String terminators

[Mr X]

I haven't had much of a chance to play with ppl yet, but one thing that sticks out is the strings. They are surrounded by { and }?

What is wrong with "string" or 'string'? I already have to switch between those 2 choices depending on which language I am using, adding a 3rd just makes things much harder.

Don't worry, PPL supports " " as well. { } allows for multiple levels and any character can be included inside the { } delimiters.

Ex:

Code: Select all

1  2  3  4	{This is a "string"! It can contain multiple lines {and other delimiters too} } "This is another string"
	4 lines; 0 keywds; 0 nums; 5 ops; 2 strs; 0 coms    Syntactic Coloring v0.4 - Dan East

The ' ' are for character values, just like C.

Code: Select all

1	i$ = 'A' + 10;
	1 lines; 0 keywds; 1 nums; 3 ops; 1 strs; 0 coms    Syntactic Coloring v0.4 - Dan East
