Thanks for the suggestions. The boolean vs integer flags I can't imagine would make that much of a difference (or rather, it shouldn't). As for the second set of modifications, it's true that it can be optimized - I've written function libraries that I use all the time, so I end up putting my script...

A long shot but Bracket did you end up writing a script to do this? Actually, I did. It serves my needs perfectly. It's possible that you might need to tweak the RegEx strings for your own documents. But see how this works for you: var WorkingFile = UltraEdit.activeDocument; // Function to execute ...

That was driving me nuts - thank you! :)

I'm working on a script that converts PM times to 24 hour format. The core of that script is this: var WorkingFile = UltraEdit.activeDocument; WorkingFile.copy(); Hour = UltraEdit.clipboardContent; Hour = parseInt(Hour) if (Hour != 12) { Hour += 12; } UltraEdit.clipboardContent = Hour; WorkingFile.p...

Those four black background buttons are a visual blight. I can't stand them.

In other words, the very last line of the script, "KeywordCaseChange("keyword1|keyword2|keyword3");" is the only place you need to enter the list of keywords you wish to act upon (seperated by a pipe character, if you are using more than one). You are not supposed to put them anywhere else in the sc...

Not difficult. Unfortunately, UltraEdit doesn't have very good RegEx support, and Perl RegEx has some limitations that keep us from dealing with this issue gracefully. As a result, we need to hack a solution via a different route. The following script will do as you ask. It will look for "--" as wha...

I tried it with %, so that would make %(21.111.2[2-7].[0-9]+) or %21.111.2[2-7].[0-9]+, , right? But that doesn't work! EDIT: So it should become something like: [NO digit/point OR digit directly before it, but an empty space)21.111.2[2-7].[0-9]+. Am I on the right track? There are a few problems w...

You're very welcome. :)

Easy. Do a Perl RegEx Replace All: Find Text: (\r\n){2,} Replace Text: \r\n\r\n\r\n Now, you said "x number of blank lines", you didn't say "anything greater than two blank lines". So, the RegEx I provided will do this where you only have one blank line as well. If this was not your intention, than ...

The reason your modification isn't working is because "\b" references a word boundary, and a semicolon *is* a word boundary. If you want to make this work, you need to remove the "\b" on either side of the semicolon which means using (?s)\bword1\b.*?;

It's easily done, but requires scripting. I wrote a script for you that will search for a list of keywords, and turn all of them into UPPERCASE. var WorkingFile = UltraEdit.activeDocument; function KeywordCaseChange(SearchString) { WorkingFile.top(); // Do initial search for string UltraEdit.perlReO...

Note that UltraEdit does *not* support RegEx fully. UltraEdit cripples RegEx by applying it on a line by line basis, whereas RegEx is supposed to apply to the entire document for true multi-line support. I love UltraEdit, but when I need more advanced RegEx support, I use JGSoft's EditPad Pro. I wis...

Unfortunately, not all the strings are that long. And shorter strings can be mistaken for email addresses. I was able to get a serviceable result by limiting the search to the characters that Base64 uses: (?:[A-Za-z0-9+/=]{20,}) So, I'll use that. Thanks.

I have text files that are a combination of plaintext and base64. I'm looking to write a script that will decode the base64 sections. What I need to know is whether there is any way to programmatically detect them, so they can be decoded without touching the plaintext. Does anyone know how I can do ...
