Excellent suggestion, Rich.
I'm playing around with various of our mutual robot friend's proposals.
One of them looks promising:
<key>Function Pattern</key>
<string>\b(?:void|[\w<>\[\]]+)\s+(\w+)\s*\([^)]*\)\s*(?=\{|\=>)</string>
But the syntax checker complains about the "<" in
[\w<>\[\]]
Unencoded entity found; “<” needs to be encoded as “<”
Fair enough. If I change the pattern to this:
<key>Function Pattern</key>
<string>\b(?:void|[\w<>\[\]]+)\s+(\w+)\s*\([^)]*\)\s*(?=\{|\=>)</string>
the syntax checker doesn't complain but BBEdit's Function Navigator doesn't
navigate functions (after a BBEdit restart, of course).
Patience, patience, . . .
Any brave soul interested in sculpting the expression that Rich shared?
Thanks.
Alfredo
