functionList.xml - more different 'function' definitions?
-
Hello!
I try to setup for a macrofile the function list.
It works so far, for one type of ‘function’
I want to see also some absolut different ‘functions’my macrofile looks like
BEGINSUB Name=ShowForm $DokufolderForm = EditForm($DokufolderForm,"folder_path","values",$folder_path) endsub <Data> VarName=$DokufolderForm Name = make_FolderForm Type = Form Caption = Sicher Note als TXT von allen Caches im Filter Height = 406 Width = 500 Name = btn_makeOne Type = Button Height = 25 Left = 32 Top = 104 Width = 121 Caption = make oneI managed to get the ‘BEGINSUB Name=ShowForm’ section
But I also want to get the name of forms
Name = make_FolderForm Type = Formand buttons.
Name = btn_makeOne Type = ButtonIs this possible?
my (part of) functionList.xml so far which is OK for ‘beginsub’:
<function mainExpr="(?x) # free-spacing (see `RegEx - Pattern Modifiers`) (?ms) # - ^, $ and dot match at line-breaks ^\h* # optional leading white-space at start-of-line (?:beginsub) # function type specifier \s+ (?:name) \K # discard text matched so far .*? # whatever, until... (\n) # ...end-of-function-header indicator " >Thank you!

Try this one:
<function mainExpr="(?x) # free-spacing (see `RegEx - Pattern Modifiers`) (?ms) # - ^, $ and dot match at line-breaks ^\h* # optional leading white-space at start-of-line (?:beginsub\s+)? name\s*=\s* \K # discard text matched so far \w+ " /> -
Thank you for the answer!
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t get your part of the code running.This snippet works for the subroutine
<function mainExpr="(?x) # free-spacing (see `RegEx - Pattern Modifiers`) (?ms) # - ^, $ and dot match at line-breaks ^\h* # optional leading white-space at start-of-line (?:beginsub) # function type specifier \s+ (?:name) \K # discard text matched so far .*? # whatever, until... (\n) # ...end-of-function-header indicator " > <functionName> <nameExpr expr="[\w.^+-]+" /> </functionName> </function>and this snippet works for the button part
<function mainExpr="(?x) # free-spacing (see `RegEx - Pattern Modifiers`) (?ms) # - ^, $ and dot match at line-breaks ^\h* # optional leading white-space at start-of-line (?:name) # function type specifier \s+ (?:=) \K # discard text matched so far .*? # whatever, until... (\n) # ...end-of-function-header indicator " > <functionName> <nameExpr expr="[\w.^+-]+" /> </functionName> </function>but both together do not work at the same time
how can I join both parts at the same time in one functionList.xml to give me both sub + button?
I’m sorry, my work on regexpression is not more then try and error
(maybe I will never understand this fancy stuff ;)
but in this case, I do not know exactly how the functionList.xml works.I hope you can help me one more.
Thank you,

I’m sorry, but I couldn’t get your part of the code running.
Didn’t my function part of the parser show anything in the FL tree?
-
No, I’m sorry.
The functiontree stays empty. -
Works for me:

Hello MAPJe71!!!
I’m so sorry.
I do not know what happened, but at first your code did not work, although I tried it more times and started the programm always new.But now I had to start my computer new and then it really worked!!!
So thank you, thank you, thank you.
Now it is really what I needed!
I’m always surpriesed how anybody really can understand the crypto writing of regex behind ‘normal’ usage!
Thank you, solong, Andi -
Hello, gehe-online,
The crypto writing of regexes, as you say, are not that difficult. Just an other language, as thousand other ones !
Regarding the regex, in your functionList.xml file, below :
mainExpr=" (?x) # free-spacing (see `RegEx - Pattern Modifiers`) (?ms) # - ^, $ and dot match at line-breaks ^\h* # optional leading white-space at start-of-line (?:beginsub\s+)? name\s*=\s* \K # discard text matched so far [\w.^+-]+ "Here are some non exhaustive explanations, on this regex :
-
First, the
(?x)modifier tell the regex engine that the free-spacing mode is ON So, any non-escaped space character, as well as comments, beginning with the#symbol, will be ignored -
Then, the
(?ms)modifiers, which could be rewritten(?m)(?s), means that :-
The
^and$assertions represent, respectively, any start and end of line ((?m)) -
The dot
.special character matches any single character, even an End of line one, like\rand\n((?s))
-
-
Now, the part
^\h*represents any sequence, even empty, of horizontal blank characters, at start of line ( note that*is a shortcut for the{0,}quantifier, meaning present 0 or any time ) -
Afterwards, the
(?:beginsub\s+)?searches for the beginsub key-word, in any case, followed by, at least, one blank character, as the+quantifer is a shortcut of the{1,}one. -
As that range is enclosed in a non-capturing group
(?.....), followed with the?quantifier ( which is a shortcut of{0,1}) this implies that the part beginsub\s+ may be present or not -
Then, the
name\s*=\s*part tries to catch the name key-word, followed by optional blanks chars, then the=sign, and followed, again, with optional blanks chars -
Now, The
\Ksyntax, tell the regex engine to forget anything matched, so far ! Note that the previous match was mandatory to get an overall match but, now, the regex engine just has to consider the remaining of the regex -
Thus, the final part, to match, is the regex
[\w.^+-]+which represents a character class feature, that is to say, a single character, enclosed in the[....]structure, which must be present, at least, one time ( remember,+=={1,}quantifier ) -
To end with, any single character, which composes the name, of each key-word NAME, can be, either :
-
A word character (
\w), that is to say, a classical letter, an accentuated letter, a digit or the_symbol -
A circumflex accent (
^) -
A dot punctuation sign (
.) -
A plus mathematical sign (
+) -
A minus mathematical sign (
-)

gehe online, I hope that, now, you can figure out the general template of a regular expression !

P.S. :
For noob people, about regular expressions concept and syntax, begin with that article, in N++ Wiki :
http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Regular_Expressions
In addition, you’ll find good documentation, about the Boost C++ Regex library, v1.55.0 ( similar to the PERL Regular Common Expressions, v5.8 ), used by
Notepad++, since its6.0version, at the TWO addresses below :http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/perl_syntax.html
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/format/boost_format_syntax.html
-
The FIRST link explains the syntax, of regular expressions, in the SEARCH part
-
The SECOND link explains the syntax, of regular expressions, in the REPLACEMENT part
You may, also, look for valuable information, on the sites, below :
http://www.regular-expressions.info
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html
Be aware that, as any documentation, it may contain some errors ! Anyway, if you detected one, that’s good news : you’re improving ;-))
