  hello!
  I currently work with turkish text and I need an automatic way to convert all special turkish characters into their corresponding english/latin characters
  because I often work with other than english languages that have special characters, I need a way to convert them to their english/latin character analogue
  but for now, a solution for turkish?
  thanks!

  Hi,
  I guess it could be done by macro:
  – start “record macro”,
  – replace one special character to the corresponding latin character (replace all)
  – stop record
  – “edit” the macro recored, copy all code generated by emeditor and paste it else where.
  – repeat the procedure above with each special character you want to replace, except append the generated macro code to the first one.
  – save the cumulated code to a single macro, put it in toolbar or asign it a short-cut key.
  Best regards! :-)

  Hi user,
  As ToadLoadin mentioned, you can use a macro to do this.
  Also, you can use the Batch Replace feature of EmEditor Professional 11 to do this task easily.

  Thanks!

  thanks, I will try macro, but I am interested in batch replace too
  however, is it possible to save a specific batch and run it by clicking a button in the toolbar?

  Hi user,
  Unfortunately, it is not easy to create a button from a batch you create from the Batch Replace feature. I might think about exporting as a macro from the Batch Replace dialog in future versions. Thanks!

  can anyone write a JS script or something that will do these replaces with a click of a button?
  i for ı
  g for ğ
  s for ş
  c for ç
  u for ü
  o for ö
  case sensitive, in all document, every instance
  thanks!

  Hello,
  You could actually record a macro while doing the batch replace.
  The actual script will look like:
  document.selection.Replace(“a”,”b”,eeFindNext | eeFindSaveHistory | eeFindReplaceEscSeq | eeReplaceAll | eeFindReplaceQuiet);
  document.selection.Replace(“c”,”d”,eeFindNext | eeFindSaveHistory | eeFindReplaceEscSeq | eeReplaceAll | eeFindReplaceQuiet);
  …
  Thanks,

  it seems to work very well, thanks!
  but how do I specify the case-sensitive action?

  I guess while recording the macro, if you turned case sensitive on, it will also be recored into the macro code.

  Hi all,

1. What command should be used for removing a character?

2. How to replace double (or more) empty lines with a single empty line?
   Thank you!

   Yutaka,
   I have just used this technique to write a snippet/macro that changes curly quotes (single and double), sort and long dashes into their equivalent keyboard characters.
   In the past I have had to do this as a series of “Find and Replace” tasks. Now its a simple highlight the text and click on the snippet.
   Thank you very much for the tip.
   Regards,
   Peter :-D

   :-) I think it could be done with this macro:
   // If nothing selected, select all.
   var currentSelection = getSelection();

   // A find’n replace using regular expression
   // (in selected range only).
   currentSelection.Replace(“^s*$n”, “”, eeReplaceSelOnly | eeReplaceAll | eeFindReplaceRegExp);

   // earase search keyword highlighting.
   document.HighlightFind = false;

Then, you could use this macro to insert empty lines between each “none-empty” line (forgive my poor english):
// If nothing selected, select all.
var currentSelection = getSelection();

// A find'n replace using regular expression  
// (in selected range only).  
currentSelection.Replace("n", "nn", eeReplaceSelOnly | eeReplaceAll | eeFindReplaceRegExp);  
    
// earase search keyword highlighting.  
document.HighlightFind = false;

I just found that both of the two macro above is not perfect due to lack of checking the setting whether “regular expressions can match new line characters” or not…
