No problems, I checked out an older version which was 10MB in size (277,380 lines of text to be exact). Using jEdit v4.3.1 (which is a Java program and uses regex for highlighting) opened that file in under 1 second and syntax highlighting was immediately available. Ctrl+End to to jump to the end of the file. Again, instantly moved there and instantly the syntax highlighting was done! THE SLOWNESS YOU GUYS ARE MENTIONING IS BASED ON AN CRAP IMPLEMENTATION. I don't know what editor you guys used to test syntax highlighting, but clearly it was a crap editor. jEdit being a Java program is damn fast (imagine that, a Java app being fast.) and extremely efficient with LARGE files. So regexp syntax highlighting, implemented correctly, does not slow down syntax highlighting!! -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
