Hello Evzen Polenka,

I have created a code sample which shows through Unit Tests how to use the Edit Script functionality. The code sample project can be found within our Sdl Community public repository, under the Code Sample folder \ EditScript solution.

Wish you a great day.

With kind regards,

Florentina Caputa

Hi Florentina,

thanks for the effort, but I'm afraid that's not what I was looking for...

I was hoping for a documentation and overall "what is" and "how to" description...
Starting with important generic information like "EditScript is an action used e.g. by the Batch Edit feature in TM Editor" to get the readers into a picture first... and documentation of the format used by Load/Save functions... etc.

The programming stuff is more or less useless when one doesn't know and understand the basics and principles...

Anyway, meanwhile I was able to find out most of this stuff myself using the more complete Studio 2015 API documentation and by exploring the related features directly in Studio.

Still, one thing stroke me in the eyes - this comment in your code:

#40426 - TM batch edit unexpectedly shortens source segments during replace operations

Does it mean there is some nasty bug, potentially making the feature dangerous to use? Can you share more details?

Hi Evzen Polenka,

Indeed a proper documentation does not exists for this functionality, the much I could find are these Unit Tests which helps users to figure it out how the EditScript functions and properties are used. The "#40426 - TM batch edit unexpectedly shortens source segments during replace operations" comment was added for that particular scenario, because that part was implemented long time ago.

Kind regards,
