How do you get ONE alpha/num character to Syntax highlight?
I can't get it to work because it will only grab the character if it is followed by a space . . . and almost all of the (OCR'd) garbage I'm trying to clean up is entangled with other text. That's the reason I need it highlightedtsk. Here are examples; if there is a way to set this up in the syntax file without my having to artificially "prepare" the document with spaces it doesn't need just to see garbage highlighted I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks:

oooo thank you for that MG. Okay, I got it to work after some fiddling:MudGuard wrote:Why not put the # in the Operator chars and then set color Red for those?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
BracketChars =
OperatorChars ==#
PreprocStart =
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Apparently the order of that = sign is important, because at first when the string read OperatorChars =#= it would give me an error message. Heads up: That = sign has to be the first symbol in the string (or so I gather).
Thank you so much MudGard. You can't imagine how helpful this is.
