LEXI Promo BR Web Scripting Bridge
Lexi

Entering line numbers is a constant distraction to the flow of creative thought. Programmers shouldn't have to concern ourselves with counting line numbers when we have computers to count for us. Allow LEXI to handle these cumbersome details for you.

LEXI, the BR! Lexical Preprocessor is a system for integrating BR with your favorite text editor. Officially, Lexi supports MyEdit, but it's possible to integrate Lexi in almost any decent programmer's text editor.

But Lexi also does a lot more. By preprocessing your code before it is passed on to BR, Lexi gives you access to many useful language features not normally found in Business Rules!.

If you use Lexi, you can edit your BR Programs without the constant hassle of Line Numbers. This frees you up to copy and paste code, rearrange code, and add and edit code without having to worry about or manually change any line numbers. Lexi adds, changes and manages your line numbers automatically when you "compile" your programs into .BR files.

Lexi also gives you access to additional programming statements common in other languages, like SELECT CASE and #DEFINE. These commands will make your code more readable and easier to maintain.

Best of all, Lexi is Free. Download Lexi and try it out today.

Installation

Installation is simple and will only take a few minutes. Lexi works best with the latest version of MyEdit.

  1. ) Download LEXI here.
  2. ) Unzip Lexi.zip into "C:\Lexi". You must use this directory in order for the automatic installation to work.
  3. ) Copy your own brserial.dat file into this directory (C:\Lexi).
  4. ) Launch MyEdit.
  5. ) Select Tools -> Configure User Tools from the menu, and click the Import Tools button. Select the "Lexi.mut" file that came in Lexi.zip.

That's all there is to it! Now you're ready to enjoy the power of Lexi.

Programmers shouldn't have to think about counting line numbers. Rearranging code should be as easy as CTRL-X, CTRL-V.

Give LEXI a try and enjoy better focus and greater productivity today!
