New SciTE4AutoIt3 available with SciTE v1.79

[Valik]

I wrote the Lua scripts and I will not change them. I'm not going to touch otherwise stable code to add support for characters you shouldn't use in a directory/file name.

[rajeshontheweb]

.. and your point is?

I am well aware of the updates made by Neil and haven't found a reason yet to start looking at the v2 developments.

Was just wondering if there is any news in the direction. Your work with this is an extremely useful contribution i would thank u again.

There's just some bugfixes / improvements in scite v2 and i am sure you would be able to decide if its gonna be worthy for us.

There's just some bugfixes / improvements in scite v2 and i am sure you would be able to decide if its gonna be worthy for us.

I am not aware of any bugfixes that we would need to implement and most of what I saw was introduced with V2 when the Multiple block selection was introduced.

We will be looking at the new version as soon as we have the feeling that the V2 version is stable enough, but there is no real rush from our site.

I don't know LUA, and that's not my department. However what I said above still stands. Custom include directories must be specified in those settings or it won't work even if you change the parser.

/edit: fix -> change (it's not broken)

Correct but he's defining a relative path directly to the include file and the search sequence logic, which would use these definitions, isn't needed.

I had the same short-circuit in my brain yesterday evening and went into "lets ask questions mode" which wasn't appreciated as far as I can tell.

Oh well "shit happens" and Valik indicated he's not fixing the LUA stuff for a reason I fully agree with.

←27,←781377]32, Any suggestions, or final comment. (I'm kinda hanging in mid air here.)

You mean that this reply didn't really mean there is no real reason yet?

Erm, Just playing around with some silly idea(s). (current idea seems to silly at this moment to go into the details.)

Its just that it demands that a specific AutoIt setting is checked(and updated if needed) before any full code parsing or processing is done.

I am not really going to add any functionality to AutoIt3Wrapper unless there is a good reason and it will serve a purpose for a larger group. Edited March 11, 2010 by Jos

suggestion. (adds a little additional built-in support for on the fly local adjustments to Scite4AutoIt3 for user api and keyword settings) (Scite4AutoIt3 update save)

Adding a empty, but specially named, variable to the api and keywords8 settings in "au3.properties" These variables can be used in a similar way as, for example the file "au3.user.calltips.api", to allow for additional user additions to the api or keywords settings. (without the need to edit "au3.properties", or copy+edit them to+in "SciTEUser.properties".)

But these variables would have the additional benefit that they, unlike the "au3.user.calltips.api" setting, also can be used for, on the fly, local adjustment of these settings. (I'm not just thinking small advance Scite(4Autoit3) user group here, but also possible future AutoIt code tools.)

file: ...\AutoIt3\SciTE\Properties\au3.properties
line ~280: api.$(au3)=$(SciteDefaultHome)\api\au3.api;$(SciteDefaultHome)\api\au3.autoit3wrapper.api;$(SciteDefaultHome)\api\au3.user.calltips.api
line ~329; keywords8.$(au3)=$(au3.keywords.udfs) $(au3.keywords.user.udfs)

With the possible variable names: $(au3.local.calltips.api) and $(au3.local.user.udfs)

those line would become:

api.$(au3)=$(SciteDefaultHome)\api\au3.api;$(SciteDefaultHome)\api\au3.autoit3wrapper.api;$(SciteDefaultHome)\api\au3.user.calltips.api;$(au3.local.calltips.api)
keywords8.$(au3)=$(au3.keywords.udfs) $(au3.keywords.user.udfs) $(au3.local.user.udfs)

If there is a alternative way to accomplish this, (without the need to edit "au3.properties", or copy+edit them to+in "SciTEUser.properties"). I'm all ears.

Trying to understand why you want one other user defined UDF definition when there is one already.

In other words: How does User.udfs differ from local.user.udfs?

Jos

[Jos]

Doesn't your au3.properties contain this already?

# Autocomplete and call tip settings
api.$(au3)=$(SciteDefaultHome)\api\au3.api;$(SciteDefaultHome)\api\au3.autoit3wrapper.api;$(SciteDefaultHome)\api\au3.user.calltips.api

Jos,Jos,Jos, I knew your turn was coming.

Just a little bug that I've noticed before and forgot to mention.

Copy/Paste the following line into a new script.

$sPath = StringRegExpReplace(@AutoItExe, "^(.+\\).+$", "$1Include\\")

On the next line type this

MsgBox(0, "TEST", $

That should be as much as you have to type to see the problem in the popup and I don't know if there is any way around it from your end.

[Valik]

I assume you are talking about $1Include appearing in the popup as if it were a variable. That will not be fixed.

[GEOSoft]

I assume you are talking about $1Include appearing in the popup as if it were a variable. That will not be fixed.

That's what I was talking about. The fact that it picks it up as a variable even though it's in a quoted string.

Not a biggie but it sure can increase the size of that popup when there are a lot of quoted variables.

[bo8ster]

Sorry if I have missed something or done something silly however I cannot solve an issue I have with the latest version of Scite.

I downloaded the zip file version as I cannot install programs at work. Scite cannot find the Au3Check.exe file. I am running in prod '/prod /AU3Check /in "F:\Test.au3'

+>11:47:11 Starting AutoIt3Wrapper v.2.0.1.24    Environment(Language:0409  Keyboard:00000409  OS:WIN_XP/Service Pack 3  CPU:X86 OS:X86)
! Unable to determine the location of the AutoIt3 program directory!
! *** AU3CHECK Error: *** Skipping AU3Check: \au3check.exe Not Found !

I changed the autoit3dir setting in the au3.properities file and Scite is able to find AutoIt3Wrapper, AU3Recorder, Tidy, help file and everything else I tested. I can also build, go, run the info tool and includes work.

Looking in the code it would appear the $Au3checkpgmdir (Global $Au3checkpgm = $INP_AutoitDir & "\au3check.exe) is not set for some reason. I noticed there are some RegReads to set it up.

I would understand if nothing worked but why is it only the AU3CHECK does not work? Since it is in the same dir as Au3Info.exe, why does that work?

Thanks

Edit It is worth noting, when build and go (F7 & F5) it appears AU3Check runs fine, the issue occurs when I press CTRL+F5.

What is your directory structure for AutoIt3 prgrams and the SciTE installation?

When are you getting the au3check error? (When doing F5/F7/Ctrl F7)

Can you show the console output when doing F5?

[bo8ster]

The error occurs when pressing Ctrl+F5 - or Tools->SyntaxCheck Prod.

The AutoIt3 program was unzipped to F:\Portable\Downloads\AutoIt. The Scite program was unzipped to F:\Portable\Downloads\AutoIt\AU3Scite.

Modifed au3.properties so autoit3dir=F:\Portable\Downloads\AutoIt. I don't know where to change $(SciteDefaultHome) so have not.

The program contains the following directives

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters= -d

Output for Build (F7)

Interestingly I tried to compile, Ctrl+F7 here is the output.

From there the AutoIt3Wrapper GUI to Compile appears. Using the GUI I can make an exe using the GUI.

I have not created or edited any other files other then indicated.

Thanks.

[Jos]

Install SciTE in a subdir called SciTE of the AutoIt3 Program directory and try again.

[bo8ster]

That has worked. I overwrote the existing Scite folder and its contents.

In this case I assume I have to have Scite in a sub directory of the autoIt dir called Sctie, thus autoit3dir/Scite or F:\Portable\Downloads\AutoIt\Scite.

[AdmiralAlkex]

Is there any chance to have "Jump to Function" (CTRL+J) and "Open Include" (ALT+I) search the "Include" registry key?

The regkey is not very useful without good support from SciTE in my opinion.

There is a special registry value that can be created at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AutoIt v3\AutoIt" called "Include". It should be a REG_SZ (string) value. The contents of this value are a semi-colon delimited list of directories that should be searched for files when resolving #include's in addition to the standard locations.

[wraithdu]

Not your exact solution, but add any paths you want searched to your SciTEUser.properties file, following the defaults, separated by semicolons:

openpath.$(au3)=$(autoit3dir)\include;C:\path\to\my\includes

openpath.beta.$(au3)=$(autoit3dir)\beta\include;C:\path\to\my\beta\includes

[Jos]

LUA isn't able to read the registry so that is why the extra variables are there.

Then I wonder, I know you can make custom dlls which functions you can call from SciTE Lua (using loadlib). For you, I imagine this would be 30 minutes work. So, why not? Edited May 18, 2010 by Manadar

[Valik]

Because it's a trivial thing and takes 30 seconds for the user to configure themselves?
