ConTEXT Highlighter for TorqueScript

Download Code File

I use ConTEXT as my primary editor for PHP, Perl, HTML, and sometimes C++. I like to work with a single tool for everything under the sun if possible, so, I took the 10 minutes to set up a new ConTEXT highlighter file for TorqueScript. This has the complete set of console commands set into it already (thanks to Ron's TGE Console Commands file)

So if ya use ConTEXT - here it is. If not - it's a pretty nice little editor, and works fairly well for just about anything. Check it outsometime. If there's any commands missing from the set I put in there, or, if I missed somethin' else, give me a holler and I'll throw it in there the next time I update it.

Hope someone else finds it useful ;-)

this is kind cool! 2 things i noticed for the breif time i played with it

1. the word wrap doest seem to work

2. there dosent seem to be any "find in files" option

Maybe i just didnt look hard enough?

The best thing i like is the file panel (like windows explorer) :)

Ace: There isn't a find in files, unluckly, unless you set up a project. Setting up a project for a Torque based project is a PITA in ConTEXT because you can't recursively add all files. Version 1.0 (in development - I've seen screenshots of it at least) has a proper find in files.

Don't turn on wordwrap - his idea of wordwrap sucks :-P

I love the file panel - it's very nice to be working on my current source tree, have the files open, back out of it and into a previous version, and compair a file or two to see what I've done wrong... er... changed ;-)
