New SciTE4AutoIt3 available with the updated SciTE v3.5.4 release.

[Melba23]

SkySnake,

As Au3Check is a relatively simple syntax checker, you can often get errors signalled in lines other than where the original error occurred. If you keep getting the same error for different Func lines when you move them to the top of the script, that would suggest that the error is actually in the lines 1-27 ABOVE that point. What is in those lines?

I kid you not... these are line 1-39 - prior to this will be the "end" of the previous include...

[Skysnake]

Found it!

 

Thanks Melba!

The previous include ended with a Func ... with no EndFunc -> and it did not show up there!!!! Thank you. Solved.

[Melba23]

SkySnake,

Can you let me see the files concerned (via PM if necessary) so I can try and run them myself.

Melba, Jos

Thank you for your time and patience with lost souls like me.

Here's the comparison between the new AutoComplete (Left) and Old (Right) This might fix the calltips error thing..

I know how to compare sources with WinMerge and prefer not having to look at an image for that  , but haven't found the time to really sit and compare and honestly was looking for the input from Yashied as it was his proposal for change anyways.

I'am using newer SciTE4AutoIt and SciTEConfig 15.503.1200.0

in SciTEConfig 

1. go to Edit Colors tab
2. Change Selected Text Color "Fore" to black
3. Change Selected Text Color "Back" to middle blue
4. Save+Apply

I notice that  "Fore" color did not change right away.
Even after S4AU3 restart this color is not changed.

ps. "Back" color is set correctly - right away.

[Jos]

what is "text color" ?

There are 16 Fore buttons

Jos

[mLipok]

I mean "Selected Text Color" label

so the "Fore" is:

Global $H_Selection_Color = GUICtrlCreateButton("Fore", $BaseX + 170, $BaseY + 20, 50, 20)

 

but nevermind.

Today at my Client Office I was using a bad old LCD monitor, so I try to change the colors but nothing was satisfying, so after quarter of an hour trials, for multiple monitors I made this post.
Actually I made few more test on my home new LED monitor with few other colors combination, and this seams all is OK.

Sorry for confusion.

When I use:

#Au3Stripper_Parameters=/MO /rsln /SCI=9

 

Then I get information like this:

0.08 ==> Start Add_Include: Include_Rec$:#include "FileConstants.au3"

0.08 ==> Loading Include file into source Array:c:\program files\autoit3\include\fileconstants.au3

I have a proposal/feature request:

Can this information show additional information like this:

0.08 ==> Start Add_Include:  Include_Rec$:#include "FileConstants.au3"    Encoding=$FO_UTF8
0.08 ==> Loading Include file into source Array:c:\program files\autoit3\include\fileconstants.au3

It would help me to diagnosis: Where I still have some issues with encoding in my scripts.
I thnik I can fix it manually but I need to know which file is the bad one.

EDIT:
I have an issue where Au3Stripper produce : myScript_stripped.au3 with $FO_UTF8 despite the fact that I have examined, I hope all my UDF files, and I'm sure those that are checked are encoded with $ FO_UTF8_NOBOM, however, quite possible that I missed something.

​You should get this warning when loading a UTF8 With BOM include in an AscII or UTF80WithoutBom file:

0.02 ==> Loading Include file into source Array:d:\development\autoit3\programs\test\utf8\test-utf8b.au3
!> Include file is encoded in UTF8 and Main is ASCII, which could lead to encoding issue. Please check the generated outputfile

You don't get that?

 

The Outputfile should have the same encoding as the Input MainScript.

No. I do not notice this in my cases.

The Outputfile should have the same encoding as the Input MainScript.

But it seams that this is not always true (not confirmed I must make more test/observation)

 

---

After a series of test, and analysis I find that: This problems araisen as I'm using a some kind of wrapper / Compiling tool, which uses SciTE4AutoIt to build scripts, but before compiling, makes minor changes in some files (update several parts of code).
This tool I make about 3 years ago, when I do not care about file encoding.

So this tool, badly write one of the au3 file, without taking into account, the relevant file encoding, and because of this actualy I'am not sure about your statement: "The Outputfile should have the same encoding as the Input MainScript."

 

But actually I see that the problem is only with AU3.3.10.2 or AU3.3.12.0,  and not exist in AU3.3.13.20 and for this I think this is releated to this changes:

3.3.13.17 (19th August, 2014) (Beta)
AutoIt:
- Changed: Default text file encoding changed to UTF8 without BOM. THIS IS A SCRIPT BREAKING CHANGE
- Changed: FileOpen() has new modes for forcing ANSI, UTF16-BE/LE without BOM.

If it changes the standard for UDF header, then please discuss here in order to adapt to stanadard, but also to extend its present form so that a new form for the "Return Values" was more extensive (on the principle easier to remove than add new content).

Thoughts anybody? Guess my main questions are:

• Are these changes going to break anything? thinking of the helpfle creation scripts here for starters
• is it beneficial to added more details to "; Return values .:" by default?

Jos

 

[argumentum]

Request ( or help if its already possible ) :

to have $(SciteUserHome) declared in a file ( any file, in ".lua" as a command or ".properties" as a declaration, no idea ), to override the environment variable.

The question will arise as to what do I must have that for and the answer is, not necessarily for portability but for independence of operation regardless of the current user environment.

[Jos]

This property is set in SciTE at start time and is retrieved from the Enviroment variable SCITE_USERHOME. When this doesn't exists it will use SCITE_HOME.
There is no other way to set this.

This has been requested to the SciTE developers before but for some reason they don't make an implementation. I don't see why not. But I coded a loader

If @Compiled Then
    Local $n, $s
    EnvSet("SCITE_USERHOME", @ScriptDir) ; it does what I want to without changing anything permanently
    If Not ProcessExists("SciTE.exe") Then
        Run("SciTE.exe", @ScriptDir) ; LoadSession.lua is not working for me =/
        ProcessWait("SciTE.exe")
        Sleep(100)
    EndIf
    For $n = 1 To $CmdLine[0]
        Run('SciTE.exe "' & $CmdLine[$n] & '"', @ScriptDir) ; simple load each
    Next
    Run("SciTE.exe", @ScriptDir) ; bring SciTE to front
EndIf

and that does what I wanted.

Thanks for sparking the candle to illuminate my brain

I don't know where to ask but I'd guess here is going to be noted.
I patch the new SciteConfig.au3 to account for a portable setup.
Did not change more than necessary, searching in the script for $g_iPortable will show the modifications.
The modified file is attached here.
I'm posting this because I'd like this minimal change applied to the next distribution of the utility.

Thanks in advance.
