Hi all...

may i know how to use this?

thanks.

Hi all...

may i know how to use this?

thanks.

1. Download Notepad++: http://www.notepadplusplus.org
2. Install Notepad++
3. Download file above: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... 61#p305377
4. Open Notepad++, and click View > User-Defined Dialogue > click Import button. Import the xml file you just downloaded.
5. Open a .rsc script, and syntax highlighting will be visible.

I edit my configuration offline the routeros, so syntax highlighting would be a good help.
I use notepad++ and this morning made a "user defined lang" highlighting schema for .rsc files. I attach it (zipped).

Sure it's not perfect, but if anyone has better editor with routeros syntax, let me know!

I've made some improvements to the colour scheme (matching what's in winbox) and added a bunch more keywords; do you mind if I upload a copy of my modified version here and host another one on my website?

Hi,
my editor of choice is VIM and here's my VIM syntax file based on dtoffo's work.

Linux HowTo:
create your own syntax repository

Code: Select all

[b]mkdir -p ~/.vim/syntax[/b]

and copy there "rsc.vim", then edit

Code: Select all

[b]~/.vim/scripts.vim[/b]

and add lines to let vim recognize them.
Just in case this is your first custom syntax file here's the content for a minimal scripts.vim file:

Code: Select all

[b]" Vim support file to detect file types in scripts
"
" first line check
let s:first_line = getline(1)

"       Mikrotik RouterOS script
if      s:first_line =~ "^#.* by RouterOS"
        setfiletype rsc
endif

unlet s:first_line[/b]

Hope you'll like it.

I wonder why the syntax check (and debugging) is not already implmented in ROS/WinBox...

Is there plugin for Sublime Text 2? It's a great editor.

Anyone has it for textWrangler ?

Thx.

Syntax highliting and check is kind of implemented in RouterOS already.

You just need to call the "edit" command on a script to open it in the whole terminal window, where you have that. The syntax check stops at the first syntax error though, but still.

When I said "open it in the whole terminal window" I meant it. You can't open the script in an external program, and have syntax highlighting there... Well, not natively at least. There are 3rd party add-ons for various editors in this topic, though they are - by virtue of not being in sync with an actual router - error prone (e.g. newer commands/arguments may not be recognized as valid OR there won't be any sort of validation check at all, which in turn limits the usefulness of the highlighting).

If you open up Winbox, click the "New Terminal" button, and from there, type "/system script edit scriptName source" (replacing "scriptName" with the actual name of the script), the terminal windows turns into an editor with syntax highlighting... A very inconvenient to use editor, but an editor still.

Any suggestions how to syntax-highlight RouterOS scripts/configs in LibreOffice or MS Office documents ?
Maybe someone have made a plugin for that? ..

Meanwhile, I'm using THIS post to syntax-highlight some RouterOS config, an then copy-paste it as "Formated text" into LibreOffice document

Code: Select all

# There was some code to highlight, but, turns out, it doesn't work that way..
# How in the hell it worked yesterday?? I really saw colored code in my LibreOffice, when I pasted it.. Hmm..

I upgraded the old (2012) notepad++ highlitghter with a lot of new keyword (about tool, email, logging, package, ups, radius, capsman, etc, etc, etc,).
I attach it (zipped).

thanks to dtoffo for his initial work in 2012.

Highlighting for Kate (editor in KDE5)
Create (if not exist) folder ~/.local/share/katepart5/syntax/ and place xml file there RouterOS.xml
Restart Kate, than open Kate settings and in colors settings in style select RouterOS highlighting and import from file RouterOS.katehlcolor from archive RouterOS.katehlcolor.zip (unpack it before!)
You can set you own colors and text style also in this menu

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\org.kde.syntax-highlighting\syntax\

(create org.kde.syntax-highlighting and syntax if they do not already exist.)

Which editor(s) do you use?
