Hi all,
Iâm a total JAWS scripting beginner. With that said, before I spend tons of
time on a script which canât be doneâ¦
Can I launch notepad then run a search for a word and have jaws speak the line
on which the word was found?
For example, I want to find the word zebra within a text file in Notepad.
Iâm going to go to the top of the file before beginning my search.
Iâm going to press Control+F to launch the Notepad find.
Iâm going to enter the word Zebra and press enter.
When the first occurrence of the word Zebra is found, Iâm going to press
Escape to close the Notepad search.
Now that the Notepad search has been closed, I want to continue searching the
document by pressing the F3 key. As is, JAWS will not speak anything when the
second occurrence of the word Zebra has been found.
I would like to write a script which speaks each line which contains the word
Zebra. That is, when I press F3 and the word is found, I want JAWS to read the
line so I know when Iâve found my desired spot within the document.
As is, when pressing F3 in Notepad and successive occurrences of the word Zebra
are found, JAWS does not say anything, and I have to use the SayLine command to
get some sort of context as to where I am in the document. I use notepad all
day and every day to search for context, and this process really, really slows
me down, which is why I want to streamline this process.
Again, can one write a script so JAWS speaks the line on which the word Zebra
is found once F3 is pressed?
Since Iâm a new scripter, if this feature already exists on a different
application such as Notepad++, please let me know as I might as well make life
easy on myself as well as preventing scripting headaches for myself. ð
Thanks,
JR
