PureBasic Forums - English

Hi!

If anyone feels the need to have some support for multilined statements - or in other words, long and complex statements, that can be splitted over multiple lines - this might be a solution for you.

I made a PB IDE plugin that makes this possible.
The idea/concept: The character ":" is already used to connect multiple statements to one line. I thought that the same character could also work as the opposite. If you have a ":" at the end of a line without any trailing code (with exception of comments) this stands for "continue the actual line in the following".

Example: So, as you can see, the last line of such a multiline-statement doesn't have a ":".

Features of my plugin:
* Multiline commands
* Preprocessing during the events load, save, compile, and create executable (edit)
* The saved file is always runnable even without my plugin
* Backup files are created as prevention against dataloss as implication of bugs
* Debugger works without any drawbacks (breakpoints, and even hovering of variables)

Interested? Download it from my website: http://www.wojner.at/static/downloads/purewrap.exe
But please note that it's still in a proof of concept state, so don't use it on important code firstly.

The plugin is splitted into 3 tool-definitions as follows: (Edit: 4 tool-definitions)

Tool1:


Tool2:


Tool3:


Edit: Tool4:


Edit: You can also change the action-character to any you like by editing the file purewrap.pref which is initially created in your home-folder.

I hope it works for you as stable as for me ... have phun with it!

Cheers,
Didelphodon.

nice one, but with bug

write some code in a empty tab and save the source, endless loop! Only Taskmanager helped me.

greetings

What do you mean by "empty tab"? Please gimme more details that i can correct this issue.

Ok, I found out that you meant an empty sourcefile!
I solved that problem - the new version is online.

Cheers,
Didel.

works fine, thx
