Hey, I hate to keep barging in here asking questions and such but here
is a new one. :-)
In the new basic.vim file I am having a problem. In FreeBasic you can
use both single as well as double quotes to enclose a string.
Unfortunately, you can also have comments which start with a single
quote. So far I can capture and highlight correctly these three conditions:
1. REM <Comment>
2. <Spaces>'<Comment>
3. :<Spaces><Comment>
What I can not get is the:
1. '<Comment>
Like so:
test.bas
rem This is a comment
' This is a comment
: ' This is a comment
' This is a comment too but it doesn't properly highlight. Instead,
it thinks it is a string.
end
Here are my commands:
" Comments
syn match bSpecial contained "\\."
syn region bComment start="^rem" end="$" contains=bSpecial,bTodo
syn region bComment start=":\s*'" end="$" contains=bSpecial,bTodo
syn region bComment start="^\s*'" end="$" contains=bSpecial,bTodo
" String and Character contstants
syn region bString start='"' end='"' contains=bSpecial,bTodo
syn region bString start="'" end="'" contains=bSpecial,bTodo
Suggestions?
