[TxMt] Re: How can I add a sequencial number to this Find/Replace?

What on earth am I doing wrong with my sample files? After I save them and try to reopen them in TextMate they are blank...but if I open it in a different text editor all of the content is still there.

Thanks for taking the time to create the bundle for me René.

I have installed it but I am not 100% sure how to use it.

I have entered the shortcut key command “^⌥⌘R” and it appears to run but I do not understand how to target the parts that I want to replace.

Here is a screen capture of my find and replace settings: http://goo.gl/YBqYy9

Here is a zipped file of the file that I am trying to edit: http://goo.gl/XOkDRh

I don't know if it matters...but the content that I am trying to edit is from a FileMaker clipboard. I believe that it is in XML format. The items that I am trying to edit are references to layout elements. (More specifically, references to FileMaker Portals.)

Thanks again for your help!

I am a newbie to textmate and I am trying to perform a find and replace. I want to replace the matched text with a sequential number.

Here is my current replacement string: $1##$2

How can I replace the ## with a sequential number?

I do not think that what you want is possible using only regular expressions and “Find & Replace”. It is possible and not to complex using a programming language. The following code does what you want:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from re import compile
from sys import stdin, stdout

regex = compile(
    """(<PortalOBj portalFlags="16" numbOfRows="1"

initialRow=")\d+(">)""") index = 16

def create_subtitute_function():
    def substitute(match):
        global index
        replacement = "{}{}{}".format(match.group(1), index,

match.group(2)) index += 1 return replacement

    return substitute

text = regex.sub(create_subtitute_function(), stdin.read())
stdout.write(text)

I attached a bundle which contains a command that uses the above code. To install the bundle just double click it. You can apply the substitution on some text by pressing the key combination “^⌥⌘R”. Since the above is my code I would be careful when you use the command though :).

...

For example, I want the first sequential number to be 16.

Here is a screen capture:

Thanks!

Kind regards, René

P.S.: You can create a screenshot of a single window by using the key combination “⇧⌘4”. After that just hit “Space” and a click on the window you would like to make a screenshot of. This way you do not need to crop the picture.
