mike_pfs_npp

Overview

Very simple code folding and syntax highlighting in Notepad++ for files created by the MIKE by DHI hydrodyanmic modelling software. Currently auto-detects files with .m21fm, .ecolab and .plc extensions. Requires Notepad++ (obviously).

Developed with MIKE by DHI 2012, but it should work for most versions of the software.

Usage

Notepad++ allows you to add new languages by adding language definitions to a userDefineLang.xml file. Add the MIKE_PFS definition like this:

1. Download the language definition file userDefineLang.xml from GitHub to your computer.
2. Click Start > Run, and type (or paste in) %APPDATA%\Notepad++, then click OK. This will open the settings directory for Notepad++.
3. If it does not already exist, copy the downloaded userDefineLang.xml file into the Notepad++ settings directory. Skip to step 7.
4. If it does exist, open the active userDefineLang.xml with a text editor.
5. Copy the contents of the MIKE_PFS definition file between the <UserLang>...</UserLang> tags into the active userDefineLang.xml, at the end right before </NotepadPlus>.
6. Save userDefineLang.xml.
7. Restart Notepad++.
