I'm interested in adding the single quote character as a word separator, but I haven't been able to think of a way to add it to the vedit.cfg file.

Currently my setting is

Config_String( WORD_SEP, ',;:" *,!()=+-%.' )

I tried using the unix escape sequence \' but the next time I loaded vedit it crashed Windows 2000!

I also tried using the escape sequence |h27, but this was interpreted as |,h,2,7 as word separators.

The single quote character as a word separator would be very helpful for php and c programming.

Thanks!

Use Config_String( WORD_SEP, \,;:" *,!()=+-%.'\)

Many different charcters can be used as string delimiters in VEDIT.

Ted, thanks for your quick response.

Unfortunately your suggestion did not work. I replaced my vedit.cfg entry by cutting and pasting your entry. This caused Windows 2000 to crash (a hard, pull out the plug crash). I tried several variations, but all with the same results.

I'm using version 6.01.2.

Thanks

Strange that you got a crash; I just get an error message.

My mistake - "\" cannot be used as a delimiter, but ` or $ are OK:

Use Config_String( WORD_SEP, `,;:" *,!()=+-%.'`)

Ted.

Ted, thanks again. Your suggestion worked. I think you folks have the best editor out there, and we recently bought several more licenses where I work.
