Hi Andre,

I am looking at doing a PowerShell syntax file. Looking through the help file, I have not come across the answer.

I have seen that you can have up to 16 Keyword rows

Keyword1=...
.
.
.
Keyword16=

My question is how many keywords can you put on each Keyword row? PowerShell has at least 400 cmdlets (if I am remembering off the top of my head) and depending on how many keywords you can put on each line, it is possible I could have more keywords that could fit.

Although now that I think of it, I could alway break things down into sections [cmdlets],[cmdlets2], etc.

Nevertheless, a rough idea of how many would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Basically there is no limit, but there could be a drop in performance when parsing the syntax file for long keyword definition files.

I just tested a line with around 2500 keywords (more than 50000 characters) and they are recognized in the editor, however the performance does drop. I would advise trying to keep it under 100 keywords on each line which should be enough the PowerShell syntax file

Thanks,
