Revised sal_fun string

[John Kopp]

string sal_fun[] =
"^[ \t]@{{menu{bar}@}|{{data}|{help}|{key}def}"
+ "|{{public[ \t]#}?{{integer}|{string}[ \t]#}?proc}"
+ "[ \t]+}[a-zA-Z_]"

Adds menubar, datadef, helpdef and keydef to the functions list,
allows spaces or tabs between the left margin and the text, and
allows tabs everywhere that a space was required.

You know, once thing that's REALLY annoying...You can't paste that into the Compressed View... prompt.

 

That regex is 110 characters long.

Try to paste it into the CompressedView prompt and it stops @ the 100th char...

 

That's because TSE.UI restricts it

...

proc mCompressView(integer show_functions)
    string expression[100], options[12]
...

Sammy, how about bumping up expression's size whenever you get around to making the next patch?

Strings are capped at what, 255? That would be handy.

 

[No, I'd never want to key in a 200 char search string. But I would (and do) paste in something long...]

Oops| I missed the fact that I had increased the size of
expression to 255. In 2001, I encountered a similar problem with
the variable s in FindPara, told Sammy, and he increased its size
to 255 characters. Before recent versions, the regex search engine
could not handle an expression of 110 characters. I don't know
what the limit actually is. I remember there was some discussion
regarding this, but I've forgotten all the details.

Anyway, the short answer is: In the function mCompressView(...),
change expression[100] to expression[255].
