Error Line number not being highlighted, with custom compiler setup

(1/1)

scopaev:
I successfully installed the CCS PIC compiler into the code::blocks list of compilers.
The compiler works great with code::blocks with the exception noted below.

The Error Lines are not being highlighted in the code.
When I try to double click the Build message error, nothing happens.

I think the issue has to do with codeblocks not setup for STDOUT "GCC Brief Format" errors by default.
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.3.5/gnat_ug_unx/Output-and-Error-Message-Control.html

Just hoping that there is a flag or something I can set to activate this.

EXAMPLE:

WORKS GREAT, GCC Compiler & CB:
  ERROR Format:    FileName|LineNumber|ErrorMessageString|
  ERROR Example:   D:\test.c|15|Something is not right|

DOES NOT WORK, CUSTOM PICC COMPILER  ("STDOUT" + "GCC Brief Format") & CB:
  ERROR Format:    FileName:Line:Column:ErrorMessageString
  ERROR Example:   D:\test.c:15:22:Something is not right

You should check: Compiler settings->Other settings->Advanced options->Output parsing
It's been a long time but I think the expression below was working then:

--- Code: ---Compiler Error
Regular expression: [*]+[ \t]Error[ \t][0-9]+[ \t]["]([{}() \t#%$~A-Za-z0-9_:+/\.-]+)["][ \t]Line[ \t]([0-9]+)[()0-9,]+:[ \t](.*)
Message: 3
Additional message 2: 0
Additional message 3: 0
Filename: 1
Line: 2
--- End code ---
You can use "Regular Expression testbed" in plugins, it is very helpful.

Regex...shivers down spine

Thank you!!!, thats exactly what I needed  :) .
The regex testbed is fantastic (made life easier).

The following ended up working nicely for the CCS compiler messages:

--- Code: ---  (.+):([0-9]+):([0-9]+):(.*[Ww]arning.+)
  (.+):([0-9]+):([0-9]+):(.*[Ee]rror.+)

--- End code ---
  Although they seem too simplistic (but work).

-------------------------------------------------------
New "minor" issue:
  Now my Errors are a pretty red and my Warnings a pretty blue (I like it).

  After compiling, my "Build Log" Tab does not automatically switch to the "Build messages" Tab.
  The "Build messages" Tab is where I can click the line numbers and get auto placed to the right area.

  I notice that it is somehow related to having a "Linker for dynamic libraries" listed in the "Toolchain Executables".  The CCS compiler does not have a separate linker, which is why I did not list one.  When I place something in that field (Ccse.exe same as the C Compiler), I get an error from the C compiler (not code::blocks) stating that there are 2 duplicate source files.

  Anyway, any idea about where to look to get the Build log tab to auto switch to the build messages tab?

Again thanks so much

Quiss:
As you stated above, it does not have seperate linker; so you just "Compile current file", not "Build" or Rebuild".
