        Could you please spare some time to help me out here?

        Thanks to Peter’s link and direction, I have installed the PythonScript plugin and am using your script from the interface…

        I tried modifying the py to fit my requirements following the in-code instructions, but it doesn’t seem to do anything even If I run it manually; For diagnosis if the PythonScript works naturally I tried enabling and disabling the virtual space option and it works…

        Can you please check and let me know which part I’m missing here because the syntax highlighting is not working.

        My UDL is named “BatchNew”

        EnhanceUDLLexer.py

        lexer_name = 'BatchNew'
        regexes[(0, (252, 173, 67))] = ('^:.*$', 19)
        excluded_styles = [1, 2, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23]
        
        

        Test.bat

        @echo off
        TITLE Mirror Mirror On The Wall (or even in the Bathroom, meh)
        
        :FromTheTop
        set /p SourceLocation=Paste Source Location (no Quotes, no ending slash):
        set /p DestinationLocation=Paste Destination Location (no Quotes, no ending slash):
        echo.
        echo Values given Source
        echo %SourceLocation%
        echo.
        echo Value given Destination
        echo %DestinationLocation%
        echo.
        set /p Options=Proceed? (Yes/No)
        if /I %Options%==Yes (goto continuecode)
        if /I %Options%==No (echo. & echo from the begginning & echo. & goto FromTheTop) else (goto FromTheTop)
        
        :continuecode
        echo hi
        echo ha ha ha 
        echo more to come here
        echo not a label:
        pause

          the 19th match group should be used??

          regexes[(0, (252, 173, 67))] = ('^:.*$', 19)

          0 is an unique id
          (252, 173, 67) is the color to be used
          '^:.*$' is the regex
          19 means you want to use the 19th match group but there is none defined at all, I would expect
          to see 0 here.

            I thought, 19 is something to do with Delimiter 4 (since Delimiter8 is 23, guess I mis-understood that)

            I just tried replacing 19 with 0 and it still doesn’t change the highlight; please see below image

              this is what I get and what you want to achieve, right?

                  No, I don’t think so - is the name really BatchNew?
                  It must be exactly the same as listed in the language menu.

                    It’s actually User Defined language file - BatchNew (I tried this too, before checking for just BatchNew)
                    Please see below image

                      OK- then it should be BatchNew, the other stuff gets automatically added.

                      excluded_styles = [1, 2, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23]

                      this means that regex matches do not get colored if one of the
                      styles is set to the positions of the match. Maybe you wanna start with
                      excluded_styles = [] to see if there is something set.

                        If this doesn’t work, can you post or link to the udl so that I can check this
                        on my side as well?

                          Yes, I kept empty brackets for ‘excluded_styles’, still no change

                              Seems to work for me

                              Could it be that you did the changes but haven’t restarted npp?
                              If so, sorry, there is no restart mechanism in the script - maybe I should add one. What I do, normally, is to edit the script, then run another instance of npp to see if the changes are good and if not, close the new instance, reedit, restart a new instance …
                              Not very user friendly but most of the time I only need one or two shots to make it work and see if the changes are good.

                                I actually did restart several times, I suppose I did a faulty installation with the PythonScript… I’ll redo that one more time,

                                  you can check if your PS installation is ok by opening the console from
                                  Plugins->Pythonscript->Show Console
                                  and enter something like notepad.getPluginVersion() in the run box

                                  607d915d-2ef1-4152-a1cf-a245693aba15-image.png

                                  If this works, then installation is ok.

                                    I just did a new installation of the PythonScript (last time, manually through zip, this time through msi)

                                    It’s strange, it does return the version, but it also shows other things for me

                                      that is actually a very old version. Any particular reason
                                      why you need to use it? What is your npp version?
                                      Can be checked from the ? menu->Debug info.

                                        Just haven’t gotten around to using the new version yet… planning for someday because mine is portable and has files mixed up inside…

                                          let’s see if we can make it work.
                                          There are two lines here (saying two shoing four :-D )

                                                      editor1.indicSetStyle(0, INDICATORSTYLE.TEXTFORE)
                                                      editor1.indicSetFlags(0, SC_INDICFLAG_VALUEFORE)
                                                      editor2.indicSetStyle(0, INDICATORSTYLE.TEXTFORE)
                                                      editor2.indicSetFlags(0, SC_INDICFLAG_VALUEFORE)
                                          

                                          replace INDICATORSTYLE.TEXTFORE by the value 17.
                                          Hopefully this is the only missing declaration.
