[wingide-users] Scripting Question

[James Reese]

I'm trying to write a script for Wing IDE 2.1.4 to delete all of the  
characters between the current cursor location and a character  
entered by the user. I was able to write a script that worked by  
executing the command "isearch-forward," but I was unable to figure  
out how to stop incremental searching after the first search. (I want  
the area at the bottom of the window into which the user enters the  
search text to go away automatically.) Executing the command "cancel"  
didn't work.

Next I tried using executing the command "search-char," but it  
appears to work in an ansynchronous fashion. That is, the script  
doesn't wait for the user to enter the character to search for before  
executing the rest of the script.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
