Notepad++ with Abaqus Language Keyword and Highlighting

Notepad++ with Abaqus Language Keyword and Highlighting

(OP)
Has anyone successfully used Notepad++ to highlight and Collapse/Fold Abaqus input files?

RE: Notepad++ with Abaqus Language Keyword and Highlighting

Man! Wouldn't that be nice? I tried once but it took too long. If you ever manage to get the style configured, please post it for the rest of us!

RE: Notepad++ with Abaqus Language Keyword and Highlighting

Marian Meinhard has done us Abaqus/Notepad++ users a huge service! And it works like a charm!

This is what Marian asked me to do:

Visit: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus...

Then, start Notepad++ => "View" => "User Defined Dialogue.."

Next, import the downloaded file (userDefineLang.xml). In the "User Language" drop-down menu, you should now see Abaqus, which you are free to edit.

Notepad++ can be downloaded here

The source code can be found here

I also found this site which talks about the Abaqus lexer that was written. I don’t know if it requires a rebuild with the changed/added files or what

http://scintilla.bzr.sourceforge.net/bzr/scintilla...

Here is the readme file from the source code on how to generate binaries (attached)

I am not a programmer so any programmer out there that wants to take a look at doing this...
