Memotech Z80 Assembler question

[mrtinb]

I've made an update.

This is even more automatic.

It automatically disables auto-new-line, when it reaches the empty line at the end.

Downloaded and trying them now.

This is great work Martin.

This assembler has just become much better.

Many thanks for the time you have given to this, Martin I much appreciate it.

[mrtinb]

I needed the features myself.

[Moggy]

I noticed that if a comment is added to the listing without space after the semi colon then the auto list works ok.

But if a space is typed after the semi colon used for comments then this seems to stop the auto list but I shall experiment more before reaching a conclusion.


EXAMPLE

1 ORG 16514
2 POS 16514
3 LD A,128
4 RST 16
5 ; THIS MAY STOP
6 ;THIS MAY NOT
7 RET
8 END

EDIT.

Yes having checked again it seems that when adding comments do not leave a space after the semi colon and the auto list will work ok.

[Moggy]

I have edited my previous post many times for which I apologise as I tend to write/test as I go along hence the many edits.

[mrtinb]

Nope.

It’s because I don’t check whether the whole line is empty.

I only check the first char of the mnemonic. So some comments will be seen as empty lines. This is why an added space early on the line, pushes a char into the first char of the mnemonic place.

[Moggy]

If you read again my edited post, Martin you will see that I have come to the conclusion that all that is required is to not leave a space after the semi colon and all is ok.

Again this is excellent work.

[mrtinb]

It’s to keep the patch small an simple (and not too slow, as it’s running for every key press).

[mrtinb]

Now there's a patch, that detects empty lines better. Before, it detected empty line with space in column 7. Now it tests for space both in column 1 and 7.

And there's an extra easter gift. Shift-T will enable/disable [.] period-key to work as tabulator as well. Then you don't need to press two keys e.g. Shift-Z for tabulator.

(Somehow you need to activate Shift-T to activate Shift-NL.)

Edit: Load Z80ASP3L, and it will load the other files.
