Insert text programtically into active editor [message #333054]

Hello,

I can get the active page and the document. When I do this:

document.replace(1,0,"some text");

I get a BadLocationException. I noticed that this exception only occurs
when the text file is empty or when there is no text at the offset to
replace.

Could anyone help me with these?

Thanks,

Jason

I think IDocuments start with an offset of 0. You should start replacing
from 0 instead of 1, that should solve the "text file is empty" problem
I think.
