You can start with the Mill G Code - 04/14/99 syntax highlighting wordfile.

Move your mouse over the menu Downloads of the JavaScript menu at top of the page, move your mouse down to Additional Downloads, move your mouse right over Wordfiles and click on it with primary (left) mouse button.

If you have not enabled JavaScript, you can also click on the Downloads item in the Main Menu on left side. Next click on Wordfiles & More. Then click on Syntax Highlighting Wordfiles.

At top of this page you will find some instructions how to add the content of a wordfile you can download on this page to the wordfile you currently use.

The date of the wordfile for "G code" makes clear that this wordfile is old and surely does not enable all the enhanced syntax highlighting feature of the latest versions of UltraEdit.

The wordfiles are written by users like you and are sent to IDM which host it without really testing it. Why? Because for testing/updating a wordfile big knowledge about the syntax of the highlighted language and good example files are necessary. You can't suppose that IDM really has the knowledge and example files for all the languages for which wordfiles exist.

IDM highly welcomes contributions from users. So if you have high knowledge about "G code" and lots of example files, please improve the really old wordfile for "G code" and when finished send it to IDM. My macro set to sort the keywords of a syntax highlighting definition, find duplicate words and find invalid words will be maybe a help for you - see the ultimate syntax highlighting tools.

If you need further help to create the improved syntax highlighting wordfile for "G code", post here your questions and I will try my best to answer it and help you.

There is a big help page titled Syntax Highlighting in help of UltraEdit which explains what you can use for syntax highlighting and how to create your own language definition.

A user has written also a Template for syntax highlighting language wordfile which you can also use.

There are also some Power Tips about syntax highlighting wordfiles.

Hi,

Try the following which works pretty well for me:

/L13"NC Files" Nocase Line Comment = $ Block Comment On = ( Block Comment Off = ) File Extensions = ISO NC CNC
/Delimiters = Q( )=+*
/Function String = "%[%+O+:]*"
/C1"G-Codes"
** G
/C2"M-Codes"
** M
/C3"Rotary and Linear Positioning"
** A B C U V W X Y Z
/C4"Angle, Radius"
** I J K R
/C5"Speeds and Feeds"
** F S
/C6"Line-Numbers, Tools"
** N T
/C7"Radius-, Length-Offsets"
** D H
/C8"Other stuff"
** % : E L O

Just go to Advanced->Configuration->Editor display->Syntax highlighting, open the wordfile and paste the above code at the end of the file. Make sure that no other language in the file uses the /L13 number, or alter the /L number for NC Files to the next free number.

Save the wordfile: then, while still in the Syntax highlighting window, choose "NC files" from the Language dropdown, and go through the Color Groups for the NC language, altering colors to taste.

Have fun!
