UDL: Suffix Mode
-
I was wondering if it was possible to have a “suffix mode” as opposed to the prefix mode in the keywords list.
The language I use differentiates between string and numeric variables by ending them with a “$”. It would be nice if I could have a different color based on what variable type I’m using. -
afaik, no, not with the builtin features but we could, if you are willing
to install the python script plugin, create a script which should be able
to do what you are looking for. -
That would be great, actually!
-
would you mind posting a sample program and describing what needs to be done, together with the name of your UDL as is shown in the first
field of the statusbar? Which npp version are you using? (Can be seen via ? menu -> DebugInfo) -
-
Variables are currently in dark green. It would be nice if I could have a different color if a variable ends with a “$”.
-
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.
-
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 -
Always with $. The only time $ would ever be used in this language is to end a string variable.
-
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. -
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”.
-
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
-
So this is what we are looking for, right?
