I often want to find uncommented print statements in my (Python) file. I have a simple regex ^\s*print that does the job. Is there a way to assign this to a keyboard shortcut so it will Find the next uncommented print, without me having to enter the regex?
My first thought was to create a command that will find it, but I don't have a way to move the cursor to the line once I find it.
You can use the Macro feature inside TextMate:
Go to Bundles > Macros > Start Recording (⌥⌘M)
Perform a single find command with your regex
Go to Bundles > Macros > Stop Recording (⌥⌘M)
Go to Bundles > Macros > Save Last Recording (⌃⌘M)
Save your macro with a suitable name and keyboard shortcut into which ever bundle you like. A nice idea would be to save it into the default Python Bundle, so that the keyboard shortcut is only available when you have a Python file open.

I'm fairly new to Ruby, so please excuse me if my question is too basic...
I wrote a program that searches a text file for certain values.
The way it works is that when I run the program from command line it asks for the file to search through. So I drag the file over to the command window and press Enter. The program takes over and does what it's supposed to... I also created an exe file using Ocra just so I don't have to run it from command line.
It works great, but I want to take it a step further. How can I modify my program to be able to double click the text file in Windows and have my program automatically open and do it's search?
I have custom Alfred workflow to File Filter some folders of my choice. I have two actions - to browse with Alfred, and, with CMD modifier, to open in Sublime.
I want to have an action where I may choose which program I want to open it in. I use 2-3 programs for basic editing, so I want to be able to select one of these.
Workflow would be:
start my workflow
enter few chars to find file
select a file with CMD
choose editor of choice from the list
How to implement the last thing? In other words, how to implement incremental actions e.g. "do this with this and then this".
There're two ways to do it.
Because you can choose which application will be used to open the file instead of the default one. A simple idea is using different keyword for each application. e.g. vim [file-name] for vim while sublime [file-name] for sublime.
Another way is using Run Script instead of Open File. An Apple script or Bash script can get the result in File Filter and open different application as you wish.
I have perl scripts which were running in Windows 7 just fine as of this morning. I made the mistake of using NotePad as the default for opening/editng my .pl files. Now, when I attempt to run the unedited .pl files from a DOS prompt, the script does not execute but opens the associated source code file in Windows Explorer. This is the same for all my .pl files no matter the complexity (including classic "hello world".
I have been researching changes need to the registry - it all looks fine. Tried assoc and ftype changes - nothing. Tried reinstalling ActivePerl - no solution.
You don't need to go into the Registry.
Go into Windows Explorer.
Find a file that ends in a *.pl suffix.
Right click on it and bring up the Context menu.
Select "Open With" (It might just be Open... with an ellipse after it. I don't have a Windows machine at the moment to verify this). This will bring up a dialog box with all the various programs. NOTE: Perl may not be listed in the initial set of programs. No worry, just navigate to it.
On the bottom of the dialog box is a checkbox (Something like open all extensions with this program). Make sure that checkbox is checked.
After this, all files that end with *.pl will open with Perl instead of Notepad.
It is highly likely that someone did this with a Perl script in order to edit it, and messed up the file association.
However, who ever did this should be doped slap -- not for messing up the file association, but for editing a program with Notepad. Bad Developer! No doughnuts for you!
Programs should be opened with a Program Editor. If you're a real he-man, you can use VIM. VIM is a fast, and powerful program editor, but you will need to spend an internship at the feet of a VIM Ninja master in order to learn how to use it. Your first three to six months with VIM will be What a idiotic program! This is awful. Who wrote this crap?. Then, one day, you will understand its power and efficiency. You will be one with the program.
If you aren't brave or fearless or don't have six months to waste learning a programming editor, you can use Notepad++. Compared to VIM Notepad++ is like driving a Minivan. It's safe, it's practical, and it gets the job done.
Both editors do Syntax Highlighting which can help you find issues. Both, (VIM can -- I think Notepad++ can too) offer help with syntax and usage. Both can edit a file without messing up the line endings (They'll both detect whether a file has Unix or Windows line endings and keep those or allow you to convert them). Both will number your lines, have extensive cut/paste buffers, powerful search and replace features. And will not mess up your file encoding. Both offer visual diffing between files and do automatic backups when you edit a file.
Finally, these two editors will embed themselves into the context menu you get when you right click on a file. You can edit a file by clicking on it, and selecting VIM or Notepad++ directly from the context menu. No need to select "Open with..." and possibly mess up the file suffix association.
Never ever use Notepad to edit a program.
Sounds like your .pl extention association is now set to Notepad rather than perl.exe. If you are too busy to fix that, just type "perl yourscript.pl" in a command promot window to start the perl interpreter and to send your script to it to run.
See this answer to fix the association:
File Type .pl Association and Using cmd.exe to Run the Script
I have the same problem. None of the method mentioned above solve the problem. The problem actually came from Windows 7! Windows 7 Doesn't allow you to associate .pl to perl.exe in c:\Perl64 directory, for whatever reason.
Here is the solution:
If you look at c:\Perl64\Bin directory (or the path where your ActivePerl binary installed), you'll see another file: Perl5.14.2.exe. This is the same file as perl.exe in same directory but with version number attached as postfix in the name.
You can associate .pl file to that Perl5.14.2.exe instead of perl.exe. Bingo, it works now.
A lot of dev environments have some basic parsing logic applied to the output of programs while debugging such that if a program writes to the console (as a result of an error, assert) something like:
/Users/Foo/Project/SomeFile.m:12 - SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED HERE
the file path & line name are automatically detected as link to source, and one can click or double click on the text in question inside the console window to make the source editor jump here.
I have been trying to find out if XCode has something similar, but I haven't had much luck. Is any such functionality missing in XCode or am I just not finding the preferred text shape that it prefers?
Thanks
I just remembered "Open Quickly…". If you copy the text of the file name, then use the "Open Quickly…" function (Cmd-Shift-O by default), you can paste the filename in and press enter, and it will display the file.
I bet this is really obvious but I can't find how to open the linked file that the Caret is currently on in Textmate. For example in the likes of Dreamweaver you can click in the index.html portion of <a href"index.html" hit cmd-D and it opens this file in a new tab. Is this possible?
Would also be good to do this with <img src="image.jpg" to open the file directly into Photoshop.
Solved!
Solution for Patrick below.
I used a modified version of Daustin777's example above to create a Command called OpenatCaret.
The command is: open "$TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY"/"$TM_SELECTED_TEXT"
I then extended this by installing a macro which allowed you to select a path between double quotes but not including the quotes. I got this from the macromates board here. http://lists.macromates.com/textmate/2009-June/028965.html
To wrap them both together I put my cursor in a path and recorded a new macro where I run the "Select within double quotes" macro and then the OpenatCaret command. I then named this OpenProjectFileAtCaret and bound this macro to cmd-D.
Works a treat and is used all the time. Just make sure you have the correct default apps setup for each file type you are opening eg. Textmate for php, asp, html and it will open them in a new tab.
I don't have a full solution as a linked bundle but this should get you close.
You can use the Bundle Editor to create a command that will open an image if you select the path. Create a new command and enter this:
open "$TM_DIRECTORY"/"$TM_SELECTED_TEXT"
Set Input to Selected Text or Word Set Output to Discard Set Key Equivalent to an unused key combination.
Close the editor. Now you should be able to select an image path and it will open when you press the appropriate keyboard shortcut.
You can add the -a flag to the open command to specify which application to use to open the selected file. This is just a basic example and not an entire solution that will work with every type of file path.
You can get info on Textmate environment variables here.
