HI Graeme,
Many thanks for your reply - much appreciated.
What I'm trying to do is colour code different Oracle Event types and Statistics types.
Oracle has multitudes of wait events, as well as statistics (I do a great deal of Oracle database tuning).
I'd like to colour the wait events differently from that statistics.
In Codewright, I was able to 'get' these event names from a read-in text file. I have noticed that this is also possible in SlickEdit,
via the 'tools --> options --> file extension setup'. I have tried it, with " around the strings I want to colour code, and without " as well. Unfortunately, it does not work - seems to get very mixed up.
When I try to add the wait event names in manually [as keywords] (via the GUI), I use the " around the event name and can get a few of them in before I hit the error I mentioned in my first email.
I would really appreciate some help with this, since I spend alot of time in these tuning (statspack) reports. I also have other areas where I would apply the same ideas.
Writing complex macros is not really where I want to be - esp. since I'm new to Slickedit and it seems as if it has the functionality I am after - albeit perhaps not working correctly (or me using it wrongly).
Many Thanks,
Adrian.
