Re: WinMerge as integrated tool

I have switched to using KDiff3 because WinMerge is no longer in active support or development.

textbox control?

I need to have a textbox control on a form, but I don't see any way to do this. I can do the form and put "Process" and "Cancel" buttons on it, but I need to specify a start and a stop numeric value. I'm trying to make a script that inserts numbers on a line, starting on the line...

Re: The state of the Macro system

The script version that replaces the characters with HTML entities
changes all of the alpha characters, too.

So something weird is going on with the replace command.

It might have something to do with the character encoding of the document?

Any ideas?

Anyone?

Re: The state of the Macro system

I semi-randomly discovered the problem. It's this line: for (var ii = 0; ii < asChars.length; ii++) { Apparently it is impossible, or not allowed, to use the .length property of a string array variable. Afaik, that is standard JS. I also tried to remove the hard-coded [200] dimensioning of the array...

Re: The state of the Macro system

I guess the system more or less kind of works. But it is WAY too finicky. And the error reporting is abominable. I'm trying to modify a JS script that someone showed me in another post and it's HELL to work on. Right now all it's saying is "Not enough actual parameters". No line number of ...

The state of the Macro system

It looks like the state of the Macro system is questionable, full of bugs,
and things that do not work, and more or less unusable.

Is that true?

Re: Merry Christmas

I missed this. Belated Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. I don't know a lot about art, but I know what I like, and I really like that postcard image. I've always like "simple", colorful, folksy art like that. I'm a sucker for Thomas Kinkade, and his Painter of Light work, too. I was just tryi...

XUL

I haven't seen or found a XUL language file. HTML kind of works, but not really. XUL is kind of more complex than HTML in some ways. So the HTML highlighting gets tweaked up. Anyone know anything, heard anything, though about it, etc.? I am doing XUL in Firefox extension work. So it's a little speci...

Re: JSON Syntax Highlighting?

Thanks. That's a nice tool. But I like to use the editor to do JSON stuff. I was going to make a highlighter and I didn't. It would be pretty easy, though. Although you could probably just use JavaScript highlighting in a pinch, as better than nothing. Here is an online highlighter and formatter: ht...

JSON Syntax Highlighting?

I was looking for a JSON syntax file and couldn't find one.

Is that even possible?

I'm not real familiar with JSON.

There might not be any "keywords".
It might all be quoted text and punctuation highlighting.
Which might be better than nothing.

Re: Script to convert characters

Thanks.

Is there any easy way to tell if a macro is C++ format versus JS?
Or any of the others. (some are more obvious)

Script to convert characters

What would be the best or easiest way to make a script (or whatever) to convert "fancy characters" to non-fancy characters? And have it be easily executable, by either a menu action or key sequence. And ideally it should either do it globally or to a selection if there is one. That is, fan...

Single-Digit numbers not colored

For some reason, single-digit numbers are not colored, but more than one digit numbers are. Is this normal? It's doing it in PHP, JavaScript, and my QB64 files, so it's not "my fault." ;o) I think it's actually been doing this for awhile, now that I think about it. This might be an actual ...

Re: Find QB function or sub based on cursor location

I'm thinking I want to assign these functions to a 'command prefix key', probably F11. So you would press F11, and then another key to execute the appropriate function, like: UpArrow = Find Previous Sub/Function DownArrow = Find Next Sub/Function F11 = Execute Previous Find (so you can F11-Up, F11-F...
