I successfully download the giant software and created my first program but I faced difficulty in typing some symbols like '<<< ENTER>>>' . Giant doesn't take <<< symbol as entered from keyboard. For this I have to copy ⋘ symbol from sample program. So in future we have to copy these symbols or is there any easy way to do that
You can use 'Ctrl' + '<' in your keyboard and you will get '<<<>>>'.
Hope it will help

My language is lua.
Many functions in the file table.lua is named as "Table_XXX",like pictue1.In table.lua's symbol window,all they are marked as the same symbol----"Table",like picture 1.while function call in other files(enven in the same file),Source Insight can not recognizes the function and jump to its definition.
so,what should I do to solve this problem?
thanks a lot.
Unfortunately you can't expect any help from SI folks so it will have to be a DIY thing.
Open Lua.xclf (it's XML, you can even drag&drop it into SI itself).
Notice:
<Expression
SymbolType="Function"
Pattern="function\w+\([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*\)"
RegexType="Source Insight"
/>
and that regex function\w+\([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*\) doesn't have [ _ ] char. If you are already playing, do yourself a favor and switch type to "Perl Compatible" to have much better control.
You can also edit that in Options / Preferences / Languages double click the language and Custom Parsing.
Also notice that in Keywords [function] is declared as "control" and you'd probably want "Declare Function" or "Declare Method".
You'll have to scrutinize it in great detail (wither in XML or UI) and you'll probably find many other problems. If you reach a good state you'll have to publish it on your own (say on https://pastebin.com/) and then publish the link here.
In theory you could write to their support to ask them do they want a better file but don't expect much. SI ended up being so neglected that you could start crying if you remember it's golden days (whole Windows shipped with SI - several times). That's why people gave up. So, now it's DIY - find some highlighter files from other editors and copy regexs is you can.
Maybe IBM could buy them - right after they pay for Red Hat :-)
Company i work develops a new programming language which will ease job of engineer. My job is to supply this language with a nice editor which is also involves code folding. I need to have custom code folding which is not include "{" and "}". I am working with Geany filetypes. I add new filetype. I want to fold some structure like below.
if %condition% then for each %element% in %range% do
%statement% %statement%
else if %condition% then end for
%statement%
else
end if
I know my language far from c type , however add such line to my code for enabling syntax coloring.
[settings]
lexer_filetype=C
Any kind of help will be appreciated.
I dont know exact answer but i know how i can dig it up. As far there is no an answer i am going to write how can the answer can be appeared. Using scintilla and its lexers can take us to solution of this problem. Both Geany and Scintilla documentations mention about support of that feature.
Under Debian :
cp /usr/share/geany/filetypes.c ~/.config/geany/filedefs/
chown myUser:myGroup ~/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.c
Edit the file. Under the section [lexer_properties] add the line:
fold.cpp.comment.explicit=1
Save the file.
Open geany. You are now able to put userfoldings using the default //{ and //} delimiters in c and in cpp. These do not influence your code because to c and cpp it are comments.
I am new to SQLWindows IDE and I need to edit a number of SQLWindows applications. I am using Version 3.0.0 of the IDE. I am facing trouble finding the line number of a particular line of code. Is there any setting or way to know the line number of the code? Generally IDEs provide the line number, but I am not able to see any line number details in the [Outline] mode. Kindly help!
SQLWindows doesn't use line numbers at all.
If you want to change similar code lines in several files, I suggest getting acquainted with the CDK, which lets you write applications that alter .app/apt/apl files. Unfortunately wasn't able to find a "Starter Guide" on Google.
Im guessing you have corruption in a apl file ? If so save the file as 'text' , ( never save as Binary i.e. 'Compiled' or 'App' always save using the 'Text' option ) then re-open it. 9 out of 10 any line number errors fix automatically this way . Once you have saved as Text , you can open it and edit it ( carefully ) in Notepad++ .
Its very unusual to need to know a line number....why would you possibly want to know it ? If you explain more , there may be a better workaround ( there always is )
I need help importing a library to Xamarin. I included the library and inserted it into a new folder named BarcodeScanner, and the name of the library is libBarcodeScanner.a.
gcc_flags "-L${ProjectDir} -lBarcodeScanner -force_load ${ProjectDir}/libBarcodeScanner.a”
But it shows an error:
Error: Could not parse additional mtouch arguments: No matching quote found.
What should i do ?
Do i need to create a binding project to use a library like BarcodeScanner ?
Error: Could not parse additional mtouch arguments: No matching quote found.
That does not look like a Xamarin.iOS (mtouch) error message. Those start with a MT prefix followed by 4 numbers, e.g. MT2001. Could it be Xamarin Studio giving you this error ?
What should i do ?
Review the flags: are they identical to what's pasted above ?
No matching quote found. makes is sound there's an extra quote in there. Maybe one of the " is wrong (e.g. a autocorrection giving you a smart quote) ?
Or maybe your project directory (replaced from ${ProjectDir} contains a quote character ?
Also can you edit your question to add which version of Xamarin Studio you're using ?
Do i need to create a binding project to use a library like BarcodeScanner ?
No, but it's the preferred ways to link static libraries. Using a binding project removed the need to add Additional mtouch arguments inside every projects and every build configuration (e.g. Debug, Release...) of your applications.
I will answer my own question, maybe it will help someone. I declared in my MainController that i needed:
using MonoTouch.CoreVideo;
using MonoTouch.CoreMedia;
using MonoTouch.CoreGraphics;
using MonoTouch.CoreFoundation;
And after that i referenced only the static library with:
-gcc_flags "-L${ProjectDir} -lBarcodeScanner -force_load ${ProjectDir}/libBarcodeScanner.a"
#poupou's "maybe" was spot on, but I'll be pedantic and explain exactly.
Look closely at this line I just quoted from your original question. I've marked it down using code (four spaces prefix per line), and broke it into two lines. Nothing else has been changed. Hopefully the error should be obvious now:
- gcc_flags "-L${ProjectDir} -lBarcodeScanner
-force_load ${ProjectDir}/libBarcodeScanner.a”
Essentially, you used different types of double quotes. The first double-quote character above is Unicode 0x0022, which is the regular Quotation Mark. The second double-quote character above is Unicode 0x8221, or Right Double Quotation Mark. It might be that you had copied & pasted all or part of the line above from a web page, rather than typing it in.
For command-line processing, mixing your styles of double quotes simply won't work. You'll need to use balanced regular quotation marks, as you wrote in your own answer just now (but might not have specifically noticed?) FWIW, the right- and left- variants of the quotation mark are usually used for word processing, web pages, etc. where the style aesthetic matters.
Since you didn't use code-markup when quoting that line originally (while I noticed you did, in your recently posted answer) it looks like Stack Overflow "helpfully" tried to render the quotes as similar in style, fooling us into looking elsewhere for the problem, when it was right in front of us.
Anyway, next time you get an error about mismatched quotes, I suggest you carefully check their type. If they look the least bit different, they may not be the right kind of quotes.
i'm searching for a pretty print program (script, code, whatever) for Informix-4GL sources.
Do you know any ? Than you, Peter.
Have you looked at the IIUG (International Informix User Group) software archive? There are two pretty printers there (of indeterminate quality).
The other place to look would be the Aubit4GL site - an open source variant of I4GL. Again, I'm not sure that they have a pretty-printer, but it might be something they have (though a casual check doesn't show one).
I don't know if anyone is reading this post anymore, but the easiest way to get some kind of nice "pretty print" of 4gl code is to view it in the Openedge Developer Studio, then use ctrl-I to set indention. You can adjust indention in the editor settings by saying the length of "tabs". (default is 4, I use 3)
Then do a ctrl-shift-f to make all command words uppercase.
Next, you can condense the code a few lines by moving all the "DO:" statements up a line next to the "THEN" statement with this regular expression search and replace.
ctrl-f:
search "\s*\n\s*DO[:]"
replace " DO:"
make sure you click the checkbox marked regular expressions.
At this point the code is nice and tidy.
Do a ctrl-a and ctrl-c to copy it to the clipboard.
paste it in Outlook as an email without sending. Print it in color.
