InFile

[cogier]

Thanks again Bruce. I am only going to test for Nautilus and Nemo (Ubuntu and Linux Mint) as I know what to expect. The rest will fall back to standard or 'sort it out yourself' mode.

I'll update it on the Farm when it's working as all I get now (16:52 11/02/2021) is: -

[PJBlack]

i've allready reported that to the bug tracker

[cogier]

Yeah , probably best to , xdg open is good enough.
Not sure how you'd test , multiple linux types and desktops is how i do it.
Been a bit busy but i mostly only have gnome and mate desktops to test it on and have done.
(btw your comment about nautilus being ubuntu and mint wasn't quite correct as i have both linux's and they both use caja because i use mate desktop. i think nautilus is gnome default not ubuntu or mint) (lol, sorry i feel i'm being picky now)
All the best
Bruce

why not integrate bruces scripted into charlies infile or vice versa?

All things are possible

Can you make it take args Charlie?

I was thinking about doing something plugin like with ScriptEd
I love "External Tools" in Pluma, very handy , was thinking of something similar.

InFile could be easily added to a customisable list of tools.
would be good to auto-fill the fields and search by adding some args at runtime.
gb.args can take the effort out of it

OK here is a start.

WARNING This is a development version of the program

Code: Select all

./InFile.gambas --help

Will get you: -

Code: Select all

Usage: InFile <options> <arguments>

Options:
 -p --pattern <Pattern>                 File pattern to search e.g.'*.jpg,*.jepg'
 -s --search <Search>                   Text to search for
 -f --folder <Folder>                   Folder to search e.g.'~/pictures'
 -i --ignorecase <IgnoreCase>           Ignore the case when searching
 -R --recusive <Recursive>              Search in the sub folder of 'Folder'
 -V --version                           Display version
 -h --help                              Display this help

A sample command: -

Code: Select all

./InFile.gambas -p *.class -s WebView -f ~/Dropbox/gambas -i t -R t

The -i and -R commands need to start with "t" to be True. If it starts with anything else its False, but it must contain some text. I haven't worked out how to set it up without text - YET!.

try this..

  bArgCase = Args.Has("i", "ignorecase", "Ignore the case when searching")
  bArgRecursive = Args.Has("R", "recusive", "Search in the sub folder of 'Folder'")

Note: change to Boolean not string.


Another useful thing is getting leftover args with Args.End
If once you have catered for args using Get() and Has() calls you can use the following to read any other args (it handy if you want to pass multiple args like a bunch of file names , search strings, etc withoug having to prefix them all)

 Dim sTheRestOfTheArgs As String[] = Args.End

Awesome stuff
I almost have a "External Tools" like thing going with my Editor now.
i can parse file name / file dir / selected text or all text to any shell command so should be able to select some text then search.
just having an issue with my variables at mo..

[BruceSteers]

Here it is working a treat

I had to fix the -i -R flag stuff.
i changed the vars to boolean and used Args.Has()

I've added it to my "External Tools" list of commands so it searches my gambas source code folder for selected text in class and module files.
