advanced filter – EmEditor (Text Editor) https://www.emeditor.com Best Text Editor, Code Editor, CSV Editor, Large File Viewer for Windows (Free versions available) Thu, 08 Jan 2015 01:57:05 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.5 Feature request: Macro command for removing Advanced Filter levels https://www.emeditor.com/forums/topic/feature-request-macro-command-for-removing-advanced-filter-levels/ Thu, 08 Jan 2015 01:57:05 +0000 https://www.emeditor.com/forums/topic/feature-request-macro-command-for-removing-advanced-filter-levels/ Since the undo-feature of EmEditor apparently doesn’t support Advanced Filter operations (e.g. adding a new filter level), it would be extremely useful to have macro command support for removing arbitrary Advanced Filter levels, or at least the last one (which would, in effect, emulate an “undo” operation for the addition of that filter level).

Would you please consider this Mr Emura?

]]> Macro support for adding new Advanced Filter level? https://www.emeditor.com/forums/topic/macro-support-for-adding-new-advanced-filter-level/ Tue, 16 Dec 2014 01:26:08 +0000 https://www.emeditor.com/forums/topic/macro-support-for-adding-new-advanced-filter-level/ The new advanced filter of EmEditor 14.7 is REALLY great!

In order to make efficient use of it I would very much like to be able to control it from macros though, and as far as I understand, this is currently not supported (or am I mistaken?).

What I would like to do is to be able to quickly add a new Advanced Filter “level” from a macro, i.e. the items that are shown in the list in the Advanced Filter dialog, and then be able to “reapply” this updated filter on my currently open text file.

For example, if I’m working with a textfile called “webserver.log”, I would like to be able to select a certain string on some line in the text file, and then use a hotkey to execute a macro of mine that would add the selected string as a negative filter level in the Advanced Filter and then reapply it, thus removing all lines containing that string in the currently displayed file contents. By repeatedly using this procedure, which would be facilitated by the requested macro support, I would be able to quickly filter out all the unnecessary lines in the file, leaving me just with the lines I really want to see and work with.

Is this supported by EmEditor’s current functionality, or could you please otherwise consider adding it?
