VBscript highlighting in PHP?

mook

Before I go about and reinvent the wheel I was just wondering if there are any code snippets out there that would allow one to take a piece of text and colorize / highlight the text in vbscript format.

Can anyone lend a helping hand?

Ah, there's a really nice PHP library for doing this. http://www.beautifier.org/

I've got it setup on my site and its handling PHP, Assembler, and C/C++. I'm looking at the files and one of the syntax definition files is: HFile_vbscript.php which looks like one you'd be interested in.

Its pretty easy to use, put does require a little bit of planning on where you're going to put the files and then including them properly. There's some examples floating around on that site. Its just a matter of swapping out the syntax file with the syntax file you want to use.

You can see it in action here:

C/C++:

PHP:

Sorry, no VBScript. But you get the idea.

The batch of includes. My register globals is off so I needed to set $BEAUT_PATH as global or the other includes would choke. All the HFile includes are syntax definitions. Just load up the ones you need.

include_once('include/Beautifier/Init.php');
global $BEAUT_PATH;
include_once('include/HFile/HFile_asm_x86.php');
include_once('include/HFile/HFile_cpp.php');
include_once('include/HFile/HFile_cppheader.php');
include_once('include/HFile/HFile_cppsource.php');
include_once('include/HFile/HFile_asm_x86.php');
include_once('include/Output/Output_HTML.php');

The code snippet (this one handles C++ files):

echo '<pre>';
$highlighter = new Core(new HFile_cpp(), new Output_HTML());
print $highlighter->highlight_text($highlighter->load_file($file));
echo '</pre>';
