It is reproducible, here's how I do it : 1) Create a document and write something like this : foo bar some thing
2) Than add a new external tool with a name and those settings : Save: nothing Input: Current selection Output: Replace current selection Applicability: All documents With this code : #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; while (<>) { chomp; print $item." "; } And save the new tool 3) Select the text in the document 4) Use your new tool from the Tools menu. At that point in Karmic, the text was replaced with the right output that would be the highlighted text on a single line separated with spaces. In Lucid, it outputs the results in a console on the bottom tab. If it helps, this is an upgrade from Karmic. -- gedit external tools replace selection goes into a shell output tab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
