Notepad++ / Discussion / [READ ONLY] Help: How to associate a new file type with a lang

Nobody/Anonymous - 2007-09-06

How can I associate a new file type to always be treated like it's a certain language.

Example: I am programming in a custom build of C. The file types for this are .mc. But, for all purposes, the language is C. So I want it so that when I open up the .mc file, it will automatically associate it as in the programming language C (so that I don't have to go and select C under the language menu for each file...there's alot of them).

Thanks!

    Open langs.xml in Notepad++ installation directory. (eg: C:\Program Files\Notepad++)
    In the document search for <Language name="c"
    Add mc to ext attribute eg: <Language name="c" ext="c mc"
    Save the file.
    Next time a .mc file will be opened as c file.
    
    <Language name="c" ext="c mc" commentLine="//" commentStart="/*" commentEnd="*/">

      Or just use the Styler Configurator.

      Why so complicated? Just go to
      
      Settings > Style Configurator > Language > Perl
      
      and add your extension under
      
      User ext:
      
      That's it!
