Re: st: smcl language definition file for Notepad ++?

[Sergiy Radyakin <serjradyakin@gmail.com>]

Jorge, check here
http://code.google.com/r/jimmygriff89-/source/browse/
but I guess it is highlighting of the do-files, not SMCL.

I'd rather not write it and not use it at all, unless it is already
written and well-tested. I am not sure what is the problem with
-project-, but if at any point you have a control over how npp
launches the code, get in there and create a simple wrapper that would
call Stata twice instead of once. First to create the log file, second
to translate it.

At runtime your program can find out where -project- is logging you.
For that you could use: log query.
. log query
      name:  <unnamed>
       log:  c:\temp\junk.log, on
  log type:  text

. ret list

macros:
               r(name) : "<unnamed>"
               r(type) : "text"
             r(status) : "on"
           r(filename) : "c:\temp\junk.log"

With this information you could then log close _all, and then log
using `samefilename', then execute your actual code.
Finally you can actually modify -project- source code to use the log
format you need. Does -project- actually USE any specifics of the
smcl? It seems to me it is a matter of preference.

Best, Sergiy Radyakin
