X12 syntax highlighting for Notepad++?

I work with a few different X12 standard EDI transactions (270/271, 276/277.) I thought I'd check to see if anyone knew of an existing syntax highlighting profile for these for Notepad++ before I start to work on my own.

I ran into the same problem, and ended up creating my own based on schema I had for 4010 & 5010 270/271, 276/277/278 message types.

Copy the code below into a file called X12.xml or something, then use the user defined language import feature in Notepad++ to import that xml file.

• User defined dialogue... button (lightning bolt button)
• Import button

• May have to restart NP++ after import, but afterwards the new language will appear in your Language drop down menu.
