Editors for BASIC

[YahooArchive]

Hello,

Is there a text editor that supports syntax highlights for SuperPro - Pro+ basic
?

Is this an all in one or a general text editor with a support file for syntax?

Look at notepad++ . It is a free editor that highlights and indents in several
language formats. Use the VB setting. You can add .bas extension as default and
change the comment character to ' fairly easily.
But it does not compile.

Hello James,

I installed notepad++, I selected VB. The problem is that it is not highlighting
goto, or any of the basic syntax. Is there a support file with basic
commands/syntax?

Best Regards,
Nick

Though I don't use notepad++ routinely, a quick try of it worked for me.

Yes I had to add bas to user ext in the style configurator under settings.
Close the file and re-open it.

And add some keywords where ARMbasic accepts VB syntax as well as other BASIC
conventions, an example was endif, endfunction, or endsub. Same place. Maybe
someone might contribute an xml for ARMbasic

But it looks pretty good. I really can't recommend what I use as its obsolete
and getting squirrely on Windows 7, which happens to be the Crimson Editor 3.70.
It's what I'm use too, and until it flat out fails to work, I'll stick with it.
Part of whole philosophy of MakeItC, was to let you work in whatever text editor
you're use to, nothing worse in my mind that trying to use some lame editor
because the IDE insists on it.
