Hello everyone.

I'm new to the language (Jscript or whatever) that this uses, although I am skilled in C/C++.

Anyways, I want to try and make a plugin and will turn C/C++ keywords blue, comments green, etc.

I just need a starter, such as a code that will just turn one word blue, and I can do the rest.

I came up with this:

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(pChatWnd, sMessage)
{
    if (sMessage.substr(0,1) == "if")
        sMessage.substr(0,1) = "[c=2]if[/c]";
    return sMessage;
}

---

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(pChatWnd, sMessage)
{
    if (sMessage == "if")
        sMessage = "[c=2]if[/c]";
    return sMessage;
}

---

sMessage.replace(/if/gi,"[c=2]if[/c]);

Should do most of it for you, comments would need to be done a little different.

Yeah, I thought of that..

The first one works, but it only works when I say "if" and nothing else.

Sorry for double post, but

That one you put there, doesn't work.

How do I use it?

just like:

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(pChatWnd, sMessage)
{
    if (sMessage == "if")
    sMessage.replace(/if/gi,"[c=2]if[/c]");
    return sMessage;
}


or what?


I want it to change every "if" that is in the text, not just the first one. Even just

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(pChatWnd, sMessage)
{
    sMessage.replace(/if/gi,"[c=2]if[/c]");
    return sMessage;
}

doesn't work.
Any ideas?

sMessage =  sMessage.replace(/if/gi,"[c=2]if[/c]");

Yeah, I replied before I saw your first message

Thanks Silentdragon, I got it.



But now, what about comments?
For one, // would only comment out the current line, but make the next line back to normal (but see, when MSN breaks lines, that messes it up..)

Or, just turning anything inside "/* */" green.. Possible?


-Paril

you could replace // with Alt0003-3// and replace linefeeds with Alt0003

Could you post an example please? I am really no good at Jscript

sMessage = sMessage.replace(/\bdo\b/gi,"[c=12]do[/c]");

Thank you

Now, what about comments? How do I do that?

You should check to see if the keyword is a part of a multiline comment

I tried that, but it wouldn't let me use comments at all after that.. I must be doing it wrong, I'm not very good at Jscript..
