Hi,
Sometimes the scroll bar at the bottom of the window indicates that there is a very long line somewhere, but a visual scan scrolling from top to bottom of the file doesn't show any line going beyond (or even near) the right edge of the window. This isn't a show stopper of course, but it would be nice to have a command of the form "select the longest line in the file and scroll to show it". Is there such a thing? If not, is there an easy way to add on a user tool to do the trick?
Thanks, Bill
Hi Bill,
it's fast written ;) - and if you don't have more than 999999999 lines in your document:
Create a new Command; input: selection or text; output: discard
Command:
#!/bin/sh open txmt://open?line=`nl -nrz -w9 -b a|awk '{print length, $0}'|sort -nr|head -1|awk '{print $2}'`
This command will locate the caret at the beginning of the longest line in the current document.
Cheers, Hans
Excellent suggestions -- thanks to both of you.
Turns out that I somehow got long sections of trailing blanks in several lines, and that's why a visual scan didn't show the location.
I'm sure there must be a way to delete trailing blanks from all lines -- could you tell me how or point me to the relevant information.
Thanks again, Bill

The best remove trailing white space remover I know of is in the Avian Missing TextMate Bundle:
https://github.com/elia/avian-missing.tmbundle
I do have it set to TM_STRIP_WHITESPACE_ON_SAVE = true
