[mapserver-users] Mapfile verification tool

[Alberto Najera]

Well, we spend a few hours debugging a 900 plus lines mapfile. We missed a
few ends, had a few extra of them plus some other errors like typos in the
source file calls. So a tool like this would be extremely useful.

I use UltraEdit version 14.00a and have was not aware of such a template.
How can it be activated?

All, 

I've approached this topic over the years by having a nice Syntax editor
available for MapFiles.  Both VI and UltraEdit have proven to have good
syntax templates for highlighting of edited  MAPFILEs. 

I know this is exactly what was being asked about.  But upon further
thought, I wonder if a VI script couldn't be put together to do some of this
checking, at least in pairing of quotes and END statements. 

Just a thought.
