Function List for Simatic

Burak Tavukcuoglu

Hi!
I recently discovered a bug in the function list feature. (or something I overlooked)
The function list works great. But when I open certain files, functions are not being listed. However, when I copy the content of my code to a new window, functions are listed just as normal.
This does not happen with every file. With file names such as: SPF_DIR.arc and MPF_DIR.arc, it happens all the time. Are those file names not permitted in Notepad++?
Thanks!

AFAIK there’s no restriction on file names other than the standard Windows restrictions.
Could you post the files and the Notepad++ Debug Info (you can find it in the ? menu) so I can try to reproduce the problem?

In the shared folder, there is a file which I am trying to display the functions of it and the respective functionlist and the user defined language.
Due to the copywrite agreements, I can not post the complete code that is why I trimmed the code to the function names. I tried to view the functions, it didnt work.
Many thanks!

Due to the copyright agreements, I can not post the complete code …

I understand and so far the trimmed down code helps, as it does not show any functions on my system either.
I’ll have a look.

Thank you for correcting me. I probably typed it really quick. :)
I can confirm that the regex file you provided, really did the trick and the function view normally works. It fails to show the functions whenever I try to open a new file
Once again thank you so much for your help!

You’re welcome!

Incomplete parser;
Known bug with comment following function header.

ad.1. Adapt parser to:

<parser id="NC_function" displayName="NC 840dsl" commentExpr="(?m-s:;.*?$)">
	<function mainExpr="(?m)^%_N_\K[A-Za-z_]\w*" />
</parser>

ad.2. There have to be at least two characters between the function header and the comment.
e.g. a line-break and a space

%_N_CH1_BASIC_POS_SPF
 ;$PATH=/_N_SPF_DIR
;(c)2013 by Linsinger Maschinenbau Ges.m.b.H.

or two line-breaks

%_N_CH1_BASIC_POS_SPF

;$PATH=/_N_SPF_DIR
;(c)2013 by Linsinger Maschinenbau Ges.m.b.H.

or two spaces

%_N_CH1_BASIC_POS_SPF  ;$PATH=/_N_SPF_DIR
;(c)2013 by Linsinger Maschinenbau Ges.m.b.H.

or a colon and a line-break

%_N_CH1_BASIC_POS_SPF:
;$PATH=/_N_SPF_DIR
;(c)2013 by Linsinger Maschinenbau Ges.m.b.H.

etc.

It is weird. Because it doesnt happen with other files even though the comment line is right below the function tag.
Thanks for your time and help!

Had another look …
ad.2. or make sure your line-breaks consist of a carriage-return and a line-feed (i.e. two characters).

Your SPF_DIR - Kopie.arc uses line-feeds for line-breaks i.e. only one character between tag and comment.

Is it possible to add an exception into comments section?
For example: everything is a comment except when $PATH comes right after ‘;’.

MAPJe71

Yes that can work, in your case!
Change commentExpr to "(?m-s:;(?!\$PATH).*?$)".
