Hello script writers! Do you miss the Find Select method in the script environment to select a block from current caret position to end of a found string, or to select a block between two strings as you can use it in the macro environment with the command Find Select "..." ? Yes, then look on the fo...

Hi brain-trust, I'm trying to create a script that will grab 1000 lines at a time and then use the join function. Then rinse and repeat to the end. I'm really bad at programming so I just thought I'd ask to see if some wonderful person could throw this together for me rather than me beating my head ...

I've tried to use RunTool in a script file, and it works. But the problem is that UltraEdit is waiting until the "tool" (a Windows application) is closed, even it is configured not to capture any output. For example my script opens a browser, now the message "Cancel Operation" is displayed in front ...

Hello script writers! Often a script should be executed on a list of files and therefore it would be helpful to have a function which creates such a file list.
