That is why we did not write any parser for U2logic's XLr8Editor. You can spend a whole bunch of programming time to never quite achieve the goal of the compiler. We use the REAL compiler to give you actual errors. We call this technology Continuous Compile. It works while you type just like Java, C#, and other real time compilers.
