Does anyone have a syntax highlighting config for Tandem TAL?

Hi Ken

I found a TAL syntax definition file over on TextPad website. The format is different for TextPad but all the key words are there for you to copy in to UltraEdit's wordfile.txt format.

http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/synn2t.html

This is the quickest way I know to define a TAL syntax file. If you have any questions please leave a message here and someone will get back with you.

The help file is very good at explaining "Wordfile.txt". Check out other languages VB, C++, html & java in the wordfile.txt I think you will pickup on UE format very quickly.
Plus you have the added benefit of seeing how TextPad did there syntax.   

Hope this helps.

Thanks, MrBill

I put together a 90 percent solution from what you provided. Probably no one will ever need it, but here it is, for posterity.

/L10"TAL" Nocase Line Comment = -- Line Comment Alt = ! File Extensions = TAL
/Delimiters = ^;
/Function String = "%[a-zA-Z_0-9*]* PROC ^(*^);"
/Function String 1 = "%[a-zA-Z_0-9*]* SUBPROC ^(*^);"
/Function String = "PROC ^(*^);"
/Function String 1 = "SUBPROC ^(*^);"

Thanks for the TAL post. I will be using it.

It's good to know there are still TAL users out there.
