Windows 7, 32-bit UltraEdit Professional Text/HEX Editor Version 18.20.0.1021

My output window shows two tabs at the bottom of the UltraEdit window with the digits 1 and 2 in them. Is there anyway a script can select which tab to write to? I was hoping to put the script status in one tab and the frInFiles results when UltraEdit.frInFiles.useOutputWindowindow = true; in the other tab.

Unfortunately it is not possible to

1. get index of active output window tab,
2. or switch active output window,
3. or write directly to one of the output windows by index.

UEStudio has even 4 output window tabs.

I have sent a feature request email to IDM support already years ago for such an enhancement in accessing the output window from within a script. But it looks like there were not many users requesting the same as all of above is still not available in UE v21.10.0.1027.

So I can suggest only to use
at top of your script once the script works fine. This disables writing any status information and also messages about errors detected during script execution to output window.

Further it is possible to use UltraEdit.outputWindow.copy(); to copy current contents of active output window to active clipboard which can be accessed with UltraEdit.clipboardContent to hold the text in a string variable or an array of strings. So it is possible to get finally after script finished a completely customized output in output window containing lines from script itself, from a Find in Files and/or a user/project tool execution.

Thank you. I was thinking of separating the two while debugging the script. Once it is debugged, I'll turn off status. My script already uses UltraEdit.outputWIndow.copy() to get the results of the find-in-files. I was looking for an easier way of removing the script status from the copied text while debugging.
