Forums Feature Suggestions Retrieving line numbers in an ON HOTLINK event

Would be very useful...

Yea probably....

But in the meantime you can always use $fline(..) to search for the macthing line number (helps if you have Timestamp as it will create "semi"-uniqe lines)

Note: Wildmatch with no wildcards equals exact match

As slartibartfast suggested, you can use something like $fline($active,$hotline). It isn't 100% accurate, because a specific line could occur twice in a window buffer, but it's close.

But I agree, I too would like a way of retrieving the line number as well as the position of the clicked word in the line.

Agreed.

While we're on the subject, I'd also like to see an identifier for on HOTLINK to give the index of the word clicked. Currently if a word appears twice on a line and is used as a hotlink it's impossible for a script to know which was clicked.

Wow, he DOES read these. Cool.
