Hello everybody,
Those of you who have integrated Crimson with Stata (possibly
following Mr. Huebler's excellent instructions here:
http://huebler.blogspot.com/2008/04/stata.html) may have already done
this:
Crimson's Stata specification file (stata.spc) goes like this:
# STATA LANGUAGE SPECIFICATION FILE FOR CRIMSON EDITOR
# Stata 8
# Created By Jean Ries
# [email protected]
# 03Sep2004
$CASESENSITIVE=YES
$DELIMITERS=~`!@#$%^&*()-+=|\{}[]:;",.<>/?
$VARIABLEPREFIX=$
$QUOTATIONMARK1="
$LINECOMMENT=//
$LINECOMMENTONFIRSTPOSITION=*
$BLOCKCOMMENTON=/*
$BLOCKCOMMENTOFF=*/
$PAIRS1=()
$PAIRS2=[]
$PAIRS3={}
I thought it would be nice if in addition to the parentheses, brackets
and braces Crimson also matched the (left single quote - apostrophe)
pair. So I thought that a stata.spc file that looked like this might
do it:
$CASESENSITIVE=YES
#$DELIMITERS=~`!@#$%^&*()-+=|\{}[]:;",.<>/?
#$VARIABLEPREFIX=$
$DELIMITERS=~`'!@#$%^&*()-+=|\{}[]:;",.<>/?
$VARIABLEPREFIX=`$
$QUOTATIONMARK1="
$LINECOMMENT=//
$LINECOMMENTONFIRSTPOSITION=*
$BLOCKCOMMENTON=/*
$BLOCKCOMMENTOFF=*/
$PAIRS1=()
$PAIRS2=[]
$PAIRS3={}
$PAIRS4=`'
You have to declare the elements in $PAIRS as delimiters beforehand,
and the apostrophe was not on the original list. Then I thought I'd
add ` to the $VARIABLEPREFIX too.
But none of that mattered. My stata.spc file won't match `'. Any ideas
why that might be?
Thank you,
Gabi
