Sorry, Rick; I was absent doing something intricate. I've returned to extman and your immediate problem is in the most shaky part of the script; how to find the files in your scite_lua directly in a platform-independent way - scite_Files. You'll notice there's a local variable path, but it isn't set on Linux (or strictly speaking, any GTK build)! The fix is to add a line "path = ''" (that's an empty string) after that declaration. 'ls' already gives us a full path so path doesn't have to be fully set.
I've updated the files on the wiki, but they don't _seem_ to be updated. http://lua-users.org/wiki/SciteExtMan So you can also get extman.zip (which now contains extman.lua as well as the examples) from http://mysite.mweb.co.za/residents/sdonovan/extman.zip There was a little bug in switch_buffers.lua which is also now fixed; extman now uses a better recipe to work out if a user entered a line in the editor or the output pane. That makes the little script to create a Lua command prompt less suprising ;) I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get a grip on Lua in SciTE, because this prompt understands all the built-in stuff like 'editor' etc. And (this is really cool!) it should now be possible to actually reload scripts. (Shift-Ctrl-R). I shall try to be a little bit more on the ball from now on. steve d. >>> Rick Sivernell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 19/10/2006 02:04 >>> On Mon, 08 Nov 2004 11:14:26 +0200 "Steve Donovan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks to Jens, I've patched my SciteTags so that it works fine > on Linux as well.
