my poor first version

Well, I really like how you used the number function as the real workhorse of the script!

X characters (Y bytes) in Z ranges)

“Z” (number of selection(s) ) is perhaps easiest, so let’s deal with it first:

z = editor.getSelections()

However, if you don’t want to count any empty selections (i.e., caret(s) ), then:

z = 0
for n in range(editor.getSelections()):
    if editor.getSelectionNStart(n) != editor.getSelectionNEnd(n):
        z += 1

“Y” (number of bytes in selection(s) ) is next-easiest, and could be calculated as:

y = 0
for n in range(editor.getSelections()):
    y += editor.getSelectionNEnd(n) - editor.getSelectionNStart(n)

“X” (number of characters in selection(s) ) could be done with:

x = 0
for n in range(editor.getSelections()):
    x += editor.countCharacters(editor.getSelectionNStart(n), editor.getSelectionNEnd(n))

The caveat here is that it is letting Scintilla determine what is a character to count; should be fine?

Scintilla seems to count line-ending characters as one for \r and one for \n – maybe that is not wanted here? This script fragment would eliminate line-ending characters from the character count:

x = 0
for n in range(editor.getSelections()):
    x += editor.countCharacters(editor.getSelectionNStart(n), editor.getSelectionNEnd(n))
    t = editor.getTextRange(editor.getSelectionNStart(n), editor.getSelectionNEnd(n))
    count_of_line_ending_chars = len(re.findall(r'[\r\n]', t))
    x -= count_of_line_ending_chars

EDIT: Looking more at your script listing, I think you probably want finer control over what a character is than just “asking Scintilla”…hmmm…

Hello, @alan-kilborn and All,

First of all, many thanks, Alan, for your additional posts, regarding the way to insert the creation and modification date, as well as the selection ranges

Luckily, after some Google search, I was able to get my own versions in order to output the Full file name, its size and the two dates :-))

Thus, I going to study your last post, regarding the selection ranges !

In the meanwhile, here is my second version of the Python script which outputs a new summary of the current file :

Just test it ! I may had missed some points !

Now, in my previous post, I said :

In addition, I presently just output the results on the python console and I, of course, would prefer to paste all these results directly on the clipboard !

Does someone can help me, regarding this specific point ?

Many thanks, by advance !

If you mean you want to put the text you’ve created into the clipboard, so you can later paste it, editor.copyText(stringVar) will put the contents of stringVar into the Windows clipboard.

Hi, @alan-kilborn, @peterjones and All,

Peter, thanks for the tip ! I do understand that I may replace all the lines, with this way. For example, the line :

print (' TOTAL Lines       : ', Total_lines,'\n\n')

by these two ones :

l = ' TOTAL Lines       : ' + str(Total_lines) + '\n\n'

editor.copyText(l)

But I was thinking about the way to store all the results, first, let’s say, in the text variable and then, use a unique editor.copyText(text) command ! It could be quicker to execute ?

Hi, @peterjones, and All,

I think I understood the way to do it :

Just replace, for instance, these 3 lines :

print (' True EMPTY lines  : ', Empty_lines)

print (' True BLANK lines  : ', Blank_lines, '\n')

print (' EMPTY/BLANK lines : ', Emp_blk_lines,'\n')

by the 4 lines :

t = ' True EMPTY lines  : ' + str(Empty_lines) + '\n'

t = t + ' True BLANK lines  : ' + str(Blank_lines) + '\n\n'

t = t + ' EMPTY/BLANK lines : ' + str(Emp_blk_lines) + '\n\n'

editor.copyText(t)

Isn’t it ?

PeterJones

@guy038 ,

Yes, I was thinking something along those lines.

Alan Kilborn

@guy038

Or… you could do a list of lines, adding a line to the list each time it is calculated, then join the lines together into a string and copy that to the clipboard:

line_list = []  # empty list
line_list.append(' True EMPTY lines  : ' + str(Empty_lines))
line_list.append(' True BLANK lines  : ' + str(Blank_lines))
line_list.append(' EMPTY/BLANK lines : ' + str(Emp_blk_lines))
editor.copyText('\r\n'.join(line_list))

The line endings don’t have to match the current document, since they are going to the clipboard.

Hi, All,

I’m off, tomorrow, with a dozen friends from the ski club, for three days, full board, at the ‘Villages Vacances Familles’ in Monetier-les-bains, in one of France’s great ski areas, near Briançon!

The weather forecast for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is fine with sunshine most of the time, but cloudy on Tuesday, and the snow, which is a bit hard, is on the cards: from 116 cm on the summits, at 2800 m down to 2100 m and with 40 cm in the resorts.

To whet your appetite, here’s an interactive piste map. Once you’ve switched to full screen, you can even ignore certain markers (pistes, ski lifts or other details) by clicking on the icon at the top left !

https://www.serre-chevalier.com/en/ski-area/interactive-trail-map

So, see you on next Tuesday evening or Wednesday !

Oh, great… starts writing an interesting script, publishes it here partially-finished, then goes on vacation… :-(

Enjoy, but I hope the script doesn’t get forgotten about!

Hello, @alan-kilborn and All,

Alan, you’ve been reassured. I’m back. Our stay went well, although there was some very hard snow, following rain in the previous days. And, on the first day, on the Luc Alphand black run, at Chante-Merle, I was not very proud ! Basically, it was OK between 10.00 am and 2.30 pm max !

Now, let’s get back to our beloved editor !

So, here is my third version ( and still incomplete ) of my Python script which improves the View > Summary feature :

Now, two points are still not clear :

- A To get the current language of the current file, I use the notepad.getCurrentLang() fonction. But I also saw the notepad.getLangType() fonction which seems to return the same string !? Which fonction would be best for this specific script ?

- B For the current encoding, I would like to get the zone at right of the status bar. I did see the notepad.setStatusBar(statusBarSection, function) but I don’t see the counterpart notepad.getStatusBar(statusBarSection !

For instance, if you have a UTF-8 default file, typing notepad.getEncoding(), on the python console, returns Npp.BUFFERENCODING.COOKIE

Now, if you decide to change the way this file’s bytes are interpreted with, for example, the Encoding > Character Set > Western European > OEM-US encoding, typing again notepad.getEncoding() on the python console, still returns Npp.BUFFERENCODING.COOKIE, although I would have expected Npp.BUFFERENCODING.OEM-US or perhaps just OEM-US !

TIA for any hint !

If you’re interested in the currently active tab, you can use either one.
If you wanted a tab that is not the active one, notepad.getLangType() allows you to specify a buffer id for that other tab.

but I don’t see the counterpart notepad.getStatusBar(statusBarSection)

My script for that is HERE.

…still returns Npp.BUFFERENCODING.COOKIE, although I would have expected …

Some good “cookie” discussion is HERE, and it also includes the get-status-bar technique.

Some more good discussions about encoding are found in these threads:

Quoting @Coises from one of those threads:

Notepad++ doesn’t handle character sets internally the way it appears to a user. For editing, everything is either in the user default code page (“ANSI”) or in UTF-8. Whenever you’re not using the default code page, Notepad++ uses UTF-8 (so it is possible to enter and see characters that aren’t in the code page). Translation to other code pages is done when reading and writing the file.

This could be the reason you aren’t obtaining the results you expect. Now, Notepad++ could, if it wanted to, provide the info that it itself knows about (from the status bar). For whatever reason, it chooses not to (probably lack of developer attention to this detail).

Hello, @alan-kilborn and All,

I’m still improving my Python script which can be used instead of the View > Summary feature. I added :

The current date and time in the title
The Read-only file flag status
The Notepad++ Read only status
The current view, the current Line End and the current wrap mode
The script, now, opens automatically a new tab and pastes the contents of the summary in this new tab

Here is the fourth ( and still incomplete ) version :

But, given that I’m only interressed in the fourth zone of the Status Bar, can’t we used a simplified version of your script to do so ?

TIA again !

I’m not sure how it could be simplified, but if you have ideas on that, please do it and publish it as part of your script.

It could be put in its own module, and import ed if you’d like…

@guy038 said :

…returns Npp.BUFFERENCODING.COOKIE, although I would have expected Npp.BUFFERENCODING.OEM-US or perhaps just OEM-US…

Rather that relying on a kludged read of the Notepad++ status bar, perhaps you should make a github issue against Notepad++, stating that NPPM_GETBUFFERENCODING doesn’t provide the data you need/expect, and maybe this plugin command will be enhanced for you?

guy038

Hello, @alan-kilborn and All,

Alan, first of all, I could have told you that I didn’t want to bother modifying your script and that I’d integrated it, as is. But, the truth is that I’m still a long way from understanding your script and seing any possible simplifications :-((

So, here is my final version of this Python script which can be used instead of the View > Summary feature. It contains the @alan-kilborn section which reads the right part of the status-bar, relative to the current encoding

I have to split this script into two consecutive posts !

Hi, Alan and All,

( Continuation of the previous post )

Now, I’ve come accross a problem with the encodings !

Have you ever noticed that, when you decide to re-interpret the present encoding of a file with the View > Character Set > ... feature, that there are two possible scenarios ?

A) - The present econding is an Unicode encoding with a BOM ( Byte Order Mark ). So, either the UTF-8-BOM, UCS-2 BE BOM or UCS-2 LE BOM encoding
B) - The present encoding is an ANSI or UTF-8 file, so without a BOM

In the first case, whatever the new encoding chosen ( one-byte or two-bytes encoding ), the file contents do not change and my script just respects the real encoding of the current file

For example, with an UCS-2 LE BOM encoded file, if I change its encoding to View > Character Set > Western European > OEM-US, my new summary just consider that it’s still a true UCS-2 LE BOM encoded file, leading to a correct summary report !

In the second case, the new encoding chosen does modify the current file contents in the editor window. In addition, it automatically supposes that the current file is an UTF-8 encoded file, leading to erroneous results in the summary rapport :-( However, the current file contents, saved on the disk, seem still unchanged !!

For instance :

Open a new tab
Use the Encoding > Convert to UTF-8 feature, if necessary
Enter the four chars Aé☀𝜜, without any line-break, at the end
Save this file as Test-UTF8.txt
Using my script, you get, in a new tab :

Everything is OK ( buffer length and length on disk are identical and the bytes length description shows one char for each number of bytes, without any EOL )

Now, switch back to the Test-UTF8.txt file
Run the View > Character Set > Western European > OEM-US feature
Re-run my script. This time, in a other new tab, you get :

And, at the same time, a prompt displays this warning :

CURRENT file re-interpreted as OEM-US => Possible ERRONEOUS results
So, CLOSE the file WITHOUT saving, RESTORE it (CTRL + SHIFT + T) and RESTART script

Indeed, this time, as the file contents are unchanged, the length on DISK is still correct but the BUFFER length is wrong, due to the re-interpretation of the characters by the OEM-US encoding. That’s why I preferred to add this warning at the end of the script !

Now, do as it is said :

Close the Test-UTF8.txt file ( Ctrl + W )
Restore it ( Ctrl + Shift + T )
Again, you get the UTF-8 indication, for the Test-UTF8.txt file, at right of the status bar
Re-run my script

=> This time, we get again a correct summary, without any prompt !

Alan or other python gurus, feel free to improve this last version and/or test on various files if all the numbers shown are coherent !

Hi All,

I"ve just realized that, up to now, I simply improved my script with an old version of N++ ( v7.9.2 ). I apologize…

So, I’m first going to update my last portable version, on my W10 laptop, from v8.5.4 to the v8.6.2 version and I will update my script and redo all the tests

See you later !

:-(

You ought to close out these ancient versions…permanently.
