Auto-indentation in a new edit mode
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 9 December, 2004 - 09:53
Hi, I've been writing an edit mode for the ABB RAPID industrial robot programming language. Just one thing outstanding - Auto Indentation

In UltraEdit, the following lines work. I need to do the equivalent in jEdit.
/Indent Strings = "ELSE" "ELSEIF" "THEN" "DO"
/Unindent Strings = "ENDIF" "ELSE" "ENDFOR" "ENDPROC" "ENDMODULE" "ENDWHILE" "ENDFOR" "ENDTEST"

Here are a few examples of how the RAPID code looks. Note there are no brackets used in structuring these statements in this language. Can jEdit handle this or not?

IF nCurrentTable=1 THEN
  pBegin1.trans.z:=nMaxDistT1;
  pEnd1.trans.z:=nMinDistT1;
ELSEIF nCurrentTable=2 THEN
  pBegin1.trans.z:=nMaxDistT2;
  pEnd1.trans.z:=nMinDistT2;
ENDIF

WHILE NOT ConditionsOK DO
  IF (diCtrl_Vacuum1=0 AND boEnable_Ch1=TRUE) RETURN TRUE;
  ConditionsOK:=TRUE;
ENDWHILE

FOR i FROM 1 TO 10 DO
  routine1;
ENDFOR

But the following "compact" (one-line) IF statement should not have the next line indented:
IF di3_LayerOrd=1 Layer;


Thanks for any help!

Thanks.
I tried using "indentNextLines" so that more than just the next line is indented, and that handles indentation ok.

But is there an auto "unindent" like UltraEdit has? e.g. if I type ENDIF it will automatically unindent the current line.

I am also very interested in seeing the aforementioned auto-*un*indent feature available. I do a lot of work in Ruby, which also uses similar syntax

while
....
end

if
...
elsif
...
else
...
end

unless ...
...
end

etc.

Eh! This feature is absent, I think. As far as I know, this possible only by using symbols like "{}" or "[]" etc.

I'm new here, but is this the type of thing that can be added to the wishlist?

I used rapid on a ABB robot as well, and this would be very nice to have.

It's not the robot. It's the knowhow

by bigted on Wed, 19/07/2006 - 20:17
would the original poster be willing to share the work that they have done, so that I won't need to reinvent the wheel?
 
Uploaded to files section

Sorry I haven't checked this forum in ages - have not been working with this equipment for a long time.
Anyway I have uploaded it to the files section, as-is. I can't remember what state it was in exactly but I think at least the basics worked, syntax highlighting, Code Browser support.
Hope you can extend and update it.
