a program i have been thinking about - Skaperen - Jun-25-2017
i have been thinking about writing a "scripted editor". that is an editor that has a simple but flexible scripting language that controls how the editing is performed. i use sed and awk a lot but they are weak in many ways. a major feature i would include in my edit scripting language is the ability to search for 2 points in the file and perform a set of edits on the part of the file that is between them. now i am thinking that i could do this by making python itself be the edit language by adding some functions to perform the various actions of editing the file. this is not an interactive editor as in a previous post i made here about 3 hours ago.
anyone have any needs for something like this, or any ideas for it?
