I'm not sure if I trust that download link.
If you are going to distribute this then it should come with the code. I dont run .exe files I download unless I am pretty sure they wont do anything nasty
Isn't this considered spam? :D
Well, in the mean time... just looking at the code you posted, I can't say I like the colors. Datatypes are colored the same as keywords and preprocessor directives. Libraries are colored the same as string constants. It's all a little confusing.
Well it's close to the color scheme Visual Studio would use by default, not that I'm defending it.
What I don't like is the boldface, that was a mistake. If you've ever read a black & white printout of some code, you'd understand why, siavoshc. Bold can play a much more important role if you don't print in color.
I am going to upload whole source code after some clean-ups. It is in C++\CLI.
The selected color for each item is not a problem. It is too simple to change them.
Code:#include <iostream>
This looked like fun so I had a go too. So far it only works with C and the tags create a lot of bloat, but it seems to work ok, which is the main thing. I put the code on webpage generated by the prog. Heres a link to my syntax highlighter.
Cheers.
Doesn't even come close to codeform by dwks ;)
Or its painted self... http://dwks.theprogrammingsite.com/m...m/formself.htm
And online self... http://dwks.theprogrammingsite.com/myprogs/cfonline.htm
Is this an installer... inside a WinRAR self extractor... that's been run through UPX? >.<
Furthermore, your program wants admin privileges to install >.>
So, like, a 1.5MB executable to ship ~80KB exe?
Some comments:
1) Word counts are off - Try typing some whitespace in the box, you'll see.
2) You seem to be missing a few keywords (typename, catch, default being the three I noticed.)
3) // Comments, on the last line, are not highlighted
4) You write to C:\Program Files\Your\Dir ... it gets redirected to C:\Users\blah\AppData\Local\.....
Glad to see codeform has a following. :D (Don't forget the clipboard Perl scripts!)
By the way: in the latest version of codeform (1.2.0), tags that are the same colour are merged together, eliminating the "bloat" that I assume mike_g was referring to. I can't remember how I did it, but I'm sure you could find out by looking at its source. :) (Basically, record the starting tag, allow skipping over whitespace, and check if the next tag is the same as the previous one.)
Yeah, thats the same as what I had done. It chopped a third off the size. Last night I added colouring to the brackets and all the space I had saved was lost again :/ I might see if I can shrink the tags using xml.Quote:

I guess that's the price you pay for coloured brackets. :)
BTW, if you're generating HTML, CSS can really reduce filesizes. Plus it makes the output more easily customizable. Of course, this doesn't work for, say, BBCode.
Lol yeah, I added coloured operators and text formatting (bold, italic, underlined). I have intentionally been ignoring the filesize. I'll look at reducing it again later.Quote:

Yeah I'm using css in the tags atm. For example:Quote:

Which as you can see causes just a little bit of bloat. I could save space by writing a set of classes out first, but I might be able to save even more by making custom XML tags using XLST styles. Then it may look something like:Code:<span style="color:#00FF00;font-weight:bold;">{</span>
Code:<bkt>{</bkt>
I'm somewhat shocked that doing something correctly is now "bloat".
Use strong tags I guess? I'm not sure why this is such an issue in our age.
Thanks for your care.Quote:

4) You write to C:\Program Files\Your\Dir ... it gets redirected to C:\Users\blah\AppData\Local\.....
1) Yes, it is not really a word count. I should erase it.
2) OK I'll add them, for now you can add them manually in options.
3) Press enter.
4) Can you explain more?
By bloat you mean adding extra tags? Why it would be a problem?
You need to fix those little bugs like comments not highlighted on last line etc, though it is always possible to add a new line. Because it's still a bug.
Reminds me that I once made one in PHP too.
http://maxx.5gigs.com (Click on the typenames ("Comments, "Preprocess") to select a color)
It is kind of slow but that's because it's a free host and PHP isn't really designed for manual word processing.
Quote:I think it should give <...> another color.Code:#include <iostream> //asdfafsd /*sdfsdf*/
[edit]
gcc compiler is the most colorful editor, isn't it?
Normally yes, but in the preprocesor that would be a little strange.Quote:
I think it should give <...> another color.
Windows may be rerouting whatever you wrote to that directory because of a permissions setting on his system. But whatever the reason is, it's happening.
I would also recommend fixing this problem. And fixing it by staying the hell away from program files. As of vista, you can no longer just write to program files without putting in a request to the user, or your application would need to be run as administrator explicitly. And... your program is just a widget that highlights syntax and has no business rooting around in there. It should not require admin permissions at all.
It's sort of amazing that you've written a new version to a GUI application and never did this sort of quality control testing (testing for limited users, guests, and and admins) so you'd at least be aware of your programs behavior on a windows machine, but I digress.
Never used VI/VIM before?
The default C/C++ high-lighting has it...
I've used MSVC++, Code::Blocks, Dev-C++ and Notepad++. I've never programmed in Linux. :p
Yeah, that's the basic gist of it. I mostly just wanted him to be aware of this behavior.Quote:
Windows may be rerouting whatever you wrote to that directory because of a permissions setting on his system. But whatever the reason is, it's happening.
In Vista, C:\Program Files is read-only. But, many older programs require write access, so, in a good ole MS kludge, files written to C:\Program Files\SomeFolder go to %USERPROFILE%\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\SomeFolder (USERPROFILE is usually set to C:\Users\%USERNAME%, I think)
The behavior of this whole thing reminds me of unionfs in Linux, except a whole hell of a lot more confusing. It can basically result in programs telling you "Error in file C:\Program Files\Folder\file", except that the file it's talking about isn't there. Or, it gets the wrong copy, if the file exists both places, etc. Just something to be aware of.
Explore the AppData folder on your box, do some research, etc. It's like the .folders of a unix ~ dir... except... more confusing.
Now, permissions for folders can be editted to avoid the above, but, you should decide where to put data. Per-user data should go in a AppData subfolder, data that the program needs but won't be changed by the users should go in C:\Program files.
After reading this thread i decided to make my own code painter, so here it is. It takes the file path to the cpp file as the first and only argument, loads it into a buffer, and then parses it and writes the code and the color tags to a stringstream and then outputs those into an html file. Oh and it uses CSS aswell. I just finished it 5 minutes ago, after having spent a couple of hours on it, i'm thinking of adding another command-line argument to specify whether the code is C or C++ so it won't highlight "class" or "throw" as keywords in a .c file (Or maybe make it able to recognize the file extensions itself and adjust accordingly).
Also, my plan is to make the generated HTML w3c compliant to the HTML 4.01 standard, but since this is kind of a beta i haven't gotten around to that yet, and to make sure the CSS validates aswell.
And yes i realize that there might be a possibility for some overflow errors depending on the code that is inputted, i'm working on that..
The color scheme is similar to that in dev-c++, but it's so simple to change i won't even bother explaining how..
All feedback appreciated :)Code://[email protected]

Some comments:
Why not just haveCode:DWORD i = 0, j = 0, k = 0, l = 0;
bool IsKeyWord;
//Main parser loop
for(; i < InputSize; i++)
You don't use i after the loop, so declaring it outside of the loop is meaningless, and skipping the "i = 0" is just silly - the compiler will optimize it into one initialization anyways.Code:for(DWORD i = 0; i < InputSize ...)
This is repeated MANY times. Should be a function.Code:i++;
ch = pBuffer[i];
//Remember to replace '<' and '>' with the appropriate HTML codes
(ch == '<')? ss << "<" : (ch == '>')? ss << ">" : ss << ch;
Your comment colouring doesn't cope with old C-style comments (/* ... */).
Petty things:
I prefer to figure out how many they are from sizeof(), and just leave the brackets empty - the compiler then makes the right number of them. sizeof(Keywords)/sizeof(Keywords[0]) will give you 62 - but if you have to add one (or remove), you just add it to the list, no messing about.Code:const unsigned int NumOfKeywords = 62;
...
//Array of keywords, the first 32 are C/C+++, the last 30 are C++
std::string Keywords[NumOfKeywords] = {"auto","const","double","float","int","short","struct","unsigned",
...
Add a break - that way, you don't loop through another 61 keywords trying to match it with "auto".Code:if(IsKeyWord)
{
....
}
I also get the impression that the keyword compare will make "automatic" colour "auto" as keyword and then leave "matic" the normal colour. You probably need to check that there is a delimiter at the end of the keyword.

Thanks Mats, i added the changes you suggested, and the code now looks like this:
It now takes care of C-style comments aswell, and all the coloring code is in functions. Oh and it won't make the first half of a word like 'automatic' or 'intelligent' bold anymore. Also, it SHOULD handle backslashes properly now, had a couple of problems with that one, but it seems to be working now :)Code://[email protected]

Since CPP, Quote, Comment, etc all have the same function signatures, you could use an array of function pointers to call them if you wanted to. Or some C++-er way. It just might be neater than a switch statement.
I don't really see the point of using windows-specific file handling functions -- the standard C++ header <fstream> should have all you need and more. Unless, I guess, you're more familiar with them or something.
I have a suspicion that you wanted data.length() + 1 there . . . .Code:pBuffer = new char[data.length()];
Minor detail:
would be easier to read as:Code:!(pBuffer[i+k] == Keywords[j][k])
(And it's shorter to write).Code:(pBuffer[i+k] != Keywords[j][k])
Also, along the lines of what dwks says, there is a lot of code repetition in your functions still - particularly the bit that "take next character and output either itself or >/<. I think all of the loops can be translated into a generic function that loops around until some end condition - perhaps use strchr() to see if it's in a list of characters to terminate the current colour?

I was just reading through this thread quickly, and I noticed something that I thought I should comment on:
That might be easier to read asCode:(ch == '<')? SS << "<" : (ch == '>')? SS << ">" : SS << ch;
I really don't like nesting the conditional operator, though, so I'd suggest using if/else or switch instead. Or, better yet, perhaps something like this:Code:SS << (ch == '<' ? "<" : (ch == '>' ? ">" : ch));
But maybe that's just overkill. ;)Code:const char *find = "<>";
const char *replace[] = {"<", ">"};
const char *p;
if((p = strchr(find, ch))) SS << replace[p - find];
else SS << ch;
