Syntax Definition Keyword Not Highlighting

[GSmith]

TextPad seems to have a problem with a keyword containing an @ character and not being able to see that keyword when it's embedded in a string. For example I have defined the keyword @DB and as long as there is a space between the keyword and the data that follows, TextPad can see it fine, but if there is no space then it cannot.

For example:
@DB 225 - @DB keyword is highlighted
@DB225 - @DB keyword is not highlighted

The number that follows my @DB keyword can be anything from 1 to 32000, so it wouldn't be practical to add every field number from my database as a keyword.

I don't seem to be the only one having this problem either, base on my forum search and the solutions suggested there do not resolve this issue.

Either a solution, work around or enhancement would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary Smith
