An "identifier" is simply a valid pascal identifier (starting with a letter, followed by some letters and numbers). A 'keyword' is context sensitive. For example when doing identifier completion the following 'function' is an identifier: i:=function| > The end result I am trying to achieve is to point it to somewhere and > then have it return the *position* of the next Identifier (not just the > next word).

I wrote an example in codebrowser.pas: function TCodeBrowserView.GetCodeHelp Mattias -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
