Kate Text Editor regexp for CNC code alteration on PC
When using some CAM software, the CNC code is usually generated properly with spaces. But for example when moved to "Citizen Cincom L20" machine via USB or network and edited there it lose spaces and also lose semicolons while preserving new lines which does work as semicolons anyway.
But since editing of CNC program happens in 3 places: CAM Software(ESPRIT in this case), CNC machine controller and also via text editor on the computer as postprocessor in ESPRIT is garbage.I've come up with this regex
([0-9]{1,2})([A-Z])
\1 \2
so
G1G99X5.4Z-.5F.12
Becomes
G1 G99 X5.4 Z-.5 F.12
that works in Kate to space everything back again for clearer reviwing of code. The only issue about it is that I need to do that manually for every file and I would like to automate it, preferably via Kate, so it would happen upon opening any ????.PRG plain text files.
But I do not exactly know how such happening should be called is it like macro or what ? I'm looking for some suggestions to accomplish this. Or maybe some alternative solutions
