I need a plugin that adds spaces

Fortuneskills · Jan 25, 2019, 11:03 AM

When I get a g-code files from a fanuc machine. The machine deleted all the space. It is not easily readable anymore. So I need a plugin that ads the spaces again. (sending the files with spaces to the machine is no problem the machine removes them to conserve memory).

a file from the machine would look like this:

@018%
O1000
( COMMENTS )
M165
M62

T12M6( CENTERBOOR SECO )
T37
M98P1001( NULPUNT VOORKANT RND 13 )
G00X0.Y0.S1800F300M3
G00G43H12Z60.M8
G82Z-3.R4.P400K0
M98P1013
M98P1002( NULPUNT VOORKANT M8 )
G00X0.Y0.S1800F300M3
G00G43H12Z60.M8
G82Z-2.R4.P400K0
M98P1008
%

The machine put everything together except the comments ( )
Plugin needs to accept “blocks” a block is something like this: M98 or X123.43 or R4.
Here the file but then how I need to to be converted to:
@018%
O1000
( COMMENTS )
M165
M62

T12 M6 ( CENTERBOOR SECO )
T37
M98 P1001 ( NULPUNT VOORKANT RND 13 )
G00 X0. Y0. S1800 F300 M3
G00 G43 H12 Z60. M8
G82 Z-3. R4. P400 K0
M98 P1013
M98 P1002 ( NULPUNT VOORKANT M8 )
G00 X0. Y0. S1800 F300 M3
G00 G43 H12 Z60. M8
G82 Z-2. R4. P400 K0
M98 P1008

So can anybody help me with this?
Thanks

What about using find/replace dialog with a regular expression like \w\d+ and replace with $0 (there is a space after zero digit)

@Fortuneskills

better use \w\-*\d+\.* to have negative movement and coordinate dots glued to correct code.

Hello, @fortuneskills, @eko-palypse, and All,

Presently, I’m not able to give you a full reply to your request but I should have more time on next Sunday ! I’ll also need some other samples of code, either before ( text you get ) and after ( Text you would like to ), to improve my regex S/R !

Assuming your single example, here is my temporary solution :

SEARCH (?-si)(?:$.+?$|@\d+?%|^\w{3,5}|[PSFM]\d+|[\w-]{2,3}\.?)(?=\R)|(^\w{3}|[PSFM]\d+|[\w-]{2,3}\.?)
REPLACE $0(?1\x20)
Option Wrap around ticked
Option Regular expression selected
Click on the Replace All button

See you later,

Best Regards
