Hi,

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

You better open a case for this one..

Regards

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

Crymsyn,

Very nice. It works great.

Thanks

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

(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.
