Help with syntax highlighting?

Steven Isaac · Post by **Steven Isaac** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 2:27 am

In a language syntax file (TACL) file defined with C=1 and
BracketChars=//\\|| then if FUP is defined as one of the Keywords:
/FUP / is highlighted properly while /FUP/ is not it seems that the closing / is regarded as part of the word.

Tried to place / as part of OperatorChars still did not work i.e. /FUP / is highlighted ok /FUP/ is not.
However highlighting works ok with \ and |.

Can any one help?

I recommend editing your syntax file as below:

BracketChars=[]()|
OperatorChars = &,;:.'<>+-*=\/@

I hope this helps.

Stephen,
Thanks a million â€“ that got me thinking, it obviously works for you. So tried this out with a c file /int/ and that works. To cut the story short the problem was that I had â€œI/Oâ€� as a keyword I removed it and behold all works well now.
Again thanks been trying to fix this for a long time.
