Problem with writing a Mode
Submitted by zorglub76 on Monday, 3 August, 2009 - 13:40
hi all,

i have a problem creating a mode.
i'd like to have some highlighting on the log and i've created this:

http://www.pastie.org/569660

but whenever i put anything like a regex special character (e.g. "\d") in the "end" tag, it selects everything until the end of the page.
for instance, "line " or "line 1" works ok, but "line ." is screwed

any ideas?

You can't note a regular expression at the END tag, it's only valid for the BEGIN tag.

Wildcards?
by zorglub76 on Tue, 04/08/2009 - 08:03
And is there a way to use wildcards or something in the "end" tag?
I mean something like "something *" (meaning "find the word 'something' and match till the end of that line")
 
Nope

Also, how can I match the first of the two literals?

For example, i have this:

ok 818 - type ("input_122684", "survey_title_LENNPxidhq51562@a]_a")

and I want the first literal (input_122684) to be different color than the other (survey_title_LENNPxidhq51562@a]_a)
 
csv mode

The current development version (jEdit 4.3pre17) is shipped with a csv mode witch highlights the values of a csv file alternating in two colors.

Have a look at this mode definition file. I can't understand it Eye-wink

Uhhhh....

Well, someone probably understands this file.. Smiling
Never mind. I'm not desperate to have the literals colored differently.

Anyway, they should have definitively chosen a scripting language for Mode files instead of XML.

Thanks!
