Re: Trying to create a new language with udl

Hi Eric,

thank you for the help. The code you sent works fine. You mentioned to put the 
udl file into the dir where I execute koext. This was not necessary in my 
case. But I got some other problems. Komodo edit 5.0.2 colors the lines 
correctly but then crashes. V4.2.1 works fine. So I'm doing my work on 4.2.1 
now (I chose this version because you don't need GLIBC_2.4).

Next I tried to switch the code you sent me to SSL family (style names would 
fit better):

########################################################
# UDL for permas

language permas

family SSL
initial IN_SSL_DEFAULT

sublanguage permas

start_style SSL_DEFAULT
end_style SSL_VARIABLE

state IN_SSL_DEFAULT:
'!' : paint(upto, SSL_DEFAULT), => IN_DAT_COMMENT

state IN_DAT_COMMENT:
/[\r\n]/ : paint(upto, SSL_COMMENT), paint(include, SSL_DEFAULT), => 
IN_SSL_DEFAULT

########################################################

The build works but no coloring. Same with CSL. Any Ideas?

For my syntax coloring it is important to match strings ignoring the case. The 
luddite docu says regular expressions are perl like. So I tried:
i/pattern/ : paint...
but this is invalid syntax for luddite. How can I do this?

Thanks again for your help,
Markus
