UDL documentation (()) operator

Alan Kilborn

You are talking about Scintilla code, and that is fine, except when you talk about changing it you are talking in the wrong place. Scintilla is a separate project from Notepad++.

Ummm… Not so sure. LexUser.cpp is in the scintilla folder, because it’s a lexer… but if you grab the scintilla source code, it doesn’t include LexUser.cpp, and the copyright notice for LexUser.cpp says,

this file is part of notepad++
Copyright (C)2003 Don HO ...

whereas the other lexers in that folder retain their scintilla copyright notices. I think the UDL lexer is Notepad++ controlled, despite being compiled in that folder.

Ah, okay, maybe just a “bad” location for the file. :-)

I tested It in a UDL and it appears to work as noted inside the ((…)) operator as I remember.

If you’re still around: my experiments with ((end\bif)) didn’t seem to match what you were describing. Was it delimiters, comments, or folding where you got it to work? Could you do a screenshot of the UDL window where you have that example working (feel free to black out anything that you think is proprietary).

I have the same question about where this works. ((EOL)) does not work as a folder 2 close where I tried it. To prove a concept I also tried using /r/n /r /n in the list and not surprisingly that did not work. The tinyxml… code indicates that and could work but they did not (I included the following ). Furthermore once they are entered into the file, they do not appear when reopening the UDL configuration window even though they still appear in the file.

I am pretty sure a \b^\v as the middle of the folder type 2 is NOT actually doing what I expect which is to be a continuation character. So while the syntax is understood, using that appears not to yield the desired results.

I successfully completed the forward keyword hack of the delimiter logic and have submitted it for inclusion. At the same time I also fixed some colorizing issues when items in my case numbers and keywords appeared as the last items in a file not followed by white space and have submitted that code for approval too.

if I remember what I read was “end\bif” would match end if, end or if (three things). However ((endif end\bif)) should only match 2 things. Meaning I believe that ((end end\bif) is expected to match two things what many like want “end\bif” to do. The quotes “…” instead of the ((…)) as documented was supposed to change the behavior of the contents.

No other than understanding the syntax I am not sure I have had success with \b or \v outside delimiters or inside double quotes or inside double parens, yet.

There are escaped xml hex values for \r \n in one of the sentences above that do not display in the text as in hex a and hex d.

Alan I made the same mistake you did – I submitted my changes to scintilla and was told that was notepad code. I had the additional embarassment of contacting the wrong person.

@dshuman52 I have been digging through the code. It appears only the some lists understand the ((…)) operator.

the following lists may support the ((…)) operator:

commentLineOpen, commentLineContinue, commentLineClose, commentOpen, commentClose, delim1Open, delim1Escape, delim1Close, delim2Open, delim2Escape, delim2Close, delim3Open, delim3Escape, delim3Close, delim4Open, delim4Escape, delim4Close, delim5Open, delim5Escape, delim5Close, delim6Open, delim6Escape, delim6Close, delim7Open, delim7Escape, delim7Close, delim8Open, delim8Escape, delim8Close, FoldersInCode1Open, FoldersInCode1Middle, FoldersInCode1Close, Operators1

whether ((end end\bif)) works in the above lists is unknown to me

The numbers and the following list of lists do not appear understand ((…))

All numbers list, OPERATOR2, FOLDER_IN_CODE2(all), FOLDER_IN_COMMENT(all), KEYWORD1, KEYWORD2, KEYWORD3, KEYWORD4, KEYWORD5, KEYWORD6, KEYWORD7, KEYWORD8

All lists appear to have some support for \b and \v however it only between two items like “end\bif” or “end\vif” not apparently as a prefix or suffix. This is from a quick viewing of the code. I would not guarantee any of these observations.

@dshuman52 peter if you are still there. From what I have read getting a \b of \v through xml 1.0 is not possible and even with xml 1.1 which may or may not be supported means support for these characters is on a case by case basis. I believe there are permissible control characters higher in the ascii range that could be mapped to \b and \v – would that be an acceptable sounding if it were to be coded. Using 2 chars a \ and a b I have improved on the existing code. Does anyone have suggestions on what characters to map to what characters?

@dshuman52

The following code performs substitutions on a space inside single or double quotes of \b or \v respectively. That is how you activate the existing code “end if” means end\vif or ‘end case’ means end\bcase.

only apparently in the following buffers.
