UltraEdit, UltraCompare, UEStudio forums

@Mofi - Wow just wow. I'm not going to lie, I'm not versed in Perl (although I do understand regular expressions at a very elementary level) but I am a T-SQL developer so I can appreciate the kind of trouble shooting/debugging you had to do to track this down. On the upside we found a bug to make Ul...

Mofi, I have attached both the JavaScript file and a copy of the CSV file I use it on. NOTE: The last modified date on the JavaScript file is from 2018, when you last edited it for me. So I don't know how the script could have changed. Thanks for taking the time to look into this.

I have a script that Mofi helped me with two years ago that until recently has worked like a champ. It takes a file and parses it out into many files by reading through the file, locating starting and end lines and saving the contents to a new file and then moving through the file to find the next s...

Mofi - I'll give this a try as soon as I can get my current interface/IDE issue with UEStudio resolved; I mentioned it in a separate post about how to reset the IDE/interface of UEStudio.

GOAL: Get a distinct list of file names using UEStudio (via the search function or any other function if search will not do this) based on a search of the files contents matching a specific string of text. SEARCH CRITERIA: SEARCH FILE TYPES: *.txt SEARCH LOCATION: \\MyServer\Files\ SEARCH TEXT (Matc...

Thanks Ovg that worked. Now I have one additional change. What if there is an unknown character or set of characters between the known words? For example if I was searching for the same sets of words, but I wanted to allow for one or more unknown characters between parts of it like this? SEARCH PHRA...

I've been over the posts here and have tried to use what is listed but either I've missed something or what I need is not listed. I need to locate a file (via FIND IN FILES) where the sets of words I'm searching for will be across many lines and there may be 1 or more whites spaces or tabs between t...

After upgrading to the latest UEStudio (version 15) I find my menu bar is now floating instead of being attached to the UEStudio window. I've searched the configuration settings on menu and float and can not find any setting for this. Does anyone know how to disable this floating of the menu bar? UP...

PLATFORM: UEStudio 14.xx, Q: How can I create a new macro such that when the macro creation is done (after I have selected MACRO>>STOP RECORDING from the menus) I have a new '.mac' file that contains a single macro? When I go to record a new macro the only options I have is to cancel the action or ...

Thanks for the suggestion Mofi. I realized I'm very slow to reply back, but I am just getting back to delaying with this quirk using UC. Thanks again

Mofi, "It is not possible to compare text with ignoring the line terminators completely and read/compare the entire file as single line text." UC might not be able to do this, but it is by design and therefore intentional and not that way simply because it is something that can’t be done period. I'm...

Why do the File Ignore Options (IGNORE BLANK LINES IGNORE BLANK SPACE, IGNORE CASE & IGNORE LINE TERMINATORS ) not work when comparing 2 files of the same type (text in this case) where the only difference between them is the number of spaces and/or case and/or lines? For example if file 1 has this:...

GOAL: To locate within a specified folder/share and within files that have a file name pattern, 2 lines of text that in which line 1 begins with 2 '/' characters (i.e. //TextToFind ) and is followed by 1 word and then 1 or more spaces and then on line 2 begins with 0 to many spaces followed by a ke...

Mofi - One last question, are there any tutorials on scripting at the level needed to produce something like this? The more time I spend on this them more suprised I am that something like this isn't built-in. With each new release it amazes how they can find stuff to add to the product but they do ...

Mofi - Not that I don't appreciate what you've already taken the time to do but do you have eiether an example or a link to an example of a script like what you refer to in the last few sentences of your prior post? The list of find & replace words is rather long. Basically it consist of every keywo...
