使用Sublime Text插件搜索并替换当前文件

Question

I am trying to port a Sublime Text build system to a plugin.

The build system would receive the current file and go through it with this code:

for line in fileinput.input(inplace=1):
    sys.stdout.write(makeReplacements(line))

Now, in the plugin syntax I go the fact that the way to get my current file's content is:

input = self.view.substr(
  sublime.Region(0, self.view.size())
)

But now I'm not sure about what I should do about the next operation.

for line in input(inplace=1):

How could I make replacements in the file on-the-fly and then save it?

Answer 1

I don't think the Sublime Text plugin API can save the buffer, but you could use the file_name() method in the sublime.View class and work with the file directly.

As noted by @MattDMo, the file can be saved using view.run_command('save') .

It may be easier to use the file name if your old build file worked with that.

Answer 2

As stated by @RazerM, the first argument has to be the file path. So for my example, this will work.

for line in fileinput.input(self.view.file_name(), inplace=1):
  sys.stdout.write(self.makeReplacements(line))
