Syntax colour for ST API

#41

[quote=“quodlibet”]

If you still haven’t worked this out, you need to escape the “less than” sign. E.g., (?<=\W) should read (?<=\W)

Thanks Alex. I caught that :wink:

(Just an update). I believe I’ve finally got this sussed with the code below, placed before ‘meta.function-call.python’ :smiley:

What I wanted to do was scope specific method-names, but only if they are preceded by a dot. ‘meta.function-call’ kept interfering, grabbing any remaining text on the line and, therefore, applying one colour. My previous attempt was working, but the brackets and arguments (following my named-methods) remained as ‘source.python’.

My code captures general methods, but only if preceded by a dot. It colours the method-name, ignoring any preceding text. It also works with nested function/method calls. [Part of the solution is to name the method’s arguments ‘meta.method.call.arguments.python’, but do nothing with them - but perhaps I can colour these as well.]

I copied this code and substituted all the ST-API method calls, and also gave a different name to the brackets ( ) - so now I can colour-code all bracket pairs, whe’hay :smiley:

I believe I should be able to modify ‘meta.function-call’ with code similar to this, so that it won’t misbehave at all.
