'''''How to add Cobra to existing SciTE Install(simplest):'''''

The simplest way to add Cobra support is to overwrite the Global properties file, add the cobra.properties file, and the cobraproj.properties file -- all of which are attached to this wiki page.  The location to put the associated files will typically be a location like: "C:\Program Files\Scintilla Text Editor"

The cobraproj file allows a list of files to be compiled as a single project (i.e. uses the -files option).  Compilation needs to be done on the cobraproj tab.

An example cobraproj file, !AppBuilder.cobraproj:

{{{
AppBuilder.cobra
Interfaces.cobra
Interchange.cobra
Builder.WinForms.cobra
Builder.WinForms.Field.cobra
Builder.WinForms.Class.cobra
}}}



'''''How to add Cobra While Preserving an existing Global Properties file:'''''

To use a cobra.properties file, as provided in one of the forum posts, be sure to make the following changes to the SciTEGlobal.properties files:

 * Add "{{{Cobra|cobra||\}}}" and "{{{Cobraproj|cobraproj||\}}}" to the list of languages set to the menu.language property.  Search for "menu.language=\" to find the location in the file.
 * Add "import cobra" and "import cobraproj" to the list of imports.  Search for "import asm" to find the location in the file.
 * OPTIONAL: Add a .cobra and .cobraproj file extensions, by adding "*.cobra;*.cobraproj" to the list of extensions assigned to the "source.files" property.  Then add "$(filter.cobra)\" and "$(filter.cobraproj)\" to the assignments to the "open.filter" property.  Search for "source.files" to find the location in the file.
