Saving text editor

I learnt that I will need to use SAVE_TEXT module to save what is inside my text editor with the codes as follows:
CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT'
EXPORTING CLIENT = SY-MANDT
HEADER = ?...
INSERT = SPACE
SAVEMODE_DIRECT = SPACE
OWNER_SPECIFIED = SPACE
IMPORTING FUNCTION =
NEWHEADER =
TABLES LINES = ?...
EXCEPTIONS ID =
LANGUAGE =
NAME =
OBJECT =

For the line of code TABLE LINES = ?, what should I put for the ? to store the value of what is in the text editor?
May I ask if someone can give me examples of SAVE_TEXT for text editor?
Points will be given to any answer that can somehow answer my questions.

This is the Bare minimum required parameters for SAVE_TEXT
CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT'
       EXPORTING
            HEADER          = XTHEAD
            SAVEMODE_DIRECT = 'X'
       TABLES
            LINES           = TLINES.
Now going back to your question.
You have to pass the Internal table TLINES with the Text that needs to be saved inTables Parameter LINES
Hope this Helps

I am not preety sure why on saving teh typed text it chnages to this format.
I would like to have my program save it as is typed. Is this possible to do so
and how?
Thanks.

Hi Aarav,
Check the internal table used to store the text is having line length 100. Change that to 200 or more . You can see the difference . If still the problem persists, enter each line in the text editor and conclude each line with a carriage return( ENTER )
key press.
Hope this will help you.

Is Content stored in the Rich Text Editor saved to the Database?

Is Content stored in the Rich Text Editor saved to the Database? We are planning a migration from our Dev environment to our QA/Staging environment and would like to migrate our existing content. We were told that content stored in the Rich Text Editor is stored somewhere in the Plumtree database. Is this true? If so, where in the DB (table/field) is it stored?

Some of the content from Publisher is stored in the file system.
Look under: plumtree\ptcs\publishedcontent
there you'll find your preview and published content.

Can I open .ai file w/ text editor and edit linked file path?

I want to relink a placed file in a lot of illustrator files to a new file with a different name. I've tried setting up various actions but it is not doing what I need. If I open the file in a text editor such as Notepad++ or Text Wrangler, I can find the linked file path in two places, if I edit this path and save the file (still with .ai extension) I thought the link would change, but when I reopen the file, it does not change. Any ideas?
If I make an action to relink a file, the action will only place a new file but not replace the old one. I also can't get it to place into a specific layer.
Any ideas?

CSS files are plain text with no links, so what you see is all there is.
In order to apply CSS to HTML, you need a <link> tag in your HTML.
If you install the Web Developer Extension from the Firefox add-ons site, there is a handy "Edit CSS" sidebar that lets you play with style rules and see the effects live. Note that this pane is not saved, so if you switch tabs, you lose your changes. Make sure to copy out any changes you want to remember.

How to call text editors in smart forms?

In my module pool program,I included text editors for three fields.I want that fields in smart forms too.I need to know how these text editors are called in smart forms?

Hi achu,
Any text that gets saved has a corresponding entry in table STXH table. It usually has the following parameters : TDOBJECT,TDNAME,TDID and TDSPRAS.
What you have to do is create a new text element and under general attributes ---> Type - give Include Text.
And in the include text you give the above four parameters which correspond to the text you want to display.
P.S. Do not forget to check the 'No error if no text exists' checkbox.
Hope this helps.

How to call a text editor from a module pool program

Hi All,
I want to call the text editor from my modulepool program. Enter my text in it and save it.This text needs to be saved in a Z-program with 2 fields as primary keys. The next time while I call this same record from this z table, I need to fetch the existing text and display it.
The user now can put in additional text and can again save it. This process thus goes on..
If anyone has worked in this type of scenario, then please help me in doing this.
Useful answers will surely be rewarded.
Thanks,
Susanth.

Hi Sushanth,
We save the text not as fields in a ztable directly but as a text.Please check the format below since it is based on a working code....
first you need to create a text in s010 transaction...
there should be some key based on which you plan to save the text..imagine it is Purchase order then..PO+item numner is always unique.eg:0090010(900PO/item10).so in the code you can append these two and they will be unique..so you can always retrieve them,overwrite,save them anytime you need

How to create a text editor, the one like header text in PO

Dear Ones,
My requirement is that I want to create a text editor for storing terms and condition plant wise.
The editor should be the one like header text in PO. It can take end number of lines.
I created the text object ('TERMS') in table ttxob and text for it in table ttxot.
Also created text id ('L000' and 'L001') in table ttxid and text for it in table ttxit.
Now using FM read_text, save_text and edit_text, I have written a program but it does not save the data.
When I run the program initially it displays me blank, then I enter some data into it. Again when I come back it displays the data and also saves the edition. But if I close my session the data is gone.
It means it is not actually saving the data in database. My code is as below:

Newbie help with sample Studio app. "Plain Text Editor"

I'm trying to make the jump from AppleScript to AppleScript Studio, and because I want to eventually write a document producing application I thought I'd start with the textbook example "Plain Text Editor" included with Xcode. I think I see how menu items are connected to "Target/Actions," and I was able to build and run it without difficulty. It's remarkable how little AppleScript had to be written to produce a rudamentary text editor. But in playing with the built application, I noticed that the Revert menu item does not work exactly as expected.
If you create a text document, and then make some change to it, and then click the Revert menu item, you get the expected little dialog asking if you want to revert to the most recently saved version, but if you then click the Revert button, the text displayed in the text view object does not revert to the original. However, something is happening, because whatever code is behind the Save, Close, and Quit menu items does seem to be "aware" that the Revert item has been invoked: because if you click one of these after Revert, the "do you want to save changes?" warning doesn't appear, just as one might expect.
The Revert menu item seems to be connected to a "Target/Action" called "revertDocumentToSaved:" which sounds perfectly reasonable. But does the fact that Revert doesn't cause the displayed editing text to revert mean that (a) there is a bug in the code behind this Target/Action, or (b) that the writer of this textbook example just didn't bother to do everything needed for the Revert item to work in an intuitive manner?
Whichever the answer, what would I do to make it work properely?
It seems like there must be some sort of connection between the text view object in the editing window, and the Close, Save, Quit suite of menu items, because the behavior of these is dependant on whether or not there are unsaved changes in the text view object. But looking through the Inspector for this object, I don't see any, neither AppleScripts, nor Outlets, nor Target/Actions. Where and for what should I be looking?
Dual 1.2 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Dual 1.2 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I think -- and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong -- that this is a place where AppleScript Studio's implementation just isn't done right. Either they intended to add a "revert" handler somewhere and forgot, or else they meant to have it send an existing message and didn't.
I haven't done any document-based applications -- heck, I've only dabbled slightly in AppleScript Studio -- so there may be a "deeper" answer to this, but you might consider just hooking the menu item up to send its "choose menu item" handler to your document script, and have it react accordingly.

Problem in reading the modified text from text editor

Hi all,
Im using text editor for saving the long text entered in the text editor as standard text in So10 tcode.
Here im facing an issue in reading the text from text editor. That is, when the text is entered by the user for first time, then the below method reads the text successfully.   But when i do some changes in the existing text present in the text editor and try to read, then the modified text is not returned by the below method.
I use the "CALL METHOD g_editor_ftext1->get_text_as_stream" to read the text. Given below is my code.
CALL METHOD g_editor_ftext1->get_text_as_stream
   IMPORTING
      text                   = ig_text_table

The return value of "is_modified" is always returned as 0.
Could anyone pls help how to read the modified text using the above method?

Rich text editor problem

Hi,
I'm using stellent 7.5.1.
I cannot upload pics and/or update text via the rich text editor .. The editor field opens, but just stays grey, i.e. they don’t have any option of entering or saving text.
I have even checked Java version its fine.
Do i need to change any config setting to enable to editor again?
Thanks

The 7.5 editor uses an ActiveX plugin, so it only works in Internet Explorer. There may also be security settings in Internet Explorer that might interfere with the way it works.
If you get it going, try this article for some enhancements to the editor.

Using a rich text editor to style a Flash text field

I've been trying to build a user interface that would allow someone to change the content of a dynamic field (loaded from a text file) using a rich text editor. However the editor inserts inline css style tags like which Flash aparently can't understand. If the editor were instead to insert the following: where the stylesheet defined it as:
.ul {
text-decoration: underline;
display: inline;
then everything would be fine. But it doesn't and I can't change it.
I am currently using a rich text editor that I access as follows:
var myEditor1 = new YAHOO.widget.SimpleEditor('editText', {
 height: '600px',
 width: '700px',
 dompath: true, //Turns on the bar at the bottom
 handleSubmit: true
The editor above is "applied" to a textarea within an html form. Then the text is saved to a text field with the embeded styles.
Any ideas on how I handle this so the user doesn't have to insert css rules by hand?
thanks much

Does anyone know of a richtext editor that uses just html tags (not css like ) or that uses css styling that Flash as3 can understand?

IW22 notification - to save the text from text editor to database

Hi,
In Iw21/22/23 notification screens are configured to custom screens.. and these screens are having text editors.... when i write some text in editor and try to save the notification.. the text should get saved so that i can see it nxt when i display the notification....
Please suggest any ideas...
I thought of saving in table in PAI... but it doesnt come to the event..... and if i try to use an enhancement while saving.... that enhancement should consider the data with respect to tabs... and save differently
please suggest..
Edited by: Poonam 24 on Oct 9, 2011 7:55 AM

First you need to retrieve the contents from the text editor (jn PBO) e.g.
* Retrieve text currently inside the textedit control
data:
    lt_text             type tdline occurs 10.
      call method go_d9999_textedit->get_text_as_r3table
        importing
          table                  = lt_text
        exceptions
          error_dp               = 1
          error_cntl_call_method = 2
          error_dp_create        = 3
          potential_data_loss    = 4
          others                 = 5.
and then persist the "lt_text" contents, e.g. you could use functions from the STXD group (e.g. SAVE_TEXT) or your own table that would need to have something like
MANDT    "key - client
LINK_KEY "key - whatever you are are linking this text to
SEQ      "key - one row of text
TEXTLINE
(the first three columns would be the primary key per row of text).

I have created an applet editor that will enable a user to break a text file down into a series of smaller html files. This does serve a purpose that is not really important at the moment and I don't want to bore you all.
The problem I am having is that upon clicking the open button and the 2 save buttons, the applet opens file chooser where you can select a file. The problem is that once the file is open, the applet, for some reason starts the openfile() method again. The same happens when using the the 2 saveFile() methods. Can anyone help?

The apps listed at java-tips.org are just some of those that happen to be written in Java. If you want an editor that does syntax highlighting and other programming-specific tasks, you have dozens more options. A few Windows editors that spring to mind are EditPad, Crimson Editor, Scite, UltraEdit and Notetab. Then there are the old Unix standys, Emacs and vi, which have Windows versions as well. I use EditPad Pro, which isn't free like many of the others, but is worth the money anyway, IMO.
