I only want this to work ttk at the start. I know that ^ means the
start but I am not sure how to add that (I did try just adding it) to
make the regex start with ttk.
Just put it at the beginning:
^ttk...
just as you would use the dollar-sign at the end to anchor something
to the end of the line:
regexp$
-tim
Similarly, to allow it as long as it is the first non-whitespace
characters, add zero or more whitespace between ^ and ttk :
^\s*ttk...
See :help pattern.txt for more info on Vim regular expressions (and
dont forget the .txt extension, or you'll be brought to a formal syntax
definition instead of to the table of contents of the helpfile).
Note that $^ in the middle of a pattern usually matches dollar followed
by caret, not a linebreak. ( \n matches a linebreak IIUC; but in
substitute you must use :s/\n/\r/ to replace a linebreak by itself.)
Thanks Tony and welcome back. : )
I figured out that ttk:: can occur after a left [ as in [ttk:: and I
am looking at the others as well.
Is there a way to do an or so that I can put ttk in {} [] and it be
colored or is there a better way like a region?
