Sorry for having to resort to this, I've held off for quite some time now.

I've tried endlessly to find a working syntax highligher. You know where if I type short, it will appear as short or something similar. Maybe I'm a bit picky, my experience of programming comes from Python(which has the IDLE environment), Java(with eclipse), and C++(with MSV ++). But what I need is some color, to tell me "oh hey you left the 'h' out of short.'

All I want is a syntax highlighter. If there are ones that include other features, that's awesome.

I've tried the Notepad ++ plugin, among others which I've forgotten their names (there was a thread with a few links to ones, and either they were broken or didn't work.) I'm using Windows Vista Home Basic.



If anyone can help me, I thank you so much.

which notepad++ plugin did you use?

Has the occasional bit of trouble with multiple condition groups though, or atleast that's what I've noticed.

The reality is that nearly everything that does this is imperfect in some way, or doesn't always work with every kind of scripting. The best solution if you're learning how to script is to learn what all the error messages say when you try to save the script in the CS. 9 out of 10 times, this tells you exactly what you need to fix. There are a few errors which don't show up there, but those are mostly things like having variables which have the same name as a function, or having an extra endif.
