How to reduce time in livecode - livecode

I need to preserve some text, so i get that text from scrolling field and stored in arrays and variables before my editing, after my editing, i restore the text in that places. I am using this code for this process, it works fine but it tooks lot of time. How to reduce that time?

Is there any alternate way to do this?.

It looks like you're doing all the text replacement in a field. You should put the text content into a variable first, do all your replacing there, then put the variable's contents back into the field.

How to ignore a scape of a word character in a python string with two consecutive apostrophe

Escape Issue
Hello all,
I have the bellow python string and I am trying to basically to ignore the '' scape characters. My Goal is to have the two single apostrophe before and after the DD but the raw string is not working as expected as seen in the image. Is there a way I could make them appear as I am expecting ?
r"""hello my name is "John" I cannot remove ''DD'' the escape character in order to show
the two single quotes together"""
Thanks,
I tried using replacements functions and other methods that I researched and non worked as expected.
chars = r""""John" ''DD''"""
chars # '"John" \'\'DD\'\''
'"John" \'\'DD\'\''
Above you see escaped inner single quotes (apostrophes) because the output is presented as single-quoted string. In fact, there are no reverse solidi (backslashes) in the chars string:
len(chars) # 13
print( chars) # "John" ''DD''
"John" ''DD''
Another proof (chars string as a sequence characters):
import unicodedata
for jj, char in enumerate( chars):
print( f'{jj:3}', char, unicodedata.name(char,'???'))
0 " QUOTATION MARK
1 J LATIN CAPITAL LETTER J
2 o LATIN SMALL LETTER O
3 h LATIN SMALL LETTER H
4 n LATIN SMALL LETTER N
5 " QUOTATION MARK
6 SPACE
7 ' APOSTROPHE
8 ' APOSTROPHE
9 D LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D
10 D LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D
11 ' APOSTROPHE
12 ' APOSTROPHE

How can I cut text in AppleScript and BBEdit?

In a text file given the following text:
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
with AppleScript and BBEdit I'd like to be able to cut the day Sunday and move it before Monday but when I reference the BBEdit dictionary I see the ability to cut:
when I try to cut the text and add it before the line I get an error:
BBEdit got an error: "Sunday" doesn’t understand the “cut” message.
the code:
tell application "BBEdit"
set theFile to "foobar.txt"
select insertion point before first character of text document theFile
repeat
set theWeekend to find "(?<=Saturday\\n)Sunday" searching in text 1 of text document theFile options {search mode:grep} with selecting match
if theWeekend is not found then exit repeat
set theWeekend to found text of theWeekend
select insertion point before first character of text document theFile
set beforeMon to find "(?!<=Sunday\\n)Monday" searching in text 1 of text document theFile options {search mode:grep} with selecting match
if beforeMon is found then
set beforeMon to found text of beforeMon
set theLine to startLine of selection
set addDay to select insertion point before first character of line theLine of text document theFile
set thePull to cut theWeekend ## where error occurs
set before line theLine of text of text document theFile to (theWeekend & return)
end if
end repeat
end tell
If I comment out set thePull to cut theWeekend the script works in a continuous loop and places Sunday before Monday but I can't break the loop because my grep variable theWeekend is still false.
Other failed attempts:
cut selection of (theWeekend)
cut theWeekend
cut theWeekend of selection
cut selection of contents of (theWeekend)
cut contents of theWeekend
In BBEdit and AppleScript how can I cut the day and move it?
The error is that the theWeekend variable contains a string, not a reference to a string.
The cut command need a reference to a (character, word or line) in the document, like this:
cut characters 51 thru 56 of text document 1
cut line 7 of text document 1
cut word 7 of text document 1
cut selection -- or this
So use the found object property instead of the found text.
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
tell text document "foobar.txt"
select insertion point before first character
repeat
set theWeekend to find "(?<=Saturday\\n)Sunday" searching in text 1 options {search mode:grep} with selecting match
if theWeekend is not found then exit repeat
select insertion point before first character
set beforeMon to find "(?!<=Sunday\\n)Monday" searching in text 1 options {search mode:grep} with selecting match
if beforeMon is found then
cut (found object of theWeekend) -- the cut command returns nothing, it's useless to put the result in a variable
set before (found object of beforeMon) to (found text of theWeekend) & return
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
Here is a modified version of your code that worked for me in testing:
I removed the set theWeekend to found text of theWeekend line completely, while modifying:
set before line theLine of text of text document theFile to (theWeekend & return)
To:
set before line theLine of text of text document theFile to (found text of theWeekend & linefeed)
theWeekend in this case is a list returned from the find command, leave it as a list because you actually need to use two of the properties from it.
found text in this instance and also found object in the set thePull to cut ... line above this.
I typically use linefeed instead of return because in some instances, although not this one, the latter does end up as 0D instead of 0A. In other words, it ends up as a \r and not what is typical, \n in macOS documents.
I also changed set thePull to cut theWeekend, to:
set thePull to cut (found object of theWeekend)
Reworked AppleScript code:
tell application "BBEdit"
set theFile to "foobar.txt"
select insertion point before first character of text document theFile
repeat
set theWeekend to find "(?<=Saturday\\n)Sunday" searching in text 1 of text document theFile options {search mode:grep} with selecting match
log theWeekend
if theWeekend is not found then exit repeat
select insertion point before first character of text document theFile
set beforeMon to find "(?!<=Sunday\\n)Monday" searching in text 1 of text document theFile options {search mode:grep} with selecting match
if beforeMon is found then
set beforeMon to found text of beforeMon
set theLine to startLine of selection
set addDay to select insertion point before first character of line theLine of text document theFile
set thePull to cut (found object of theWeekend)
set before line theLine of text of text document theFile to (found text of theWeekend & return)
end if
end repeat
end tell

How to wrap each line in quotes in SublimeText?

Input:
boston beach summer figural yellow blue
boston floral flowers still still-life food pink figural
boston horse pink purple house flowers floral figural
Expected output:
"boston beach summer figural yellow blue"
"boston floral flowers still still-life food pink figural"
"boston horse pink purple house flowers floral figural"
The actual input file has 600+ lines, and I'm looking at a quick way to wrap each line in quotes? Does the method involve using multiple cursors? How about macros?
I would use a multiple cursors approach like this:
Windows
Ctrl + A (Select everything)
Ctrl + Shift + L (Split into lines)
End (Put the cursor at the end of the line)
" (Add the quote at the end of the line)
Home (Go to the first character of the line)
Home (Go to the beginning of the line... like if you have tabs or spaces)
" (Add the quote at the beginning of the line)
Mac
Cmd + A (Select everything)
Cmd + Shift + L (Split into lines)
Cmd + → (Put the cursor at the end of the line)
" (Add the quote at the end of the line)
Cmd + ← (Go to the first character of the line)
Cmd + ← (Go to the beginning of the line... like if you have tabs or spaces)
" (Add the quote at the beginning of the line)
Method 1:
no multiple cursors
+ best performance (use for large files)
- slightly clumsy
Replace (.*) with "\1"
Method 2:
multiple cursors
+ best in regards to usability/comfort
- slower for bigger files
- wont work if the file has empty lines
Ctrl+a, Ctrl+Shift+l, "
Method 3:
multiple cursors
+ close to #2 as usability, but works always
- slower for bigger files
Ctrl+a, Ctrl+Shift+l, End, ", Home, "
None of these worked in Sublime Text 3 for a multi-column TSV file with tab spacing.
I found this worked for column 1:
Find: ^\s*\S+
Replace: "$0"

How do you apply a macro x amount of times per line where x depends on the line

Say I have something like
a & 1234567890
b & 1234567890
c & 1234567890
d & 1234567890
e & 1234567890
f & 1234567890
Is there a way to use a vim macro such that I can run a macro/command x amount of times per line, where x depends on the line?
In this case, I run 2wx^ on each line x times, where x is the line number such that the result becomes
a & 234567890
b & 34567890
c & 4567890
d & 567890
e & 67890
f & 7890
Thanks in advance
If your macro is recorded in register q, then you can run:
:exec 'normal ' . line('.') . '#q'
on any line you want. Your macro will want the cursor kept on 1st column before being run.
You can also probably do it - better - in a different way, if you describe what you want to do. For example, perhaps you could skip the macro altogether and use something like this instead:
:exec 'normal ^2w' . line('.') . 'xj'
If you need a line offset (e.g. of 1), you could use:
:let nr = line('.') - 1 | execute 'normal ^2w' . nr . 'xj'

Vim: Replace n with n+1

How do I replace every number n that matches a certain pattern with n+1? E.g. I want to replace all numbers in a line that are in brackets with the value+1.
1 2 <3> 4 <5> 6 7 <8> <9> <10> 11 12
should become
1 2 <4> 4 <6> 6 7 <9> <10> <11> 11 12
%s/<\zs\d\+\ze>/\=(submatch(0)+1)/g
By way of explanation:
%s " replace command
"""""
< " prefix
\zs " start of the match
\d\+ " match numbers
\ze " end of the match
> " suffix
"""""
\= " replace the match part with the following expression
(
submatch(0) " the match part
+1 " add one
)
"""""
g " replace all numbers, not only the first one
Edit:
If you only want to replace in specific line, move your cursor on that line, and execute
s/<\zs\d\+\ze>/\=(submatch(0)+1)/g
or use
LINENUMs/<\zs\d\+\ze>/\=(submatch(0)+1)/g
(replace LINENUM with the actual line number, eg. 13)
In vim you can increment (decrement) the numeric digit on or after the cursor by pressing
NUMBER<ctrl-a> to add NUMBER to the digit
(NUMBER<ctrl-x> to substract NUMBER from the digit)
If only incrementing (decrementing) by one you don't need to specify NUMBER. In your case I would use a simple macro for this:
qaf<<ctrl-a>q
100<altgr-q>a
Here a brief explanation of the macro: It uses the find (f) commant to place the cursor on the opening < bracket. It is not necessary to position the cursor on the digit. When press the number on the cursor or the nearest number after the cursor will get incremented.
If you want an even shorter series of commands you can position your curser ONCE by pressing f<, increment the number with ctrl-a and then just repeatedly press ;.. The ; command repeats the last cursor movement i.e. the find command. The . command repeats the last text changing command.
Check out this link for further information or use the built in documentation: h: ctrl-a.
