If you for example rectangular select the middle 'column' in the following in Nedit: (eg: in the first line it would be 'blah.')
fred.blah.pl mary.john.pl fred.blah.pl mary.john.pl fred.blah.pl mary.john.pl fred.blah.pl
You can then press <Ctrl>9 a few times and quickly get this:
blah.fred.pl john.mary.pl blah.fred.pl john.mary.pl blah.fred.pl john.mary.pl blah.fred.pl
In what I do I am often fiddling about with such blocks of filenames and code.
I'm afraid I don't know of any way how to do it right now (please correct me when I'm wrong) and I'm not sure whether this feature is useful to be part of Geany's main distribution. But I can imagine of two ways how to implement this: 1.) Creating a small [shell|python|perl|ruby|awk|sed|...]script and use it with custom command feature http://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#send-text-through-definable-c... 2.) Building a plugin for doing this which would cause a lot of overhead but makes it maybe more comfortable for other users.
Thanks, Frank
