ULP syntax highlighting

cosborne2000
cosborne2000 over 13 years ago

I'm just starting to learn how to create ULP's.

Is there an editor available that has syntax highlighting for the cadsoft script language? 

Also, is there a way for Eagle to check for syntax errors over the full script?  (not just when it encounters them during script execution).

 

I've been spoiled by all the intelli-sense IDE's.

    Yes! Notepad++

    plus this XML file for ULP

    http://www.cadsoftusa.com/downloads/file/notepad++_userdefinedlanguage_ulp.zip

    The location and name of the file changed:

     

    EAGLE Community - PCB Tools und Konvertierer - Download & Upload

     

    http://www.cadsoft.de/downloads/file/notepad_userdefinedlang.zip

     

    It is a more recent version of the file.

    In Notepad++ v6.7.7 use the menu entry Language->Define Your Language ... ; Import. Select "Notepad++ UserDefineLang for Cadsoft ULP v0.2.xml" from the extracted zip.

    After restarting Notepad++ you'll see a new entry "Eagle ULP" close to the buttom of the Language menu.

    Try

    ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/userfiles/misc//notepad++_userdefinedlanguage_ulp.zip

     

    It has a last modified date in 2010 so I suspect there may be a later

    one around elsewhere. These days I don't bother with it and simply use

    the 'C' one that comes with Notepad++

    Ignore the one above. Its to old and missing new commands

    Attached are a couple from my PC. Try both as I cannot decide which one

    I am using.

    Hi

     

    You won't receive attachments from the forum if you use Element 14 to

    contact the Cadsoft forum. If you want a better web interface to the

    newsgroup use EagleCentral.

     

    Get the attached newer syntax highlight xml from my post which is

    replicated correctly on EagleCentral

    Ahh okay, now i have it. While waiting for the eMail to finish registration at eaglecentral, i will answer here:

     

    Both Files (Notepad++ UserDefineLang for Cadsoft ULP v0.2.xml and userDefineLang.xml) have the same definitions. the only difference is, that userDefineLang.xml includes all definition field (also which are empty) whereas the ulp v0.2 File contains only the used fields. So it doesn't matter which file to use.

     

    Thank you for your help, i guess others may find this useful, too (if they can find it with a web search).

    Best regards

    MS
