Hi,

The old user defined FOCUS.xml I have doesn't import into 5.8.7 Confused Looks like the lang.xml format has changed a bit... Anyone have one working with this version?

My colleague just found this thread. May help.

Might Max and Tony A to the rescue!!

Used their link and tips from this thread in version 7.3.3 of NP++ and things are working just fine.

I've been using a bit different version that have modified. (Then modified again when saw didn't have some of the keywords in the link CoolGuy included)

It does however have a bit difference in colors to have some things stand out a bit more. Operators like LE, GT, EQ, AND, OR, etc are a light orange.
Numbers are a deeper red

Also, since I usually start my labels with : it will change the color of anything starting with : or -: as well.

The last thing to note is you can collapse "TABLE FILE", "DEFINE FILE/FUNCTION", and "JOIN LEFT_OUTER/INNER"

The collapse ends by finding the next END in the file.
For JOINs it does require the LEFT_OUTER or INNER on the same line as JOIN because of issues with "JOIN CLEAR"

Can just click Language -> "Define your language..." and then click "Import..." after saving the text in the link below as an .xml file

Powers that be hath banned pastebin as a source of all evil... I guess I got to do it via phone and email, like we did it in 1986 typing code off the magazines and hoping there isn't a typo Razzer

(edit)
OK, now there is something funky stuff going on with my Notepad ++ version, and it doesn't like certain stuff, like importing, that much, but I figured out finally, where and which xml file to edit:

C:\Users\Hank\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\userDefineLang.xml

...and how the syntax works. It is way easier through the GUI (now where have I heard this before I wonder), pasting in the wordlists & so forth than trying to copy paste the xml.

Notepad++ does have a few limitations, for example comments

-* This is a valid comment
-*This is not... there isn't a wildcard available, and if you try get it in as a comment block or a delimited, the missing end delimiter kind of screws it up.

Thanks for the links for all.
