QlikView in Notepad++

After finding broken links for other posts about QlikView syntax highlighting in Notepad++ I created a basic Notepad++ language definition myself and thought I'd share it. Its far from perfect but it but it does the basics and makes working with .qvs files in Notepad++ a bit easier. Details and links here http://www.qlikviewaddict.com/2012/04/qlikview-scripts-in-notepad.html

A new version of the QlikView Notepad++ Language Definition has been released to correct some minor issues. Version 2.4 contains the following minor fixes/functionality:

  • Added the missing keyword "IN"
  • Added the missing function "filelist()"
  • Other minor code improvements.

As always, head over to the Notepad++ Language Definition page on QlikViewAddict.com (or Branch) for the download link and instructions. New versions of my other syntax highlighters to follow shortly.

A short comment on an issue I've faced recently:

Trying to read QVC.qvs with Notepad++ I've noticed that the Fold All command (and others around the collapse functionality ) in Notepad++ is acting a little bit strange in the following directions:

1. "Fold All" (over QVC.qvs), should show almost only SUB rows. (Perhaps some additional global variable definitions.)

Well, if you look at the very first SUB AsOfTable, it seems that some of the rows are not collapsed as it should.

2. I've noticed FOR is collapsable, but IF it's not.

Is this work as intended ? Can also IF become collabsable ?

Considering you had an important impact on QVC development, I thought this input can be relevant for you.

A feedback from you will be highly appreciated.

Sempre fi,

Cotiso
