UDL: Suffix Mode

Michael Miller31

That would be great, actually!

Eko palypse

would you mind posting a sample program and describing what needs to be done, together with the name of your UDL as is shown in the first
field of the statusbar? Which npp version are you using? (Can be seen via ? menu -> DebugInfo)

Variables are currently in dark green. It would be nice if I could have a different color if a variable ends with a “$”.

Ok, you are using npp 7.5.9 which means you should be able to use
Plugin Manger to install PythonScript plugin.
(Just keep in mind that if you upgrade to a newer (but still betas) version
there are a lot of changes in the plugin area!!)

Could you just copy and paste the example - makes it easier for me to use it for testing :-D

Eko has offered to create something for you (I think). It would be nice if you could give him some actual text – not just a screenshot – to start working with.

Michael Miller31

My apologies. I thought you were looking for something visual. Thanks again!

for index=1 to udim(ButtonNumbers)
	if Fkey==ButtonNumbers(index) then 
		let FnHasBeenPressed=1
		let OrderNumber$=OrderNumbers$(FirstOrderOfPage-61+index)
		if udim(Keys$) then
			let UniqueKey$=Keys$(FirstOrderOfPage-61+index)
		end if 
	end if
next index

Is it always a word which ends with $ or might it be that
non-word characters like minus underscore etc… are part of
the variable as well.
Basically I’m asking if a regex like \w+?\$ would do the job
or if it is needed to have something like \b.+?\$\b

@Eko-palypse said:

or maybe a better approach - what allows the language how a variable
can be defined

Michael Miller31

Always with $. The only time $ would ever be used in this language is to end a string variable.

Eko palypse

No, there is a misunderstanding, if I use \w+?\$
then a variable like UniqueKey$ will be colored but a variable like
Unique-Key$ won’t be.
If I know what the language allows, which chars can be used for a
variable name, then we can find the right regex to make this work.

Michael Miller31

String functions can also end with a $ but those I have listed as a keyword in my UDL with prefix mode enabled. Since every function begins with “fn”.

Eko palypse

Good to know - do you have a reference to the language you are using?

I can also give you the section from my userDefineLang.xml if it’s helpful

Eko palypse

So this is what we are looking for, right?

Do the following

copy the script
goto Plugins->Python Script->New Script
give it a meaningful name and press save button
paste the script into the newly ceated document
save it
open one of your BR! Source files
click on Plugins->Python Script->Scripts->NAME_OF_THE_NEWLY_CREATED_PYTHONSCRIPT

If you want to know the details, let me know.

Eko palypse

btw, when it works like you want and want it to be available automatically
on every npp startup we need to create a USER startup.py but
I guess this can be discussed it the script is useful to you at all
