Hi,

I am learning to write a plugin. My target is replacing the selected text.
The selection I know how to do, but how to replace the selection as any
string ?

I try use the

window.getActivePage().getActiveEditor().getEditorInput()

to get FileEditorInput and get the IFile instance.
it can append contents or set contents in the file,
but I only want to modfiy the editor buffer not the real file.

Any suggestion?

I found that I can use IDocument to modify my text buffer.
