Control lines
(1/1)
Contro:
I would like
a text editor able to control lines in special ways.
By example :
1. Maintain lines 1,5,9,13,17,21, and so on until the final of the txt file.
That is a aritmetic progression of reason equal to 4, where the first is 1.
Delete the rest of lines.
2. Any other criteria over the lines.
Note : i am only looking now for the 1. . It's the important case to me now.
Best Regards
Happy New Year

Textpad 5 I found to be particularly useful regarding line manipulation. You can 'bookmark' lines you want to keep and then "Delete unselected lines". I think Notepad++ can do similar, but it's somewhere else in the menu. To select the lines you want programatically, Textpad has extensive support for macros (almost as good as scripting):

and Notepad++ can be scripted with Python via the Python plugin:

Sorry I don't have a more definitive answer, hope it helps though. :(

Thanks a lot Edvard and happy new year 2014.
At the present moment I am applying the wonderful script from Skwire
https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=36898.0
I'll take a look to both programs. At the present I know notepad++ that i am using as an alternative to PSPad where i find more confortable.
