Re: [Tutor] Finding the End of a Def?

[Wayne Watson]

I'm sure with a refresher on Perl, I could write code to do it. However, I'll just use my eyes. Ricardo Aráoz wrote: Wayne Watson wrote: I'm not at all tempted (binding). VBG. Page scroll and a steady eye on the left margin works well for my current purposes. However, I am surprised such a feature doesn't exist.

I've long forgotten most of C, but here's a rough segment of a program: main() ( while (x ==True) (    a =5; ) ... ) If your cursor was on the second "(", pressing a key would take you to the third one. I want something like it for def. Where's the end of the def. Some def blocks are so long it's almost impossible to find where they end. Presuming, of course, that your def statement is followed by another, finding the "next" def would get you there. Other than that... you may just have to figure out how to write your own bindings. HTH, Wayne Does your editor support regular _expression_ search? If it does you just look for a beginning of line followed by any non-blank character (non-comment character too if you want to be fancy), shouldn't be too hard to automate. For defs inside classes you look for a beginning of line, 4 spaces (tab or 8spaces) followed by non-blank char. -- Wayne Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.01 Deg. W, 39.26 Deg.
