    Is it possible to (by a macro) open all files listed in an open UltraEdit window? How do you loop through all the files listed?

    Any help or hints are highly appreciated.

      Yes it should be possible:

      Your macro should look something like that:

      Code: Select all

      Clipboard 9
Loop 0
IfEof
ExitLoop
EndIf
SelectLine
Copy
Open "^c"
PreviousWindow
Key Down
EndLoop
Clipboard 0
      I didn't try this code so I'm not sure.
      Let me know if you need help.

      Regards,
      Alain

      P.S: The current file must contain one file per line with full
      path if it's not in the current directory.

        Thank you for your answer.

        It doesn't work though. It claims that the filename "contains an invalid path". It is a correct path without any spaces or special characters. It can be opened manually by right-cklicking on that line. If I put quotes around the complete path it opens the file correctly. PreviousWindow doesn't return to the correct window when more then a few files are open.

        Key Down should be Key DOWN ARROW.

        The remaining problem (that I can't solve or workaround) is how to always return to the window containing the file list.

        Any thoughts on this issue?

          As I said, I never tried to do things like that, so I'm
          surprised that my solution doesn't work.

          The work around I can suggest you is to copy your
          file list in a clipborad and create a temp file each time.
          Sounds like:

          Code: Select all

          SelectAll
Clipboard 9
Copy
Loop 0
NewFile
Paste
Top
IfEof
ExitLoop
EndIf
SelectLine
Clipboard 8
Cut
SelectAll
Clipboard 9
Copy
CloseFile NoSave
Clipboard 8
Open "^c"
Clipboard 9
EndLoop
Clipboard 0

            This should be close to what you want. I dont have time fully debug/test but it may get you started and spark enough of an idea to finish the task.
