    Hello there,

    Is there any way for me to convert multiple files from their current format to CR/LFs without having to do it one by one? My output folders have about 140 xml documents in them each time i run the script. I then have to go in and convert to CR/LFs in order to find the field I am looking for. Is there any script or option in Ultraedit that I can run on a folder that would automatically do the XML Convert for me for all the items in the folder I choose, rather then me doing them one at a time? Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks

      If you are using English UltraEdit and have not modified the Find Output Format configuration settings, you can
      • download GetListOfFiles.js,
      • open this UltraEdit script in UltraEdit,
      • replace the last line in this file by

        Code: Select all

        if (GetListOfFiles(nSearchIn,sFolder,sFiles,bSubFolders)) {
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.selectAll();
   var asFileNames = UltraEdit.activeDocument.selection.split("\r\n");
   asFileNames.pop();  // Remove empty string at end of array of file names.
   UltraEdit.closeFile(UltraEdit.activeDocument.path,2);
   UltraEdit.outputWindow.write("\nFound "+asFileNames.length+"file"+((asFileNames.length != 1) ? "s:\n" : ":\n"));
   for (nFile = 0; nFile < asFileNames.length; nFile++) {
      UltraEdit.open(asFileNames[nFile]);
      UltraEdit.activeDocument.xmlConvertToCRLF();
      UltraEdit.closeFile(UltraEdit.activeDocument.path,1);
      UltraEdit.outputWindow.write(asFileNames[nFile]);
   }
}
      • save the script file,
      • execute it using Scripting - Run Active Script and
      • enter the data for getting the list of XML file names to open, convert, save and close.
      You need to adapt 2 string variables according to comments at top of the script if you are using UltraEdit in a different language or with having Find Summary definition string changed or disabled.

      Note: None of the XML files to convert should be opened already in UltraEdit as this would result in failing of the script.

        Worked perfectly. Thanks so much. Wish this was an option in UltraEdit, but this worked perfectly. I mean, wow, amazing, you did it. Thank you!
