Texteditor line by line

[ilbarbax]

How can I handle the texteditor line by line?

The only actual solution I found is to copy the text into a table where each table item is a texteditor line being split by chr(10).
Once modified I rewrite the entire texteditor text by merging the table lines.

This is not a good solution as I duplicate the data and I have a double handling.

I'm also in difficulties to set the Area Mark because it requires the character count of all previous line characters.

Any hint..

thanks

What do you mean by "handle the texteditor line by line"? Do you want to extract a single line of text from a text editor widget?

Correct, i.e extract line 12 modify and then rewrite back (may be with a different length).

I think it's a TextEditor.mcc limitation. It currently doesn't seem to have a way for getting the absolute character position for a line index and vice versa. Complain here: https://github.com/amiga-mui/texteditor/issues

Of course, it's possible to do this manually by getting Texteditor.Text and then scanning for linefeeds but that's of course a lot of overhead... it should be TextEditor.mcc's job to provide this...
