There are five options:Ĭollaborating can bridge the gap between strategy and execution. To change text case, navigate to Text > Change Case. Text can be changed by highlighting small areas, or all of the page’s text can be changed at once. Change CaseĮvery good text editor provides the functionality to change case and TextWrangler is no different. Subsequently, there is also the option to delete a tab's worth of spaces when Delete is pressed. To change tab settings navigate to Text > Entab and choose your preferred tab width, and the tab will be replaced with spaces rather than a tab character. TextWrangler has the option to replace the tab character with a pre-set number of spaces. Tabs are the nemesis for most programming languages, and that includes documentation standards for Drupal. I don't harness all the power it has to offer as a copywriter or while writing Drupal documentation, but here is a short list of text transformation commands I frequently use. It can wield more power than a bucking bronco. TextWrangler is pretty powerful for a plain text editor. To search and replace through multiple file navigate to Search > Multi-File Search (Command + Shift + F). To do a simple search and replace navigate to Search > Find (Command + F). This ability comes in handy when writing/editing Drupal modules whose names have changed, the name of the module has changed, and this change needs to be reflected in every instance in every one of the module files. TextWrangler will comb through multiple files at once.
Most text editors come equipped with search and replace, but the scale of TextWrangler's outshines all others. If you repeat the command, the clipboards will cycle backward through the history. Selecting Command-Shift-V will replace the current clipboard with the previous one. When writing READMEs, I have my soft wrap set to window width, but have my page guide set at 80 characters, so I can manually add line breaks where I need them.ĭigging in the Spurs - Multiple ClipboardsĬopy and pasting is a copywriter's trusty horse. The following options are available for text wrapping: Navigate to Edit > Text options and select Soft Wrap Text. TextWrangler definitely keeps me from squatting on my spurs, and the best part - it's free! Building the Corral - Text WrappingĪccording to Drupal Documentation for READMEs, text should manually word-wrap at 80 characters. I just need a tool that works on my Mac, writes with no fancy characters, and has the ability to do some basic formatting. Since I don't venture too far off the ranch into programming, I don't really have the need for a heavy IDE (Integrated Development Environment). It's not quite the Wild Wild West, but having a solid text editor in my holster keeps me saddled up and ready to ride. SQL> select /*+ gather_plan_statistics monitor */ /* martintest006 */ * fromĢ clustered_lrg where trunc(date_created) =ģ* to_date('','yyyy-mm-dd') and state = 'RARE' Īs you can see everything is aligned perfectly! The same is true for the TextWrangler output although I’m not uploading the screenshot to prove.As Hook 42's Community Evangelist, I frequently venture into the prairie of Drupal documentation. White spaces are predictable so let’s see what happens: So that’s it then! I don’t like the tabs, they are unpredictable. The default value for TAB is system dependent. Determines how SQL*Plus formats white space in terminal output. OFF uses spaces to format white space in the output. And fair enough, I found the reference to this behaviour using the SET TAB option:
But today I got so annoyed with this that I actually looked into the documentation. So far I have use the old spool /path/to/spoolfile approach to spool data into a text file and then transferred it to my system. If it doesn’t you get the result as shown above.
Depending on your tab width in your favourite editor everything can be perfect if your tab-width matches the one used in SQLPlus. This can be a problem for me but it is not necessarily one for you. What is not immediately visible is that SQLPlus uses TAB characters where in my opinion should use white spaces instead.
Obviously that isn’t great-why is the layout broken there? The above output looks nice at first glance, so I’m copying and pasting this into a document, only to see this (again a print screen this time from TextWrangler): Many thanks to Jonathan Lewis and his presentation about generating test data by the way! The output in SQLPlus in my terminal window is all nice and pretty (it’s a print screen): Here’s an example to show you what I mean. SQLPlus will mess up my output when I am copying/posting something in wordpress or elsewhere. I finally managed to work around My Most Annoying Problem (TM) with SQLPlus in my career.
