PSPad configuration utility for AutoIt v3

[LazyCoder]

I use PSPad to write my AutoIt v3 scripts. Thus I came to make a little tool to reproduce/re-install my AutoIt v3 configuration and preferences for PSPad.

Maybe this tool can be interesting for others.

This tool includes:

- Tidy (thanks to Jos van der Zande)

- CompileAu3 (thanks again to Jos van der Zande)

- Au3Check (thanks to Tylo)

Of course, I'll try to update my tools as often as AutoIt or those tools are updated.

Indeed, I'm usure I'm using the up-to-date version of those tools, but I release my tool anyway, just to see whether it's a good thing to share or not.

Please note that the syntax and clips are those corresponding to the BETA version of AutoIt (the one I use...).

Enjoy!

CompileAU3 is an older version, should be v 1.0.5... (I haven't been updating the "My Autoit3 stuff" webpage text but the links are up-to-date. )

[LazyCoder]

Thank you.

Updated

[LazyCoder]

I'm almost sure I'm the only one here using PSPad rather than Scite to write my AutoIt scripts... but anyway, I updated my configuration tool to the last 3.0.103 version.

For the happy few (very few I guess...)

I use it too. Since yesterday.

I'll try your tool out now.

[LazyCoder]

-Thanks God for small mercies-

I used to use PSPad at first until I used JdeB's Scite4Autoit3. Haven't went back since then, Scite4Autoit3 is awesome and is continually updated like clock work. JdeB is awesome !!

[SlimShady]

It has a few bugs.

You really need to test it before release.

- Check the "external applications" section; "%File%" is not always needed

- AU3Record is not installed here.

- There was something with the Tidy installation. Can't remember...

EDIT: removed post because i think i misunderstood previous postings.... sorry. :">

I also use PSPad. I simply love it! The only missing thing for it is the CodeExplorer for AutoIt. Then it'd be perfect.

I haven't tried Scite since a lot of time ago but when I tried it was nice but seemed less featured than PSPad. The only thing that Scite had that PSPad had not was code folding and that is not such a big deal for me.

I'd like to encourage everyone to try PSPad. It is really great free software, with a lot of features, like built-in comparison tool, and a lot more.

Cheers,

Angel

@SlimShady :

That's right, I didn't test this one as much as my first one...

As I really intend to test my work before ANY release, I sincerely apologize.

- The useless "%File%" where bad Copy'n'paste results...

- AU3Record is now installed (error so stupid I'm still amazed I made it... )

- I relied till then on Tidy installation. That's why at the end it proposed to open a file to tidy. Modified so that you only have the configuration panel then continue PSPAu3Conf installation.

So it's updated (v1.0.4.0), was much more tested and should almost be "monkey-proof" this time - as I say.

[SlimShady]

Don't worry, it's OK.

I'm glad you fixed the obvious bugs.

3 things:

- suggestion: uninstallation support

- a debug box is showing up

- bug: the path to the compiler is incorrect.

About the last one:

I made a batch file that runs Au3Check first.

It will only compile if there are no errors.

The errors will be shown.

Another suggestion:

- Add Au3Check in the "External Programs" list

You may edit and use my batch file if you want.

I have put CheckComp.bat in the following folder:

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Extras\Compileau3

I tested it and it works great.

(Rename it with the extension .BAT)

[LazyCoder]

Updated (v1.0.4.1):

- Removed DEBUG window (damn, was I tired to forget it?)

- Changed compiler path

With PSPad you do not need to make such a batch file: you "compile" with Au3Check then launch CompileAu3. If Au3Check returns an error code, you don't got any further so...

And with this use, you can double-click on the error lines shown in the log panel to directly go there and correct your code.

My mistake was that I forgot the "Run after compilation" line in my tool.

I'll soon work on uninstallation ability and will improve my installation too.

Thanks for your feedback.

Ah. Now I understand. Good idea.

[LazyCoder]

Updated to v1.0.4.2 to include Au3Check v1.24...

LazyCoder, you don't really need to do the au3check first, since the au3check can also be done by compileau3.exe . It defaults to run it.

[LazyCoder]

Updated (v1.0.4.4):

- updated Au3Check v1.25

- changed Au3Check install dir to allow CompileAu3 to launch is own checking (sorry I missed that before)

@JdeB:

I know that, but if I use my sequence, PSPad is able to redirect Au3Check output to a LOG window that I can use to correct my code by double-clicking on the error line.

CompileAu3 treats Au3Check a transparent way and thus do not provide this output.

Moreover, CompileAu3 first shows its window, before any syntax checking, while I consider more logical and efficient to check file first and then display CompileAu3 console...

But that's purely personal.

Thanks for your help and advices.

What happened to the download?

[azjerry]

Is the download available somewhere? I'm having trouble getting PSPad completely integrated with AU3. I "compile" with Au3Check and then run Aut2EXE to compile. But double-clicking on an error message doesn't bring me to the error location.

I probably just need the proper highlighter settings for AutoIt files.
