Does anyone know how to customize the scite output color scheme?

[ivan 1]

Hi!

I'm working on a simple script that generates some data I visualize on the Scite console. For ease I prefix output with the "!", "+", "-", ">" such that I can find exceptions at a glance. I have seen that whenever I use @tab to tabulate data the output appears in pink, and occasionally, on some unknown circumstances (to me) the output is brown. I looked at the scite help file to see if I could customize text color directives for the console, but I got lost in the lua docs.

I wrote the following script which displays colored lines for the standard chrs ("!", "+", "-", ">" ) in the hope I will discover an additional one.

Local $lsFormat = "%-10s %-10s "
ConsoleWrite(StringFormat($lsFormat, "CHR", "ASC") & @CRLF)
For $i=32 To 127 Step 1
    ConsoleWrite(StringFormat($lsFormat, Chr($i), $i) & @CRLF)
Next

I'd appreciate it if anyone can shed some light on this mystery.

ivan,

As far as I know these are the only coloured SciTE console lines:

ConsoleWrite('! = Bold Red' & @LF)
ConsoleWrite('> = Blue' & @LF)
ConsoleWrite('- = Orange' & @LF)
ConsoleWrite('+ = Green' & @LF)
ConsoleWrite('(5) : = Red (jump to line 5 when double-clicked)' & @LF)
ConsoleWrite('Start with String or Integer then ' & @TAB & '6' & ' = Pink (jump to line 6 when double-clicked)' & @LF)


ConsoleWrite('(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : = Red (jump to line ' & @ScriptLineNumber & ' when double-clicked)' & @CRLF)

Also see Jos explanation a couple of posts after that.

As Melbe23 mentions but a little bit more info on the specials that also facilitate jumping to a line when double clicked:

ConsoleWrite('! = Red' & @LF)
ConsoleWrite('> = Blue' & @LF)
ConsoleWrite('- = Orange' & @LF)
ConsoleWrite('+ = Green' & @LF)
ConsoleWrite('(5) : = Red (jump to line 5 when double-clicked)' & @LF)
ConsoleWrite('Start with String or Integer then ' & @TAB & @ScriptLineNumber & ' = Pink (jump to line ' & @ScriptLineNumber & ' when double-clicked)' & @LF)

;// SciTE Output logic will look for one of the following formats:
;// GCC: <filename>:<line>:<message>
;// Microsoft: <filename>(<line>) :<message>
;// Common: <filename>(<line>): warning|error|note|remark|catastrophic|fatal

;// Lua 5.1: <exe>: <filename>:<line>:<message>
ConsoleWrite('(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : = Red (jump to line ' & @ScriptLineNumber & ' when double-clicked)' & @CRLF)

So, how did you get brown?

Jos,

I get a "Bold Red" with a leading "!" and the "Jump to" lines come out a very brownish red on my display - I assumed that was what was happening.

As my wife would say: You men are all color-blind .

I see them as red. Must be something on your side.

Edit: If you hold ctrl+ scroll your mouse wheel up (to zoom in) is it still brown?

AdmiralAlkex,

No, it is the same red when you expand the characters. It just looks browner on my display on the thin normal font compared to the fat bold red font given by the !.

Jos,

I have heard that a few times as well!

Thx everyone, I mean it.

Sorry for not getting back, I had to leave for a couple of hours.

Honestly, I don't have the faintest clue, this was ages ago and I could have sworn I got brown, but from your specs, it just looks impossible. I don't smoke pot, so to answer your questions, there's only 2 possibilities:

1.- Long hours of work made me allucinate

2.- I'm as blind as a bat and I badly need some glasses.

Again, thank you all.

@Melba23:

And just when I thought I knew most functionalities of Scite4Autoit:

ConsoleWrite('(5) : = Red (jump to line 5 when double-clicked)' & @LF)

I never used it before, but I'm sure I'll be using it soon.

Thx,

IVAN
