Simple Text Editor Using Ropes Data Structure

This is the final project for the course Data Structures II - CS 201, offered in Spring 2023 by Habib University. It is a simple Text Editor created from scratch using Python and Tkinter implemented on Ropes Data Structure.

About Ropes

A Rope data structure is a tree data structure which is used to store or manipulate large strings in a more efficient manner. It allows for operations like insertion, deletion, search and random access to be executed faster and much more efficiently in comparison to a traditional String.

This data structure is widely used by softwares such as text editors like Sublime, email systems like Gmail and text buffers to handle large strings efficiently.

Create Rope Object

rope = Rope("Hello, world! ")

Search

searchResult = rope.search(rope.root, "ello", 0) print(searchResult)

Insertion

rope.insert(rope.root, "Yousuf", 14)

Deletion

rope.delete(rope.root, 0, 14)

Replace

rope.replace(rope.root, "Yousuf", "Uyghur")

print(rope) print(rope.root.size)
