my company is using a propitiatory language. there are 4 kind of different kind of strings that can be defined.
i"mystring" x"mystring" b"mystring" "mystring" i'm writing a syntax file and want to be able to highlight strings in a regular manner except when they start with a letter, i.e. i want everything that is quoted to be highlighted as a regular string but i want the letters i,x and b that stand in front of the quotation marks to be highlighted with a different color. right now i have the following code for the strings: syn region myRegularString start=/"/ end=/"/ syn region myByteString start=/b"/ end=/"/ syn region myHexString start=/x"/ end=/"/ syn region myOtherString start=/i"/ end=/"/ hi def link myRegularString myString hi def link myByteString myString hi def link myHexString myString hi def link myOtherString myString hi def link myString string any ideas on how to improve it to achieve the goal stated above is appreciated. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
