SelectionEvaluateCreateCell
SelectionEvaluateCreateCell[notebook]
takes the current selection in a notebook and creates a new cell containing the result obtained by evaluating the contents of the selection using the kernel.
SelectionEvaluateCreateCell[notebook,sel]
sets the current selection after the evaluation to be as specified by sel.
Details
- The first argument of SelectionEvaluateCreateCell is a NotebookObject.
- Possible settings for sel are as in NotebookWrite.
- The default for sel is After.
- SelectionEvaluateCreateCell[notebook,All] sets the current selection to be the cell corresponding to the result from the evaluation.
- SelectionEvaluateCreateCell performs the same underlying operation as typing
![TemplateBox[{shift, return}, Key1, BaseStyle -> {Notes, FontWeight -> Plain, FontFamily -> Source Sans Pro}]](Files/SelectionEvaluateCreateCell.en/1.png "TemplateBox[{shift, return}, Key1, BaseStyle -> {Notes, FontWeight -> Plain, FontFamily -> Source Sans Pro}]")
in the front end. It does not, however, have side effects such as incrementing $Line.

Scope (2)
Make the selection be a point within an input cell:
nb = NotebookPut[Notebook[{Cell[BoxData[RowBox[{"17", "^", "4"}]], "Input"]}]];SelectionMove[nb, Before, CellContents];
SelectionEvaluateCreateCell takes the whole cell as input:
SelectionEvaluateCreateCell[nb]
nb = NotebookPut[Notebook[{Cell[BoxData[RowBox[{"17", "^", "3"}]], "Input"], Cell["text", "Text"], Cell[BoxData[RowBox[{"17", "^", "4"}]], "Input"]}]];SelectionMove[nb, All, Notebook]
Evaluate all the evaluatable cells in the selection:
SelectionEvaluateCreateCell[nb]
Properties & Relations (1)
SelectionEvaluate evaluates the selected expression in place:
nb = NotebookPut[Notebook[{Cell[BoxData[RowBox[{"17", "^", "4"}]], "Input"]}]];SelectionMove[nb, All, CellContents]
SelectionEvaluate[nb]
