Hi Buddhist
First off normally you would go to page
user-submitted wordfiles.
But in this case there is no Objective-C (or I couldn't find it). So what I do in those cases is visit TextPads website
www.TextPad.com
Dig down through Download --> Add-Ons --> Syntax Definitions
Anyway sure enough they have a syntax file for "C-Objective"
http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/files/syntax/objc.zip
UltraEdit wordfiles are in a different format than TextPad but keywords are keywords no matter who's editor you are using. That's the good news!
Now roll up your sleeves, UltraEdit allows only 8 groups of keywords /C1 through /C8.
I think I would copy and paste keywords from TextPad Objective-C into a new language definition for UltraEdit.
One real nice feature is as soon as you save "MyWordfile.txt" you can see the results in a Objective-C program to see if this is what you want your code to look like!
Next thing, UltraEdit help file is fantastic! Just lookup "Syntax Highlighting"
Okay let me give you some simple steps:
- Download "objc.zip" from TextPad's website.
- Find UltraEdit's WORDFILE.TXT maybe it's C:\Program Files\UltraEdit\WORDFILE.TXT
- Copy WORDFILE.TXT to MYWORDFILE.TXT (this way you have the orginal and you can play with out damaging anything.)
- In UltraEdit goto pull down menu "Advanced" --> "Configuration.."
click on the plus sign on "Editor Display" last one is "Syntax Highlighting"
Change the "full path to wordlist:" to newly copied MYWORDLIST.TXT
- Now edit MYWORDFILE.TXT, you can create a new language /L12 or higher or go over the top of /L1"C/C++"
(remember you still have a good copy of WORDFILE.TXT)
This should be a good start, if you have more questions just leave a message!
Good Luck
