With LuaCocoa, I have an example program called HybridCoreAnimationScriptability which shows how to open a Lua script file in the user's preferred text editor from the running application and modify the script while the application is running. The text editor code is in: LuaCocoa/Samples/HybridCoreAnimationScriptability/TextEditorSupport.m which can be found at http://bitbucket.org/ewing/luacocoa While this code isn't exactly what you are doing, it contains an explicit mapping of text editors. The reason I did this is because I wanted to not only open the text editor, but also open the text editor to a specific line number. Since this is very custom to every text editor, I need write special code for every editor. I've also used this code in multiple projects and in some cases, I've used this basic code to black list programs that hijack the extension (e.g. .lua) for things that are completely unhelpful in my context (like Adobe Lightroom). But maybe this list will be useful to you, especially since I would imagine jumping to specific line numbers would be useful in MacHG. I would welcome additions to the text editor list too. It takes a long time to research these features and I don't own all the editors out there to test. -Eric -- Beginning iPhone Games Development http://playcontrol.net/iphonegamebook/ _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
