wrapping python strings

[Seth Dillingham]

Our policy at work is that Python files have a line length limitation of 80 
columns. This is a slight pain when we have strings that are longer. Python 
makes this fairly easy to deal with, though: sequential strings in parens are 
concatenated automatically into a single string. So a line like this:

s = 
'01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789'



Can instead be written like this:



s = 
(‘01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123'

 '456789012345678901234567890123456789')



Now suppose I have a string that is hundreds of characters long  (or more). 
Like that first `s = '...'` line, above, but it’s much longer. Perhaps a few 
dozen such lines.


Any suggestions on how I could wrap that text automatically?

I’ve seen some very python-centric editors that are smart about this. If the 
cursor is put somewhere in the string and you hit return, it closes the string 
there, adds the return, indents the new line, and then continues the string by 
adding another quote. So the second example, above, could has been made by 
putting the cursor right after that 3 and hitting return (assuming the parens 
were already there).

I’m not looking for PyCharm features in BBEdit, I’m just hoping for some clever 
way to wrap strings and indent them properly, all (or mostly) automatically.


Suggestions?

This all seems very reasonable. 95% of the time the matching delimiters is
really handy, but that other 5% is a little annoying. It needs some
tweaking, IMO.

I'm pretty sure the problem is that BBEdit doesn't consider the . an
auto-complete character.

Possible solution: change the names of your clippings. Use an _ underscore
(or any character that is considered valid for auto-complete) instead of a
dot, but have the contents of the clippings files include the dots.

So you'd type io_ to get a list similar to your screenshot, but it would
show io_close, io_flush, etc. However when you select an item, it would
actually insert io.close or io.flush because that's what is in the
clippings file.

Do you mean something like what the window-splitter does now? It's up at
the top right of the window, immediately above the scrollbar (or at least
above where the scrollbar would be if your mac doesn't show scrollbars). It
looks like a dark, horizontal line, just the width of the scrollbar.

Or maybe you meant something else, when you said "split a window." Sorry if

entabbing source code

[Seth Dillingham]

When entabbing source code (of nearly any language), I only want the
leading whitespace to be tabbified.

Unfortunately, current behavior is to entab all multi-space runs throughout
the lines.

The project I'm on at the moment has strings with long runs of space in
them, which must not be changed to tabs.

Does anyone have a script handy which entabs only the leading whitespace?

I can certainly write one, but I'm up to my ears already and if someone has
one already I'm happy to use it. :-D

Thanks,

Seth

The Verilog module is compiled code. It is not a codeless

You'll find an info.plist file in all BBEdit language modules,

I've been through all of the pref menus, but can't find a solution.

Am I missing something, or was this functionality removed?


I tend to write entire paragraphs on one "line" in the HTML 
document, so I find the current behavior less than ideal.


It was easy enough to work around, it, though. Try the following 
search-and-replace grep pattern:


Find: ^(.+)(\r?)(?:\r?)
Replace: \1\2

Make sure "[x] Grep" and "[x] Select text only" are both 
checked. Select the paragraphs you want to tag, and run that search-and-replace.


I have it as a saved pattern, so it's not like I'm typing it 
every time.


Could always put this in a script or a Text Factory, too, so 
that it could have a command-key assigned to it.


Of course it would be idea if there were some way to tell the 
HTML tools that you want this tag applied to each line of the 
current selection, instead of the whole selection at once. That 
would work wonderfully for , , , and lots of other cases.

Holding down the option key when shift-arrowing to select might

On 7/30/2011, Geoff Hicks said:


Finding and replacing multiple blocks of text bounded
by definable search strings that may be separated by many hundreds, if
not thousands of arbitrary lines has never been possible (stack

workaround was to define a search expression for the start block and
another for the end block then alternate the searches, toggling the
extend selection checkbox in the modal find dialog. With key bindings
for all the components of this replacement strategy, excluding the
alternating search expressions, this process was reasonably efficient.


Geoff,

Have you considered using a script for this work?

You could certainly imitate the original behavior with a script. 
Run the first search, get the index of the result, run the 
second search, get the index of the result, set the selection to 
the full range.

Agreed.

I had to make a movie showing nothing happening and they've now asked
for the html file. Although, this happens with any file. It's clearly
a bug in the app.


I ran some tests here.

The behavior I'm seeing is exactly as you describe if I set the 
language to "(none)".


I'm not suggesting that yours is set to "(none)", but rather 
that something may be confusing BBEdit on your machines into 
thinking your HTML documents are not really HTML documents.


You say it happens with any document? How widely have you tested 
that? Have you tried creating a completely new, blank, 
plain-text document and setting it's language to HTML, then 
immediately dropping an image into that empty window?


I ask that because BBEdit is known to use some of the tags in an 
HTML document to figure out what kind of document it is (that's 
why you were getting the xhtml version of the img tag). So 
perhaps your HTML has something in it that the app finds off-putting.


Just offering suggestions, but that's the last of them. 
Hopefully they'll help you figure it out soon.

Re: What am I missing in BBEdit 10?

[Seth Dillingham]

On 7/22/2011, NotInUse said:


I appreciate the responses, but you all seem to have the impression
(at least as I interpret it) that this is my first rodeo. I assure
you, it's not.


No, I think we just don't care how experienced you are. It makes 
no difference.


That's not a personal attack, it's just the blunt truth.


I see the same (faulty) results on multiple Macs running different OS
versions. Not one system. This immediately rules out corrupt
preferences or other system specific items. I realize (and have
posted) that it does not rule out user error. I, honestly, do not see
how, after 10+ years of use, user error could be the issue. But who
know.. I guess stranger things have happened. Point being, I'm not new
to the app.. or Macs.. or any of this I am left to believe it's
fault in the app itself.


Perhaps it is a fault in the app itself. So?

How is being exceptionally rude on a mailing list of other users 
going to help?


This is why you're getting the responses you're so unhappy 
about. The main point of most of your posts is NOT that the app 
isn't acting working how you think it should, but rather that 
you should be able to report that fact in whatever voice you 
like, in any forum you choose, and still get professional support.


Yet this is the BBEdit users discussion list, not the Bare Bones 
support forum. The only official channel for support is via the 
mailing address to which you already wrote (apparently). So 
bringing this attitude here suggests that you are either mad at 
us, the users, for the app not working correctly, or you want to 
waste our time with rants about the company who makes the 
software we're all using.


So which is it?


I can absolutely state, without fail that no image insertion, whether
via the HTML palette button, or dragging from the desktop to a
document or from anywhere is inserting the full HTML markup for an
image tag.


That's not true, because it's working just fine for me.

But what you probably meant is to add, "on my machine, and I'd 
like help understanding why that is while I wait for the very 
busy folks at Bare Bones to get back to me on my support request."


Right?


I get 


There might actually be something of a clue there... when I 
insert an image, I don't get the XML tag-closing thing at the 
end. I hate to ask this (as it will probably just prompt another 
story about the rodeos you've been to), but are you 100% certain 
you're running version 10? :-D



I've shown the BareBones team my support for many, many years with my
money and recommendations.


Why are you telling us this? We don't care. We're all customers.

Around here, the rules of thumb are generally: Ask polite 
questions, get excellent answers from some of the smartest 
people around. Whine too much, and at best you're on your own.



And in all that time, I've never asked for
any support or anything other than a functional app. Which is all I'm
asking for here. If you all don't seem to like how I ask for a
functional app... well.. you didn't need to respond, now did you?


Again, I think you've missed the fact that this is the user 
list, not the support forum.



It's a purchase, and I don't like purchasing products only to receive
defective items. I expect certain hiccups and issue with new release
software. But it's not standard to suddenly be missing core features.


You can take our word for it that this "core feature" is working 
for most of us. If it weren't working during the beta, I 
personally would have reported it, but it is working quite 
nicely OMM. (But then, developers always say that...)


None of what I've said here is a personal attack, though you're 
free to take it that way if you choose to.

Re: Adding \\ to comments

[Seth Dillingham]

Nick,

I'm sorry that I didn't see this until now, but did you ever get 
an answer to this?


The solution, if nobody else told you, is to create your own 
Codeless Language Module. If that's truly the ONLY thing you 
want it to do, then your module is going to be extremely simple.


See here: 


On 12/15/2010, Nick Matzke said:


So when I look at a .tex file (for LaTex) I see that BBedit colors the
formatting words that start with a backslash, e.g.:

\author{Nick Matzke}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\texttt{kruskal.test}

...it colors them blue, which is very nice for readability.

However, I am editing .Snw files, not tex directly, and I only want to
add the blue-color behavior for .Snw files, not other features BBedit
does to .tex feils (e.g. $ this stuff gets colored pink $)

So I can't just copy a tex.plist file (which doesn't exist anyway, I
guess because coloring for tex is default and so specified somewhere
other than /Users/nick/Library/Application\ Support/BBEdit/Language\
Modules/ .

Advice would be very welcome. Cheers!!

Re: #mark in Python

[Seth Dillingham]

On 10/13/2010, Tim Gray said:

I'm sorry. I totally missed that you were talking about perl 
originally. From what I've seen, there is a 'comment marker' 
syntax for TeX, Python, and C variants.  There might be for 
other languages as well, but as you have found, it's terribly 
undocumented.  I found hints of this behavior in old release notes.


I was going to make some joke about knowing the guy who wrote 
these modules, and beating him until he produces an update to 
the perl module which supports something like the Python 
module's #mark. However…


It makes sense that it's on a language by language basis, since 
each language has it's own syntax parser module.  If I were a 
betting man, I'd say this functionality might work for 
Javascript and Ruby as well, amongst others, since the author 
of all of these parsing modules is the same:





Yeah, you caught me.

The Perl module doesn't support it, as BB hasn't done an update 
for it. Perl's syntax is so hairy that I'm not sure anybody 
really wants to touch that module. Let me say that another way: 
perl's syntax is so hairy that I'm sure nobody really wants to 
touch that module.


(It's certainly not my place to say if it will or won't happen, 
though. I can only make those sorts of decisions when I take 
possession of Mr. Siegel's brain, which has proven difficult of late.)


Actually, IMO this has pointed out a bug in the python module, 
too. Needing to use ##mark instead of just #mark is silly, at 
best. (I'm pretty sure that only #mark was required when I first 
wrote it... it may have been altered, intentionally or 
otherwise, at some later time.)

CLM's are very limited at this point.

For syntax coloring, you get the following options:

1. A pattern for describing what a "string" looks like

2. A pattern for describing what a "comment" looks like

3. A static list of keywords.

4. A static list of "predefined names." (These are different 
from keywords because, um... they're called "predefined names." 
See how that works?)

That's it.

So, for your WebDNA [tags], you can either color them as strings 
or comments, or build a complete list of all of the opening and 
closing tags and put that list into the appropriate spot for 
keywords or predefined names.

CLM's can NOT be used for general purpose coloring of whatever 
structures/text-runs you want.

Honestly, if you try to create a CLM that colors [WebDNA] tags 
and , all you will actually produce is a big headache.

The problem here is that there are a limited number of ways to

Your only choices are strings and comments, really. You'd just 
set up the patterns for one of them to color Variables as well.

1. Create a new document, paste in the following lines:

2. Save it at

~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Unix Support/Unix Filters/uudecode.sh

(where "~" is your home directory)

3. Open the uuencode-ed file you want to decode.

4. In the #! menu (called "shebang" 'round here), select Unix

The decoded version should open in a new document. Just copy and

If you want some instructions on writing a CLM (a codeless

You won't get a module with all of the features of a native BBLM

The HTML itself isn't listed in the function popup. It just

The menu next to the file path display at the top of an editing

the file path is already there). It shows four items for copying

Does it have to be a script?

This Grep search pattern:

^.*[^\w\r]?YOUR_WORD_HERE(?:\r|\W.*(?:\r|\Z)|\Z)

Seems like it will find what you want. Use an empty replace pattern.

Even if you do have to use a script for some reason, that grep 
pattern is probably a good starting point.

Or, um, as Steve said... just use Process Lines Containing

Before that release, ActionScript was essentially treated just

Yeah I think my regex was perfect for the problem as first 
described. This little detail would have been helpful (or would 
have let me be more helpful).

Just catching up, I got a big load of messages from the list all 
at once.

Try this:

(?s:<([uo]l)[^>]*>\s*(?>]*>.*?\s*){10,})

Re: How to make my clipping set the default. & stick!

[Seth Dillingham]

On 9/19/2008, Govinda said:

>I really DO want to be able to make my clipping set stay the 'default'
>set

Is it that you always want the same clipping set, no matter what 
language your file is?

Or, is it that you want your custom clipping set to be chosen 
whenever you are working in an HTML file?

The instructions that Jim gave you will only help with the 
former, I think.

If you want your custom clipping set to be chosen whenever you 
open a new HTML document, then it must sort "higher" than the 
default HTML.html set. That's working for me, here.

There is no preference that lets you say, "Please use clipping 
set XYZ whenever I'm working with a file of this language." You 
just need to make sure that your clipping set sorts higher than 
whatever set would otherwise be used for that language.

Do you realize that it's ok to modify the default clipping set? 
You could just add your items to it, or back it up and then 
replace the whole thing.

Have you filed a bug? I know the guy who works on the 
JavaScript/ActionScript module, and will pester him mercilessly 
until he fixes this. But only if you report it to BareBones first.

Re: SQL Language Module Too Old

A new SQL module has come with BBEdit 8.6, 8.7 and 9.0.

Just remove/disable the one mentioned in your log entry, and 
restart BBEdit.

(Note that you *may* need to adjust your language mappings in 
the prefs after you restart BBEdit.)

Confirmed.

Gotta say that's really, really odd (says the guy who knows odd).

Don't worry about sending in a bug report on this one, I've got it.

I use platform shoes while coding the language modules. Does 
that count?

Check your language preferences. You may have two Ruby entries, 
or 0. Fix
that and restart the app.
