Your first request can be fulfilled with a macro. The macro property Continue if search string not found must be checked for this macro.

Code: Select all

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
UltraEditReOn
Bottom
IfColNumGt 1
InsertLine
IfColNumGt 1
DeleteToStartofLine
EndIf
EndIf
Top
TrimTrailingSpaces
Find MatchCase RegExp "[ ^t]+"
Replace All "#"
Find MatchCase RegExp "%^([0-9]+^)$"
Replace All "#^1"
Find MatchCase RegExp "%^([0-9]+#^)"
Replace All "#^1"
Find MatchCase RegExp "^([0-9]^)#"
Replace All "^1^p#"
Loop 0
Find MatchCase "#"
IfNotFound
ExitLoop
EndIf
Key LEFT ARROW
StartSelect
Find MatchCase RegExp Select "%[~#^p]"
IfFound
Key LEFT ARROW
EndSelect
SortAsc Numeric 2 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0
Find MatchCase RegExp "%[0-9]"
IfNotFound
ExitLoop
EndIf
Else
SelectToBottom
SortAsc Numeric 2 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0
ExitLoop
EndIf
EndLoop

Find MatchCase "#"
Replace All ""

Here is the macro again with indentations and comments for better understanding how it works. You should save that into a text file with same name as the macro file *.mac containing the compiled macro code, but with file extension uem (or txt).

Code: Select all

//  Define the environment for the macro.
    InsertMode
    ColumnModeOff
    HexOff
    UltraEditReOn
//  Make sure that also last line of file ends with a line termination.
    Bottom
    IfColNumGt 1
        InsertLine
        IfColNumGt 1
            DeleteToStartofLine
        EndIf
    EndIf
//  Back to top of the file and delete all trailing spaces.
    Top
    TrimTrailingSpaces
//  Find strings with 1 or more spaces / tabs and replace
//  each of them by character #.
    Find MatchCase RegExp "[ ^t]+"
    Replace All "#"
//  Find lines containing only a number and nothing else
//  and insert the character # at beginning of such lines.
    Find MatchCase RegExp "%^([0-9]+^)$"
    Replace All "#^1"
//  Find lines starting with a number followed by character #
//  and insert the character # at beginning of such lines.
    Find MatchCase RegExp "%^([0-9]+#^)"
    Replace All "#^1"
//  Find a digit followed by character # and insert a line
//  termination after the digit.
    Find MatchCase RegExp "^([0-9]^)#"
    Replace All "^1^p#"
//  Now every number of a day is on a separate line with # at beginning.
//  Run the following loop until the numbers of all days are sorted.
    Loop 0
//  Find next line with character # at beginning. If not found, exit loop.
        Find MatchCase "#"
        IfNotFound
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
//  Move caret left to found character # and start selection mode.
        Key LEFT ARROW
        StartSelect
//  Select everything up to a line not starting with character # (= next day).
        Find MatchCase RegExp Select "%[~#^p]"
        IfFound
//  If such a line could be found, move the caret left to beginning of line
//  while selection mode is still active. Now all number lines of a day are
//  selected. Sort this block which results in discarding the selection and
//  moving the caret to start of the first line of the block. So use another
//  regular expression Find to move caret downwards to the first line of the
//  next day (starts with a digit).
            Key LEFT ARROW
            EndSelect
            SortAsc Numeric 2 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0
            Find MatchCase RegExp "%[0-9]"
            IfNotFound
                ExitLoop
            EndIf
        Else
//  If there is no line not starting with character # anymore, this is the
//  last day in the file. Select from start of first line with a number to
//  end of line and sort this last block before exiting the loop. This is
//  the typical exit. The other 2 exits are just for security in case the
//  macro is executed on a wrong file.
            SelectToBottom
            SortAsc Numeric 2 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    EndLoop
//  Move caret to top of file and delete all inserted # from the file.

    Find MatchCase "#"

Your second request can't be done with an UltraEdit macro. That requires an UltraEdit script with support for variables and arrays.

Dec 23, 2011#32011-12-23T15:46+00:00

And here is the UltraEdit script for your second request with comments.

Code: Select all

function Numsort (a, b)  // Function for sorting the array of numbers.
{
   return a - b;
}

if (UltraEdit.document.length > 0)  // Is any file opened in UltraEdit.
{
   // Define the environment for the script.
   UltraEdit.insertMode();
   UltraEdit.columnModeOff();
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.hexOff();
   UltraEdit.perlReOn();
   // Make sure that also last line of file ends with a line termination.
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.bottom();
   if (UltraEdit.activeDocument.isColNumGt(1))
   {
      UltraEdit.activeDocument.insertLine();
      if (UltraEdit.activeDocument.isColNumGt(1))
      {
         UltraEdit.activeDocument.deleteToStartOfLine();
      }
   }
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.top();   // Move caret to top of the file.

   // Define the parameters for a Perl regular expression search finding
   // 1 or more lines containing only space or tab delimited integers.
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.mode=0;
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.matchCase=true;
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.matchWord=false;
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.regExp=true;
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.searchDown=true;
   if (typeof(UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.searchInColumn) == "boolean")
   {
      UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.searchInColumn=false;
   }

   // Run the following loop as long as line(s) containing only
   // integer numbers with or without spaces/tabs are found.
   while (UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.find("^(?:[ \\t\\d\\-]+\\r\\n)+"))
   {
      // The found lines are selected. Extract from the selected block
      // all integer numbers into an array of strings with each element
      // containing 1 number as string.
      var asNumbers = UltraEdit.activeDocument.selection.match(/-*\d+/g);
      // Create a second array of integers and convert the integer strings into
      // real integers. The integer array is next sorted according to the values.
      var nNumCount = asNumbers.length;
      if (nNumCount > 1)
      {
         var anNumbers = new Array(nNumCount);
         for (var nIndex = 0; nIndex < nNumCount; nIndex++)
         {
            anNumbers[nIndex] = parseInt(asNumbers[nIndex],10);
         }
         anNumbers.sort(Numsort);
         // Create in memory a block with pairs of the found integers.
         var sBlock = "";
         for (var nFirst = 0; nFirst < (nNumCount - 1); nFirst++)
         {
            for (var nSecond = nFirst + 1; nSecond < nNumCount; nSecond++)
            {
               sBlock += anNumbers[nFirst].toString() + " " + anNumbers[nSecond].toString() + "\r\n";
            }
         }
         // Write this block to the file overwritting the selection.
         UltraEdit.activeDocument.write(sBlock);
      }
   }
}

And if you replace in above script the block

Code: Select all

         // Create in memory a block with pairs of the found integers.
         var sBlock = "";
         for (var nFirst = 0; nFirst < (nNumCount - 1); nFirst++)
         {
            for (var nSecond = nFirst + 1; nSecond < nNumCount; nSecond++)
            {
               sBlock += anNumbers[nFirst].toString() + " " + anNumbers[nSecond].toString() + "\r\n";
            }
         }

by the block

Code: Select all

         // Create in memory a block with the sorted numbers.
         var sBlock = "";
         for (var nIndex = 0; nIndex < nNumCount; nIndex++)
         {
            sBlock += anNumbers[nIndex].toString() + "\r\n";
         }

you get a second script making the same as the macro above with a completely different method.

Thank you for your macro and script, Mofi.
