[ jEdit-users ] saving a file with a macro

[Geoff H. <gh...@la...>]

I am developing a macro to traverse through a directory, open all the 
files and then run some search and replace reg ex stuff.

That all runs fine.

What's frustrating is I can't seem to figure out how to save and close 
each file after the above runs.

Saving: I tried this:
		buffer.save(view,null,true);  // but this just gives me a big old 
dialog asking where to save the buffer
		// I thought, from reading the API docs, this would save the current 
buffer overwriting the existing file of the 		// same name in its 
original directory

I also tried this:
	String thisPath = subDirPath + "/" + subDirContents[i];
	Macros.message(view,subDirPath + "/" + subDirContents[i]);
	buffer.save(view,thisPath,true);

	// The message shows the right path to the file but overwrites it with 
the text that was
	// in the "untitled" buffer or in other words nothing.

I am having similar problems with jEdit.closeBuffer(view,buffer);

Go easy on me, I'm not much f a java or beanshell coder yet.  Thanks
