Function list

Christian Wistberg

Sorry if this has been asked before but I need help with getting function list working for LUA.

I got hold of a function parser for LUA and added it to functionList.xml in %appdata%\Roaming\Notepad++\

But however I do, I don’t get any functions to get recognized. Please help!

I have this bit at the top:
<association langid=“23” id=“lua_function”/>

and further down under parsers section:

<parser id="lua_function" displayName="Lua" commentExpr="--[^\n]*">
            <function
                mainExpr="(function[ \t]+[\w\:\.]+[ \t]*\(|[\w\:\.]+[ \t]*=[ \t]*function)"
                displayMode="$functionName">
                <functionName>
                    <nameExpr expr="(function[ \t]+\K[\w\:\.]+|[\w\:\.]+)"/>
                </functionName>
            </function>
        </parser>

I beleive it has to do with this line:

<association langid=“23” id=“lua_function”/>

Two things, first the quotations are not regular " characters. This may have just been due to the fact it was copy/pasted on the forum. But the main reason is you need langID instead of langid.

Oh my god thank you so much! I tore my hair for a couple of hours!

I’m bald now but at least I have a working function list in Lua :)

Thanks again!
