Vectorscript Development Tools for Windows: Notepad++


brudgers

Recommended Posts

Notepad++ can be downloaded from CNET:

http://download.cnet.com/Notepad/3000-2352_4-10327521.html?tag=mncol

The sourceforge page is here:

http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/about.php

1. I've linked userdefinelang.xml which includes settings for vectorscript keywords, operators, etc.

Copy it to %appdata%\notepad++

You can open this folder by entering %appdata%\notepad++ in the run box on the start menu.

userdefinelang.xml also includes ~start and ~finish for folding. I'll probably write some vectorscript to parse this out in the next few days.

2. I've linked vectorscript.xml which governs auto completion.

It should be copied to c:\program files\notepad++\plugins\APIs ? or program files (x86) if you're running an x64 flavor of windows.

1. userDefineLang.xml

2. vectorscript.xml

Hello,

Maybe i have dome something wrong.

I downloaded the files and i think i put them in there proper place. i see the language choice for vectorscript, but when i select it only shows green text for my scripts. I sure would love to have this working. What could i have done wrong? Any clues???

I think it may be putting on of the files in the wrong place.

Thanks in Advance

I've replaced userdefinelang.xml on the server.

There were several corrections.

1. Made keywords case insensitive.

2. Comment line { } and block comments (* *) were entered correctly.

3. File association with VSS was added.

It should format existing files correctly now.

And it should automatically format .vss files.

I've made some changes, I hope Brudgers don't mind...

These are the things I've changed:

- every Begin-End can be fold

- every Case-End van be fold

- all numbers will be recognised

- all strings between '' will be recognised.

- some colors has changed

Any errors and/or adjustments are very welcome.

The file is a zip file, so please replace the .pdf by .zip!

If you're looking for free, try TextWrangler (Mac App Store) with the VSS language module:

http://www.vectorlab.info/index.php?title=VSS_Language_Module_for_BBedit_%26_TextWrangler

This will also work with BBEdit (paid).

I tend to use TextMate (http://www.macromates.com) with the Vectorscript language bundle (https://github.com/textmate/vectorscript.tmbundle ... I'm the author of the original bundle, and I shamefully haven't gotten around to stitching in any changes to the official repository since 2007, so email me if you need it).

Well that's interesting because : (* Comments *) works also.

I found this in the VS language guide and I used it lots of times.

The alternate syntax is parenthesis asterisk:

(* *)

This can be used to comment out a block of the script that may already contain comments.

For example:

(* block comment

{Some comment line.}

{Another comment.}

*)

I did not know this. Thx for this, I need this from time to time. It will be faster now to comment out for debugging purposes.
