About

open-editor allows you to open the system default editor to edit files or simply get the result as a String.

It also supports calling a specific editor or opening on specific line and column numbers.

Quick Start

See the examples for more details.

Writing in a file

use open_editor::EditorCallBuilder;

let filename = PathBuf::from_str("./file.txt")?;

EditorCallBuilder::new()
    .at_line(5)
    .at_column(42)
    .open_file(&filename)?;

Getting the result as a String

use open_editor::open_editor;

let content = open_editor()?;
assert!(!content.is_empty(), "Nothing was written");

Editing Strings

use open_editor::edit_string;

let template = "Hello, {name}!\nWelcome to {place}.";
let filled_template = edit_string(template)?;
