Hi Jim,
I am copying this to the list in case it is of interest to others as well.
Several EdSharp compiler settings developed over time, and for backward
compatibility, I did not change the configuration format, which I agree is
not easy to grasp. I will consider a friendlier format in the future.
In the meantime, each compiler configuration is defined on a single (long)
line in the [Compilers] section of EdSharp.ini. One can edit the user
copy of EdSharp.ini with the Manual Settings command, Alt+Shift+M.
Editing the factory settings requires opening the file
C:\Program Files\EdSharp\EdSharp.ini
The settings on that line are separated by the tilde (~)character as
follows:
CompileCommand -- the command line for invoking the compiler or
interpreter with tokens for the current source file, etc.
JumpPosition -- a regular expression that captures the line and optionally
column where the compiler reports the first syntax error it finds in the
source code, if any.
AbbreviateOutput -- a regular expression that removes extraneous text in
the compiler output, so one can hear just key phrases of interest.
NavigatePart -- a regular expression that determines navigation targets
with Alt+PageDown, Alt+PageUp, and Alt+Shift+G
QuotePrefix -- the character(s) denoting a comment line in the source
language, used by the Control+Q and Control+Shift+Q commands.
ExtensionDefault -- the default file extension for source code files with
that compiler.
GoToEnvironment -- a command line, invoked with Control+Shift+G, that
starts an interactive, console-mode environment for the source language,
if available.
The Configuration dialog, Alt+Shift+C, lets one change current compiler
settings. At present, they do not get written to EdSharp.ini, so if one
switches to another compiler and then returns to the current one, the
settings in the user copy of EdSharp.ini (under the AppSettings directory)
will be restored.

Hi Jamal,
When you have time, would you please explain and document a little more
clearly how the syntax of the compiler lines works with all the ~ marks
and where to put each of the items? I get things in the wrong places, and
when I open the Alt+Shift+C dialog box to adjust things, things are in the
wrong fields. I probably should have picked a compiler line in which
everything was filled in to start with.
Thanks.
Jim
