Action

Posted by Chris Grieser, Last update over 3 years ago

Puts a marker at the 280 character limit of the Draft and informs how many characters are left.

Useful for drafting tweets.

Steps

script

char_limit = 280; //characterlimit of Twitter defined here

//remove stop sign, in case the show-280c-limit action has already been run
draft.content = draft.content.replaceAll ("🛑","");
editor.load(draft);

//info on length
chars = draft.content.length;

if (chars > char_limit){
	editor.setTextInRange (char_limit, 0, "🛑");
	excess = chars - char_limit;
	app.displayErrorMessage(excess.toString() + " excess chars");
} else {
	remaining = char_limit - chars;
	app.displayInfoMessage(remaining.toString() + " chars remaining");
}

draft.update();
