Change color of text after the echo in batch

Alan Kilborn

There’s often more than one way to do things. But EnhanceAnyLexer is arguably the easiest solution to your problem.

If I were you, I’d attack the “npp won’t open” problem.
Without more info from you about that, though, we can’t offer up much help.

@Alan-Kilborn I don’t know more because it doesn’t give me any error

Suggest: Remove the plugin by renaming its DLL file to a new name (any name will suffice). Attempt starting of Notepad++. Does it start?

amymor

@Alan-Kilborn yes

I tried an old version of it (version 0.1.0 first beta) and then it worked

@amymor

OK, well that certainly points to a definite problem. In my experience the plugin works fine. Perhaps the plugin’s author @Ekopalypse who is active here, can assist.

I noticed that the last two versions of it don’t work for me, but the v.0.5.0 beta and previous versions work.
Npp 8.4.2.0 x64

@amymor said in Change color of text after the echo in batch:

Npp 8.4.2.0 x64

Ah, OK, v1.01 of EnhanceAnyLexer also causes N++ 8.4.2 to not start up when I tried it as a test. N++ 8.4.3 and 8.4.4 start up fine with it.

The reason for the problems may be changes with the interface. Obviously N++ and plugins have to cooperate, and if N++ undergoes a change in core logic that make plugins incompatible, plugins have to evolve.

I suppose your options are to continue with the EAL 0.5.0 beta or update your N++ and use the newer EAL, if you want to continue with this.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks for your response, I will update the npp.

I suppose that I have found the cause of the problem
It looks like calling NPPM_GETLANGUAGENAME with a value of -1 can cause npp to crash. I assume this also applies to NPPM_GETLANGUAGEDESC, as I suspect the problem manifests itself when getLangDesc is called.

I add a check in EnhanceAnyLexer to prevent calling it in this case

pub fn(n Npp) get_language_name(buffer_id usize) string {
	lang_type := n.call(nppm_getbufferlangtype, buffer_id, isize(0))
	if lang_type == -1 {
		return 'UNKNOWN_ERROR'
	}
	mut buffer_size := int(n.call(nppm_getlanguagename, usize(lang_type), isize(0))) + 1
	mut buffer := alloc_wide(buffer_size)

	n.call(nppm_getlanguagename, usize(lang_type), isize(buffer))
	lang_name := unsafe { string_from_wide(buffer) }
	return lang_name.to_lower().replace('udf - ', '')
}
