PowerShell color coding for Visual Studio 2010

I updated my Visual Studio extension TextHighlighter and added support for PowerShell and Cmd files. .Cmd file edited in Visual Studio 2010 will have the same color coding as a .Bat file.
In summary the TextHighlighter extension provides color coding in Visual Studio 2010 for:
  • .Ini file
  • .Txt and .Log files based on customizable regular expressions
    • Ship with special rules to visualize MSBuild log file
  • .Bat and .Cmd files
  • .Ps1 file (PowerShell)
    • Multi line strings and commenst are not supported. I cannot figure out how to do this in the TokenTagger class method GetTag().
    • Help wanted





To install the extension in Visual Studio, Click menu Tools -> Extension Manager. And enter the keyword TextHighlighter in the search for the gallery.

    Could you update the installer to handle systems where IronPython 2.7 is installed? It seems to be hardcoded right now for IP2.6 -- as witness this directory is listed as not being found (when I tried to run the extension in VS2010): C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.6 for .NET 4.0\Lib

    Thanks,
    J
