Swap all lines in block (First to Last, second first to second last,...)

[Stefan]

Missing feature: "Edit > Line > Transpose all lines in block"
to put first line down as last line, second first down as second last, and so on...


One example:
Swap all lines from:
1 Create Folder xxxx yyyyy zzzz bla bla bla
2 Copy File xxxx yyyyy zzzz
3 Start App xxxx yyyyy zzzz bla

to:
3 Start App xxxx yyyyy zzzz bla
2 Copy File xxxx yyyyy zzzz
1 Create Folder xxxx yyyyy zzzz  bla bla bla

As start for to modify it to:
1 close App xxxx yyyyy zzzz bla
2 delete File xxxx yyyyy zzzz
3 remove Folder xxxx yyyyy zzzz  bla bla bla


Using the available Sort feature would only help if i would have always digits on start of line.

Hi Stefan,

yes, maybe feature is useful (never need something like this ) but I think this should not be done as standard functionality. Correct way would be to have it as a script.


Ok, now I see that this can be as extension request for existing transpose lines command, when multi line selection exist. Then I can place this in my to do.
I just do not want to introduce new formatting functionality, if it is not possible to do with coming scripting.

Best regards,
Alex.

Implemented and  works!

Example:

Before:
1 AAAAA First
2 BBBBBBBBB
3 CCCCCCCCC
4 DDDDDDDDD
5 EEEEEEEEE
6 FFFFF Last

Select all those lines (f.ex. by pressing Alt+ArrowDown 3 times)
Press shortcut Ctrl+Alt+T (see "Edit > Line > Transpose")
You will get:
6 FFFFF Last
5 EEEEEEEEE
4 DDDDDDDDD
3 CCCCCCCCC
2 BBBBBBBBB
1 AAAAA First

Thank you Alex.

My solved Problem was:

I want to reorder this paragraphs upside-down

FROM: (oldest on top)

ReNamer 5.50+ Beta 28 - ~23.05.2010
* Added option to reset serialization index every N files;

ReNamer 5.50+ Beta 29 - 30.05.2010
* Added BoolToStr function to PascalScript;

ReNamer 5.50+ Beta 31
* Selected file names will be loaded into newly added Remove and Replace
 rules as sample text (experimental, may be removed later);

ReNamer 5.50+ Beta 32 - 05.06.2010
* Fixed incorrectly used counter for the display of hourglass icon,
 which caused the hourglass icon to appear indefinitely;

TO: (newest on top)

ReNamer 5.50+ Beta 32 - 05.06.2010
* Fixed incorrectly used counter for the display of hourglass icon,
 which caused the hourglass icon to appear indefinitely;

ReNamer 5.50+ Beta 31
* Selected file names will be loaded into newly added Remove and Replace

ReNamer 5.50+ Beta 28 - ~23.05.2010
* Added option to reset serialization index every N files;

SO i just selected the whole document and pressed Ctrl+Alt+T  (Menu "Edit > Line > Transpose)
and got the work half done.

Because i got (newest on top but lines transposed too):

which caused the hourglass icon to appear indefinitely;
* Fixed incorrectly used counter for the display of hourglass icon,
ReNamer 5.50+ Beta 32 - 05.06.2010

 rules as sample text (experimental, may be removed later);
* Selected file names will be loaded into newly added Remove and Replace

first "only".

But no matter... i just selected each paragraph at its own and executed Ctrl+Alt+T again.


-----------------

Question:
i can imagine to be able to write an script (or an macro would be enough) to do this all in one step,
...but...
maybe there could be an option to transpose only whole paragraphs
if they are detected in selection
and not each lines within the paragraphs too.
Like holding Shift-Key while pressing the menu item, - or an ini tweak, - or an setting.

Just an idea.... i can life with it how its now... and will provide an script later...
...but as always my way of thinking is to provide the user all aid i can give him (because most didn't had an idea how to find an workaround).

OTOH i know you want to KISS...
but anyway i A) wanna provide this solution, B) say thank you Alex!  C) and try my luck!
