What is the error in this code

[kcvinu]

Hi all,

I am trying to make simple function to help coding in SciTE editor. This function will automatically add an "EndIf / EndFunc / WEnd / Next / EndSwitch / EndSelect / Until " after we press the enter key. It checks for first word of that line. And if the first word is " If / Func / While / For / Switch / Select / Do" , then it will work. Otherwise a normal enter key will work. Please look at my code. Unfortunately, this is not working. Please help me to find the error.

Are you trying to re-create the build-in Abbreviations functionality?

I would never approach it in this way but rather write a LUA or AutoIt3Script using the DIrector interface in the Background.

Jos

[kcvinu]

@Jos, there is an abbreviation file but it contains only some short form text like "au3.keywords.abbrev= a3w a3w2 ". I don't know how to deal with them. So i planned to make a script. And you mean this method is a slower one ?. Or an impossible one ?.

Not knowing "how it works" shouldn't be an excuse for not using it.

This method will always have the risk to conflict with something and requires this extra script to run always, were Abbrevs or Lua/Director interface work in the background.

My 2 cents

Jos

[kcvinu]

@Jos, Then where i can learn about thease " Abbrevs or Lua/Director interface". I have never seen any tutorials or examples.

Information is out there, but will take time to read/learn and understand.

Abbreviations is pretty well documented in the Helpfile and is even an script written by Melba23, included in SciTEConfig, to maintain them.

I am not going to spoon feed any of this but will help in case there are questions after I see some investment.

[kcvinu]

@Jos, Ok Thanks. If it is possible, then why we don't have this feature in SciTE ?. Is it a giant task ?

Which feature?

[kcvinu]

Pressing enter after an if statement without "Then" will display a "Then" and a new line and "EndIf" and the cursor rests in the newline. 

Edit : The same feature in visual studio

[Jos]

Have you tried typing IfThen and hit space?  (Assuming you have the full version of SciTE4Autoit3)

Jos

[kcvinu]

What i am talking about is that, after we type an "If " statement and the expression like this

If x = y

And i need a "Then" automatically right after i hit Enter. And an "EndIf" in the next line

[Jos]

Sounds like you have yourself a fun project to work on.

Jos

[kcvinu]

@Jos, The feature you said above (ifthen & space) will work but it needs two up arrow key press to type the expression.

[kcvinu]

@jos, This is not a fun project. This is a must have feature for a coding IDE. Why visual studio has this feature ?. This feature increases productivity.

seems you are serious about it, well let me know when you are done so it can be implemented in SciTE.

??

 

in au3abbrev.properties

there is

ifthen=If | ThennEndIf

when you use this like you say (ifthen & space)

then:

If "HERE IS CURSOR" Then
EndIf

so I do not understand why you say:

 it needs two up arrow key press to type the expression

Hi 

mLipok, I can't see such a file named  au3abbrev.properties in my pc.  And my arrow key rests after "Endif" .I am sure

And what i am talking about is not the abbreviation. Abbreviation only works after space key. I am talking about the Enter key. If we type "If " and the expression (say x = 15) then if we hit enter, there would be a "Then" and a new line and an "EndIf". Is this possible with an abbreviation ?

I know, you know what you want

No.

Maybe Lua.
