[Biococoa-dev] strider and gck format

[Alexander Griekspoor]

Hi Koen,

Indeed, I use a stripForeignCharacters method in EnzymeX and iRNAi,  
still have to move it to the shouldChangeTextinRange method  
(currently it is still invoked on the whole textStorage every time).  
It indeed also does the case conversion. I'm not sure if you can use  
a formatter in combination with a textview, I thought only with a  
textfield (update, just checked. setformatter: indeed only works with  
NSCell, but perhaps you could set it on the fieldeditor. probably  
also not, because that one is also of class NSText).
Cheers,
Alex

- (void)stripForeignCharacters{
         NSRange oldRange = [sequenceView selectedRange];


         NSTextStorage* textstorage = [sequenceView textStorage];
         NSString* strippedString = @"";
         NSString* oldString = [[textstorage string] uppercaseString];
         NSMutableString* newString = [NSMutableString  
stringWithCapacity: [textstorage length]];

         NSScanner* scanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString: oldString];
         [scanner scanUpToCharactersFromSet: charSet intoString: nil];
         while ( [scanner isAtEnd] == NO) {
             if(![scanner scanCharactersFromSet: charSet intoString:  
&strippedString]) continue;
             [newString appendString: strippedString];
             if(![scanner scanUpToCharactersFromSet: charSet  
intoString: nil]) continue;
         }

         NSAttributedString* attstring = [[NSAttributedString alloc]  
initWithString: newString];
         [textstorage setAttributedString: attstring];

         [textstorage addAttribute: NSFontAttributeName
                             value: [NSFont fontWithName: @"Courier"  
size: 12.0]
                             range: NSMakeRange (0,[[textstorage  
mutableString] length])];

         [attstring release];

          if(oldRange.length == 0 && ([[textstorage mutableString]  
length] > oldRange.location)){
             [sequenceView setSelectedRange: NSMakeRange 
(oldRange.location, 0)];
          }
		
		 [mainWindow makeFirstResponder: sequenceView];

}
