Sorry, I think no one can help you on this before you provide more
information on what you want to do (.i.e. are you talking about
writing a plugin, selecting inside an (what) editor, ...).

The Eclipse editors don't support rectangular/columnar selection. Here's
the feature request that asks for it:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=19771 (also note the other
bugs that it depends on).

Hi,

emasc has a set of commands operating on rectangles built in, e.g.:

clear-rectangle C-x r c
Command: Blank out the region-rectangle.
copy-rectangle-to-register C-x r r
Command: Copy rectangular region into register REGISTER.
delete-rectangle C-x r d
Command: Delete (don't save) text in the region-rectangle.
kill-rectangle C-x r k
Command: Delete the region-rectangle and save it as the last killed one.
open-rectangle C-x r o
Command: Blank out the region-rectangle, shifting text right.
replace-rectangle M-x ... RET
Command: Replace rectangle contents with STRING on each line.
string-insert-rectangle M-x ... RET
Command: Insert STRING on each line of region-rectangle, shifting text right.
string-rectangle C-x r t
Command: Replace rectangle contents with STRING on each line.
yank-rectangle C-x r y
Command: Yank the last killed rectangle with upper left corner at point.

Cheers

Martin

I'm new to Eclipse, so I haven't tried this yet.
If you are doing enought of this to make it worth while:

Export the file to the file system,and edit it with Microsoft Word.

Then you can use the vertical block select:
Click at the start of the block, to position the insertion point.

From Word help:

(1)Using the mouse:
A vertical block of text (except within a table cell)
Hold down ALT, and then drag over the text.
A graphic

(2)Using the arrow keys:
CTRL+SHIFT+F8, and then use the arrow keys; press ESC to cancel selection
mode
To a vertical block of text

Press Esc to get out of the vertical block selection mode.

Save the document as text.

Import it back into Eclipse.
