Topic: CFT for CFT? (1 of 5), Read 29 times Conf: Program develop.,Color syntax From: John H Date: Monday, May 17, 2004 09:16 PM Hi, I save a file extension configuration for .CFT (using the vedit.syn) and it seems that confuses the file open config routine.. It's not loading the syn file when I edit .CFT file. Is there some other way I can do this other than manually loading the vedit.syn each time I edit a .CFT file? I realize editing .CFT files isn't a daily thing, but the color syntax feature is just so nice. I get a little bummed when I don't see colors. :-) -- John VEDIT SN: 95651 VEDIT (DOS) Ver. 6.12.1 05/07/04 VEDIT (32-Bit) Ver. 6.12.1 05/07/04 VEDIT Pro (64-Bit) Beta Test Ver. 6.12.1 05/07/04 Windows 2000 (5.0.2195 Service Pack 4)

Take a look at your \VEDIT\STARTUP.VDM file. There is the code for handling .CFT. And some comments. See the note below. // //------- File-open auto-configuration ---------------------------------------- // // The "File-Open configuration" macro in T-Reg 115 is used to set // configuration parameters according to the filename extension // (file-type) or specific filename of each file opened. // It must be enabled with {CONFIG, File-open config, Enable file-open // configuration}. // // Note: The file-open configuration is not performed if you open one of // the configuration files in the \FILE-CFG directory. // Christian

I don't recall why I explicitly exclude the file-open configuration when opening files in this directory, but I suspect it didn't work correctly. You are welcome to try changing the startup.vdm file, but I won't be able to help you if it doesn't work. Sorry. Ted.

Christian pointed out that I could just relocate/copy the CFT somewhere to get it highlighted. I've got enough on my plate without trying to tweak the startup.vdm file. -- John

Ah! One of the places I didn't look.

Thinking more about it, I can see how there could be reasons the syn files are not active for file in the file config directory. Some sort of circular problem perhaps - trying to highlight with a syn file while editing it. I'm perfectly happy just moving them out to a temp area to edit to get the highlighting. Thanks for the info! -- John
