Re: [ jEdit-users ] help with macro to run files from shell

[Dimitriy V. M. <dvm...@um...>]

Here's what I came up with based on Andy Streich's advice:

rundolines() {
       // Copy selected text
       String text = textArea.getSelectedText();

       // Create a temp file
       File temp = File.createTempFile("dofilelines", ".do");

       // Delete temp file when program exits.
       temp.deleteOnExit();

       // Write to temp file
       BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(temp));
       out.write(text);
       out.close();

       // Run the temporary file in Stata
       String command="C:\\Program Files\\Scripts\\rundo.exe " + "\""
+ temp + "\"";
       exec(command);
}

rundolines();
