User Defined Language for GCode Help
-
I’m Trying to develop a User Defined Language for a CNC G Code system. I have it kind of working the only real thing is I can’t get the keywords to work. Is there some way to make a keyword list that overrides everything else?
Here is what I mean. Here’s a section of my file:
I am trying to make Power and Off both key words, but only Off is working, not Power. Power is all multi colored because they can perfix the numbers, but F can also prefix a number but Off still works.
I’m trying to get words from the keyword list to be orange and if a word is not in the keyword list, it will be red unless they are in a comment or a label and then they will be the comment or label color… that part is working.
Here only the Off part of Offset is orange, even though Offset is in the same list as Off, and also in I misspell ‘OffSte’ I would like the entire thing to be Red because even though it contains Off, it’s not a valid keyword. I also can’t figure out how to make A-F to be considered numbers after a $ which indicates Hexadecimal which you can also see below
Here is my language file:

I’m not going to go into too much detail trying to figure out implementation, but the EnhanceAnyLexer plugin is your friend here.
For example, if you want the single letters X, Y, Z, I, J, K, F, S, T, M, N, E (not part of a word) to be colored red, you could do something like:0x0000ff = \b[XYZIJKFSTMNE]\bOr to make 2-4 digit hex numbers preceded by a $ sign blue, you’d use
0xff0000 = \$[\da-fA-F]{2,4} -
@James-Richters ,
I’m not sure what the problem is that you’re having as I just created a UDL using your code, a sample file from the one you provided, and it seems to be working fine for me without that multicoloredPowerkeyword. There is one with it and I can’t find in your definition for the UDL where those singular or grouped letters would do that goofy multi color stuff. Here’s a screen shot of what I have after I typed in thePower Offkeyword set:
@Mark-Olson is right though, that any other coloring changes that would need to have a Regex needed such as your need for a if/or condition should be done using the EnhanceAnyLexer plugin.
