syntax highlighting for a log file
Posted: Tue Mar 14, 2006 3:31 pm
I'm evaluating TextPad for use with a log file which can run to thousands of lines. The software has many components, all writing output to a single log file, so each line has a component name, and it's that which I want to highlight.
The problem is that not all my keywords are being highlighted. For instance
[Keywords 6]
Exception
Error
does not highlight the words Exception or Error in the log file, though most keywords are successfully highlighted. I also have, in a different keywords section
InternetAccess
InternetAccessImpl
Xiva
XivaCore
where the 2 Internet keywords are successfully highlighted, but the 2 Xiva ones are not.
Any ideas what's going on here? Could be really simple, as I'm completely new to this side of TextPad.
Thanks
