I want to use the additionalTextEdits of the autocomplete callback to replace some text.
In some cases, I want to replace a short text with a longer text and expect everything after the short text to get pushed further back.
Example:
Original: abde
Text to insert: ABC, startColumn: 1, endColumn: 3
Expected outcome: ABCde
Actual outcome: ABde
My suspicion is that the editor sees that I want to replace two characters and therefore only takes the first two characters of my provided text.
Is there a way to tell it to replace those two characters with the provided three characters and everything afterwards gets pushed one column back?
Here is the link to the documentation of the property that I use:

I searched everywhere for this, the problem is that the search criteria is very similar to other questions.
The issue I have is that file (script actually) is embedded in another file. So when I open the parent file I can see the script as massive string with several \n and \r\n codes. I need a way to convert these codes to what they should be so that it formats the code correctly then I can read said code and work on it.
Quick snippet:
\n\n\n\n\nlocal scriptingFunctions\n\n\n\n\nlocal measuringCircles = {}\r\nlocal isCurrentlyCheckingCoherency
Should covert to:
local scriptingFunctions
local measuringCircles = {}
local isCurrentlyCheckingCoherency
perform a Regex Find-Replace
Find: (\\r)?\\n
Replace: \n
If you don't need to reconvert from newlines to \n after you're done working on the code, you can accomplish the trick by simply pressing ctrl-f and substituting every occurrence of \n with a new line (you can type enter in the replace box by pressing ctrl-enter or shift-enter).
See an example ctrl-f to do this:
If after you're done working on the code you need to reconvert to \n, you can add an invisible char to the replace string (typing it like ctrl-enter invisibleChar), and after you're done you can re-replace it with \n.
There's plenty of invisible chars, but I'd personally suggest [U+200b] (you can copy it from here); another good one is [U+2800] (⠀), as it renders as a normal whitespace, and thus is noticeable.
A thing to notice is that recent versions of vscode will show a highlight around invisible chars, but you can easily disable it by clicking on Adjust settings and then selecting Exclude from being highlighted.
If you need to reenable highlighting in the future, you'll have to look for "editor.unicodeHighlight.allowedCharacters" in the settings.
I have a text file.
There are hundreds of different filenames in the text file.
However, it says different date and time at the end of each file.
Sample: life-in-cosmos-2021-11-11-12-45-46 or life-in-cosmos-2021-11-11-12-45.
In order to change the names of the files in bulk, I first need to delete the dates in this text file.
So I want to automatically delete the dates and times in each row.
However, I don't know anything about this.
And I don't know how to use macros.
Therefore, if there is a solution for this, can you provide an answer with a picture or video?
In order to explain my request more clearly, I present 2 examples.
Example:
Original Text: cosmos-lights-colors-T5DAPC-2020-09-11
The result I want to do: cosmos-lights-colors-T5DAPC
Example 2:
Original Text: cosmos-lights-colors-T5DAPC-2021-04-02-12-37-49-utc
The result I want to do: cosmos-lights-colors-T5DAPC
Assuming a date is always at end of each line, you can replace a regular expression with an empty string. To do this:
Press Ctrl+H to bring up the Replace dialog box, and set following options:
Find: -[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}[0-9\-]*?(\-utc){0,1}$
Replace with: (blank)
Set the Regular Expressions option
First, click the Find Next button to highlight matches to make sure they are correct. If the matches are incorrect, you will need to adjust the regular expression.
Finally, click the Replace All button to remove all matched strings.
Before replace
cosmos-lights-colors-T5DAPC-2020-09-11
cosmos-lights-colors-T5DAPC-2021-04-02-12-37-49-utc
After replace
cosmos-lights-colors-T5DAPC
cosmos-lights-colors-T5DAPC
I want to add small straight line onto some desired characters/numbers inside a string inside textview. I couldn't find a solution. Maybe using NSMutableAttributedString. Meanwhile, I mean doing this programmatically. There is strikethrough style, but not overstrike style. Or maybe adding the letters "a" and "_" with different .baseline values. But how to add both characters onto each other then?
Is it possible?
EDIT: Due to make a try for the helpful answers below, I think to make the line at a spesific height is needed. "A\u{0305}" makes the up line very close to the character, as if it sticks. Is there a way to make it at specific height? For example, if we assume that all the keyboard-inputted characters are written inside every single boxes, the ceiling side of these boxes could be lined?
So this (note: see edit below) appears to be an "a tilde ogonek" (it's Lithuanian).
You can write it for instance as follows using these two Unicode characters:
let atildeogonek = "\u{0105}\u{0303}"
let title = "How to add a small straight line (I mean like this: \(atildeogonek)) onto a character inside a string?"
The first character is the a with an ogonek, the second one is the tilde.
EDIT: The initial question specifically asked about the character ą̃ ("a tilde ogonek") in the title, and I used this code to demonstrate how to use Unicode characters in a Swift string. After posting this answer, the question was edited to be more general about "a line above a character".
Programmatically, you could use a function like this:
func overline(character: Character) -> Character? {
return "\(character)\u{0305}".first
}
That will take a character as input and return a new character (glyph) that has had the Unicode combining overline character added to it. It will return nil if adding the combining overline character fails.
The code print(overline(character:"A")!), for example, returns "A̅"
Or, if you want to add an overline to every character in a string, you could use a function like this:
func overline(characters: String) -> [Character?] {
return Array(characters).map { return "\($0)\u{0305}".first
}
}
(I'm not sure if there are any characters for which the above will fail, so I'm not sure if force-unwrapping the result is safe. Thus I left the result of both functions to be optional Character/Array of Character.)
You can easily find the unicodes of ā or ą̃ by using the xcode's own Character Viewer. Just follow the following steps :
hit : Control + Command + SpaceBar
If you get a compact one like this, click the upper right corner icon to expand it.
When expanded, Click the settings gear in the corner . Select customize list.
select Enclosed Characters
Go down to the bottom and open Code tables then add Unicode.
Now, just search for your required Character and you can check its unicode value. here i am searching ā
to print unicode's value :
print("\u{0101}")
I have a jTextArea that displays the clicked item from a jTable. I have a running code already and I am able to display the strings into my jTextArea. However, I have an issue whenever I try to remove a string.
So far, below is my code for getting the string value from the clicked item in jTable:
c = jTable2.getModel().getValueAt(jTable2.convertRowIndexToModel(selectedRow), 1).toString(); // this will get the name of product from a table and store it into C variable
The string from above code will be displayed on my jTextArea, as shown below:
jTextArea1.append(c + "\n");
Now, whenever I click an item to my jTable this will be stored into c variable, and the new item will be appended on my jTextArea with next line.
My sample output in jTextArea of this will be:
Apple
Mango
Now, I want to delete a specific string from that jTextArea, which I am able to do so in my current code. I am using this line of code to do that:
jTextArea1.setText(jTextArea1.getText().replaceAll(c, ""));
But then, whenever I clicked my jTable once again to append a new item, it will be appended next to the empty string, sample output is like this:
// from here is the beginning of the jTextArea
Mango
Apple
Now, I got empty strings before the new text is displayed.
In conclusion, I have understood that I never deleted an item from my jTextArea, but what it did was only to replace the string into an empty one. My problem is that I want to be able to append a string, then delete it whenever I need to do so without affecting the other appended strings, and without having an empty string.
Is there any other way to achieve this in replacement of my "replaceAll" line of code?
What you are asking for is analogous to editing a line of text to delete something in the middle. Naturally, you usually do not want a gap. One way to do this would be to copy the line over character by character but with a rule that if a space was preceded by a space it will not be copied (or, if a space comes up and is copied, then only characters will be copied that are not a space in that instance).
You could copy a series of records by reading each string, checking whether it had only spaces in it, and adding that string to the second screen only if it was other than white space.
I have a Word document with fields of the reference variety, which occur in the form "[field].[field]"--in other words, there's a period between the two fields. I want to globally replace this with a space.
Word offers the ^d special character to search for fields, but for some reason the query "^d.^d" does not find anything. However, ".^d" does. Now comes the problem, however--what do I specify as the replacement text in order to retain the field code? If using regular expressions, I could use a "Find What Expression" such as \1, but with regexp ("wild card") mode the ^d is not permitted.
I guess I could write a macro...
I would like to add to Bibadia's solution.
An example of an index entry field; we want to change a name we misspelled.
Make sure hidden formatting is displayed (toggle with SHIFT+CTRL+F8).
Make sure wildcards option is not selected. To search for fields, use the opening and closing field braces code (optionally use ^w for spaces, as Bibadia suggested):^19 XE "Deo, John" ^21
Replace won't recognize field braces character, but will allow to insert the clipboard's content. ;). To do that, insert in text the correct entry. CTRL+F9 to insert field and type:XE "Doe, John"
Select the field above and copy
Use ^c in the replace box
Hit Replace All
Ta-da!
It's usually better to go the macro route when finding fields because, as you say, the find algorithm that Word uses doesn't work the way you might hope with fields.
But if you know exactly what the fields contain, you can specify a search pattern that will probably work (however not in wildcard mode).
For example, if you want to look for figure number field pairs such as
{ STYLEREF 1 \s }.{ SEQ Figure \* ARABIC \s 1 }
(which would typically be the same set of fields everywhere in the document)
If you only really need to look for the following:
{ STYLEREF 1 \s }.<any field>
you could ensure that field codes are displayed and search for
^d STYLEREF 1 \s ^21.^d
or
^19 STYLEREF 1 \s ^21.^19
If you need to be more precise, you can spell out the second field as well.
"^d" only works for finding the field beginning, not the field end.
It's a shame that ^w wants to find at least 1 whitespace character because otherwise it would be more robust to look for
^19^wSTYLEREF^w1^w\s^w^21.^19
Perhaps someone else knows how to work around that without using wildcards?
Torzaburo,
I suggest that you do this using a macro. You can start by recording the macro, and later refining your processing steps within the macro.
First turn on the hidden characters by navigating to Home > Paragraph > toggle the show/hide Paragraph symbol. Also, select all and toggle the field codes on (right-click and select "Toggle Field Codes".
Open a new blank Word doc in addition to the one you have open. You will use this later. Start the macro recording and find the field using the "^d" (field code) as you said.
When the field is found, copy only the field text within the brackets, and not the full field reference. While the macro is still recording, ALT + TAB to the new blank document and paste the field code in as plain text.
At this point, do the necessary find & replace processing to the field codes. Highlight the processed field codes, copy, ALT + TAB back to the original document, and paste back between the { } brackets.
Stop the macro recording. Add any further custom processing to the macro VBA.
Select-All and re-toggle the field codes. Update the field codes.
You don't need a macro. Just toggle all field codes on by using Alt+F9. Then do a find and replace for what you want to change. Once the replacement is complete, use Alt+F9 again to toggle the field codes back off.
Disclaimer: I didn't originate this solution, but it's clean and elegant and I thought it should be included here:
(Adapted from Search & Replace Field Codes in Word):
Create or find a single instance of the field you want to convert text to
Toggle Field Codes visible (AltF9)
Copy the code for the field you want to use to the Clipboard (highlight and CtrlC)
Open the Replace dialog box (CtrlH), insert the text you want to replace in the Find What box and then enter ^c in the Replace With box.
This will replace your text with the contents of the Clipboard, turning it into the field code you copied in step 3. It also copies formatting information (font, color, etc.), to control how the field will appear when hidden. (Caveat: I've tested this with Word 2003 under Windows 7 only.)
Coming in late on this, probably way too late for Beth (sorry Beth). And this may not be quite what Beth was looking for. But for anyone interested ...
It sounds like Beth may have created captions throughout the document using INSERT CAPTION (hence the presence of field codes). This means these captions will have been (automatically) created in CAPTION style.
To globally replace the separator "." with " " (space) in such captions, take two steps:
[1] Go to REFERENCES | INSERT CAPTION, then click on NUMBERING and replace the SEPARATOR "." with "EM-DASH". This will replace all separators in captions for the selected label in the CAPTION Window. If you have other labels in use in the document (e.g. FIGURE), select the other labels one by one and repeat this process.
[2] Do a find/replace searching for special character "em-dash" (^+) in style CAPTION, replacing with " ". Click REPLACE ALL.
Voila!
NOTE: This presumes that em-dash does not appear in the caption text anywhere. If it does, then you'll need to do a pre- and post- "fiddle" to ensure these em-dashes are not touched by the global replace above.
The "pre-fiddle" is to do a global find/replace across captions, replacing the em-dash ("^+") with some other string (e.g. "EM-DASH") that doesn't ever occur in any caption's text. Then you do the separator change as described above. Finally, the "post-fiddle" is to restore the em-dashes that were in the captions, by doing a global replace of the string "EM-DASH" with the actual em-dash character "^+".
