I'm creating a new syntax file for vim and i have some doubts:
1) how can i detect the end-of-file?
(i need match the expression "end [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*" followed of an EOF)
You can use "\%$" which matches at the EOF, so you'd have
something like
end [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*\%$
which you can read about at
:help end-of-file
2) how can i associate a syntax file to a extension?
There's a fairly detailed description under
:help new-filetype
and other details under
:help syntax-loading
The vim help is amazingly detailed...unfortunately to the degree
that it can be tough to find things in it. Fortunately, with
:helpgrep as well as using control+D after typing a bit, you can
often find some likely locations.
:help :helpgrep
:help
Just a few ideas,
-tim
