Hi,
is there an easy way to add line numbers at the beginning of each line in a text file?
I want to select a couple of lines ( including the numbers) and paste them to another application.

regards
Harald

In VEDIT's macro directory there is the macro Ins-Num.vdm which does that.

Place the cursor in your file at the first line to be numbered and execute the macro via menu {Misc, Load/exec macro}.

Have a look into the Macro Language Manual p. 60, where two methods for
doing that are discussed.

Hi all,

thanks for your help !

As ususal it's not a question if it's possible within vedit it is only how it is possible.

Best regards
Harald

The supplied key-mac.lib has this macro:

**********
Line Numbering.
**********

Adds BASIC-like line number to the beginning of each line. First line number
is "100", next is "110" and so on. The cursor position is saved.

[VISUAL EXIT]
Save_Pos() #103=100 Begin_Of_File() Num_Ins(#103,NOCR) Ins_Char(' ')
while (! At_EOF) { #103+=10 Line(1,ERRBREAK) Num_Ins(#103,NOCR)
Ins_Char(' ') } Restore_Pos()

Modify it to your needs.

If someone wants to write a macro with a dialog box which prompts for the starting number, increment, etc., I will be glad to add it to {MISC, More macros}.

Ted.

I don't have the time for a complete macro now,
but here is a prototype for the dialog:



      #90=2   // 1 = Block,               2 = whole file

      #91=1   // 1 = Begin of File/Block, 2 = cursor pos

      #92=1   // 1 = real line numbers,   2 = counter

      #93=1   // 0 = no padding           1 = padding

      

      // only of interest with padding enabled (#93=1)

      #94=2   // 1 = with leading spaces  2 = with leading 0's

      #95=1   // 0 = fixed width dependant on max number (5,10,14 digits)

      // 1 = minimized fixed width

      

      // only of interest with #92=2  (counter)

      #97=1   // first number

      #98=10  // increment

      // divider

      Reg_Set(92, "=")   // a space usually is more appropriate,

      // but invisible in the dialog ;-)

      

      Num_Str(#97,90, LEFT)  // convert numbers to strings for display

      Num_Str(#98,91, LEFT)

      

      #99=Dialog_Input_1(90,"`Line Numbering`,

      `This macro inserts line numbers in front of lines of text.`,

      `It will do it's work within `,

      `() the highlighted block  or the`, `.h() whole file`,

      `beginning at`,

      `() Begin_of_File/Block or`, `.h() current cursor position`,

      `The numbers are:`,

      `.g() the real line numbers or`,  `.h() a counter with`,

      `??        first number     `,

      `??        and increment`,

      `The inserted numbers will be`,

      `[] padded`,

      `.t()  with leading spaces    or `, `.h() 0's     to a fixed `,

      `.t[] minimized width,`,

      `?? using as divider between number and original line:`,

      `[&Ok]`,`[&Cancel]`",

      SET+APP+CENTER,0,0)

Now I redesigned the dialog a bit. It's still a prototype without function.

I attached a screenshot.

Opinions, ideas, suggestions?

Wow. That is very fancy with many options. :-))
