"Summary" feature improvement

[guy038]

Hi, All,

Before Feb. 18 2024, the title of this topic was : Improved version of the "Summary' feature

I decided to improve the native Summary feature of Notepad++, with a Python script !

This is my first version of this script. Just note that I feel like I’m using a sledgehammer to crack a nut !

---

So, I absolutely need some advice, from Python gurus, in order to :

• Greatly improve my poor first version of this script, in syntax, logic and performance

• Insert the Full File Path, the Creation Date and the Modification Date at the beginning of the results

• Insert the Current File length on disk, under the Buffer length line

• Insert the last line X characters (Y bytes) in Z ranges with all the needed logic

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 !

I quite confident regarding the regexes used to get these statistics ! Even if some of these regexes may seem weird, they had been tested a lot and, once the script has been finalised, I will post a complete documentation about this script !

Contrary to our present Summary feature, this python script correctly works with the UCS-2 BE BOM and UCS-2 LE BOM encodings !

Insert the Full File Path … at the beginning of the results:

How about changing this:

print (‘Full File Path : \n’)

to:

cfn = notepad.getCurrentFilename()
print ('Full File Path    : {}\n'.format(cfn))`

---

Insert the Current File length on disk, under the Buffer length line

Here’s a function to get the file size:

import os

def filesize(filename):
    (mode, ino, dev, nlink, uid, gid, size, atime, mtime, ctime) = os.stat(filename)
    return size

@guy038 said:

Insert the Creation Date and the Modification Date at the beginning of the results

import os, time

cfn = notepad.getCurrentFilename()

ti_m = os.path.getmtime(cfn)
m_ti = time.ctime(ti_m)
mt_obj = time.strptime(m_ti)
mts = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", mt_obj)
print('Modified time:', mts)

ti_c = os.path.getctime(cfn)
c_ti = time.ctime(ti_c)
ct_obj = time.strptime(c_ti)
cts = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", ct_obj)
print('Created time:', cts)

[Alan Kilborn]

Of course, you’ll want to make sure what you are dealing with for cfn is actually a real file on disk and not a soft-named file, e.g. a new 4 file. If you don’t do that kind of check, the OS won’t know what to make of new 4 as a pathname.

Do a check for that with:

if os.path.isfile(cfn): ...

my poor first version

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

@guy038 said :

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…

[guy038]

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 !

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.

[guy038]

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 ?

BR

guy038

[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!

[guy038]

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, 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 !

@guy038 said:

notepad.getCurrentLang() versus notepad.getLangType()

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:

• https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/25175/how-can-i-get-the-encoding-of-current-document
• https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/24560/new-plugin-multireplace

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).

[guy038]

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

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…

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?

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 !
