AutoIt Syntax Highlighter

[the DtTvB]

And finally, I made a syntax highlighter for autoit.

It currently supports:

• Strings
• Comments
• # statements (e.g. #include-once)
• Variables
• Macros
• Functions
• Numbers

But not:

• Comment block
• Operators
• Sent keys
• COM Objects

It can be used in web-based AutoIt applications.

How it works?

Step 1: Split the string into lines.

Step 2: Loop through each lines.

Step 2.1: Loop through each characters to find strings, comments, and preprocessors. Highlight and enity it (Will change A to A)

Step 2.2: Close the unclosed tags

Step 2.3: Indent the code, so we can match the text at the beginning of the string.

Step 2.4: Highlight the keywords.

Step 2.5: Highlight the numbers, functions, macros, and variables.

The global variables.

I defined the global variables so I don't have to declare it each time.

It defines how the syntax will look.

It is a bit slow, but it does work!

Uhh.. Any comments?

[CoePSX]

This is really good!

The result looks just like SciTE synatx colors.

I haven't taken a close look at the code yet.

If you think it's kinda slow, you could try using RichEdit instead of HTML.

Works the same way, and since you have the syntax lexer it should be

easy.

Well done.

[the DtTvB]

I mean it's a bit slow, it takes about a second to parse the index.aux of the AutoForum. And it takes 2.5 seconds to parse the Web.au3 file.

[RazerM]

It works really well DtTvB. Good work!

[karman]

Why are you writing ; after each line? It dosnt make you look cool .. seriously ..

Ok what I mean is, why make it look like another programming language? (php?) ..

Maybe he is used to doing it in other languages?

Maybe its his programming style. Does it really matter? lol. Edited October 11, 2006 by CHRIS95219

Very nice, i like this. I would also like the php version of this script that this forum uses when people post autoit code. Anyone know where i could fine such a php script?

Edited October 11, 2006 by The Kandie Man

[the DtTvB]

Umm.. I think it's called GeSHi (General Syntax Highlighter), maybe, here!

And, and I previously code PHP and Javascript, but sometimes I code VB too. That's why my syntax is weird. Even through, my PHP coding style is weird.

[darkshadow791]

I like this but was wondering if there were other ways I could use this, like customizing what is highlighted and saving the file as plain text but still see the highlighting?

I posted a Q about it here>

[ConsultingJoe]

can you make the code into one function that you plug in the code and it returns the highlighted html?
