Marian Meinhard has done us Abaqus/Notepad++ users a huge service! And it works like a charm!

This is what Marian asked me to do:

Then, start Notepad++ => "View" => "User Defined Dialogue.."

Next, import the downloaded file (userDefineLang.xml). In the "User Language" drop-down menu, you should now see Abaqus, which you are free to edit.

Notepad++ can be downloaded here


The source code can be found here
I also found this site which talks about the Abaqus lexer that was written. I don’t know if it requires a rebuild with the changed/added files or what


Here is the readme file from the source code on how to generate binaries (attached)

I am not a programmer so any programmer out there that wants to take a look at doing this...
