How to use tidy with stdin?
zetah
I run latest SciTE on Linux and wanted to insert tool menu action for tidying current selection (or buffer) without saving buffer to new file
I tried i.e.
...
command.name.10.*=tidy -i -utf8 "$(CurrentSelection)"
command.replace.selection.10.*=2
...
but it does not work. I guess some other method must be used to pipe selection text to tidy
Anyone knows how?
Frank Wunderlich
/bin/sh -c "echo $(CurrentSelection)>tidy"
or
/bin/sh -c "echo $(CurrentSelection)|tidy"
but i found nothing on the manpage, tidy supports stdin-input

I didn't tried first example, but I expect it to create file named
'tidy'
I tried to pipe (as in your second example) but it doesn't work

a tmpfs you can create it there and it is not written to disk.

tidy *does* support stdin input

can you please provide working example?

"command with piping"

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,size=1024m 0 0
creates a 1024MB Ramdrive and mount it to /tmp. make sure you dont have
another definition of /tmp

Yes, in console: `cat sample.html | tidy` works fine.

What should be command for piping than?

I have no idea what do you mean by this.
I made Lua script that outputs selection to tempfile and replaces
selection by tidy modification. I'm not proud of it, as I find it lame
not being able to figure how to do this without writing to tempfile,
but at least it works and avoids some annoyances like "open save
dialog - figure where to put file - name file - remember to remove it
if not longer needed"

/bin/sh -c "cat sample.html | tidy" should work
and then
/bin/sh -c 'echo "<html><body><H1>test</H1></body></html>" | tidy' should also work
now you have to use your selection
/bin/sh -c 'echo "$(CurrentSelection)" | tidy'
the main problem should be dealing with multiple quotes (")
you can try to create a bash-script (eg. check.sh):
#!/bin/sh
echo "$1"|tidy
maybe without the quotes around $1
$(CurrentSelection)=/path/to/check.sh "$(CurrentSelection)"
you can look in the output pane for errors

you don't know the linux fstab-file? there you define the filesystems
mountpoints
zetah
just like that in `sh` does not work
I don't even want to comment your fstab approach
I assume that you want to help, but please try your theory first,
