"the DLL of da^hype is good, but bugs has many... " And would be easy pro Khaled to make, for who creates mIRC would be papaya with açucar to create "sintax highlight"... Khaled for the love that you have in God you place one "sintax highlight" in mIRC, it makes this for we.. sorry my english and my text... __giLsoN_maLuKO__

It would definitely be nice to see, but I think it will be a very large project to complete and I have a feeling it isn't at the top of Khaled's list of things to do.

This would allow mirc dll developers the freedom to replace/improve on it without 'patching' the main mirc.exe and breaking LA. Unlikely, but just a thought :s "Allen is having a small problem and needs help adjusting his attitude" - Flutterby

I agree. Highlighting would be a great addition to the editor. Even basic things like highlighting braces, variables, and identifiers would be a great enhancement.

Personally, my solution is to use my favorite editor, and the following script I wrote:

Code:

;For people who use external editors for their mIRC
; scripts, this little script will check for when files are
; modified, and prompt to reload them.

on *:start:{ CheckReload }

alias CheckReload {
  if (!$timer(CheckReload)) .timerCheckReload -oi 0 1 if ($isalias(CheckReload)) CheckReload $chr(124) else .timerCheckReload off
  var %n = $script(0)
  while (%n > 0) {
    var %fn = $shortfn($script(%n)) 
    if ($hget(Scripts, %fn) && $file(%fn).mtime > $v1 && $input(The file $script(%n) has changed. Do you want to reload it?,y,File changed)) { reload -rs $script(%n) }
    hadd -m Scripts %fn $file(%fn).mtime
    dec %n
  }
}

It's not a perfect solution, but it gets the job done. I'd still love to see this script become useless, though.
