UltraEdit syntax highlighting

Does anyone have a NSIS scripts syntax highlighting word file for UltraEdit? It would save me some work in creating one. If I created one would anyone have interest in it?

Hi Mike,

I don't have a wordfile for UltraEdit but perhaps you could base your work on kichik's wordfile for EditPlus located at this thread.

UltraEdit wordfile for NSIS

Well, I decided to create one as I use UltraEdit a lot. In case anyone wants it, here it is.

I did create one once, but it was long ago, on an old version and thus out of date. Ultraedit rocks.

I always use cEdit

I always use a program called cEdit to work on NSIS scripts. It comes with syntax highlighting for nsis scripting and even installs a custom version of the nsis compiler on your computer and can compile directly within the app. http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/cedit

if anyone is interested.

Mike007: You are awesome! This makes life so much easier (I was to lazy to do it myself.. Now to add Function highlighting and some of the more advanced stuff 😁 Anyway Thanx, this is hella cool! (Side Note: There was one typo I found, but I can't remember it of the top of my head.. If I remember I'll let ya know.)

UltraEdit

Ackbar, you can compile nsi scripts from within UltraEdit as well (using the advanced tools config, not very hard to do). It can also capture the output so you can view it in UltraEdit.

Tresni, thanks, if you find any errors please let me know. What do you mean by "function highlighting"? If you show the function list, the functions and sections will show up there, double click on one and it takes you to that section of code.

killahbite, TextPad sucks, get UltraEdit.

I know 🙂

Mike I know that about ultraedit. Biggest advantage to cEdit is it's free 🙂 Oh it also catches the output.
