VB Style Simple Language

Version: 4.0.0241

Hi,

Trying to create a VB style language using the simple add-on example. I'm having an issue attempting to identify the start and end of the 'Block'.

For example

Function Test(x, y)

End Function

Essentially the first line is no different to the simple example, so ok there. My problem is how do I get it to recognise the Function/End Function vs {/} of the simple language??

Once I get this, this will hopefully clear up a lot of confusion.

Thanks

Question, do you mean for lexical or semantic parsing. Also describe how you are implementing this, like via a dynamic language or programmatic lexer, etc.

Hi,

I'm attempting to do this via Lexical parsing in the Grammer designer. As stated using the Simple Language as a basis.

In our VB.NET add-on's semantic parser, while scanning within a Function block we are always looking for an End token that is followed by Function. In that case we break out of our scanning loop, eat those two tokens, and know that the function declaration is over.

Ok - I'll take a look.

Any thoughts on doing some sort of tutorials on the basic stuff as the c#/c style is different to vb??

I can add that to the TODO list for you.
