Lingo Language Module for BBEdit

As a service to the Director community, Avacast is giving away this BBEdit language module to provide syntax coloring for Director Lingo (.ls) files.

Update 05/01/05: the Lingo Language Module has been updated for BBEdit 8 and above. It's a total from-scratch re-write of the module. In this version, symbols are not syntax-colored. Email me if that's a problem for you.

This comes with NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, NOR ANY GUARANTEE OF SUITABILITY FOR ANY PURPOSE etc. etc. etc. It works for us; it may not work for you. Could it crash, making you lose all your code? Sure. It hasn't for me, but it might for you. If it does work for you, it'll do the following things:

Associate Lingo with ".ls" files
Identify and color all Lingo keywords (if I missed any, please let me know: rob [ at] avacast [dot] com)
Identify and color symbols, strings, and comments

Download version 2.0.0: Lingo Language Module for BBEdit 8.0 and later (13k zip)

Download version 1.0.2: Lingo Language Module for BBEdit (12k Stuffit compressed)

To Use: Quit BBEdit. Download and uncompress the file. Copy it into ~/Application Support/BBEdit/Language Modules/ directory. Restart BBEdit.

The old version 1.0.2 code is based on Chris Stern's Python Language Module.
