line == 0. When saving any file with the caret in this position, the resulting attribute always read like this: com.macromates.caret: 0000 78 9C AB E6 52 00 82 E4 FC 9C D2 DC 3C 05 5B 05 x...R.......<.[. 0010 03 6B 30 3F 27 33 2F 15 C2 AB 05 00 8B 99 08 1D .k0?'3/......... When saving the file with the caret in any other position, the attribute saves normally: com.macromates.caret: { column = 0; line = 1; } Tested & reproduced using TextMate 1.5.8 (build 1498) on an Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook running OS X 10.5.5 (9F33). I hope that's enough information to identify the offending code -- keep up the good work, it's a great app! -- Nick

Improved insert Color command for CSS

With the following script placed in a copy of the CSS Insert Color Command, you will get a readable color name instead of difficult to read hex codes. #!/usr/bin/env ruby require ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + "/lib/ui" require ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + "/lib/exit_codes" colour = STDIN.read # http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colornames.asp COLOURS = { 'aliceblue' => 'F0F8FF', 'antiquewhite' => 'FAEBD7', 'aqua' => '00FFFF', 'aquamarine' => '7FFFD4', 'azure' => 'F0FFFF', 'beige' => 'F5F5DC', 'bisque' => 'FFE4C4', 'black' => '000000', 'blanchedalmond' => 'FFEBCD', 'blue' => '0000FF', 'blueviolet' => '8A2BE2', 'brown' => 'A52A2A', 'burlywood' => 'DEB887', 'cadetblue' => '5F9EA0', 'chartreuse' => '7FFF00', 'chocolate' => 'D2691E', 'coral' => 'FF7F50', 'cornflowerblue' => '6495ED', 'cornsilk' => 'FFF8DC', 'crimson' => 'DC143C', 'cyan' => '00FFFF', 'darkblue' => '00008B', 'darkcyan' => '008B8B', 'darkgoldenrod' => 'B8860B', 'darkgray' => 'A9A9A9', 'darkgrey' => 'A9A9A9', 'darkgreen' => '006400', 'darkkhaki' => 'BDB76B', 'darkmagenta' => '8B008B', 'darkolivegreen' => '556B2F', 'darkorange' => 'FF8C00', 'darkorchid' => '9932CC', 'darkred' => '8B0000', 'darksalmon' => 'E9967A', 'darkseagreen' => '8FBC8F', 'darkslateblue' => '483D8B', 'darkslategray' => '2F4F4F', 'darkslategrey' => '2F4F4F', 'darkturquoise' => '00CED1', 'darkviolet' => '9400D3', 'deeppink' => 'FF1493', 'deepskyblue' => '00BFFF', 'dimgray' => '696969', 'dimgrey' => '696969', 'dodgerblue' => '1E90FF', 'firebrick' => 'B22222', 'floralwhite' => 'FFFAF0', 'forestgreen' => '228B22', 'fuchsia' => 'FF00FF', 'gainsboro' => 'DCDCDC', 'ghostwhite' => 'F8F8FF', 'gold' => 'FFD700', 'goldenrod' => 'DAA520', 'gray' => '808080', 'grey' => '808080', 'green' => '008000', 'greenyellow' => 'ADFF2F', 'honeydew' => 'F0FFF0', 'hotpink' => 'FF69B4', 'indianred' => 'CD5C5C', 'indigo' => '4B0082', 'ivory' => 'FFFFF0', 'khaki' => 'F0E68C', 'lavender' => 'E6E6FA', 'lavenderblush' => 'FFF0F5', 'lawngreen' => '7CFC00', 'lemonchiffon' => 'FFFACD', 'lightblue' => 'ADD8E6', 'lightcoral' => 'F08080', 'lightcyan' => 'E0FFFF', 'lightgoldenrodyellow' => 'FAFAD2', 'lightgray' => 'D3D3D3', 'lightgrey' => 'D3D3D3', 'lightgreen' => '90EE90', 'lightpink' => 'FFB6C1', 'lightsalmon' => 'FFA07A', 'lightseagreen' => '20B2AA', 'lightskyblue' => '87CEFA', 'lightslategray' => '778899', 'lightslategrey' => '778899', 'lightsteelblue' => 'B0C4DE', 'lightyellow' => 'FFFFE0', 'lime' => '00FF00', 'limegreen' => '32CD32', 'linen' => 'FAF0E6', 'magenta' => 'FF00FF', 'maroon' => '800000', 'mediumaquamarine' => '66CDAA', 'mediumblue' => '0000CD', 'mediumorchid' => 'BA55D3', 'mediumpurple' => '9370D8', 'mediumseagreen' => '3CB371', 'mediumslateblue' => '7B68EE', 'mediumspringgreen' => '00FA9A', 'mediumturquoise' => '48D1CC', 'mediumvioletred' => 'C71585', 'midnightblue' => '191970', 'mintcream' => 'F5FFFA', 'mistyrose' => 'FFE4E1', 'moccasin' => 'FFE4B5', 'navajowhite' => 'FFDEAD', 'navy' => '000080', 'oldlace' => 'FDF5E6', 'olive' => '808000', 'olivedrab' => '6B8E23', 'orange' => 'FFA500', 'orangered' => 'FF4500', 'orchid' => 'DA70D6', 'palegoldenrod' => 'EEE8AA', 'palegreen' => '98FB98', 'paleturquoise' => 'AFEEEE', 'palevioletred' => 'D87093', 'papayawhip' => 'FFEFD5', 'peachpuff' => 'FFDAB9', 'peru' => 'CD853F', 'pink' => 'FFC0CB', 'plum' => 'DDA0DD', 'powderblue' => 'B0E0E6', 'purple' => '800080', 'red' => 'FF0000', 'rosybrown' => 'BC8F8F', 'royalblue' => '4169E1', 'saddlebrown' => '8B4513', 'salmon' => 'FA8072', 'sandybrown' => 'F4A460', 'seagreen' => '2E8B57', 'seashell' => 'FFF5EE', 'sienna' => 'A0522D', 'silver' => 'C0C0C0', 'skyblue' => '87CEEB', 'slateblue' => '6A5ACD', 'slategray' => '708090', 'slategrey' => '708090', 'snow' => 'FFFAFA', 'springgreen' => '00FF7F', 'steelblue' => '4682B4', 'tan' => 'D2B48C', 'teal' => '008080', 'thistle' => 'D8BFD8', 'tomato' => 'FF6347', 'turquoise' => '40E0D0', 'violet' => 'EE82EE', 'wheat' => 'F5DEB3', 'white' => 'FFFFFF', 'whitesmoke' => 'F5F5F5', 'yellow' => 'FFFF00', 'yellowgreen' => '9ACD32', } if colour.length > 0 and colour[0] != ?# colour.downcase! # Convert named colours to their hex values colour = '#' + COLOURS[colour] if COLOURS.has_key? colour end if res = TextMate::UI.request_color(colour) manhattandistance = 800 output = nil COLOURS.values.each { |v| newdist = (res.slice(1,2).hex-v.slice(1,2).hex).abs + (res.slice(3,2).hex-v.slice(3,2).hex).abs + (res.slice(5,2).hex- v.slice(5,2).hex).abs if newdist < manhattandistance manhattandistance = newdist output = v end } COLOURS.keys.each { |k| res = k if COLOURS[k] == output } print res else TextMate.exit_discard end ----------------------------------- See the amazing new SF reel: Invasion of the man eating cucumbers from outer space.

TM freezes for 10+ minutes on a file with Soft Wrap + Regexp slowness

by David Ross

Hi guys, I'm a new TM user and I've noticed two very peculiar things about TM. When you have a file that has only one line break (say a minimized css or js file) and if you have Soft Wrap enabled, TM will freeze for 10 minutes at a time! Totally weird. Even a TextEdit works perfectly with something like that. Another issue is slow regexp. Whenever I execute regexp on a file that's about 5K lines, TM freezes for 20+ seconds. I've never seen such a slow regexp. Am I doing something wrong or is there a preference/switch that I could set so it doesn't do that? Thanks for any help! Dave

A couple of thoughts from a TextMate newbie

by Darren Brierton

Hello, long-time Emacs user / new TextMate user here. I wanted to drop by and say "hi", say how much I am loving TextMate so far (I thought nothing would drag me away from Emacs), and discuss a couple of features that I miss. Firstly, I was on the whole a very happy user of Emacs, and an article I wrote describing my Emacs environment for XHTML/CSS/Javascript/PHP web development was even mentioned in the O'Reilly Emacs book. I'd tried TextMate a couple of years ago and not liked it, but I tried it again a few weeks ago and was blown away. However there are two things that I miss. I have done a Google search on the mailing list archives and couldn't see much discussion of either of these, but please appreciate that the mailing list archive is very large and I'm new here so I apologies in advance if I'm just raking over things that have been discussed to death. 1. Good parenthesis matching and highlighting I'm actually genuinely surprised at this. TexMate is very weak in this area. I should be able to put the cursor between say "})" and have the two closing parentheses highlighted in different colours and have their corresponding opening parenthese highlighted in matching colours. 2. The ability to parse DTDs and Schemas for automagic knowledge of markup languages This is much more of a tall order, but it is something that PSGML mode and nXML mode provide in Emacs, and to some extent it is similar to what AUC-TeX provides for LaTeX editing in Emacs. With PSGML mode and nXML mode I can open any type of SGML or XML document and as long as Emacs can find the DTD or the Schema it automatically understands the language in question: it knows what elements are part of the language, where they can be inserted, what attributes those elements can have and even what attribute values they can have. That means that you don't need to write a MathML mode, an SVG mode, etc. In TextMate I needed to hand edit an SVG file but there is no SVG bundle, just an XML one. It was the first time in weeks I had to use Emacs. Similarly work is progressing rapidly now on HTML 5. Support will have to be laboriously added to TextMate for this in the absence of something which simply understood the DTD or Schema. AUC-TeX on Emacs worked in a similar way, in that it was capable of parsing the LaTeX packages you were using and automatically extracting the commands and environments they used and adding them to menus. As I understand it, the features of TextMate 2.0 are somewhat shrouded in mystery, but I understand that the underlying engine for language grammars is being re-written. Does anyone know if the kind of feature I discussed is likely to be possible in TextMate 2? Maybe it is already possible in TextMate 1, but no one else has seen a need for it? Anyway, so far the pros of TextMate are outweighing the cons. There were a large number of niggles with Emacs that were driving me up the wall, and so far it has been a joy to switch to TextMate. Better paren matching seems like something that just needs to be there. A more intelligent way for dealing with markup languages is highly desirable from my point of view, and could in the long-term end up being a deal- breaker. I'd be interested to hear what others think. Best, Darren

Permissions problem with CLI mate...

by Andrew Farley

Hey guys, I use textmate a LOT on OS-X Leopard 1.5.6 as my main CLI text editor via .bash_profile and I edit a lot of files from my computer with textmate. But I have issues with permissions when trying to "mate" files which my user does not have permissions to read. Even if I "sudo mate". Textmate pretends it opened this file but the file is empty, and when you save it it will ask for administrative privileges to do so. Steps to reproduce: $ echo "this is a test" > testfile $ sudo chown root testfile $ sudo chmod 700 testfile $ sudo mate testfile Result: Textmate opens a window called "testfile" but shows nothing in this file. If you edit this file and hit save, a window pops up which asks for your credentials to save over this file. Expected result: #1 - preferred: uses the above "sudo" permission to pass into and/or launch textmate under for editing of this file. Which would allow opening and saving of this file without requiring re-entry of credentials (annoying). #2 - secondary/temporary alternative: upon failing opening a file (like what's happening here) asking the user for credentials which would allow opening the file. If this fails, do not open the window because clearly, you don't have permissions for this file anyway, you shouldn't have an editor window open for it. If their credentials succeed, use the "open" permission for saving also. Anyone have a workaround for this, or any ideas? The contact area said to post here first. I googled a bit and didn't find anything so I'm starting here. Cheers! - Andrew
