2 Subject: pos <-> line, column macro subroutines
4 Within NEdit mailing list a built-in macro subroutine was requested, which
5 allows the conversion of line / column number to a related text buffer position.
7 Sometimes it may also of interest to convert a given position to a related line
10 Attached patch implements 3 built-in macro subroutines which allow
11 position <-> line / column conversion:
13 1.) to_pos( [line-number] [, column-number] )
14 Convert given line number and column number to a text buffer position in current
15 window. Parameters of 'to_pos' follow the same syntax than parameters of
16 subroutine 'goto_line_number'.
18 2.) to_column( position )
19 Convert given position to column number in current window.
21 3.) to_line( position )
22 Convert given position to line number in current window.

48 + of subroutine "goto_line_number".
49 + Examples: 'to_pos(10)' returns position of first character of line
50 + number 10; 'to_pos(",2")' or 'to_pos(-1, 2)' returns position of
51 + column number 2 of the line, where the cursor currently resides.
54 Return an all lower-case version of string.
