Re: file types for syntax highlighting

Thanks for the help. In .pblangspec files, can you use
regular expressions to match parts of code? I was going
to cheat and change both '' and "" to a string (that's
more correct anyway) and then map any identifier starting
with a '$' to a character just to get a different syntax
highlighting.

The obvious didn't seem to work:

String = (("\"", "\""), ("'", "'"));
Character = ("$[A-Za-z0-9_]+");

or

Character = (("$", "\b"));

What's the correct syntax, or how else might I achieve
syntax highlighting of php variables starting with '$' ?

This has been discussed many times before, so you can search the archives for more info. The basic idea is that you create .pbfilespec files and put them in ~/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Specifications". Look in "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DevToolsCore.framework/Resources/ Built-in file types.pbfilespec" for what they should look like. Make your new specs inherit from the existing php and makefile specs.


Also are there any plugins for additional syntax
highlighting? I'd like to visually differentiate
variables from constants and method names.

It is possible to customize the syntax highlighting, but not to this level. You can look at some .pblangspec files to see some of what's doable.
