Re-marking block after ReplaceFile()

[Tom Collins]

The chkchg,s macro is very useful to me, allowing TSE to reload changed files from disk.  I use this often to reload log files after a compile.  But I've found that if a file has a block marked, and chkchg reloads a file, TSE will unmark any blocks in _any_ files.  Looking further, this seems to be the "fault" of the ReplaceFile() call. 

Is this the expected result, and if so is there a macro way to save the block and restore it after ReplaceFile()?  A quick wrapping of ReplaceFile() with PushBlock() and PopBlock() didn't seem to get the job done.

Thanks.

You have very probably not set the PushBlock() and PopBlock() at all exits (it has 2 separate exits)

integer proc replace_file(string fn)

    integer line, row, column, xoffset

    line    = CurrLine()

    row     = CurrRow()

    column  = CurrCol()

    xoffset = CurrXOffset()

    PushBlock()

    if ReplaceFile(fn)

        GotoLine(line)

        GotoRow(row)

        GotoColumn(column)

        GotoXOffset(xoffset)

        PopBlock()

        return (True)

    endif

    PopBlock()

    return (False)

end

Note: 

This has been tested in latest TSE 4.50.20.

If you use another TSE version, you will have to backup,

do the same there in chkchg.s in the 'mac' directory, 

compile and run.

Hi Tom,

This might work:

I was incorrect: adding PushBlock() and PopBlock() around the ReplaceFile() command did fix my problem, but it appears there are multiple code paths where the problem occurs.  If you load three files, 'a', 'markedfile' and 'changedfile', mark some lines in 'markedfile' and change 'changedfile' outside of TSE, the macro behaves differently WRT prompting for a reload and unmarking the block, depending on which file is the current file.  I need to investigate this further.

This is already improved with regard to the original Semware chkchg.s, also added the above features:

I have asked the AI to give a solution and that version appears to works after some brief testing.

Knud,

Thank you.  Your version appears to work perfectly now.

Sammy - would suggest making Knud's new version of this macro part of the TSE distribution as it is much improved.

Tom
