Re: [gedit-list] External-tools plugin requires trailing newline to replace selection

Hi Hugh,

    yes, sounds like a bug... probably we are processing output line by line.

Please file it in bugzilla so it does not get lost.

Ciao

Sometimes (often) when using a script in the External-tools plugin I want to replace the selection without an extra trailing newline, bit I don't think its possible.

For instance, I think the following script should leave the selected text as it finds it, but instead, the selection is deleted.

-----------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# [Gedit Tool]
# Input=nothing
# Output=replace-selection
# Name=Test
# Applicability=all
# Save-files=nothing

printf "%s" "$GEDIT_SELECTED_TEXT"
-----------------------------------

If a newline is added to the printf (printf "%s\n"), the selection is replaced, but the unwanted newline is added.


Does this qualify as a bug? (Gedit 3.6.1 on Debian)

Regards

Hugh
