I'm working with a program that outputs trace info with line numbers, and I'd like to be able to mouse-click on part of that trace info and then "myscript [string-that-was-clicked", e.g. if the output contained a line with

Code: Select all

;       "foo" bar fie SELECT:31

I'd like to be able to click (right-click, double-click, whatever) the 'SELECT:31', and automatically have Konsole run

Code: Select all

~/myscript.sh "SELECT:31"

(where the script just opens the line in my editor). Is something like this possible, or would I be better off trying to make an emacs interpreter mode...?

There would need to be some way for konsole to parse the output, look for some sort of string or regular expression match, then somehow know what to do with it. I don't think any of these is currently possible.

OK; I thought it might be possible to hook into the same mechanism that recognises URL's, but guess that's rather deep-level then…
