I didn't see any mentions when I did a search for sort columns, so I hope this isn't reinventing the wheel.
- Code: Select all
import sublime
import sublime_plugin
# Don't want a global but the sort key won't take colkey as a parameter
colkey = -1
def colsort(item):
global colkey
# Special case where the item is a blank line in otherwise normal col data
if len(item) < colkey + 1:
return float("inf")
return item[colkey]
class SortLinesColumnCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit):
global colkey
for selection in self.view.sel():
if(selection == None):
continue
# get region of word under cursor and that line
wordselection = self.view.word(selection.end())
last_line_sel = self.view.line(selection.end())
# Get str of the beginning of last line up to cursor
line_start = self.view.substr(sublime.Region(last_line_sel.begin(),
wordselection.end()))
# column that the end cursor is positioned at
colkey = len(line_start.split(" ")) - 1
# position of the start of the line at the beginning of selection
startp = self.view.line(selection.begin()).begin()
# create array of all lines in the selection region
sortarray = []
for linesel in self.view.lines(selection):
sortarray.append(self.view.substr(linesel).split(' '))
# erase the lines from the window so we can place in proper order
for linesel in reversed(self.view.lines(selection)):
self.view.erase(edit, self.view.full_line(linesel))
# sort then append the list together as a single string with \n
sortarray.sort(key=colsort)
sorted_str = ""
for line in sortarray:
sorted_str += " ".join(line) + "\n" # Need space between cols
# paste the sorted string onto the window
self.view.insert(edit, startp, sorted_str)
