UltraEdit Syntax Highlighting for Torque Scripting Language

UltraEdit is a slim and powerful Editor for Windows. An Evaluation copy can be downloaded from their homepage. Full version costs something ~35.00 USD.

UltraEdit allows to add highlighting for custom languages, and the following steps will enable highlighting for TorqueScript:

1) Menu "Advanced"->"Configuration"->Tab "Syntax Highlighting"

2) Open Wordlist ("Full path name for wordlist" - Button "Open")

3) Copy/paste the following section after the end of the Wordlist file:

/L6"TorqueScript" Line Comment = // Block Comment On = /* Block Comment Off = */ Escape Char = \ String Chars = "' File Extensions = CS MIS
/Delimiters = ~!@^&*()-+=|\/{}[]:;"'<> ,	.?
/Function String = "function [a-zA-Z_]*)[~;]"
/Indent Strings = "{"
/Unindent Strings = "}"

/C1"Torque Keywords"
else
or
break
return
while
if
for
continue
function
new
datablock
case
switch$
switch
default
package
true
false
exec
echo

/C2"Torque Local Vars"
** %

/C3"Torque Global Vars"
** $

/C4"Torque Operators"
==
!=
>=
<=
&&
||
::
--
++
$=
!$=
<<

+=

*=
/=
%=
&=
^=
|=
<<=
>>=
@
?
[
]
+
-
*
/
<
>
|
.
!
&
^
~
=

4) save the Wordlist file.

From now on, all files with the extension ".CS" or ".MIS" will be opened with syntax highlighting applied (see screenshot). TorqueScript functions are listed automatically in the function list.

To adjust the colors to your preferences:
1) go to "Advanced"->"Configuration"->Tab "Syntax Highlighting".
2) In the Language Dropdown Box, choose "TorqueScript"
3) In the Color Group Dropdown Box, choose the group to change (e.g. "Torque Keywords" at the end of the list)
4) Adjust Color.

Have fun,
