Code version of SBS?

Clark Coots

Hey,

I was trying to dissect the Tile Sampler via Open Reference and poking through all parameters and such. It's hard to keep track of dependencies and whats linked to what. Anyone know if its possible to open an SBS in a code format in something like Notepad++ where I can easily use search/find stuff? I know it's possible to create SBS graphs via Python, looking for the reverse option.

SBS files are XML, so you can open them in any tex editor but they may be harder to read than a graph.

Oh I see, I had previously opened it in a text editor but gosh it looked like gibberish, now I see it's all just on a single long line. Thanks

Some editors have 'beautify' options to visually clean files up

Don't remember which I used with Notepad++, but here's some suggestions: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7117949/how-to-auto-format-indent-xml-html-in-notepad

Atom editor has a plugin called 'Beautify'

In notepad++ sometimes works on sbs files.  Iirc there's something poopy about the encoding that makes it tricky

N++ XML Tools plugin with Pretty Print w/Line Breaks worked like a charm, thanks everyone!
