How can I run a Ruby script from the SciTE Tools menu that can process a text file currently open in SciTE?

[het...@gmail.com]

Hello,

 

I am using SciTE Ver. 1.59 [I cannot change that version], and recently learned how to setup my own commands to run from the

Tools menu [thanks to this group]. I now have another question:

 

A: I open a Ruby source code file in SciTE so I can work on it.

B: I start a Ruby file [a TK application] from the Tools menu which I use to process Ruby source code files.

 

Question: How can I 'tell' the Ruby file [B:] when it is started from the Tools menu to automatically read the file currently open in the SciTE editor [A:]?

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Harry

Look at my previous answer, where I shown how to start a command. There is a line like:
command.input.40.*=$(CurrentSelection)

SciTE has various useful built-in variables like this CurrentSelection, including some
giving the path to the current file.

See http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEDoc.html

Thanks for the answer Philippe, I got it working. Is there a way to get a list of all open files? I tried SessionPath but could not get it to work.

Thanks,

 

Harry
