Error Files for Editerror

The :Editerror command in Qedit uses an error file to Open source files, position the cursor to the line with the error, and print the error message at the top of the screen. This useful feature works well with the Splash compiler, since it generates error files in a format that Qedit expects. For other compilers, you could write an error processor to generate this file.

When using the :Editerror command, the format of the error file is as follows:

  1. Lines are variable-length or fixed-length.
  2. The file should be ASCII.
  3. Each line has the form: prefix-character blank data
  4. The format of the data varies depending on the prefix-character.
