[Solved] Sublime Syntax

[HurleyShanabarger]

Hello,

I am trying to create syntax higlighting accoridng to the instrucitons that are given in the documentation and it works wonderful.
The only issue that I have is matching of multiline comments like in C#.

- match: (/\*.*?\*/\n?|/\*\n|\*/\n)
  scope: comment.line

This is only matching single lines but not the complete blockquoute. Anybody able to help me out?

Thanks!

You cannot make a regex to match multiline. I don’t exactly test the following code.

- match: /\*
  meta_scope: comment.line
  push:
    - match: \*/
      pop: true

This is not exactly mentioned but you should know how to do it after reading Selected Examples section in the doc.

Thank you for your feedback, but even with you help and the documentation I am not getting it to work.

This is as far as I got:

- match: /\*(.*)
  scope: comment.line
  push:
    - match: (.*)\*/
      scope: comment.line
      pop: true

Care to help me again?

I just test my code.

%YAML 1.2
---
# See http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/syntax.html
file_extensions:
  - myTest
scope: source.example
contexts:
  main:
    - match: /\*
      meta_scope: comment.line
      push:
        - match: \*/
          pop: true

It works correctly. I am not sure what the problem that you exactly encountered is. Maybe paste full codes?

ooh, I never knew ScopeHunter could show it like that - just edited my settings and now it’s much nicer to work with! thanks @jfcherng

[HurleyShanabarger]

What package are you using to show the scope? Quite new to working in depth with ST.

The issue that I am having is, that everything seems to match (using invalid.illegal scope as it is changing background in my current theme):

[jfcherng]

It’s ScopeHunter or you may use ctrl+alt+shift+p as a ST built-in command as well. There are some settings for ScopeHunter that you can adjust if you interest.

I personally use ScopeHunter to replace the built-in scope-finding command.

{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+shift+p"], "command": "get_selection_scope" },

[jfcherng]

Ah, you are right. Something went wrong in my codes. I used meta_scope in a wrong way.

%YAML 1.2
---
# See http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/syntax.html
file_extensions:
  - myTest
scope: source.example
contexts:
  main:
    - match: /\*
      push:
        - meta_scope: comment.line
        - match: \*/
          pop: true

[HurleyShanabarger]

Thank you, that did the job!

Although that should obviously be a comment.block scope.

[jfcherng]

Sorry about that, not a syntax master

[Ghasak]

Thank you very much jfcherng, you saved my day,

this one has added by me

- match: /\*
  scope: punctuation.definition.comment.source.gcf
  push:
    - meta_scope: comment.block.source.gcf
    - match: \*/\n?
      scope: punctuation.definition.comment.source.gcf
      pop: true
