Interactive syntax highlighter for AU3

[James]

I gave you the standard blue to begin with, 0000FF, then added the Dark Blue because ptrex mentioned it as well.

That's enough for today. I'm outta here.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Sorry people it's really hot where I am here in the library full of computers and no open windows. I tried to open them and was told off - No one go off topic now.

[James]

OK, here is what I have done so far:

Added:

Func|EndFunc|If|Then|EndIf|For|Step|Next|While|WEnd|Switch|EndSwitch|Select|EndSelect|Do|Until|Retur

n|Global|Local|Dim|ReDim|Const|Case to the list of conditionals (I hope that is the name).

Exit|ReDim to the functions.

= to an operator (red) I hope that's right.

When you type "msgbox" (lowercase) and hit Tab codepress will now fill in the MsgBox function leaving the caret ready for the first parameter.

When you type "select" (lowercase) and hit Tab codepress will write out a Select statement.

When you type "cw" (lowercase) and hit Tab codepress will make an empty ConsoleWrite with the @CRLF.

I don't know where you are looking, but in the office site I don't see anything related to AU3.

The only way I can test is on my own server ?!

And without the modified files there is nothing to test.

Oh no, I mean I am testing it at college. I have a private storage space for this which let's me use PHP and MySQL

Like I said, I will upload the new version when I get home.

@JamesB

You' re one confusing liitle guy ?!

[James]

Sorry. I can only post the file when I get home which is now, only I have to do something so I shall edit back with it shortly.

[James]

So here it is, the current version I am working on.

Updates

CSS Conditional Statements Added

Conditional Statements added - I hope I added all of them

Quick snippets:

MsgBox: Type "msgbox" and press tab

ConsoleWrite: Type "cw" and press tab

Func: Type "func" and press tab

Select: Type "select" and press tab

Switch: Type "switch" and press tab

If: Type "if" and press tab

Should I add UDF functions as default or leave it as _+func name?

To-do:

Fix #include <> as the <> do not work

Add the compiler options

Add macro commands and not expand on the @ alone

Add more quick snippets

Add incasesensitivty. All functions are now not case sensitive.

Add include files. Doing so will allow variables with _'s to be highlighted correctly. - _Array done

If you can think of anything please tell me

[James]

Added new to-do item, which is actually done now but will be posted soon. Functions are now not case sensitive.

[James]

As you can see there are still a couple of bugs.

New:

Added macros to the to-do list.

No files yet as I am still fixing bugs!

[James]

Added includes to the to-do list.

Reason, when you currently write out a variable with an underscore such as, $_MyVar the underscore is not correctly highlighted. And because default includes would look nice added

[James]

Woo, all includes are done! Update will be ready in 10 minutes!

[James]

Update: Version 2

New features:

All includes are now included!

Underscores and variables ($_MyVar) are now properly highlighted

Conditional statements should all have been added now

New snippets:

hks + tab = HotKeySet

toolt + tab = ToolTip

cwe + tab = ConsoleWriteError

Fixed:

Removed exit from functions

All functions, includes and conditional statements are not case sensitive!

To-Do:

Fix #include to allow <Include.au3> to be highlighted correctly

Add macros and not expand on any @

Add compiler directives

Add [] brackets - Now highlighted

Add expansion on < (Returns <>)

IMPORTANT: Previously Codepress would expand on any @. To save confusion I have completely removed @ highlighting until I can add all macros!

If I have missed anything not on the to-do list, _includes etc please tell me

Thank you,

James

[James]

Haha, just realised I have missed, Else, True and False

Please check to-do list. I wont upload the current version until I have pretty much if not completed that list. Doesn't seem that important, no-one looks

[James]

For anyone who wants to try it but doesn't want to download codepress, you can try it here. The link may not always be active and the product could differ from what I am working on.

[ptrex]

@JamesB

The last version has lost the @ macro's syntax highlighting.

Also the COM properties need to light up in the same color as the Conditional Statements.

Example : $vbs.language -> language should light up in the different color.

These are also missing in the Conditional statements : Else|False|True|Default

For the rest a good job so far.

ptrex, I did say that I removed macros because of possible confusion.

I would have to search for a "." and highlight beyond that I have added the rest of the functions

[ptrex]

Indead.

I removed macros because of possible confusion.

What kind of confusion ?

regards

ptrex

[James]

@JamesB, Indead.

Simple regexp I hope

What kind of confusion ?

Well the user could type @Myscrptidri and it would highlight breaking the script.

[ptrex]

@JamesB

Well the user could type @Myscrptidri and it would highlight breaking the script.

Not really, if yoy put the list of all macro terms in there. Like you did for all the functions.

Just a suggestion.

PS :

I juist uncommented the Macro statement in your file and added it back to where it was.

But this screws up the whole thing ? It does not add the CR at each line.

Any idea why ?

regards

ptrex

[James]

Yes. I messed up the RegExp string.

You are using:

{ input : /(\@[\w\.]*)/g, output : '<em>$1</em>' }, // Macros

Right?
