Re: Rewrapping text in a miniconsole
1. I am using Mac OS X 10.8.3 2. While I would be willing to test to see if issues have been resolved on the most up to date version, I have no idea how to go about compiling a copy for myself, though, from what I understand, it is at least possible. 3. I assume you would prefer that I compile such ...

Re: Rewrapping text in a miniconsole
The first set of issues was that I was testing with a MiniConsole, and even though the text was changed for it, it wasn't redrawn, so I didn't see the change. Clicking or scrolling made the changed text appear. Similar to the font change issue behavior. The second issue, shown in the example on this...

Re: Rewrapping text in a miniconsole
I just created and ran an example script as follows: local name = "testbuffer" createBuffer(name) echo(name,"1\n" .. "2\n" .. "3\n" .. "4\n" .. "5\n" .. "testing\n") moveCursor(name,0,0) display(getCurrentLine(name)) -- "1&qu...

Re: Rewrapping text in a miniconsole
So, I double checked, and it was just not refreshing the display on the miniconsole after I changed the text, so that is why I was thinking something was odd with the select functions. However, I also double checked, and calling getLineCount for my miniconsole windows and the buffers I'm using to st...

Re: Rewrapping text in a miniconsole
So, just so I'm clear about things, the select functions just target whatever cursor you moved most recently, yes? I think it could be nice if you could specify a window with them, but I can at least live with that. As I am often coding things for others, is there any way to fix the replace issue th...

Re: Rewrapping text in a miniconsole
Well, I am actually using a buffer for what I did. But, while I can see that some of the functions work well with buffers, I guess I'm not seeing (in the help or in the wiki) how you would use selectString with one, or other functions like getLineNumber. Mostly, I seem to be able to getCurrentLine a...

Re: Rewrapping text in a miniconsole
By the way, is there any chance we will ever have a way to have access to text in rich text format? I.E. I know we can use copy/paste/appendBuffer to grab things with formatting, but at no point is the text used accessible to let it be edited or interacted with. Even putting copied text into some so...

Re: Rewrapping text in a miniconsole
Never mind, fixed it. For those that might be interested, this is what I did: line = 1 clearWindow(window) moved = moveCursor(buffer,1,line) while moved do text = getCurrentLine(buffer) line = line + 1 moved = moveCursor(buffer,1,line) if moved then text = text .. "\n" end cecho(window,tex...

Re: Rewrapping text in a miniconsole
Also, while this works for when the miniconsole is made smaller, it obviously doesn't unwrap lines when it is made larger. Any ideas on how to achieve that?

Rewrapping text in a miniconsole
So, I want to rewrap the text in my miniconsoles when they are resized. Currently, my only real strategy is to use moveCursor to move it to the top, then step through each line and rewrap that line, if moveCursor fails, I stop my script (because I reached the end). Any ideas for a better way to do t...
