Adaptable EOL?

[nedbatchelder]

I'd like Zeus to adapt the line endings to whatever is already in the file. Is this possible?

So if I opened a file with 0x0a line endings, and I entered some more lines, they'd end with 0x0a. If I opened a file with 0x0d0x0a line endings, and entered more lines, they'd end with Windows-style line endings.

Thanks.

Hi Ned,

I'd like Zeus to adapt the line endings to whatever is already in the file. Is this possible?

I was sure Zeus already had this feature, but after some testing I found it was no longer working

I take a look at why it is no longer working.

Cheers Jussi

This issue is really starting to bother me. Is there a script I could use to set the line ending based on what is found in the file?

It is possible to control the state of the UNIX write option via a script. Below is some Lua code that shows how this is done:

Code: Select all

function key_macro()
	original = get_editor_option("UnixWrite")
	message_box(1, "UnixWrite " .. original)
	
	set_editor_option("UnixWrite", 1)
	value = get_editor_option("UnixWrite")
	message_box(1, "UnixWrite " .. value)
	
	value = set_editor_option("UnixWrite ", original)
	value = get_editor_option("UnixWrite")
	message_box(1, "UnixWrite " .. value)
end

key_macro() -- run the macro
