That problem is not related to my lexer, I can perfectly create a var and append text to it and it wont affect the highlighting...

%var%(will highlight)
\text.txt (wont take off the highlighting)
so i can see this perfectly fine: %var%\text.txt

--edit
to make sure you ware indeed using my lexer and having troubles try this code:

; test
;{
; this should allow you to fold
;}

if that doesnt add the fold on the left side then you are not really using my lexer

sorry, I was unclear. I think it's not necessarily to do with your lexer, but more that it could have been to do with having to switch "languages" through the np++ menu, because it was using the old api to show them at first.

couldn't get it to work with NPP 5.8 Unicode ... I get an error message:


---------------------------
Exception
---------------------------
Unknown exception
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

[Maestr0]

are you sure that that is my lexer that causes that error?
if it is thank you for pointing out, since i compiled the lexer with an older version of N++.

yes, I doublechecked, it goes away after removing your files.
Not sure exactly which of your files are causing the problem, though.

[Maestr0]

if it is thank you for pointing out, since i compiled the lexer with an older version of N++.

I am using N++ 5.7 at the moment, you might want to try that one in the mean time while I see if i can update the lexer tonight or tomorrow.

any luck?

[Uberi]

I am having the same issue. The lexer simply does not work under N++ 5.8.

Thanks for the tip, JP! I've restored that file using Dropbox, and I now have the SH and folding back. However, it would be nice if there was a version compatible with the new SciLexer.dll.

[RaptorX]

I am trying to compile with the new version but the problem is that they seem to have removed few files, and renamed others that were being used as #includes on my lexer, I have to contact the N++ developers to get an idea of how can i compile with the new version.

I am not sure how much is going to take but I am working on it. Will link to the forum post i made on N++ so you can check on the progress.

As soon as i am able to compile I will post back here

With 5.8.1 NPP will no longer crash, however, I have not been able to get the syntaxing to work either.

I will need help on this one because it seems to be that the new scintilla (which is used for the lexer) has changed a bunch... that means that the lexer needs to be rewritten which I am not able to since I am not a C/C++ programmer.

one quick solution i will try (though not the correct one) is to replace the SciLexer.dll file located on the n++ directory (which is the one causing problems) with the old version of it, that way you guys can use N++ 5.8 with my lexer until I really fix the problem which Im afraid will take longer than i expected

--Edit
Tested it and it worked on 5.8, the problem is the new Scilexer.dll

Workaround: Get this file and replace the existing one inside the N++ 5.8 folder.
If you dont want to use this file just go to notepad++ and download the 5.7 version and get the SciLexer.dll file and replace the 5.8 version with it.

Until I rewrite the lexer this is the only work around i know.

--Edit 2
There are no noticeable drawbacks, if you find one (like another lexer not working because of the swap) please notify so i can update the post.

[OpalMonkey]

Thanks for the workaround. I was horror-stricken when I opened up a script yesterday and there was nothing but plain text!

It would be nice if a C/C++ programmer took an interest in this lexer. I'm actually surprised no one with that skill set has, considering the popularity of both Notepad++ and AHK.

Anyways, thanks again for the workaround. And, of course, the wonderful lexer RaptorX! Maybe it'll come back updated and better than ever?

[semi225599]

Since, this is going to be rewritten, could you add syntax highlighting for AutoHotkey_L? (#If, Until, etc)
I'm sure you saw the announcement that Chris is moving on, and since AutoHotkey_L is going to be the maintained version now, it seems like the syntax highlighting should support all of the new commands/directives.
