[Log snip]
[30066] (11/07 21:13:44.780):{0x1D60} Total Msgs Pending 39

In the Syn log i have this

[Syntax]
KeyWordLength = 6
BracketChars = {[()]}

[Keywords 3]
0x8004010f
0x80004005
Total Msgs

The TextPad syntax processer uses the space as a delimiter. It will only work on complete words. Can you replace the space with something like "_" ?. That would be acceptable to the syntax processor.

i dont fully understand your responce, as i have tried the following

Total Msgs
Total_Msgs
Total"_"Msgs
"Total_Msgs"

Adding Total_Msgs to your list of Keywords 3 should work, but remember that when you edit the syntax definition file you must disable and then re-enable it for the document class, before it will operate with the new additions.

In your last posting you wrote:

That was your original problem, and as noted, they will not highlight. Again, use the underscore "_" character to replace the spaces where you can.

It is not enough to add the "_" to the words in your list of keywords. The source text that you are reading must have the "_" also. The syntax file does not use the "_" as a wildcard for spaces, it is looking for the actual "_" character.

You can find it here following information
Edit the syn file,Choose a diffrent syn file as the text class, Apply ok. Change the syn file back to the one i want, Close and open textpad, drag and drop a log file in single words highlight, but ones with spaces wont .
