Why not output XML, then ? <fpc-output> <error file='name.pas' line='xyz' col='nm' code='ABC' params="X,Y,Z">Message text</error> <warning file='name.pas' line='xyz' col='nm' code='ABC' params="X,Y,Z">warning text</warning> <info file='name.pas' line='xyz' col='nm' code='ABC' params="X,Y,Z">info text</info> </fpc-output> It is extensible.
