Syntax Highlighting for Essbase Script Languages

Monday, November 2, 2015



Regularly writing scripts for Essbase and not fund of writing them in EAS Console? Than you might appreciate syntax highlighting in Notepad++, my favorite text editor !

This is how...

Download and install Notepad++ (see My Favorite Tools) and download the syntax definition file from here.

Like shown on the left, navigate to "Define your language..." from the top menu bar.







Click the import button as show in the picture above. Browse to the earlier downloaded syntax definition file "Essbase_userDefineLang.xml". Close the Window, no need to save. Restart Notepad++ and navigate collapse the menu option "Language", you should see the three Essbase languages added to the list as shown the picture below.



Simple, but effective!

  1. Hello,
    I have developed my own Essbase language syntax with highlighting functions, function autocompletion, and occasionally error detection.
    I share my development.
    I hope it works for you.
    Cheers!
