Go To Line

Hello,

I need to run 'Go To Line' functionality from scripting. Is there any function or action for same ?

Thanks

In the script you can use cursor position directly. Look at setCaretPos(x, y) or caretX(), caretY() method

Yes !

setCaretPos(x, y)working great but its not set the center of editor ..

Any workaround ?

topLineIndex(), linesInWindow()
I hope you understand hwo to use it.
For more information see Scripting.rtf in PSPad folder or PSPad help

pythonui:

Hi,
you could probably use something like the following hack

Quote:

function setCaretAndScrollToView(){
if (editorsCount()<1){return;}
var actEd = newEditor();
actEd.assignActiveEditor();
actEd.setCaretPos(1, 1);
actEd.setCaretPos(1, 94 + Math.floor(actEd.linesInWindow()/2));
actEd.setCaretPos(7, 94);
}

i.e. set the caret to the top to ensure the direction of the scrolling (top-bottom, aligning to the bottom margin)
- set the caret about half the visible line count further
- set the caret to the needed coordinates

hth,

VBR, better is use topLineIndex() funstion.
You know number of lines in the window - linesInWindow()
Half of it is center line - caretY position. So you need to set top line to CaretY position - half of the lines in window

Thanks for your suggestion; however, can you elaborate on the usage in the script? - I can't find a way with less code than above and possibly without repeated caret settings.
One could possibly check whether the current view (via topLineIndex) is below or above the needed caret position and adjust the half-page offset to the needed direction, but it seems a bit more complicated than the above.

One line less

function setCaretAndScrollToView(){
if (editorsCount()<1){return;}
var actEd = newEditor();
actEd.assignActiveEditor();
actEd.setCaretPos(1, 45);
actEd.topLineIndex(45 - Math.floor(actEd.linesInWindow()/2));
}

Ok, thanks,
I forgot, we can even set topLine this way (not only determine the value).

That's perfect
