I suggest the following:

#!/usr/bin/env python import sys, os

oldtask = os.environ['TM_CURRENT_LINE'] sys.stdout.write("DONE " + oldtask[4:])

This is a Python issue. Python writes a newline to the end of all print statements, which is where this is coming from. You could write:

print newtask,

which would not write a newline, but would add a space. In order to write -just- the text, this would work:

#!/usr/bin/python import os,sys

def texter(): oldtask = os.environ['TM_CURRENT_LINE'] # oldtask = "Alligator" newtask = "DONE " for i in range (len(oldtask)): if i > 4: newtask = newtask + oldtask[i] sys.stdout.write(newtask) texter()

I am trying to create a command that will replace text on a line with new text (actually modified text from the current line). Here is the code that I am using:

#!/usr/bin/python import os

def texter(): oldtask = os.environ['TM_CURRENT_LINE'] # oldtask = "Alligator" newtask = "DONE " for i in range (len(oldtask)): if i > 4: newtask = newtask + oldtask[i] print newtask texter()

The problem that I have is that it inserts a line feed at the end of the new text. Is there a way to prevent that? Thanks.
