RegReplace Plugin

#41

I’m always hesitant to ask you for new features – it feels like enabling an addict :smile:

(I am referring to the insane speed with which you respond to both messages and bugs & suggestions.)

I wanted to be able to fold all comments, so I added the fold/unfold a while ago…[/quote]

I’m tinkering with a todo list (of all things!) and I want to fold some meta-data, but the gist is the same. Because I have a “nervous” Ctrl+S, it seemed reasonable (?) to use “on_save” as a trigger for this. This is such a niche thing.

I’ve created the following, but nothing happens.

In the “reg_replace.sublime-settings”:

// CONVERT TO LESS - STEPH
“lessrewrite_width”: {
“find”: “(\t*)^-]\bwidth\b: (-?[0-9]*%|-?[0-9]px|auto|-?[0-9]);”,
“replace”: “$1.w($2);”
}

in the “Default.sublime-commands”:

// Convert rewrite CSS to LESS - Steph
{
“caption”: “Reg Replace: CSS to LESS”,
“command”: “reg_replace”,
“args”: {“replacements”: “lessrewrite_width”]}
},

I thought I did it correctly, but what am I missing?

Please give me a snippet of example code and the description of what you want to happen.

I want to use the RegEx in the replace to change this:

 [code]width: 250px;[/code]

to this:

[code].w(250px);[/code]

Once I get one working, my goal is to chain a number of them together so that I can convert a whole document instead of spending time inputing all the RegEx piece by piece.
I’m attaching the LESS document I’m trying to run this on, and the RegReplace files I modified.

Two things. Python uses \1 instead of $1. And your regex is in a string so escape literal backslashes.

[pre=#2D2D2D] // CONVERT TO LESS - STEPH
“lessrewrite_width”: {
“find”: “(\t*)^-]\bwidth\b: (-?[0-9]*%|-?[0-9]px|auto|-?[0-9]);”,
“replace”: “\1.w(\2);”
}[/pre]

Thanks for the info about the RegEx, I didn’t realize it was Python.

So I updated my code with your suggestion, but nothing happens when I run it from the Command Palette, or am I supposed to run it from somewhere else?

I verified the code before I posted; that is why I asked for an example.

I did not run it on the ads_ca-fr_home.less you provided because there are no width attributes that need to be converted in it; therefore, it would do nothing. So if that is the file you are testing on, you are wasting your time because width is already converted in every instance in that file.

Also, if you are still having issues, I may need some more info. It should work fine from command palette. But if it isn’t, you may be doing something odd, so I would need to know how you installed the package, are you editing the default version of the settings file, or did you copy it to user and edit that one. I may need to see your settings file to verify what you have done. Based on what you gave me, it should work, and did for me. If it isn’t working for you, then something else isn’t right on your end.

I just found your plugin, and it looks really helpful!

For my needs, I’m trying to simply get a command mapped to a key binding, and have it fold all functions (and only functions) in PHP files, which are structured like:

/**
 * Docblock for function.
 */
function example_function($param) {
  return $param;
}

The built-in code folding folds all comments, too, which is annoying in my workflow. Therefore I’m trying to add the command “fold_functions”, and I think I’m getting hung up somewhere; it’s not clear if I need to define the ‘fold’ action in the command itself, and then how to run the “fold_functions” command without the key binding (which I might also have set up incorrectly).

Here’s my customizations:

Inside Default.sublime-commands (which Sublime opened when I chose Sublime > Preferences > Package Settings > Reg Replace > Commands - User):

{
    {
        "caption": "Code Folding: Fold All Functions",
        "command": "fold_functions",
        "keys": "shift+super+0"],
        "args": {"replacements": "fold_functions"], "action": "fold"}
    },
}

Inside reg_replace.sublime-settings (which Sublime opened when I chose Sublime > Preferences > Package Settings > Reg Replace > Commands - User):

{
    // Fold all functions.
    "fold_functions": {
        "find": "^function\\b(.*?(\\n))+.*?\\}",
        "greedy": false,
        "case": false
    }
}

It’s a little confusing to me, but I’ve also only started using Sublime a few weeks ago, so I’m trying to understand the system.

I have the following usecase:
find hex colors with uppercase letters: #([A-F\d]+)
replace uppercase letters with lower ones: #\L$1\E
I expect to find #FF00AA and replace it with #ff00aa, which works as expected when i test it from sublime’s Find and replace dialog.
Given the following settings I get a literal replace with #\L$1\E

"css_lowercase_hex_colors": {
  "find"    : "#([A-F\\d]+)",
  "replace" : "#\\L$1\\E",
  "greedy"  : true,
  "case"    : true,
  "literal" : false
}

Is this Oniguruma feature supposed to be working with RegReplace?

RegReplace uses the python re engine (mainly because the ST find API is very awkward for RegReplace to access due to the way RegReplace works, and I didn’t want to use the ST API in half of the code, and re in the other half).

[quote=“vitaLee”]I have the following usecase:
find hex colors with uppercase letters: #([A-F\d]+)
replace uppercase letters with lower ones: #\L$1\E [/quote]

RegReplace, since it uses re, requires groups to be specified as \1 not $1. So, #\L\1\E would be more appropriate (in a string you would obviously escape the slashes).

But you still won’t get your desired effect because re does not support Oniguruma.

I can see the desire to use Oniguruma though…maybe down the line I can implement this with a third party package like github.com/mitsuhiko/ponyguruma, or at the very least create some kind of system to allow users to write scripts to manipulate the regex groups format on replace.

Hopefully, that answered your questions, and while I don’t have an immediate fix to allow you to do what you want, maybe down the line. Feel free to make this suggestion on Github at the RegReplace repo.

I guessed that could be the reason for this.
Thanks anyway.

What are my options for running a RegReplace replacement on a batch of 360 files?

Right now? Probably something like sublimes built in batch find/replace, or some other kind of batch search and replace tool, I use grepWin on windows.

Hi, I hope ‘facelessuser’ can answer me this:

i’m trying to use this snippet:

// busca consultas SQL y las encierra en query("consulta") "wrap_sql_in_query": { "scope": "sql", "find" : "((\"|')(delete|select|insert|update)\\s+\\w\\s=,.'\\$;\\(\\)+-<>|]+(\"|'))", "replace": "query(\\1)", "greedy_replace": true, "case" : false },

I have that in /home/user/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/RegReplace/reg_replace.sublime-settings

in /home/user/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/RegReplace/Default.sublime-commands

i have:

{ "caption": "Reg Replace: Update PG to ADODB", "command": "reg_replace", "args": {"replacements": "wrap_sql_in_query", "update_pg_to_adodb", "update_pg_to_adodb1", "update_pg_result", "comment_pg_exec"], "find_only": true} },

but no results are highlighted, i tested the regex in both pythex.org/ and it worked fine (removing the escape )

the test case is:

$consulta    = "select consdocdeu,fechacompro from compromi where estado ='A' and fechacompro <= date(now()) -1  ";

and the expected result is:

$consulta    = query("select consdocdeu,fechacompro from compromi where estado ='A' and fechacompro <= date(now()) -1  ");

is like the backslashes aren’t working, but if i remove the backslashes sublime tells:

thank you!

What language (syntax) is your code in?

I threw this in PHP real quick.

Notice I removed the “sql” scope, because at least in PHP, the string did not scope to “sql”.

[pre=#232628] // busca consultas SQL y las encierra en query(“consulta”)
“wrap_sql_in_query”: {
// “scope”: “sql”,
“find” : “((”|’)(delete|select|insert|update)\s+\w\s=,.’\$;\(\)±<>|]+("|’))",
“replace”: “query(\1)”,
“greedy_replace”: true,
“case” : false
},[/pre]

You didn’t provide me with the other commands, so I reformatted the command to only call the wrap command you gave me.

[pre=#232628] {
“caption”: “Reg Replace: Wrap SQL Query”,
“command”: “reg_replace”,
“args”: {“replacements”: “wrap_sql_in_query”], “find_only”: true}
},[/pre]

It turned this:

[pre=#232628]<?

$consulta = "select consdocdeu,fechacompro from compromi where estado =‘A’ and fechacompro <= date(now()) -1 ";

?>[/pre]

To this just fine:

[pre=#232628]<?

$consulta = query("select consdocdeu,fechacompro from compromi where estado =‘A’ and fechacompro <= date(now()) -1 ");

?>[/pre]

Maybe removing the scope is all you need to do? Maybe there is something wrong with the additional commands you did not provide me with? I don’t know since you did not provide me enough information. But there is nothing wrong with the regex, and since I don’t know what syntax language you are using, I cannot be sure whether the sql scope requirement is helpful or not, but it is a hindrance in stock PHP.

Removing the scope did the trick!,
thank you and excellent plugin, i though scope mean ‘group these regex’ its the scope mean for file types??

thank you again

It applies to the highlight scoping. For instance, if you want the regex to only be applied to “strings”, you set the scope as “string”. Then RegReplace finds all of the parts of your file that are of the “string” scope, and applies the regex to them individually.

Like if I want to target strings for changing their quote style:

[pre=#232628] // Swap quotes
“swap_quotes_to_single”: {
“scope”: “string”,
“find” : “^”(.?)"$",
“replace”: “’\1’”,
“greedy_replace”: false
},
“escape_single_quotes”: {
“scope”: “string”,
“find” : “^(”.?(?<!\\))((?:\\]{2}))’(.?")$",
“replace”: “\1\2\’\3”,
“greedy_replace”: false,
“multi_pass_regex”: true
},
“unescape_double_quotes”: {
“scope”: “string”,
“find” : “^(’.?(?<!\\))((?:\\]{2}))\\”(.*?’)$",
“replace”: “\1\2”\3",
“greedy_replace”: false,
“multi_pass_regex”: true
},[/pre]

[pre=#232628] // Flip Quotes
{
“caption”: “Replace: Swap Quotes to Single”,
“command”: “reg_replace”,
“args”: {“replacements”: “escape_single_quotes”, “swap_quotes_to_single”, “unescape_double_quotes”], “find_only”: true}
},[/pre]

etc.

Hope that helps.
