Built-In Operators? (Lua)

StormFX

Is there somewhere I can look at/add to the built-in operators for a language? To be specific, Lua seems to be missing the “.” operator (and a few others) and it’s annoying to have syntax highlighting fail because of a parent/child reference. I’ve tried creating a custom language so I could “fix” it, but apparently the UDL system doesn’t like comments with similar patterns (-- for single-line comments breaks --[[ for multiline comments). :/

I was able to simulate the appropriate behavior with UDL. I just had to use a delimiter for line comments rather than the line comment section. Silly, but it works.

Hello StormFX,

May be, you could be interested by the Gary Mod 10 Lua syntax highlighter plugin for N++, that you can download, from the link, below :

https://code.google.com/p/npp-gmod-lua/downloads/detail?name=NppGmodLuaPlugin-v1.5.zip

For a manual installation :

Extract the GmodLua.dll library, at top level of this archive, in your N++ plugins folder
Extract the GmodLua.xml file, located in the Config folder of the archive, in your active N++ Config folder

It works nice, with my 6.8.1 N++ installation :-))

Main page can be found at the address :

https://code.google.com/p/npp-gmod-lua/

Just, note that this site is, from now on, archived and read-only and that it moved to GitHub :

https://github.com/kylefleming/npp-gmod-lua

However, you’ll, still, find some information and the release notes, from the two links, below :

https://code.google.com/p/npp-gmod-lua/wiki/HowTos

https://code.google.com/p/npp-gmod-lua/wiki/IntroAndChangeLog

You may modify the foreground and/or background colours of any of the 19 GmodLua defined styles :

From the Style configurator, choosing GmodLua in the Language drop-down list, then any style, proposed in the Style drop-down list
Directly changing values of the fgColor/bgColor items, in the LexerStyles node, at the end of the GmodLua.xml file

Best Regards,

P.S :

I’m wondering : are you the same guy, to whom I replied, in March 2014, on SourceForge forum, and who asked for help, with these funny terms Thx 4 F1 ?
