    Hey All! Any non-insulting ideas why I can't seem to find a simple thing like "Delete all bookmarks/lines" in 12.20? Is it fixed in 13.00?

    I remembered that this was easy in Textpad, but the regexp was not quite as easy. Anyway, I had to download and install Textpad, and I hate going back, that's why I picked UltraEdit to begin with...

    Thanks,
    Ken

      In Textpad you have both "Clear all bookmarks" (as in UE) but also "Delete bookmarked lines" and I think kenlyle refers to the last one.

      As far as I know UE cannot "delete bookmarked lines" but it should be no problem creating a macro looping through all bookmarks and deleting the lines. This might work and for your convenience you could assign a hot key for the macro:

      Code: Select all

      InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
PerlReOn
Top
Loop 
GotoBookMarkSelect -1
IfSel
Key HOME
ToggleBookmark
DeleteLine
Key UP ARROW
Else
ExitLoop
EndIf
EndSelect
EndLoop
      (Feel free to perfect it as a bookmark in line 1 is not deleted, but all other bookmarked lines are).

        jorrasdk,

        Your analysis and reply were PERFECT, thanks.

        Yes, Delete Bookmarked lines was what I was looking for, hopefully without writing a macro. I will save the macro you've provided for future use.

        How do I submit Delete All Bookmarks as a feature request? Probably like that other editor, Edit-Delete-Bookmarked Lines...

        THANKS,
        Ken

          Feature requests ? -> read paragraph at the top of this page.

          You might want to include
          - Delete bookmarked lines
          - Copy bookmarked lines
          - Cut bookmarked lines

          You have my vote.

                See also Copy to clipboard bookmarked lines?

                Cut or delete bookmarked lines will be very similar. Create the 3 macros maybe with some other in a macro file which is specified to be automatically loaded on startup of UE/UES and use hot keys for the macros or use the macro list view for fast executing.

                  Yeah, that's OK, but I'd rather not have to hack my environment, or record macros to perform a basic function.

                  I don't live in UltraEdit, I just try to use it to get things done, so it's not like a hobby where I enjoy cobbling together bits of macros.

                  If you are concerned about menu space, Edit Bookmarks could become a submenu, with Copy, Delete, and whatever else one might want to do.

                  If 1000 people spend 5 minutes each recording those, the time adds up...that's why we rely on the developers...

                  Best,
                  Ken
