Looks really useful, I could use one myself. Thanks.

Doesn't seem to work here. If I hit Return in the middle of a string,
it just puts the rest of the string on the next line, with no + on the
line prior. It doesn't do what your example code shows.

Also, it doesn't quit when the IDE quits, so each time I launch
PureBasic I get a bunch of red [S] icons in the System Tray.

It didn't detect the string scintilla style. Which PB version do you use ?

Oops! I'll fix that.

Hi eddy. Thanks for this tool, I used to love your old one, before most of it got added to the IDE natively...

There are big problems here tho with this here... literally nothing works. Sorry to report that To add insult to injury, the tool doesnt auto-quit when I quit PB, and if I try to close it manually via the tray icon it throws the generic "PBPlugins.exe has stopped working" windows error.

Im using Win 7 Home Premium x64 + PB 5.30 x86.

Copy of log, if its any help:

I reproduced your bug with x86 version of IDE
I'll compile an x86 version

[eddy]

[Updated]
- Added: x86 plugin version for x86 PB IDE
- I added an x86 paragraph in "How to configure" section. (see above)

TODO:
- word highlighting adaptive colors
- Trim spaces
- Fix spacings

[oreopa]

Can happily inform you that the new x86 version works perfectly. Quits gracefully on PB exit and everything appears to work. Thanks for the quick fixing. Useful tool, appreciate it!

I'm sorry to report, but Avast claims the "x86\PBPlugins.exe" plugin has the "Win32:Evo-gen [Susp]", while the x64 seems fine. Were both programs created with PureBasic?

Nervertheless, thank you for your contribution.

Yesterday I wrote a little program that find the "firefox.exe" and terminate it, and Avira claims it to Win32/Hijacker.Gen... I think it's using WinAPI like mine little program to find PureBasic.exe. So the only virus in system is the "virus-scanner"

So the only virus in system is the "virus-scanner"

Avira is particularly good in "finding" anything.
Some time ago, it had actually detected itself as trojan.
