no-frills ctags - TextMate

27 Jan 2005


      I got curious. Here's no-frills (and no-warranty) ctags lookup suitable  
for use with the TM command editor. Select the identifier you're  
looking for and run this command to find it. Tested with the output  
from the ancient ctags command installed with Mac OS X. It doesn't  
support any 'ex' commands except pattern matching. It probably does not  
work with the extended ctags format, but it would be trivial to make  
the necessary modifications.
There is one problem, however: either my URI syntax is wrong or  
TextMate's 'txmt://' handler doesn't seem to be handling the 'line'  
parameter.
It would be nice to be able to access this command from the contextual  
menu.

             break if $_ =~ Regexp.new(Regexp.escape(identifier))
