3.6 Parse Editor Window

If you select a fragment group that haven't been parsed (i.e. no .ast[L] file exist, or it's outdated), a prompt will ask you if this should be done. If you say yes, the source file will be parsed.

If the source file may contain parse errors, a parse errors editor window is automatically displayed. It looks the following:

Figure 5: Parse Errors Editor

The upper pane will display the list of parse errors, with the first one selected.

The lower pane will contain the source file, with the line with the first parse error selected.

If you press <cr> in the upper pane, the next parse error is selected and the corresponding line displayed in the lower pane.

As in the browser window, you can place the cursor between the two panes, and thereby make the one smaller and the other bigger.

3.6.1 Menus

The above menus are those supplied by the source browser by default in a parse editor window. Integrated tools may define additional parse editor window menus - please refer to those manuals for details.

3.6.2 File Menu

Saves the edited file.

Reads in the original file again, thereby removing the changes that might have been made to the file.

Closes the parse editor window. If changes have been made to the file, and not saved, a prompt will be displayed asking whether or not to save the changes.

3.6.3 Edit Menu

Edit contains the Cut, Copy and Paste items with the obvious meanings (working on the contents of the lower pane).
