In Ace Editor, I want to find a text, select row and replace that text. I can find the text (using own tags to find them), and it is working. I'm also able to get the row (line) number by using following code:
editor.find('needle',{
backwards: true,
wrap: true,
caseSensitive: true,
range: null,
wholeWord: true,
regExp: false
})
editor.$search.set({
needle: /(start_#D1_SavePos)/
});
var found = editor.$search.find(editor.getSession()),
Range = require('ace/range').Range,
// find tagname "start_#D1_SavePos" in editor
mine = new Range(found.start.row+1, found.start.column-1, found.end.row+1, found.end.column),
// read the line number
D1SavePos = (editor.session.getTextRange(mine)),
// get next line number, after "start_#D1_SavePos"
// I need only this and in the editor it will be R13=0
rowOfD1SavePos = (mine+1),
// Rewrite R13 with value from input text
// get Value from input field
newD1SavePos = document.getElementById("highestBTTXT").value,
//Replace Zero-Value from R13 to new value
D1SavePos = D1SavePos.replace(/R13=0/, "R13=" + newD1SavePos);
// Now set this to editors row
Tried to make the row selection with, because in "rowOfD1SavePos" the read line number is stored:
editor.selection.moveCursorToPosition(rowOfD1SavePos);
but it is not working. If this works I want to replace this row with the value "D1SavePos"
UPDATE 25.10.14
This is my perfect working solution:
editor.find('needle',{
backwards: true,
wrap: true,
caseSensitive: true,
range: null,
wholeWord: true,
regExp: false
});
editor.$search.set({ needle: /(start_#D1_SavePos)/ });
var found = editor.$search.find(editor.getSession()),
Range = require('ace/range').Range,
// Find Coordinates, after Line "start_#D1_SavePos"
row = new Range(found.start.row+1, found.start.column-1, found.end.row+1, found.end.column),
// read Text in row
D1SavePos = (editor.session.getTextRange(row)),
// rewrite
// get value from input field
newD1SavePos = document.getElementById("highestBTTXT").value;
// rewrite R-Parameter with input value
D1SavePos = D1SavePos.replace(/R13=0/, "R13=" + newD1SavePos);
// write in editor
// mark line
editor.selection.moveCursorToPosition({row: row, column: 0});
// write
editor.session.replace(new Range(row, 0, row, Number.MAX_VALUE), D1SavePos);
moveCursorToPosition
takes a position that is an object with row and column like
editor.selection.moveCursorToPosition({row: row, column: 0}) ;
to replace text use editor.session.replace(range, text)
like this
var range = editor.find('needle',{
wrap: true,
caseSensitive: true,
wholeWord: true,
regExp: false,
preventScroll: true // do not change selection
})
range.start.column = 0
range.end.column = Number.MAX_VALUE
editor.session.replace(range, "x" + editor.session.getLine(range.start.row) + "x")
editor.selection.setRange(range)
NOTE: in your example mine + 1
is a string, and you would easily see why editor.selection.moveCursorToPosition(rowOfD1SavePos);
doesn't work if you looked into that functions source with browser devtools
