ctags pre-defineds as reference

[JoseQuintas]

PN already have some pre-defineds ctags for VB, as example. Is possible include them as samples? I think they can be a good reference. Until now, I do not understand what regular expression to use. examples of what Harbour have: function test( a, b, c ) procedure test create class testclass inherit anotherclass method test( a, b ) class testclass local a, b, c private a, b, c public a, b, c I think can be found on VB, C., but pre-configuration for ctags is not available to use as reference.

I'm guessing you mean pre-defined textclips? You can find them all in the clips directory where you installed PN. The file format is fairly simple, or you can make them with PN itself.

No, it is about configure ctags, to show on ctag window for a new language. Try some configurations but do not works. I would like to see what configuration was used to vb.

[JoseQuintas]

I try some configurations found on google

--langdef=harbour
--langmap=harbour:.prg.ch

Have you seen these docs?

http://www.pnotepad.org/docs/howto/tag_custom_languages/

Support for many languages is built into ctags, so that's why you can't find files for these.

[JoseQuintas]

Read too many times, but only now I found my mistake. on additionalSupportedSchemes.ini Associate letters is only part of configuration, need to have a section for each of that names. I was using "properties" for all. Thanks to makes me try once again.

[simonsteele]

No worries, glad it's working!

[JoseQuintas]

A occurence that I can't solve:

--langdef=harbour
--langmap=harbour:.prg.ch

--regex-harbour=/^METHOD [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/m,harbour/
--regex-harbour=/^[Mm]ethod [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/m,harbour/

--regex-harbour=/^PROCEDURE [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/p,harbour/
--regex-harbour=/^[Pp]rocedure [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/p,harbour/

--regex-harbour=/^\#define [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/d,harbour/

[harbour]
f = 1
p = 2
v = 13
c = 3
v = 18
d = 20
m = 15

Search list ok, but: p shows as "procedure" ok m shows as "method" ok d shows as "unknown" wrong

0  Unknown
1  Function
2  Procedure
3  Class
4  Macro
5  Enum
6  Filename
7  EnumName
8  Member
9  Prototype
10 Structure
11 Typedef
12 Union
13 Variable

More confuse now. change to letter X

--regex-harbour=/^\#define [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/x,harbour/

x = 20

Now, appears on list as "macro".

[JoseQuintas]

Seems work now. No section name.

--langdef=harbour
--langmap=harbour:.prg.ch
--regex-harbour=/^PROCEDURE [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/a/
--regex-harbour=/^FUNCTION [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/b/
--regex-harbour=/^CREATE CLASS [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/c/
--regex-harbour=/^METHOD [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/d/
--regex-harbour=/^VAR [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/e/
--regex-harbour=/^MEMVAR [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/f/
--regex-harbour=/^PUBLIC [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/g/
--regex-harbour=/^PRIVATE [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/h/
--regex-harbour=/^LOCAL [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/i/
--regex-harbour=/^\#define [\t]*([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/j/

[harbour]
a=2
b=1
c=3
d=15
e=18
f=13
g=13
h=13
i=0
j=20

Now I have:

• class
• constant
• function
• method
• procedure
• variable For others, I need learn about ctags. rules because of extra spaces

I do not understand section name use, then limit will be 26 rules, letters a-z .
