Searching/Navigating Between Marker Text in Soundflow?

Funny you should ask!!!! Hahahahhaaaa

Stand by!

Hi @Sam_Ada,

Here is a script that will navigate to the next memory location whos name includes the matching text.

function getCurrentMemoryLocationNumber() {
    const memoryLocations = sf.app.proTools.memoryLocations.invalidate()
        .allItems.map(memLoc => memLoc);

    const playheadLocationSamples = Number(sf.app.proTools.getTimelineSelection({
        timeScale: "Samples"
    }).inTime);

    // Sort Memory Locations by distance to playhead
    memoryLocations.sort((a, b) => {
        const aDistanceToPlayhead = Number(a.startTimeInSamples) - playheadLocationSamples;
        const bDistanceToPlayhead = Number(b.startTimeInSamples) - playheadLocationSamples;
        return Math.abs(aDistanceToPlayhead) - Math.abs(bDistanceToPlayhead);
    });

    return memoryLocations[0].number
}

function navigateToNextMemoryLocationWithText({ searchText }) {
    sf.app.proTools.invalidate();
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

    const memoryLocations = sf.app.proTools.memoryLocations;
    const matchingMemoryLocations = memoryLocations.allItems.filter(ml => {
        return ml.name.toLowerCase().includes(searchText.toLowerCase())
    }).map(ml => ml.number);

    // Get the current or closest previous memory location
    const currentMemoryLocation = getCurrentMemoryLocationNumber();
    const nextMatchingMemoryLocation = matchingMemoryLocations.find(mlNumber => mlNumber > currentMemoryLocation)

    sf.app.proTools.selectMemoryLocation({
        number: nextMatchingMemoryLocation
    });
}

navigateToNextMemoryLocationWithText({
    searchText: "Text here"
});

This could also be improved to add modes for navigating to next/previous first/last etc. But I'll let you dog into that :-)

Rock on!

Hi @Sam_Ada,

Here is an improved version with Next/Previous options + some refactoring.

sf.app.proTools.invalidate();
sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

const memoryLocations = sf.app.proTools.memoryLocations.invalidate().allItems.map(memLoc => memLoc);

function getCurrentMemoryLocationNumber() {
    const playheadLocationSamples = Number(sf.app.proTools.getTimelineSelection({
        timeScale: "Samples"
    }).inTime);

    // Sort Memory Locations by distance to playhead
    memoryLocations.sort((a, b) => {
        const aDistanceToPlayhead = Number(a.startTimeInSamples) - playheadLocationSamples;
        const bDistanceToPlayhead = Number(b.startTimeInSamples) - playheadLocationSamples;
        return Math.abs(aDistanceToPlayhead) - Math.abs(bDistanceToPlayhead);
    })[0].number;

    const memoryLocationNumber = memoryLocations[0].number;

    return memoryLocationNumber
}
/**
 * @param {object} args
 * @param {string} args.searchText
 * @param {'Next'|'Previous'} args.mode
 */
function navigateToNextMemoryLocationWithText({ searchText, mode }) {

    const matchingMemoryLocations = memoryLocations.filter(ml => {
        return ml.name.toLowerCase().includes(searchText.toLowerCase())
    }).map(ml => ml.number);

    // Get the current or closest previous memory location
    const currentMemoryLocation = getCurrentMemoryLocationNumber();

    // Find next/previous matching memory location number
    const targetMemoryLocationNumber = matchingMemoryLocations.find(mlNumber => {
        if (mode === "Next") {
            return mlNumber > currentMemoryLocation
        } else if (mode === "Previous") {
            return mlNumber < currentMemoryLocation
        }
    });

    if (!targetMemoryLocationNumber) throw `No ${mode} matching Memory Location was found.`

    sf.app.proTools.selectMemoryLocation({
        number: targetMemoryLocationNumber
    });
}

navigateToNextMemoryLocationWithText({
    searchText: "TEXT HERE",
    mode: "Next",
});
