Suggestion: Add left/right margin using external file or internal table
Posted: Thu May 14, 2020 12:48 am
Here's an idea to consider:
A choice could be made in the filter UI to use either an internal table or an external file.
An external file would be (e.g.) tab-delimited, just like a replace file.
It would work as follows:
In the above table, each line ends with a space.
It would be thus be a single filter to replace the following set of 27 filter pairs:How easy would that be to implement?
Best regards,

A choice could be made in the filter UI to use either an internal table or an external file.
An external file would be (e.g.) tab-delimited, just like a replace file.
It would work as follows:
- Column 1 would contain a series of Restrict to line number specifications.
- Column 2 would contain the respective text to be added at the left (or right) margin.
Code: Select all
1..1071 Matthew
1072..1749 Mark
1750..2897 Luke
2898..3776 John
3777..4783 Acts
4784..5216 Romans
5217..5653 1 Corinthians
5654..5910 2 Corinthians
5911..6059 Galatians
6060..6214 Ephesians
6215..6318 Philippians
6319..6413 Colossians
6414..6502 1 Thessalonians
6503..6549 2 Thessalonians
6550..6662 1 Timothy
6663..6745 2 Timothy
6746..6791 Titus
6792..6816 Philemon
6817..7119 Hebrews
7120..7227 James
7228..7332 1 Peter
7333..7393 2 Peter
7394..7498 1 John
7499..7511 2 John
7512..7525 3 John
7526..7550 Jude
7551..7955 Revelation
It would be thus be a single filter to replace the following set of 27 filter pairs:
