Auto-syntax detection

[lubysj]

Hi

I have never used Sublime before but it may depend if go into it. I am particularly looking if it can be configured through plugins or other means to auto-select syntax highlighting based on the very first line of just opened file. I am working with old UNIX style files that is they don’t have extensions in the file name but the extension is defined in the file.

Thanks

yes, there is native support in syntax definitions for specifying a regex pattern to match against the first line to determine which syntax to use.
