Below is the code for an UltraEdit script for this special task.
- Copy the code and paste it into a new ASCII file and save the file for example with name AxisGetMinMax.js for example into %APPDATA%\IDMComp\UltraEdit\scripts (on Windows).
- Add this script to Script List with or without a hotkey or chord for quick execution by key by
clicking in menu Scripting on menu item Scripts on using traditional menus, or
clicking in menu Advanced on menu item All scripts on using contemporary menus, or
clicking on ribbon tab Advanced in group Script on item All scripts on using ribbon mode.
To run the script
- use the hotkey or chord if one is assigned to the script, or
- click on script name in menu Scripting on using traditional menus, or
click on script name in menu Advanced in submenu Play script on using contemporary menus, or
click on ribbon tab Advanced in group Script on down arrow of item Play script and click in opened pop-up menu on the script name on using ribbon mode, or
- double click on the script name in Script List view opened with
a click in menu Scripting on Script List or in menu View in submenu Views/Lists on Script List on using traditional menus, or
a click in menu Layout on menu item Script list on using contemporary menus, or
a click ribbon tab Layout in group Views on item Script list on using ribbon mode.
The script can be executed just on a selection in active file or on entire active file if there is nothing currently selected in active file.
#.# is output for minimum and maximum value for an axis if there is no value found for an axis is current selection or entire file.

}
The output is written well formatted and aligned to the output window which is automatically opened if currently not visible.
The output for the input example is:
Code: Select all
Min. / max. X = -68.356 / -63.356
Min. / max. Y = 23.75 / 28.25
Min. / max. Z = -1.0 / 10.0

I would be really interested in which editors have such a feature for G-Codes built-in. Are those editors specific designed for G-Codes or are they general text editors like UltraEdit.
Which editors have such a minimum and maximum determining feature built-in without using a third-party plugin or script?
