Open Brace with nested "if" doesn't work

Hi,

I'm testing software with Ratonal Robot (SQA = basic dialect). In my wordfile I have

open brace strings ... "If" "Select Case" For"
close brace strings.... "End If" "End Select" "Next"

This works fine, as long I do not have nested statements like:

Code: Select all

      If   bla Then
           If blu Then
              do something
           Else If
              do something
           End If  
      Else If 
           If blu Then
              do something
           Else If
              do something
           End If  
      End If

The matching "End If" for the first If is not found. Is there any posibility to get that to work?

Thanks

The problem here is that the word "If" is also a word in "End If" and in "Else If". UltraEdit cannot know that the "If" in "End If" and "Else If" should be ignored. The only solution I have found is following:

/Open Brace Strings = "Then" "Select Case" For"
/Close Brace Strings = "End If" "End Select" "Next"

Well, not really good, but better than nothing. It's always bad if a language is based on identifier terms and not on identifier words.
