Hi Keita,
Hello, I'm writing a code editor and so far, i've been using Flex for
regex-matching the whole document every time the text is changed and
coloring appropriately...
How are you doing this? How did you incorporate Flex or regex-matching?
I approached it using regex to parse the quoted and commented strings
into single objects, then parse using regex for the language, then
reinsert the quoted and commented strings. But this was using perl and
scripting, whereas I now need to port to Cocoa.
I managed to get regex working in Cocoa using RegexKiteLite, but now
need to move across the rest of my method.
I got this idea from some CocoaBuilders or CocoaDev forum/mailing
list awhile ago
Do you have a link to the article?
but it's terribly inefficient and slow, especially with large
documents.
I would hope that there's come Cocoa class for parsing source text
into tokens etc, but don't know of anything.
Tom
