How to colorize ABAP code (externally)?

Hi all,

To make ABAP code which I have saved in txt files on my hard drive more readable, I want to colorize them with the help of an 3rd party application / library. For example, if abap code is pasted here on the forum, it is colorized on the server side. Does anyone know about such a solution? All suggestions are welcome.

Best regards;

Ozcan

There is GESHI (PHP) but it seems to handle only basic statements.

Hi,

what kind of colorization do you have in mind, won't crayons do?

I think you may ECLIPSE to do the job.

why dont you do it on your own?

like store the keywords at one place,

and when ever it counters the keywords, convert them to color.

Hi,

PSPAD is freeware text editor which supports also ABAP.

Download PSPAD, install it and then go to menu Settings / Highlighter settings and assign ABAP definition to one of the 5 user highlighter slots. This definition is built-in you don't need nothing more.

Hi,

This is not the exact place to ask this type of questions.

Post your questions in appropriate forums in the future.

Anyway you can try Notepad++ to read your ABAP code with syntax highlighting.

Google for Notepad++, download it .
