Nagelfar: Tcl Syntax Checker

Nagelfar: Tcl Syntax Checker is a feather-light and portable piece of software that can verify the syntax of your source code written in the Tcl scripting language. It enables you to test script codes, select the level of severity, and pick the script encoding method, among other options.

The entire application's wrapped in a single .exe file that can be copied to the disk or a USB flash drive to launch it on any PC by double-clicking it. No modifications are made to the Windows registry as a direct consequence of using this app. Plus, it doesn't need DLLs to run and doesn't create extra files on the disk without your permission.

When it comes to the interface, Nagelfar: Tcl Syntax Checker sticks to a simplistic-looking window with a neatly organized structure, where you can get started by opening syntax database and Tcl files.

The verification procedure is triggered with one click and can be stopped if it takes too long. Depending on the syntax database file used, the tool shows each line of code in the main window, along with the error type (if any).

It's possible to jump to the next error, delete syntax database or Tcl files, increase or decrease the font in the results window, pick the preferred editor (internal, Emacs, Vim, Pfe), choose the severity level (show warnings, errors, or all), disable warnings about shortened commands, allow unbraced expressions, deactivate variable checking, and select the script encoding mode (ASCII, ISO 8859-1, System).

You can browse the database using search commands and bring up the edit window to the screen with support for a basic search tool, backup feature, and three font sizes. The available help documentation explains the error messages, syntax databases, inline comments, calls by names, syntax tokens, code coverage, and plugins.

To conclude, Nagelfar: Tcl Syntax Checker contains advanced options for experienced users who want to check the syntax and edit Tcl source code.
