I'm currently playing with geanylua 0.7 and geany 0.14. As you may see, I'm a Lua newbie and this is part of my first script...

I would line to extract the remaining part of a line but without trailing whitespaces and without the \n.

Here a snippet of my code, where _to is the starting point of the needed string and curr_line is the result of geany.lines(..):

if ( #curr_line > (_to+1) ) then _strip_from,_strip_to=string.find(curr_line,"[ \t]*\n",_to+1) if _strip_from then print(string.format("strip from pos %d to %d",_strip_from,_strip_to)) cmd=string.sub(curr_line,_to+1,_strip_from) else cmd=string.sub(curr_line,_to+1) end ...

Thanx
