    Hi,

    I am very new to UltraEdit, but am liking what I see. Is there an easy way to add the filename (no path neccesary) to the beginning of each line within a file, across many files? I am using ultraedit ver 16.

    Thanks

      Here is a short script that shows some of the functionality you're after on the current open file and leaves that file unchanged and opens a new file with the file name added to each line. I know there are other examples of scripts going thru multiple files (Mofi) and something like this would need to be integrated into those examples.

      Code: Select all

      var   doc      = UltraEdit.activeDocument,
      lineTerm = doc.lineTerminator === 1 ? '\n' : doc.lineTerminator === 2 ? '\r' : '\r\n',
      fLines = [],
      fName  = '';

doc.selectAll();
fLines   = doc.selection.split(lineTerm);
doc.bottom();
doc.top();

fName = doc.path.replace(/.+\\/,'');
UltraEdit.newFile();
for (var i = 0; i < fLines.length;i++) {
	  doc.write(fName + ' ' + fLines[i] + lineTerm);
}
      edit:
      I was unaware of Mofi's function for file name ....another awesome contribution to UE users.

        Code: Select all

        if (UltraEdit.document.length > 0) {

   UltraEdit.insertMode();
   if (typeof(UltraEdit.columnModeOn) == "function") UltraEdit.columnModeOn();
   else if (typeof(UltraEdit.activeDocument.columnModeOn) == "function") UltraEdit.activeDocument.columnModeOn();

   for (var nDocIndex = 0; nDocIndex < UltraEdit.document.length; nDocIndex++) {

      // Ignore files opened in hex edit mode.
      if (UltraEdit.document[nDocIndex].isHexModeOn()) continue;
      // Get name of the file with a simplified method. Better method working
      // also for FTP loaded files and for UNIX file paths offers the function
      // GetNameOfFile() in https://www.ultraedit.com/resources/scripts/FileNameFunctions.js
      var nLastBackslashPos = UltraEdit.document[nDocIndex].path.lastIndexOf('\\');
      // Ignore not saved new files.
      if (nLastBackslashPos < 0) continue;
      var sFileName = UltraEdit.document[nDocIndex].path.substr(++nLastBackslashPos);
      UltraEdit.document[nDocIndex].top();
      // Insert in column mode the file name at beginning of every line.
      UltraEdit.document[nDocIndex].columnInsert(sFileName + ": ");
   }
   if (typeof(UltraEdit.columnModeOff) == "function") UltraEdit.columnModeOff();
   else if (typeof(UltraEdit.activeDocument.columnModeOff) == "function") UltraEdit.activeDocument.columnModeOff();
}
