I am a grep newbie (never really needed it, i know, i am missing out on all the fun ...), and I am trying to create a C# (mono) CLM module. It all works fine, but I really want function name detection and folding...

So i am trying to come up with a pattern that finds things like:

   public override string ToString()

   private virtual void Whatever(string abc)

   or

   public MyConstructor()


I have a couple of questions:

a) I could not find anything in the docs about how to best test a named subpattern. i know how to test an unnamed numbered pattern, but to make sure the P<function_name> pattern works, i would really like to test it...

b) i know how to match the function line etc, but as my terminating char for the Name is the opening paranthesis, what i want to do is: find beginning of line, search for opening paranthesis, and now create a subpattern by going backwards and match an identifier name... How do i do that? Is that even possible?

c) If i don't use the CDATA trick, i need to html encode all special chars inside the string? or just open/close <> ?

Oh, anyone else found documentation about this, beside the very brief part of the manual (i downloaded the SDK, to my suprise there is nothing on CLMs in there). And yes, i looked through Seth's excellent tutorial.
