editor.WordChars not acessable in Scite 3.2 and error-bug

[Frank Wunderlich]

hi,
i have a script using editor.WordChars. i think its not a feature from
Scite-RU and i tried it in GSciTE 3.2.
i get the following error:
..ome/frank/.scite/lua/highlighting_identical_text.lua:98: Pane function
/ readable property / indexed writable property name expected
which points to this line:
word_pattern = '[^' .. editor.WordChars .. ']'
where word_pattern is a local var, so the error can only thrown by
editor.WordChars

because of the dots in front of the path, i can't open the file directly
by doubleclick. changing it to /home/frank works.

Regards Frank

WordChars is a write-only property, a setter.
You can see that in the iFaceTable.cxx file, among others.

Possible workaround: read directly the property from SciTE. For example:

-- The property set specifically in lua.properties
print('lua', props['word.chars.lua'])
-- The more generic property,
-- but doesn't work for multiple extensions (eg. $(file.patterns.cpp))
local ext = string.lower(props["FileExt"])
print(ext, props['word.characters.*.' .. ext])

   This was changed recently (post 3.2.0) with these feature requests:

Phillips workaround works. Thank you.
Is there an easier way i can read them based on this patches?

If you have built with the patch then editor:GetWordChars() will return the word characters.

Good, because I saw no reasons we couldn't get the info back, and my workaround was too
dependent on the way the property was built for the current lexer.

i haven't build it manually...i have the 3.02 binaries from scintilla.org...
i thought the patches are applied already...if i understand you right,
the patches are only applied in svn/hg

ok, so i work with the workaround and wait for the next version...

but why making editor.WordChars not readable and implementing a new method?

As I said: "post 3.2.0".

The code generator (scite/scripts/IFaceTableGen.py) that wraps the Scintilla API for Lua doesn't understand simple readable string properties so wraps it as a function.

in scite 3.02 (last scite_ru) props['word.characters.*.'..ext] is always empty and editor:GetWordChars() is not accesable

what i'm doing wrong?

[Frank Wunderlich]

btw. scite 3.2.2 for gtk does not know editor:GetWordChars() ...is there
no way to work for both versions (3.0.2 on windows,3.2.2 on gtk)?

In Lua for SciTE, getters become kind of properties:

print(editor.WordChars)
