Function list for vbs (visual basic script)

Jiří Basler

Please, did anyone write a function list for the visual basic script? The old functionList.xml no longer works in the 8.7 of N ++ ;-().

There seems to be a function list parser for VBS HERE.
It may need some work to get it fully going, as it is 5 years old as of this writing.

@Alan-Kilborn NO, no…
I’m apologize, please send me your functionList.xml and other files, which I need

You’re speaking in brevity and riddles, neither one of which help to get your problem solved.

Let’s start from the top:

The old functionList.xml no longer works in the 8.7 of N ++

Ok, well to be sure of what you’re talking about, which version of N++ were you using where it did work?

You might be talking about the “changeover” with how N++ handles function list, which happened some time ago. I looked in the user manual to see when that changeover took place, but it doesn’t mention it, so I think it was quite a while ago.

EDIT: It was quite a while ago (4 years), in version 7.9.1. See “helpful” link below.

please send me your functionList.xml and other files, which I need

I don’t really know what to do with that statement. I don’t have what you need as I don’t use or care about VBS.

If the trouble really is the “changeover”, i.e., you have the old style function list stuff, and you need the new style stuff, then you have to read the user manual on how to convert from the old to the new, and then actually do it.

EDIT: There may be some helpful information for you HERE about converting.

@Jiří-Basler ,

We told you exactly what you needed to know four years ago, here. Have you truly not figured out how to get it working during those four years? If so, why didn’t you ask more questions four years ago?

NO, no… please send me your functionList.xml

functionList.xml is not used any more. For Visual Basic, you will need ....\functionList\vb.xml .

So the steps you need to take:

Grab the contents of your post from 4 years ago, here
Paste it into a file, and save that file as c:\program files\notepad++\functionList\vb.xml
double-check to make sure that c:\program files\notepad++\functionList\overrideMap.xml doesn’t change the filename, and it should have a line like
```
    <association id= "vb.xml"			 langID= "18"/>
```
Exit notepad++ completely
Run notepad++ and open a .vb file
If you show the FunctionList panel, it will show the functions for VB files.

Sometimes we waste a lot of time trying to help people here that just “don’t get it”. :-(
