Syntax highlighter in Notepad++ for Igor 9.03 code
This is a style file handcrafted by me based on the output of the syntaxcolor project above (the raw output of this project does not catch all new features like int, double, etc. declarations and has some remaining quirks). Tested and in use in notepad++ v8.5.6. Please let me know if you find any issues.

Hi,
On the Mac side I use BBEdit on occasion and it is showing some highlighting though it appears out of date since some of the newer functions are not color coded. What would it takes to bring it up to date?

Hi Thomas,
Thanks and that is the one I have currently, but it is very out of date (2012). Curious on what it would take to update and I wouldn't mine contributing some leg work to do it.

I would start with editing untitled.tmLanguage and updating the "Functions defined in Igor", "Operations built into Igor" and storage.type.igor.
I gather the list of functions and operations using IP code and a fixed list of XOPs, see https://github.com/t-b/igor-pro-vim/blob/5ad36f9a975633799a583794591c73….
After that it depends on what is still broken. Does that help?

I've added VS Code.

I have updated the Notepad++ syntax highlighter definition above for Igor 9. Note that I have added highlighting styles for some things that are usually not highlighted within Igor:
You can easily remove these features by deleting the contents in the respective style fields.
I also started to build a rudimentary parser for the Function List feature of N++ (attached). This currently only lists functions and no structures and other fancy things. It would be great if someone could expand this. My regex skills are not good enough at the moment to make much progress here.
