Is CSV format supported as language by SyntaxEditor?

Hi Christel,

We don't have anything specific for it.  Isn't it just plain text?  I'm not sure what features you'd want for a CSV language.

Hi,

 yes, it is just plain text, but the file format is also defined with some general constraints:

• consists of records (typically one record per line),

• with the records divided into fields separated by delimiters (typically a single reserved character such as comma, semicolon, or tab; sometimes the delimiter may include optional spaces),

• where every record has the same sequence of fields.

The wish of one of our customer is, to show this format in a "friendly" way, such as colouring the delimiters, e.g. the commas or something else.

Therefore the question.

I think, I can define a simple definition language file for this.

Thanks for your answer anyway!

Oh correct, just make a dynamic lexer definition that groups things like text words and numbers together into a single token, whitespace into another, and things like your delimiters into another.  Then apply a style to the proper delimiter.  That will get you the syntax highlighting you want.
