UltraEdit Colour Coding
Introduction
This page describes the process for setting up TUFLOW control file colour coding. The method for enabling this has changed slightly with UltraEdit versions, an releases pre version 15 used a wordfile.txt, version 15 and onward use a TUFLOW.uew. The process is described for both of these methods.
Method
Current UltraEdit (version 15 onwards)
Download the UltraEdit Syntax Highlighting file from the TUFLOW website, available at http://www.tuflow.com/Download/Miscellaneous/UE_TUFLOW_Syntax_Highlighting.UEW.
Save this file to the UltraEdit Wordfile Directory. The default directory varies depending on the version of UltraEdit and Username. To check where this directory is (or to change this directory) use the following menu item:
- Advanced >> Configuration >> Editor Display >> Syntax Highlighting
Once the file has been added to the directory, you may need to restart UltraEdit to see the changes.
Older Versions (pre version 15)
Use the automatic colour coding of the control files by downloading the “WORDFILE.TXT” file available at www.tuflow.com/Downloads_Misc.htm and replacing the file with the same name in the C:\Program Files\UltraEdit folder. Alternatively, in later versions of UltraEdit a path can be specified to the WORDFILE.TXT file as shown in the UltraEdit Configuration dialogue below:
Once the file has been added to the directory, you may need to restart UltraEdit to see the changes.
Example
Once implemented, TUFLOW control files (tcf, tgc, ecf, tbc and others) should now be colour coded like the example below:
NT Batch and DOS Syntax Highlighting
If you are regularly setting up and running TUFLOW from DOS batch files, the following wordfile may also be of use to you: http://www.ultraedit.com/files/wf/dosntbatch.uew
It can be loaded using similar methods to that of the TUFLOW wordfile in the examples above.
