UDL: Suffix Mode
-
Ok, you are using npp 7.5.9 which means you should be able to use
Plugin Manger to install PythonScript plugin.
(Just keep in mind that if you upgrade to a newer (but still betas) version
there are a lot of changes in the plugin area!!)Could you just copy and paste the example - makes it easier for me to use it for testing :-D
-
Eko has offered to create something for you (I think). It would be nice if you could give him some actual text – not just a screenshot – to start working with.
-
My apologies. I thought you were looking for something visual. Thanks again!
for index=1 to udim(ButtonNumbers) if Fkey==ButtonNumbers(index) then let FnHasBeenPressed=1 let OrderNumber$=OrderNumbers$(FirstOrderOfPage-61+index) if udim(Keys$) then let UniqueKey$=Keys$(FirstOrderOfPage-61+index) end if end if next index -
Is it always a word which ends with $ or might it be that
non-word characters like minus underscore etc… are part of
the variable as well.
Basically I’m asking if a regex like\w+?\$would do the job
or if it is needed to have something like\b.+?\$\b -
@Eko-palypse said:
or maybe a better approach - what allows the language how a variable
can be defined -
Always with $. The only time $ would ever be used in this language is to end a string variable.
-
No, there is a misunderstanding, if I use
\w+?\$
then a variable like UniqueKey$ will be colored but a variable like
Unique-Key$ won’t be.
If I know what the language allows, which chars can be used for a
variable name, then we can find the right regex to make this work. -
String functions can also end with a $ but those I have listed as a keyword in my UDL with prefix mode enabled. Since every function begins with “fn”.
-
Good to know - do you have a reference to the language you are using?

I can also give you the section from my userDefineLang.xml if it’s helpful
-
So this is what we are looking for, right?

Do the following
-
copy the script
-
goto Plugins->Python Script->New Script
-
give it a meaningful name and press save button
-
paste the script into the newly ceated document
-
save it
-
open one of your BR! Source files
-
click on Plugins->Python Script->Scripts->NAME_OF_THE_NEWLY_CREATED_PYTHONSCRIPT
If you want to know the details, let me know.

-
btw, when it works like you want and want it to be available automatically
on every npp startup we need to create a USER startup.py but
I guess this can be discussed it the script is useful to you at all -
Thanks for putting the time into this!
First, will this work on 64 bit N++?
I had some trouble finding a version of Python Script that was compatible but I managed to find a beta version.
also, I’m getting this error.

Yes, as I’m using x64 version as well.
Where did you download pythonscript plugin from?
Why didn’t you use Plugin Manager?
The official release channel for python script plugin is here. -
I don’t have plugin manager so I went through http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php?title=Plugin_Central .
Thanks for dealing with my idiocy. Going through plugin manager worked perfectly. Is there any way I can donate for your time?

Is there any way I can donate for your time?
yes, we urgently need 5 macbook pro’s. 👍
thanks in advance. 😂
