I want to search and bookmark multiple string at a same time because it will save a lot of my time.
I have a huge text file of 12gb it has 214M lines. I wish to search and bookmark the lines which contains any one of the following;
gmail
yahoo
aol
hotmail
comcast
Its taking huge time to search and bookmark each one of them I was wondering if there was a way to do it in a single go.
You can use the Batch Find feature of EmEditor. To do this:
In EmEditor, click Ctrl+F to bring up the Find dialog box.
Click the Batch >> button if the dialog box has not been extended already.
Copy all the text you want to search for, separated by a newline, (In your sample, copy all 5 lines, between gmail and comcast) to the Clipboard.
Press Ctrl+V after you click the Batch list on the right side of the Find dialog box.
If necessary, press Ctrl+A, right-click on the list, and select Match Case or Match Whole Word.
Click the "Batch Bookmark" button.

While editing / reviewing a large word document (doc/docx) document, I was searching for a way to jump back to the previously edited text or line but couldn't find any button enabling me to do so.
Has anybody a solution for this?
You can use the predefined commands "Next Edit" and "Previous Edit". You can for example add these commands in one of the tabs of the ribbon.
For this, right-click the ribbon and select "Customize the Ribbon..."
Select to chhose the command from "All Commands" and use the right-hand side to define where the buttons for the commands shall be placed:
I'm a NotePad++ user, new to TextMate.
There are some features that I really like in NP++ but couldn't figure out if TextMate support them.
Double click on a variable and have all instances highlighted
View 2 text windows side by side
Drag a file onto another opened Window
For this one, I don't know how to generate a screenshot ;-p. Basically, you can drag a file from Windows Explorer and drop it into NP++ to have it opened.
A lot of long time TextMate users are leaving TextMate land, actually. So, I'm not sure it's the right time to move to TextMate.
Emacs and Vim both do what you want and more. If you can afford the learning curve it's definitely worth it.
As for your question:
View 2 text windows side by side
You can have two or more windows for the same document. Assuming you are in a "project" right-click your file in the drawer and choose Open "foo.ext" in New Window. The two "views" contents are more or less in sync but doing cool things like columnar editing tends to break the syncing.
Due to how Mac OS X manages windows, the new window will probably be too large/too small and/or placed in a less than useful place. I use ShiftIt system wide to manage my windows and in such a case have them the same size side by side.
Double click on a variable and have all instances highlighted
What do you use this for? Is this visual highlight or non-contiguous selection?
Type ctrlw to select the word, then ⌘e to make the word your search term, then ⇧⌘f or Edit > Find > Find in Project… It will show all instances of the search term in another window. You can then "jump" to any occurence and do whatever you want.
If you only want to jump from occurence to occurence, select the word then type ⌘e then ⌘g to jump to the next occurence.
Another way is to type ctrls, a little text field appears at the bottom of your window where you can type a word and see its first occurence selected in real time. Repeatly typing ctrls will cycle through the occurences.
Drag a file onto another opened Window
You can drag & drop a file on TextMate's icon in the Dock. You can also right-click the file and choose Open with TextMate *or Open with…*. If you are in a "project" you can right-click and choose Add Existing Files…. Opening multiple files in TextMate will automatically create a "project" for you.
View 2 text windows side by side
I just tried this and it doesn't seem to recognize this functionality. the only time any sort of "add" icon came up was when I dragged the file into an open document and then released, but that resulted in adding the contents of the file into the document.
I just did a quick google search for "textmate split view" and it still doesn't seem to be supported according to some of the answers i found (one from macromates wiki).
Double click on a variable and have all instances highlighted
This also doesn't seem to be supported. This post suggests using the command + f (find), put the word into find, then command + g to jump to the next instance of that word.
There are definitely some things that can be added to textmate to make it more robust. If you are looking for something similar and are on a windows machine, you should check out e text editor. I loved that editor when I was working on a windows machine - split view is supported, but not sure about the highlighting. One thing that e also beats out textmate is the real time regular expression highlighting.
HI
I understand that we can search specific word/Variable in VS2010 editor. For example, If I used a variable called (MyTest) and I want to count how many times I used this variable/word in the code of say (10000) lines.
If possible, how can we do it in the current form or count the word in all form the project?
Thanks!
Assuming you wont to search for "MyVariable" press Ctrl+H and the Find/Replace Dialog should open. Enter "MyVariable" into the "Find what" field and again into the "Replace with" field. Set the Scope to "Current Document" and press the "Replace all" button. A message will popup telling "xxx occurrence(s) replaced.", where xxx is the number you are looking for.
Press the "undo"-Button once, if you want to revert the document-state to unchanged.
Can you not highlight the variable and press Shift+F12? This will tell you all of the matches found.
If you want to find the text "MyTest", here is a hacky way to do it.
Use the find dialog (CTRL F) to search for the text. You can modify the scope. eg Document, project etc
Click Bookmark all
Then open the Bookmarks window (View-Bookmark window) to see a list of all the bookmarks. It doesn't show the total number but you could easily count them manually here.
Ctrl + Shift + F to pull up the Find in Files dialog
Enter your search variable name and scope (document, project, solution etc)
Find all
Scroll to the bottom of the resulting Find Results and you'll see Matching lines: xxx
In TextMate, does anyone know how you find & replace selected text?
Is this what you're looking for? http://manual.macromates.com/en/working_with_text
4.5.2 Find Clipboard
Two useful key equivalents are ⌘E and
⌘G. The first copies the selection to
the shared find clipboard. This works
in the majority of applications and
allows you to find the next occurrence
of that string by then pressing ⌘G.
The find clipboard works across
applications so whether in Safari,
TextEdit, Mail, TextMate, Terminal,
Console, or similar, one can copy the
selected text to the find clipboard,
switch application and use ⌘G to find
that string.
In addition TextMate offers ⇧⌘E to
copy the selection to the replace
clipboard. This is often useful to
save a trip to the find dialog, for
example if you want to replace
newlines with the pipe character (|)
for a list of items, select a newline,
press ⌘E to use that as the find
string. Now type a |, select it and
press ⇧⌘E so that it is copied to the
replace clipboard.
The next step is then to either press
⌃⌘F to perform the replacement in the
entire document, or select the range
in which you want the replacement to
occur and use ⌃⇧⌘F instead.
Often, when I am reading code or debugging, I want the ability to quickly jump around files. I especially want to "go back" to where I was. I know about "Command+T", "Command+Shift+T", and, bookmarks. But, I cannot figure out a way to jump around files quickly.
UPDATE: I do not think I my question was clear enough judging by two answers given. Specifically, I am looking for a way to "jump back" to where I was in a file. I know how to navigate in TextMate (in general). I want to know if TextMate has a "jump back" key binding.
It's subtle.
The command-T thing has the files listed in Most Recently Used order.
So, you can go command-T return to get back to your last file real quick. At first I couldn't find it either.
I don't think there's a go to last edit location as there is in, say, IDEA/RubyMine.

2.3 Moving Between Files (With Grace)
When working with projects there are a few ways to move between the open files.
The most straightforward way is by clicking on the file tab you need. This can also be done from the keyboard by pressing ⌘1-9, which will switch to file tab 1-9.
You can also use ⌥⌘← and ⌥⌘→ to select the file tab to the left or right of the current one.
It is possible to re-arrange the file tabs by using the mouse to drag-sort them (click and hold the mouse button on a tab and then drag it to the new location). This should make it possible to arrange them so that keyboard switching is more natural.
One more key is ⌥⌘↑ which cycles through text files with the same base name as the current file. This is mainly useful when working with languages which have an interface file (header) and implementation file (source).
When you want to move to a file which is not open you can use the Go to File… action in the Navigation menu (bound to ⌘T). This opens a window like the one shown below.
Go To File
This window lists all text files in the project sorted by last use, which means pressing return will open (or go to) the last file you worked on. So using it this way makes for easy switching to the most recently used file.
You can enter a filter string to narrow down the number of files shown. This filter string is matched against the filenames as an abbreviation and the files are sorted according to how well they match the given abbreviation. For example in the picture above the filter string is otv and TextMate determines that OakTextView.h is the best match for that (by placing it at the top).
The file I want is OakTextView.mm which ranks as #2. But since I have already corrected it in the past, TextMate has learned that this is the match that should go together with the otv filter string, i.e. it is adaptive and learns from your usage patterns.
If you have a project window open, you can leave frequently-accessed files open (in tabs), and then use ⌘+1-9 to jump to open tabs.
