Highlight Object-Methods possible ?

Is it possible, that i can modify the AutoIt-Syntax-Highlighter, so the object-methods are shown in a different color ?

The pattern is: $[object].[method][delimiter like space or '(']

Here is comparison to SciTE4:

P.S.: Is it possible, to define more than nine keywords in a theme ?

I tried this in v8.63,

[Keywords]
#Object method=(?<=\.)[a-zA-Z]+

You can probably create a better regex expression.

You should be able to add more keyword colors manually to the settings file (TextEd.ini)...

Not in 'Theme.xml' ?

That should work as well.

I have used '<Keyword9 color="#00000"....' (keyword 0-8 are exists) in my colortheme.xml-file, but the color doesn't work !?
Color is always blue (default) and styles also doesn't work.

Did you remove the theme in the options window first? The editor needs to re-load the .xml file from disk. Once that is done all options are stored in the TextEd.ini file.

No, i didn't. I think restart the editor is enough. I'll test it again tomorrow.

Thanks,
Micha

P.S.: A 'Reload'-function for the colortheme would be nice !

Ok, with V8.63 it looks good! Thanks.

Is there any help about RegEx-character like this:

Code: Select all

(?<=\.)

It's called "positive lookbehind" and you can find some more information at http://www.regular-expressions.info/lookaround.html.

I have tried to improve the recognition of the object-methods.

The 'positive lookbehind'

(?<=\$abc\.)[a-zA-Z]+ --> does work

but

(?<=\$[a-zA-Z0-9]\.)[a-zA-Z]+

or

(?<=\$[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.)[a-zA-Z]+ --> produce an error !


Can someone help ?

Micha

P.S.: Pattern is like '$Abc2.dEf'. It begins with a '$', followed by some letters/numbers and a dot '.'. Then the method begins.

I don't think you can use regex expressions like \$[a-zA-Z0-9]+\. in a lookbehind or lookaround. It will only work with simple expressions like \. or \$

I'm not sure it works but have you tried (?<=\$\w+\.)[a-zA-Z]+

Yes, if tried it. No error, but no proper function (nothing highlighted).

This works, but it's not an elegant solution:

(?<=\$....\.)([a-zA-Z]+)|(?<=\$.....\.)([a-zA-Z]+)|(?<=\$......\.)([a-zA-Z]+) etc.

(?<=\$....\.) matches a 4 letter name starting with $ e.g. $Name

(?<=\$.....\.) matches a 5 letter name ...

You can add as many expressions you want separated by |
