Rainmeter lexer

[sl23]

In Rainmeter skins, there is often a second usage for square brackets, for example:

Code: Select all

MouseOverAction=[!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# StrokeAlpha "Stroke Color #Green#"][!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION#Free Text "##CURRENTSECTION#Name#"][!ShowMeter #CURRENTSECTION#Free][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

Would it be possible to show these in a specified colour? Preferably separate from the Section colouring of square brackets.

The same for the Pipe symbol:

Code: Select all

Shape=Ellipse 0,0,5 | Extend FillColor | StrokeWidth 2 | Extend StrokeAlpha

I have very little experience programming so haven't a clue how to follow the tutorial btw, I have looked at it. I'll take a look again when i have more time.

Thanks for any advice.

Pls change the title of the topic: not INI lexer, but Rainmeter lexer. You need 'Rainmeter' lexer from AddonsManager.

I tried the Rainmeter lexer in notepad++ but didn't like how it worked. I just want to tweak the ini lexer to highlight these two things.

Can I do that or is it better to create a new lexer?

I'll give the CT version a go, didn't know there was one!
Thanks

Plugins / Addons Manager / Install,
find 'Rainmeter' lexer and install it.
Pls test with it and suggest for it.

OK thanks Alexey, I'll try that out later

As I see, this lexer already highlightes many things, also [] and pipe-char, also quoted strings and #names# and !names.

If you did not know, how to open .ini files with another lexer:

That didn't cross my mind, but definitely required information thanks for the link!
