   This is my first python script. It should sort the current selection. Any pointers on improving it are greatly appreciated. Also any pointers on developing these scripts? Right now I'm restarting PN after each change to force it to reload.

   Thanks,

   Scott

   import pn
   import scintilla
   import string
   from pypn.decorators import script

   @script("Sort Lines")
   def SortLines():
   editor = scintilla.Scintilla(pn.CurrentDoc())
   editor.BeginUndoAction()

   lsSelection = editor.GetText(editor.SelectionStart, editor.SelectionEnd)
   laLines = lsSelection.splitlines(0)
   laLines.sort()
   lsReplace = string.join(laLines, '\r\n' )

   #pn.AddOutput(text + '\r\n')
   #pn.AddOutput('Lines\r\n')
   #pn.AddOutput(str(lines))

   editor.ReplaceSel(lsReplace)
   editor.EndUndoAction()

   Hi Scott, sorry for taking so long to reply to this. This is great - well done! I think a performance improvement may be to do this in-line in Scintilla, but that would be much more work. At the moment this involves copying the whole selection out of scintilla which with a very large selection would use a lot of memory. Other than that, well done! I'll add it as a sample script if that's ok with you?

   Hi Simon,

   No worries on the timing, the feedback is much appreciated. I'd bee happy if you'd add it as as a sample script. Thanks again,

   Scott
