I saw this discussion thread in 2005 and would like to know: Is there a solution in the current version of UltraEdit Professional Text/HEX Editor Version 21.10.0.1032? I want to collapse tags that are at the same level instead of going one by one which is really disgusting/boring and tiring.
There is no built-in command to collapse all based on folding level in UE v21.10.0.1032 which I think would be a nice feature.
Such a feature could be implemented with an UltraEdit script for certain languages if the active file is well indented. Here is an example for such a script quickly written because of your question.
if (UltraEdit.document.length > 0) // Is any file opened?
{
// Define environment for this script.
UltraEdit.insertMode();
if (typeof(UltraEdit.columnModeOff) == "function") UltraEdit.columnModeOff();
else if (typeof(UltraEdit.activeDocument.columnModeOff) == "function") UltraEdit.activeDocument.columnModeOff();
// Remember current position of caret in the file.
var nLine = UltraEdit.activeDocument.currentLineNum;
var nColumn = UltraEdit.activeDocument.currentColumnNum;
var sIndent = "";
// Move caret to column 1 in current line.
UltraEdit.activeDocument.gotoLine(nLine,1);
// Select the whitespaces at beginning of this line.
UltraEdit.activeDocument.selectWord();
// Nothing is selected if caret is currently on a blank line.
if (UltraEdit.activeDocument.isSel())
{
// Get the selected indent (= selected "word").
var sIndent = UltraEdit.activeDocument.selection;
// Is really an indent or a word selected?
if (sIndent.search(/\S/) >= 0) sIndent = "";
}
// Move caret to top of the active file.
UltraEdit.activeDocument.top();
// For C/C++/C# and JavaScript the open fold string is an open brace.
var sFold = "%" + sIndent + "{";
// Define the parameters for an UltraEdit regular expression search.
UltraEdit.ueReOn();
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.mode=0;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.matchCase=true;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.matchWord=false;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.regExp=true;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.searchDown=true;
if (typeof(UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.searchInColumn) == "boolean")
{
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.searchInColumn=false;
}
// Fold all blocks with an opening brace at current indentation level.
// Block comments are not folded with this scripting code.
while(UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.find(sFold))
{
UltraEdit.activeDocument.gotoLine(0,1);
UltraEdit.activeDocument.hideOrShowLines();
UltraEdit.activeDocument.key("DOWN ARROW");
}
// Move caret back to initial position on script start.
UltraEdit.activeDocument.gotoLine(nLine,nColumn);
}
Note: This script does not work for C/C++/C# or JavaScript files using styles like java attach, Kernighan & Ritchie, stroustrup, banner, linux, otbs or lisp as explained on help page with title Artistic Style Formatter dialog. Such coding styles would require a much smarter UltraEdit script.
