  I use Sublime Text 2, and figured I'd share the build thing I set up for each file here, for users that also use this delightful editor:

  Create a new build system with this in it, save, and press CTRL+B to execute

  {
    "cmd": ["C:\\path\\to\\your\\findglobals.bat", "$file"],
    "selector": "source.lua"
  }
  

  This is written in a json constructor so, you have to escape the backslashes in the path with a second backslash (\\)

  I stored globals.lua alongside a batch file with the name 'findglobals.bat' in "My Documents\Subversion" where I keep all the addons I'm working on.

  The batch file is simple with just two lines

  @echo off
  luac -l -p %1 | lua path\to\your\globals.lua %1
  

  Sublime Text will run this batch file and pipe all of the output from it into Sublime's console, so you can read it really easily in the file you're working on.

  Of course, just modify the paths in each of the files to suit your particular needs.

  For those running Python 3.x, I've written a small script to run the find globals script and display a "human-friendly" report.

  http://www.curseforge.com/paste/6180/

  Sample output:

  Global 'CreateFrame' accessed at:
    ./FactionBroker.lua at line 1198
  Global 'FactionBroker' accessed at:
    ./FactionBroker.lua at line 3
  Global 'io' accessed at:
    ./LocaleBuilder.lua at line 14
    ./LocaleWatcher.lua at line 14
  Global '_G' accessed at:
    ./FactionBroker.lua at line 201
    ./FactionBroker.lua at line 941
  ...

  @Morsker: Go

  I love the nppExec ability how did i not know about this! Here is my command when using F6:

  C:\lua-wow\global.bat "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

  That NppExec is really nice; I was able to get it to color lines and enable clicking on them to jump to the line in the file:

  http://oi47.tinypic.com/2yn2c01.jpg
  http://oi46.tinypic.com/2ibm0px.jpg

  Also if anyone uses my batch file with NppExec, take out the last line with the pause.

  @Morsker: Go I heartily recommend installing NppExec for this. It shows you the results in a pane inside NotePad++ instead of a cmd window.

  Here's an NppExec script that works using Morsker's findglobals.bat

  NPP_SAVE
  CD $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
  c:\path\to\findglobals.bat $(FILE_NAME)

  Something similar works with Notepad++.

  1. I renamed the file FindGlobals.lua and put it in the WoW Interface\ folder

  2. I made FindGlobals.bat in the same folder:

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  @echo off @set LUAC="C:\Program Files\lua-wow\luac-wow.exe" @set LUA="C:\Program Files\lua-wow\lua-wow.exe" @set FINDGLOBALS="C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\FindGlobals.lua" %LUAC% -p -l %1 | %LUA% %FINDGLOBALS% %1 pause

  3. Press F5 for "Run" and give it this:

  "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\FindGlobals.bat" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
  

  And the Run interface lets you save a keybind to it.

  I've got this working in WoW-SciTE to print out in the output window. First I put Cogwheel's WoW Lua interpreter and globals.lua into a folder named lua-wow on my C drive. Then in that folder I created a run.bat file with this in it.
  

  @C:\lua-wow\luac-wow.exe -l %1 | C:\lua-wow\lua-wow.exe C:\lua-wow\globals.lua %1
  

  
  Then in SciTE. I opened lua.properties and added this line
  

  command.build.*.lua=C:\lua-wow\run.bat "$(FileNameExt)"
  

  Now in SciTE. I can hit F7 and quickly see what's global in the output window.

  Thanks for the great tool mikk!
