Hello, I have a pretty beefy table, and my organisation skills are messy, i spend a lot of time searching for where i put a script, or hack.
Is there any way to add a search box, so i can search for script names with a click or a Ctrl+F?

i believe this should be possible with some Lua magic, right?

Thanks very much!

EDIT:

i found this older video with dead links of someone showing off such a thing

Sure, it's possible.
Code:
local addressList = getAddressList()
local search = "Description"
for i = 0, addressList.Count - 1 do
  local record = addressList.MemoryRecord[i]
  if record.Description:find(search) then
    addressList.setSelectedRecord(record)
    break
  end
end

I'm not seeing any direct "Parent" property, so you may have to manually find its parent and determine if you need to expand it.

Maybe post a request here to develop an extension:

i just played with this, and this would work perfect for my needs, is there a way to make this a little more accessibly tho? so i dont have to open up and change a script each time to do a search?

Code:

if (fd==nil) then
  fd=createFindDialog()

  fd.Options="[frDown, frHideEntireScope, frHideUpDown, frHideWholeWord, frHideMatchCase]"
  fd.OnFind=function(fd)
    local addressList = getAddressList()
    local search = fd.FindText
    local startindex=0
    if addressList.SelectedRecord~=nil then
      startindex=addressList.SelectedRecord.Index+1
    end

    for i = startindex, addressList.Count - 1 do
      local record = addressList.MemoryRecord[i]
      if record.Description:find(search) then
        addressList.setSelectedRecord(record)
        break
      end
    end
  end
end

pm=getAddressList().Popupmenu
mi=createMenuItem(pm)
mi.Caption="Find"
mi.Shortcut="Ctrl+F"
mi.OnClick=function()
  fd.Execute()
end
pm.Items.insert(0,mi)

Try this:

Prepend your search term with a minus sign to search backward.
Will also loop over to the other side of the ring when top or bottom
of the list has been reached.

e.g. search "asdf" to search forward "-asdf" to search backward.

Code:
function doSearch(search, currentindex, addressList, direction, firstpass)
    local count = addressList.Count
    if (direction == -1) then
        search = string.sub(search, 2, -1)
        if (firstpass == 1) then
            startindex = currentindex-1
            endindex = 0
        else
            startindex = count-1
            endindex = currentindex+1
        end
    else
        if (firstpass == 1) then
            startindex = currentindex+1
            endindex = count-1
        else
            startindex = 0
            endindex = currentindex-1
        end
    end
    for i = startindex, endindex, direction do
        local record = addressList.MemoryRecord[i]
        if string.find( string.upper(record.Description), string.upper(search) ) then
            return record
        end
    end
    return nil
end

if (fd==nil) then
    fd=createFindDialog()

    fd.Options="[frDown, frHideEntireScope, frHideUpDown, frHideWholeWord, frHideMatchCase]"
    fd.OnFind=function(fd)
        local addressList = getAddressList()
        local search = fd.FindText
        local currentindex = 0
        local direction =  (string.sub(search, 1, 1) ~= '-') and 1 or -1
        if (addressList.SelectedRecord ~= nil) then
            currentindex=addressList.SelectedRecord.Index
        end
        local recordFound = doSearch(search, currentindex, addressList, direction, 1)
        if (recordFound == nil) then
            recordFound = doSearch(search, currentindex, addressList, direction, 0)
        end
        if (recordFound ~= nil) then
            addressList.setSelectedRecord(recordFound)
        end
    end

    pm=getAddressList().Popupmenu
    mi=createMenuItem(pm)
    mi.Caption="Find"
    mi.Shortcut="Ctrl+F"
    mi.OnClick=function()
        fd.Execute()
    end
    pm.Items.insert(0,mi)
end

Please note that I've coded less than 50 lines of LUA prior to this, so
take the code with a grain of salt. I'm not even sure if I can leave
that second part as a naked script. Maybe I have to wrap that in a
"main()" looking wrapper for it to be kosher?
It seems to work on my end but I can't be sure. :shrug:
