[texworks] SCRIPTING: Autocompletion based on the current file.

[Paul A Norman]

Dear Henrik,

I really like your script very useful thank you - sorry that it has
taken so long to get back.

I am going to have more of a look at it over the next few days.

>"My question is then how to determine the other tex files witch are
opened by texworks when the script is invoked?"

This link if you have not already found the information may help, the
terminology may have not been obvious.

http://twscript.paulanorman.com/docs/html/files/getOpenWindows.html

You would want in terms of that link

 var windows =  TW.app.getOpenWindows();
   var textList = [];

     for (editor in windows)
          {
            var targetDocument = windows[editor];
           textList.push(targetDocument.text + "\n");
            }

Or augment a string perhaps instead of an array

Please let me know if I have misunderstood what you were looking for,

Paul
