use "word under cursor" in script

[Marcel]

Hey ho!

Currently i'm writting a script, that marks a word as a indexentry. But i have to select the word and then i can use the macro. I would like to have, that the word under the cursor is used. Therefor i found this feature requests https://sourceforge.net/p/texstudio/feature-requests/219/

However the following code produces an error

%SCRIPT
idx = cursor.selectedText(WordUnderCursor)
editor.write("\\index{"+idx+"}"+idx)
cursor.clearSelection()

The error

Uncaught exception at line 1: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: WordUnderCursor
Backtrace <anonymous>()@:1

According to the feature requests the wordundercursor function is implemented. Can anybody help me?

Thank you for your help.

There are two things:

1. you mixed up selection and retrieving the text
2. to access the cursor movement related constants, you have to use the cursorEnums variable

This should work:

cursor.select(cursorEnums.WordUnderCursor)
idx = cursor.selectedText()

Thank you, works perfectly.

Yesterday i'm slow on the uptake. It makes sense, that i have first to select the text and then retrieve.

I wanted to add the script and other to the wiki page (https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/texstudio/index.php?title=Scripts), but i haven't the permission to edit this page.

Should now be possible
