Also if possible one that already has a pre-built language/syntax file? Thanks in advance.</P> <P>Cheers,</P> Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:29:20 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Windows-text-editor-with-syntax-highlighting-for-Splunk-conf/m-p/78270#M19803 bmacias84 2013-03-28T17:29:20Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Windows-text-editor-with-syntax-highlighting-for-Splunk-conf/m-p/78271#M19804 <P>Ok, I have decided to use <STRONG>Notepad++</STRONG> since I am already familiar with it. With that I have built a User Defined Language file for Splunk’s .conf files that highlights stanzas, system defined variables, most of setting keys and is case sensitive which will allowing you to see typos. It works best on a black background. It has been posted on <A href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus/index.php?title=User_Defined_Language_Files">Notepad++ Sourceforge wiki</A> page called <STRONG>SPlunk configuration.</STRONG> Feel free to contact me regarding bugs. Hope this helps others in the community. </P> <P>Personally I was tried of eye strain and typos.</P> <P>Cheers</P> Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:31:29 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Windows-text-editor-with-syntax-highlighting-for-Splunk-conf/m-p/78271#M19804 bmacias84 2013-03-28T17:31:29Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Windows-text-editor-with-syntax-highlighting-for-Splunk-conf/m-p/78272#M19805 <P>I haven't been able to get it work yet, but this should be very helpful. Thanks very much. Do you know of anyway to setup syntax highlighting for search queries?</P> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:50:16 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Windows-text-editor-with-syntax-highlighting-for-Splunk-conf/m-p/78272#M19805 jumper4000 2013-06-18T17:50:16Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Windows-text-editor-with-syntax-highlighting-for-Splunk-conf/m-p/78273#M19806 <P>I will post the instructions tonight.</P> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:38:16 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Windows-text-editor-with-syntax-highlighting-for-Splunk-conf/m-p/78273#M19806 bmacias84 2013-06-18T18:38:16Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Windows-text-editor-with-syntax-highlighting-for-Splunk-conf/m-p/78274#M19807 <P>Notepad++ Sourceforge wiki page is unavailable.
