parseErrorLineNo.diff

   1 From: Tony Balinski <ajbj@free.fr>
   2 Subject: Show the line number at which a parse error occured
   3
   4 This patch counts the number of newlines from the start of the source buffer
   5 whose parse has failed. This will be the line number in a macro or macro
   6 file where the error was detected. If an error is found in the parsing of
   7 the NEdit configuration (nedit.rc), the line number is that of the unit
   8 being parsed, not the whole file.
