CLM.. some parsing

[Jakob Peterhänsel]

Hi All,

BBEdit 13.1 beta..

Messing around with a CLM here, trying to follow this: http://www.barebones.com/support/develop/clm.html

Comments

If I understand this correctly: http://www.barebones.com/support/develop/clm.html#UnCommentMarkers

We should not use these ‘old’ types any more:

<key>Open Line Comments</key>

<string>-- </string>

<key>Open Block Comments</key>

<string><![CDATA[<!-- ]]></string>

<key>Close Block Comments</key>

<string><![CDATA[-->]]></string>

But use the new BBLMCommentLineDefault, BBLMCommentPrefixDefault/BBLMCommentSuffixDefault?

<key>BBLMCommentLineDefault </key>

<string>-- </string>

<key>BBLMCommentPrefixDefault</key>

<string><![CDATA[<!-- ]]></string>

<key>BBLMCommentSuffixDefault</key>

<string><![CDATA[-->]]></string>

If I use the old tags, comments are color coded just fine and blocks are foldable, not if I use the new ones.

In any case Un/Comment line/Block does not seem to work.

What am I missing? Do I need to make a Comment Pattern?

‘Functions/Parts of the file'

The configuration files I try to make a CLM for, has special areas in the file, inclosed in HTML-like tags:

<area-one>

..config here..

</area-one>

<another-area>

..config here..

</another-area>

It seems like I can’t do like this:

<key>BBLMKeywordList</key>

<array>

<string><![CDATA[<area-one>]]></string>

<string><![CDATA[</area-one>]]></string>

So I guess I need to make a Structural Element  with a Function Pattern, that would also make it foldable, and make the RegEx specific enough to find the open & close tags..

Am I on the right path? ;-)

The "Open Line Comments", "Open Block Comments", and "Close
Block Comments" values are used for interpreting the text, so
you need them. They do not affect the behavior of Un/Comment Lines/Block.

The "BBLMCommentLineDefault", "BBLMCommentPrefixDefault", and
"BBLMCommentSuffixDefault" values alter the behavior of
Un/Comment Lines/Block, and do not play any part in syntax
coloring or function scanning.

So, you need them both (and their values may be the same).

Probably. :-) Trying to parse HTML-like things with regular
expressions, or expressing them with a codeless language module,
is generally a losing battle; but if you constrain things enough
you may be able to make it work.

Thanks Rich,

Then I just need to brush up on the Grep in CDATA.. is the Grep Ref in the BBEdit manual still the best place?

Stuff like this needs some getting used too:

(?x:

(?P<function>

^(?!\.\.\s)\ ?(?P<function_name>\S[^\r]+)\r

^(?P<bar>[-=`:.'"~^_*+#!$%&(),/;<>?@[\]\{|}])(?P=bar)+\s*$

(?s).*?(?-s)

)

(?=

(^\s*\r((?P<overline>[-=`:.'"~^_*+#!$%&(),/;<>?@[\]\{|}])(?P=overline)+\s*\r)?

^(?!\.\.\s)\ ?\S[^\r]+\r

^(?P<nextbar>[-=`:.'"~^_*+#!$%&(),/;<>?@[\]\{|}])(?P=nextbar)+\s*$

) | (?-m)$

)
