while playing around with lua I tried to write a more accurate macro to select same/similar file on other panel. And then I got in a lot of trouble while comparing filenames:
- Undocumented or rarely documented FAR-api (and the not existing english docu)
- ASCII/ANSI/Unicode support of lua/FAR
- Comparing filenames and finding the right positon of the similar filename in FAR
To make it short: I tried a lot, cried out sometimes and ended up with this "best" version.
But what I really like to have is a little more. Doing a search for 2 example files ('1Filename4a.txt', '2Filename.txt') in Passive panel should lead to the green results:
- 1Filename1a.txt << Fastsearch selects this item for '1Filename4a.txt' ...>>
1Filename1b.txt
1Filename1c.txt << ... but should select the nearest Filename for '1Filename4a.txt' >>
<< '2Filename.txt' should be "virtually" placed here (Fastsearch can't do that) >>
3Filename9a.txt
3Filename9b.txt
If it is possible to make a macro for that, maybe someone knows how to do this?
Or it is better to pack up some beer, send it the coders and place a wish in mantis?
2013-04-15 Edit:
- Fixed the code to overcome the API limitations. Now using a static table for sorting purpose.
- Still using Fastsearch. If Fastsearch doesn't find the file then select nearest file
Code: Select all
