codeTag v3.0 Public Beta

codeTag v3.0

Well, some of you may remember how about 2 months ago I finshed writing codeTag, and program for tagging the code you post here with markup tags for readability. I've totally rewritten it a total of four times now, and I think it's as good as it's going to get for a while. :) Here is an example of what it does:Private Sub MyTestingSub(sParamater1 As String, sParamater2 As Long, ByVal sParamater3 As Double)
'******************
'*** MyTestingSub
'*** codeTag Test
'******************

Dim a As Single
Dim b As String
Static c As String

b = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
a = 5

Exit Sub 'Test Test
'Test
'Test
End Sub

So, download it, try it out, post your thoughts. Running it through really large code (like 1000+ lines) can take about 20 seconds.

[EDIT -- I just realized I forgot to make the Copy to Clipboard button do anything :o Do it manually for now.]

Any chance you could insert a progress meter? Or at least change the mouse icon to an hourglass or something while its colorizing...
Other than that - spiffing!!

Well, generally speaking it takes less that half a second to do, but sure :)

About how long did it take you to colorize that code? One or two seconds maybe?

Two of the Const keyword are black instead of blue

Step is black instead of blue and the String$() function is blue instead of black.

Here is some code with some uncommon keywords:

Option Explicit
Option Compare Binary
Option Base 1
DefStr A-Z

''this declare param is long, I changed it to any to test the color
Private Declare Function RegCloseKey Lib "advapi32" Alias "Test" ( _
ByVal hKey As Any) As Long
Rem this is a remark

Dim WithEvents x As CommandButton


Sub Form_Load()

Dim a
Dim aa As Object
Dim ss As Long

On Local Error GoTo Errors

a = " ' "[/color]

If a = "s" Then
Open "somefile" For Random Access Read Write Lock Read Write As #1 Len = 100
Close #1

ElseIf a = "a" Then 'Do nothing

End If

ss = ss Xor ss
ss = ss Imp ss

Errors:

End Sub

It *should* look like this:

OMG, is rem still valid. I had no idea. Is it just there for compatiblity or does it have use?

One thought...

Remember that users can change the default VB coloring. For example, for a while I used grey for comments rather than green. Perhaps there is a way to detect their color scheme?

Ya its still there.:) I think it is for compatability. I've never used it and never will.:p

I'm not gonna bother with Rem... it's never used, probably never will be, and it'll just slow everything down. Other thing, is Len on yours always blue? If it isn't, is it a special handler in the code?

Option Explicit
Option Compare Binary
Option Base 1

''this declare param is long, I changed it to any to test the color

ElseIf a = "a" Then 'Do nothing

ss = ss Imp ss

End SubHow about now?

Still a bug with the Rem part.

I, like Banjo, thought that REM went out with QBasic. Perhaps I was wrong...

*types Rem test into IDE*

Yes, I was wrong...... heh :D

No, that's not a bug -- I'm not gonna bother with Rem. Unnecessary slowness.

I wonder if a forum for users to anounce their progs would be a good addition to the board?

What do you think?

We have the Code Library for that purpose.

Oh okay ;) my fault...

I just thought about it because this thread was started under random thoughts :)
