Reflow Line Breaks by External Tool

[main Alexey]

I added macro {SelectionAsTemp}. plugin is updated.
please test it, my test with "echo {SelectionAsTemp}" (echo is program on linux) works ok.

Python's subprocess module can feed an external process stdin. This tutorial uses a dummy process that prints stdin. Could this technique somehow use {SelectedText} without making a temp file?

Code: Select all

import subprocess
import sys

result = subprocess.run(
    [sys.executable, "-c", "import sys; print(sys.stdin.read())"], input=b"underwater"
)

the python sample for selected-text is:

Code: Select all

import cudatext as app
sel = app.ed.get_text_sel()
print(sel)

how can I help more?

Yes it works, thank you. I often work with unsaved documents, so the function text2temp in py/cuda_exttools/cd_exttools.py created a file called "_sel." for lack of naming tags. I will post separately about temp files in general.

I will play around with these ideas, thanks again for your quick feedback and tool updates.
