Except it will also catch things like this: if (whatever) something(); which you almost certainly don't want, and why I didn't suggest this kind of approach. Yes, we can change it to this: autocmd BufEnter *.c match Grp_semi /if\s*([^)]\+)\s*;/ highlight Grp_semi guibg=red
Which will then not work on something like this: if ((ch=getchar())==EOF) ; (or anything with nested parentheses). Ben. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
