 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

STATIC appeared in V5.4.9 and MMEdit hasn't caught up yet. I am working on it. (slowly) Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Yet another update. I realised that any use of the Library would cause any library functions to get listed as undefined. Now you can scan your library source and add the functions (and constants etc) to MMEdit Plus and subsequent scans will check the library list, labeling them as "Lib" when found in the source. The library list is remembered between sessions. If you don't use the library, this option can be ignored. I have also found more speed improvements. 2019-01-26_145756_MMEditPlus.zip Jim VK7JH MMedit |

No problem - it turned up in a program I'm playing with and I thought I'd mention it in case it was missed. Greg |

False alarm. The updated version has a bug. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Try again - the bug has been squashed. I have made another big improvement in processing time. My test BAS file went from 466mS down to 190mS C:\Users\Jim\Documents\apps\maximite\Boat_Computer_BASIC_Program\BoatComputerV4.bas Time taken 187mS Lines of code: 1162, Total variables: 250 Functions: 6 CFunctions: 0 Csubs: 1 Subroutines: 21 Fonts: 0 Total: 28 I was scanning through an array looking for existing variable names. This was slow so I tried keeping a long string with the new variable names getting added as they are found. It is much quicker to do an INSTR to find existing strings than step through an array. By padding the names to fixed length, it can also return the index to the array without any extra work. You just need to be able to handle long strings. That was the most impressive speed improvement. The others involved changing IF...ENDIF..IF...ENDIFs to IF...ELSEIF...ELSE...ENDIF etc to reduce redundant code sections. I now also check for "CM" etc in TEXT alignment and don't report it as a variable. 2019-01-29_063445_MMEditPlus.zip Jim VK7JH MMedit |

No speed improvement this time. I have added checks for unpaired brackets and quotes. If you are using MMEdit or Notepad++, unpaired quotes stand out but brackets can hide.  I have also added 'crunch' The variable report is still created immediately and then you can 'crunch' This works the same as the crunch in MMEdit. Comments and blank lines are removed. You can then 'copy' the crunch output into the clipboard, with optional AUTOSAVE and ctrl-Z added. (It also caters for Maximite and Picromite formats) Once the crunched (or uncrunched) code in in the clipboard. A right click in TeraTerm or GFXterm will allow you to upload the code with not too much difficulty. You do have to issue your own NEW command first! In MMEdit, the ending ctrl_Z gets suppressed when 'pasting'. That will get fixed in the next update. 2019-01-31_141722_MMEditPlus.zip I might have a play with shortening the variable names next. Not something I like but when space is at a premium, needs must. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

I am pretty sure the RPi now uses AUTOSAVE , the same as the Micromites. It was changed from AUTO in one of the releases. The option to drag the selected contents of an open MMEdit file into the interface does not seem to be available anymore.Is this by design? regards Gerry Latest F4 Latest H7 FotS |

I missed that. I will have to update my RPi and check. I assume that ctrl-Z is still a big no-no. Thanks. I found the need to drop files in one place and text in the other place annoying and couldn't find a way to drop either into the text area so I gave up on dropping 'text' If you were finding it useful, I can easily put it back again. Jim Edit: I have found out how to allow both files and text dropped onto the text window. I will do some more checking but it seems to be OK. VK7JH MMedit |

RPi AUTOSAVE fixed - I knew about that back in November! You can drop 'test' into the text window again (as well as files) It seems to work as expected. 2019-02-01_063012_MMEditPlus.zip Jim VK7JH MMedit |

@TasssyJim Speaking of MMEdit itself, what is the latest version? Website says 3.7.3, April 2018. I have V3.7.5 OS Ver 10 build date 10 Nov 2018. I think that as the latest *tkn file I downloaded from TBS post. Thanks Brian ChopperP |

One thing that annoyed me was the need to 'save' before running MMEditPlus from Notepad++ I have created a plugin that uses the clipboard to copy the current active file into MMEditPlus without the need to save. This saves overwriting a god copy of your program until you are happy with the outcome. Since I went that far, I added a 'Format' option to set the indents of your code using the same rules that MMEdit uses (more or less)  You will need to update MMEditPlus as well as installing the plugin. The old method using 'run' still works the same. 2019-02-06_163452_nppMMplugin.zip Edit the inf file to include the path to your MMEditPlus.exe Place the dll and inf files into a folder named nppMM inside the plugins folder. It is difficult to edit the inf file once it's placed in the Program Files folders! My dll is at: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\nppMM\nppMM.dll" For the two shortcuts, choices are alt, ctrl or shft and they do as expected. The number represents the ascii value of the key eg 65 for 'A' Function keys start at 112 for F1 The above inf file have alt_F10 and alt_F11 Indent of 1 causes all normal lines to start 1 tab-stop in. FUNCTION etc starts full left. Tab stop sets the number of spaces used for an indent. 2019-02-06_163757_MMEditPlus.zip I don't think I have broken anything but take care, the 'format' alters you code. (Undo seems to work) I have tested it on notepad++ V 7.6.3 (32bit). Jim VK7JH MMedit |

I will work on the 64bit version. There are a lot of problems getting the size of integers correct. I hope the n++ documents are kind to me. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

2019-02-07_120712_nppMM64.zip 64 bit version. It seems to work but I get nervous working with pointers so give it a try and see how you go. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Thanks for putting in that effort  The formatting partly works and I think you mentioned that when you posted the 32bit version. BTW I really like the way the main MMedit program formats. Selecting Variable Report from the Plugin or Alt+F10 does nothing, using the existing Run shortcut works fine. Formatting appears to fails in the latter part of an editor file in NP++ as the file size increases. Mike. NANO Inverter: Full download - Only Hex Ver 8.1Ks |
