Syntax highlighting for Telebasic in VSCode, Updated for basic.man 2022. All of the unincorporated stuff: defdbl, defint, defsng, etc are not included, if Telebasic updates for this then I will include it (lazy).
Uses Tandy Color Basic syntax highlighter
It is the current syntax highlighter I've been using, and wanted to incorporate the TH stuff.
Now you know why my code is in all caps, and written traditionally PRINT instead of ? and whatnot. I'm sure that if the regex stuff is in lowercase it'll highlight it as well, %untested%.
- Majority of the Tandy Color Basic highlighting has been removed in favor of Telebasic. Some things still remain.
In the regex stuff, Lines 59 and 65, if you use a variable name that is a function within the BASIC language it'll highlight it within. I've avoided doing eg. \sEXP\s, \WEXP\s or any other variation just out of simplicity, since everyones writing style is different.
AFAIK TH_RE and TH_RE$ can't coexist, I've tried different things, I suck at regex. Its tough to incorporate (at least for me), since it's just one big OR statement. There was one solution of TH\_RE\W but it highlighted the starting open bracket ( when using TH_RE and I didn't like it so I've left it at TH_RE$ for the highlighting.
If you want to fix it you're more than welcome to make a pull request or whatever.
Download and install Tandy Color Basic from the VSCode marketplace.
Copy color-basic.tmLanguage to the extentions folder syntaxes:
- Windows:
%USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\tandy.color-basic-0.1.4\syntaxes - Linux:
~/.vscode/extensions/tandy.color-basic-0.1.4/syntaxes - Darwin:
~/.vscode/extensions/tandy.color-basic-0.1.4/syntaxes
You can make a backup of the current file by making it color-basic.tmLanguage.bakup as an example, if you so wish to do so.
As of 5/8/2022 Tandy Color Basic is version 0.1.4, and is subject to change if the developer updates it in anyway, You really only need lines 23, 59, 65, and 71 (small change, did the line numbers from a length cap of 1-4 to 1-5 digits, personal preference) for future reference, just change those lines in the updated version with the corresponding lines in the color-basic.tmLanguage file to avoid any conficts with the updated Tandy BASIC syntax highlighting. I doubt you'll need to.
