Hello everyone,
This is my first posting here. I am glad that there is an active community helping each other for sublime text, which is my favorite text editor.
Here is my question.
What I want to achieve is
- find all the occurrences of a string in a specific file(or current buffer)
- and show the occurrences(not the whole line that contains the occurrence) as a list in a separate pane
- and each line of the result comes with the context of neighboring characters(not neighboring lines) of each occurence
- and each line in the result is clickable so that I can jump to the place
The reason I want this is I have a big text file with each line being quite long like a couple of thousands of characters and the current Find in Files with “Current File” limit shows lines, which makes the result almost useless.
Of course I can Find All with a regex such as “.{0,20}needle.{0,20}” and copy and paste the result into a new file, but then I cannot click and jump to the place from the result.
I have searched for any plugin that provides this feature but failed. Any suggestions?
One idea I tried was installing https://packagecontrol.io/packages/CopyWithLineNumbersReloaded and copy the Find All result with line numbers into a new text file, but I can’t click and jump from the result.
