GotoFile

Overview

GotoFile is a jEdit plugin that lets you open a file that is in your current buffer's line of text or selection, and will also jump to the line number if also found alongside the file name. This is similar to a feature found in most IDEs where you can click hyperlinked file names in compiler error logs or stack traces, however this plugin generalizes the idea to make it more customizable so you can use it with any text file, of any size with no pre-processing overhead. If the target file is already open in another editPane, then that pane will just move its caret to the proper line. If the target file isn't open yet, then it will open it in another pane and split panes if there was only one.

Features

• Execute on single, double or triple mouse clicks.
• Parse an entire line of text for a filename, or use your selected text only.
• Parse for custom filename/number conventions using regex patterns.
• Search only directories you want, recursive or not.
• Search relative to your current buffer's directory, so file names can be relative, and not just absolute.

A properties file is used instead of an options dialog for now. The current properties are:

dir

Search this directory for filenames with relative paths, or just basename filenames. To expand the directory recursively, end it with **, such as /tmp/**. Multiple directories should have their own "dir=..." line.

clicks

How many mouse clicks to listen to trigger parsing for filenames in your current line of text. Disable with 0 or blank.

bufferdir

If true, then the buffer that is parsed for a filename will be used as a directory origin when searching.

pattern

A regex with 1 or 2 groups. Specify the filename group with a 1-based index on a subsequent line, like "file = 1". Specify the line group with "line = 2". See example below.

Property File Syntax

	buffer = true
	clicks = 3
	dir = /tmp
	# Expand this dir tree recursively.
	dir = /home/bob/src/** 
	# If no patterns are given, some reasonable defaults are used.    
	pattern = (.*):(\d+)
	file = 1
	line = 2
	pattern = line (\d+) of file "(.*)"
	file = 2
	line = 1

	# Java, C++
	pattern = [\W]?([\d*\w*\.*/*\-*/*~*@*#*]+):(\d+)[\W]?
	file = 1
	line = 2
	# Python
	pattern = "(.*)", line (\d+)
	file = 1
	line = 2
