NM-TRAN syntax highlighing editor

From: Steve Olson Date: March 15, 2010 technical
Notepad++ now supports a syntax highlighter and auto-complete/help file API for NM-TRAN. http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus/index.php?title=Main_Page NM-TRAN language files found here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus/index.php?title=User_Defined_Language_Files For those that aren't familiar with Notepad++, it is a very powerful, option rich, open source text editor for Windows up to and through Windows 7 (although user forum comments suggest Windows 7 to be a bit unstable yet). Notepad++ is reported to work well on UNIX/LINUX systems via WINE. It was the February 2010 Project of the Month and enjoys a very active user community. After installing Notepad++ and the NM-TRAN user defined language files, editing control files is facilitated with an NM-TRAN specific color scheme, auto-close parentheses, and a reserved variable and $ selection menu. NONMEM User Guide help for all $ routines together with their options is available. Reserved names are being added as time permits. The list is invoked with 'CRTL-space'. Adding a '?' at the end of any listed variable (no space) will pop open the relevant help file in a Notepad++ 'calltip' box. While not intended to be another NONMEM shell, Notepad++ provides command execution (e.g., nmfe) from the editor. Combining this with simultaneous multiple tabbed or tiled files, one can quickly edit and run a control file and view the automatically updated output without leaving the editor. This makes for quick debugging. The editor is a nice replacement for default editors that are currently supplied with some NONMEM shells. Regards, Steve Stephen C.
