Hello:
How can set syntax highlighting for .profile on the mac os 10.7, as I
would for .bashrc or .bash_profile?
thanks
I use:
'au BufRead,BufNewFile {*.cfg,*.profile,*.log} set ft=syslog'
in my vimrc. syslog.vim is a syntax plugin available from the scripts
page on: <www.vim.org>
Thanks for the replies. I have followed both suggestions, and
neither worked, even as I could see ft change to syslog or bash.
But I noted that from /etc/bashrc ft is set to 'sh' with syntax
highlight operating, so :
au BufRead,BufNewFile {*.cfg,*.profile,*.log} set ft=sh
Gives me syntax highlighting
Thanks again
cheers
syn on
should have enabled syntax highlighting for .profile (with ft == sh).
Does this not work?
Yes, as I have indicated above, autocommand with ft=sh gives me
syntax highlighting.
Since you indicated .bashrc, etc; I'm guessing that you're using bash
for your .profile, so you should also put
let g:is_bash= 1
That's a good tip, thanks, but if I change
au BufRead,BufNewFile {*.cfg,*.profile,*.log} set ft=sh
" where syntax higlighting works
" to
au BufRead,BufNewFile {*.cfg,*.profile,*.log} set ft=bash
I now _do not_ have highlighting
regardless of the order in which
let g:is_bash= 1
comes in respect to the autocommand.
So..... setting ft to 'sh' works, and that works for me.
Why setting ft to 'bash' does not work is a mystery to this
eternal vim noob, but what I have now is sufficient.
Its because bash isn't a distribution-supported filetype; sh is.
Putting "let g:is_bash=1" into your .vimrc tells syntax/sh.vim to do
bash-style syntax highlighting.
Your .profile should be getting syntax highlighting without needing your
au BufRead,BufNewFile ...etc... ; without the g:is_bash=1, though, it'll
be getting Bourne style highlighting rather than bash-style syntax
highlighting.
So,
without the BufRead,BufNewFile autocmd,
and with g:is_bash=1 in your .vimrc,
does
vim .profile
:syn on
give you syntax highlighting? Because it should...

C Campbell
