Hey,

that's a great idea with the command-lists in the extra directory.

Tekl

Wow! Lots of good stuff here in this release.

Thanks Chris!

Hi,

I don't know if some Editors may have problems with commandnames.txt. There are some commands with Parameters and I think most editor accept only one word:

If Var [not] in value1,value2,...

should be:

If
Else

Also I think, the directives could be in a separate file.

Tekl

Rajat had some reasons for doing it that way. If he sees this, I'll let him explain it.

You could check if the first character is # to detect whether it's a directive. That seems better than having to maintain a separate file.

Thanks.

Hi,

but if you have files, it's easier to create the colorgroups. So it could be done with only one array-loop. But it's no problem to use your way. Maybe all Syntax-files should be replaced with a script.

Tekl

while doing the master files, my topmost consideration was to take care of all current and possibly future needs.

now, the 'if' cmd can be (as u see urself) used in many different ways... so if we just put an 'if' for every corresponding if-based cmd in commands.txt then it'd not be clear which does what in clip-library like uses.

And if the use requires essentially just one word cmd then its easy to do [StringGetPos + StringLeft] but on the other hand, its kind of difficult to get the different full cmds from just 'if'.

i hope its clear now.

That's an interesting idea. It would be nice some day to have a single GUI front-end that auto-detects the editors you have installed, sets the corresponding checkboxes for you (only by default -- you could uncheck them if you want), has some other checkboxes/radios/etc. to indicate your preferred background and syntax colors, and then reconfigures all the selected editors to support AutoHotkey syntax.

Hi Rajat,

I'm speaking about commandnames.txt. I thougt it should be used to build syntax-highlighting. All my Editors only want one single word for a command. For cliplibraries you're right, there should be all if-commands listed.

Hi Chris,

so someone should make a base-script with gui, where subroutines for every editor could be added or included, like plugins. For every editor there must be a detection-subroutine, so the gui displays only installed editors and a installation-routine for installing the syntax. The subroutines should set some global variables (if install successfull etc.) for the gui.

Tekl

Perhaps you could omit all lines containing spaces as you process the file? Something like:

IfInString, A_LoopReadLine, %A_Space%, Continue

Yes, that sounds good. It would probably be a lot of work to research all the different editors, their registry entries, and the differences among their version numbers (if any). But hopefully someday.

@ Tekl
I've extracted AHK's commands by parsing the Command reference which is provided in the forum. I've done that to keep the original command (first colum of that table) but split its description (2nd column) to translate that to German.

I guess a plain list (a word per line) could be the source to be converted in whatever format.

Eh, but maybe I've lost you ... ?

That sounds fine. If there's ever anything you can't find a way to do and you think there needs to be a change, please pass it on.

guyz don't consider the master files as the final things... they're just building blocks... u can create whatever with them... leave something out if ur particular use finds it redundant... they're supposed to take care of most possible situations... if something isn't possible using these files then that calls for a change, not if something is extra in them!

Chris, is it possible to add duplicate-removal support to sort cmd? ...with StringCaseSense affecting its behaviour too... this'll also help in generating scripts from master files, besides having other uses.
