The Script Editor[edit]

The Script Editor lets you write and execute scripts in Javascript.

With the Script Editor, you have access to the following resources of MiWorkplace.

  • document — editor content
  • selection — editor selection (selected text range of the editor instance)
  • ast — AST - abstract syntax tree of the editor content (a data model of the source)
var procedures = ast.listProcedures();

for each (var procedure in procedures) {

  print(procedure.name);

}

Editor Content[edit]

The editor content is available via the document variable. It is an instance of the Java class org.eclipse.jface.text.Document.

It provides many methods (RPG term: procedures).

  • get() — Get the whole editor content
  • get(start, length) — Get a part of the editor code
  • getLineLength(line) — Get the length of the line
  • getLineOffset(line) — Returns the offset of the line
  • getLineOfOffset(offset) — Returns the line number which the passed offset is part of
  • getNumberOfLines() — Returns the number of lines of the document
  • replace(position, length, text) — Replaces the position with passed text
  • set(text) — Replaces the content of the whole document

If you want to insert code, use the replace method and use 0 for the length.

Selection[edit]

The selection variable represents the text the user selected in the editor. The selection is a simple Point class which has two fields: x and y.

  • x — Start position of the selection
  • y — Length of the current editor selection

AST - Abstract Syntax Tree (a model of the source)[edit]

Depending on what type of source code the editor instance has loaded astrepresents different Java classes.
