Ultra edit find word in file macro8/20/2023 As I already wrote, you can either with regular expression replaces from within the script change the format of the results, or you define the format of the results before running the script on the file with the lines to find at Advanced - Configuration - Search - Set Find Output Format. If output window is not open, open it with Window - Output Window and check if you can see Script succeeded in the output window and not an error message.The script is now executed and you should see a new file with the results of the Find in Files commands executed by the script for every line of active file on script execution.Open menu Scripting and click on the name of the script file.Open the file containing the lines you want find in the other files, or for first testing the script, create a new file and enter some lines which exist in the *.txt files in the specified folder.Open Scripting - Script List and add the just saved script to this list.A good place is usually the Scripts folder in the UltraEdit program files directory if you have write access to this folder with your account. Press F12 to open Save As dialog and save the script file to any folder you want.If you modify the path, you must enter 2 backslashes for every backslash in the path and the path must end with 2 backslashes. Second change the path to the folder containing the *.txt files if you have not moved the files into folder C:\Temp\.First change the file type specification to *.txt.Go to the lines with folder and file type specification.Switch back to UltraEdit and press Ctrl+V to paste the code into the new file.Select the script code in your browser window and press Ctrl+C.Otherwise you would need the commands in submenu File - Conversions to convert the file to ASCII with DOS line terminators. If you see on the status bar at bottom of the UltraEdit window in third box just DOS, the new file is an ASCII file with DOS line terminators. Make sure the new file is an ASCII file with DOS line terminators.Create a new file in UltraEdit by pressing Ctrl+N if a new file is not already displayed after starting UltraEdit.of this file and convert the file from Unicode to ASCII/ANSI. The results file is the active file now. If (!asLines.length) continue // Ignore empty lines. the searched string, but also additional characters left and/or right.įor (var nLineNum = 0 nLineNum < asLines.length nLineNum++) So it can be that also lines are found which contains not make sure that the found string is really an entire line in the Run a Find in Files for all lines in active document. =false // Run a non regular expression search. =false // Do not search in subdirectories. =false // Output find result to edit window. =false // Do not find lines not containing search string. =false // Do not open files with string found. =false // Search for strings and not entire words. =false // Do not find files not containing searched string. Define parameters for the Find in Files executed below in a loop for every line. The following command works only for files with DOS line terminators! Select all and load the file contents into an array of lines. If (typeof(lumnModeOff) = "function") lumnModeOff() Įlse if (typeof() = "function") () Define the environment for the script. Therefore I have not added any code to reformat the results file.Ĭode: Select all if ( > 0) I don't know which UltraEdit you use (especially which language) and how the results file should look. The format of the results can be either changed with additional script code by running 1 or more regular expression replaces (best method) or by modifying the options at Advanced - Configuration - Search - Set Find Output Format. You have to change in the script the directory path C:\\Temp\\ (must end with a backslash escaped with an additional backslash) and probably also the file type *.* The results of all Find in Files are written to an edit window. In the output window you can see in which files the string was found if found at all.įor many lines to find here is the script running a Find in Files for all lines in the active document on script start. Define the other parameters like file type (*.*) and the directory and run the search. A dialog opens where selected string is already set as string to search for. Select a string to search for and then click on the command in the menu. If you need this only once and there are not many strings in the base file, I suggest to use Find in Files command from menu Search. Yes, it is possible, but requires coding a script or macro.
