Highlighting keywords with no trailing space

Post by usbobbie »

I've seen many posts about keywords but can't seem to find one dealing with keywords that don't have a trailing space.

I'm setting up a syn file for RPG. Since the operand column is fixed at 5 columns, the parameter following it is bumped up against it. Therefore, the IFEQ, and OREQ commands work fine, but the ANDEQ doesn't.

I can't use KeyWordLength = 5 either since I can't force a blank after the keywords in the syn file. Besides other keywords are of different lengths too. Can I have multiple syn files pointing to one file type *.rpg?

Example:

PARM1 IFEQ PARM4
PARM2 OREQ PARM4
PARM3 ANDEQPARM4

This happens in several other places too since many parameters in RPG are right next to eachother with no spaces. Is there a way to highlight this correctly? Thanks...

Geez not even one reply in almost three months. Doesn't anyone at Helios monitor these forums? I would have expected to at least see something from them if this is simply not possible. :shock: :? :( :o
