Bracket matching/completion

    ()    # Brackets
    []    # Square Brackets
    {}    # Braces
    ''    # Single-Quoted String Literals
    ""    # Double-Quoted String Literals

Perl -> Find Unmatched Brace (brace)

Initial observations,

• works in current editor, does not require the file to be saved :)
• highlights the last unmatched ;-(
• I think it must be counting charter types, with little reference to Perl syntax ;-(

This file passes, this is rubbish ;-((

#!/usr/bin/perl
# based on 03_Good_Morning.pl
# This file assumes that you already read (and understood) earlier sessions!

use strict; # This will be discussed later
use warnings;
### added [
my [( $sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday, $isdst ) = localtime( time() );

if ( $hour < 10 ) { print "Good morning!\n"; }

elsif {( $hour == 12 ) { print "Out for lunch...\n"; }} ### added {}
elsif ( $hour <= 18 ) { print "Hello world!\n"; }]  ### added ]
elsif (( $hour < 23 )  { print "Good night.\n"; })  ### added ()

else { print "sleep well!\n;" }

run against Padre r14200

Opps should have run the Syntax Checker first

• the editor appears to highlight matching braces in luminous green :)

Edit-> Brace Matching (brace) Ctrl+1

• moves the cursor for you
  • If the cursor is outside a brace, it matches to the outside of it's pair. either forward or backwards :)
  • If the cursor is inside a brace, it matches to the inside of it's pair. either forward or backwards :)

Q, why is this on the menu and not just a keyboard shortcut!

Edit -> Select To Brace Matching (brace)

• Cool :)
• Inside outside matching braces as above, and highlights selection for you :)
  • you still need to explicitly copy to place selection on clipboard
  • X11 copy don't work

the above actions also work with "line 7 added [" & "line 13 added ]" hence you are treating brace behind a # comment as active ;-((
