I'm trying to build on what I've already done in the Pascal variant of turbo vision. Maybe I should learn the C++ variant instead. On Wed, Apr 15, 2015, 2:53 PM Louis Santillan wrote: > As an FYI, many terminal/text-based editors (taking gnu nano as an > example here) simply perform a regex mat

As an FYI, many terminal/text-based editors (taking gnu nano as an example here) simply perform a regex match on the text and prefix/postfix the text with VT100/ANSI color codes matching the 16 VT100/ANSI standard colors (which align to similar colors in the 16 color EGA/VGA palette). See examples

In it's present version, it checks the system path and the boot drive and loads the following files: AUTOEXEC.BAT CONFIG.SYS FDCONFIG.SYS PROTOCOL.INI WIN.INI SYSTEM.INI FDCONFIG.SYS was added in 2003. I never added FDAUTO.BAT, although I could. I don't remember why either. I'll try t

Oh,so you wish to modify the Turbo C++ (Which includes TV).I am not sure on how to do this,but I may have an idea.Perhaps you could custom make the highlights.Meaning,there may be a way to set the editor to highlight custom keywords with custom colors. On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 9:10 AM, Louis Santil

I would look at setedit's code as SET implemented syntax color highlighting for TV (djgpp, however). See [0]. [0] http://setedit.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/setedit/setedit/ On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 8:41 AM, Antony Gordon wrote: > Jayden, I don't know if you have used Windows (I'm sure you have),

Jayden, I don't know if you have used Windows (I'm sure you have), but my program is essentially a DOS version of the System Configuration Editor that came with Windows 3.x. I wrote this program using TV on Turbo Pascal when I was working at CompUSA and customers would butcher Windows to the point

Editing configuration files is pretty straight forward when it comes to DOS,but,a GUI is nice.For syntax highlighting,I would do the following: Have a few default structures.Like "=[option]" or [options] So when the user (I am not sure how your program works,so bear with me) types a FDCONFIG.SYS

I've dug up an old program that I used when I was a PC tech to edit configuration files (AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, and the assortment of Windows 3.x config files). It's written in (Turbo) Pascal. Jim suggested I add syntax highlighting and features from MEM to it. I need some pointers on the synt
