Hello! Well Met! And a possible bug. :-)

2006-09-08 Thread Mark Manning
I believe I may have found an obscure bug. It is not a harmful bug. It does not make VIM crash or do weird things. (Well, sort-of.) :-) Here is how to reproduce it: First you have to have a lot of open and close braces (}). They do not have to be on the same line and in fact, this

Q: I'm working on the basic.vim file

2006-09-10 Thread Mark Manning
I started using FreeBasic which uses the "*.bas" ending and was wondering if: 1. Anyone is interested in me sending in the updated basic.vim file. 2. If this is the right mailing group to send it to. Thanks! Mark

The c.vim file

2006-09-10 Thread Mark Manning
In the syntax stuff, the c.vim file should be changed to have the following: Old: syn regioncStringstart=+"+ skip=+\|\\"+ end=+"+ contains=cSpecial New syn regioncStringstart=+"+ skip=+\|\\\"\|'+ end=+"+ contains=cSpecial syn regioncStringstart=+

Sorry

I'm working in FreeBasic and some C and some Perl. This is one of the fixes in the basic.vim thing I'm doing and I saw the same thing in the c.vim file and thought they would give the same incorrect highlighting. I ran into this (for C) while working at NASA and thought I'd fix it, but as you

Well....

2006-09-10 Thread Mark Manning
That is very strange. In 7.0.17 the "exit" command is still highlighted as a string. If I put in an additional single quote then it re-highlights as a function. test.pl print "This's a test'"; exit( 0 ); Look correct but the test.pl print "This's a test"; exit( 0 ); Does not.

Ok - stop the presses!

Ok, after downloading the current items on the web page at vim.org both C and Perl are working ok (in both Windows and Cygwin/Linux). Basic still has the problems from before. Thanks to everyone for speaking up. :-) To Tony: Thanks for the diff command. I'll see about posting it but not

New question

2006-09-10 Thread Mark Manning
Hey, I hate to keep barging in here asking questions and such but here is a new one. :-) In the new basic.vim file I am having a problem. In FreeBasic you can use both single as well as double quotes to enclose a string. Unfortunately, you can also have comments which start with a single q

Possible addition to the c.vim and perl.vim syntax files

I saw in the c.vim that there was an error statement for octal numbers. There isn't one for hex numbers so I made one really quickly. If you want, just put it into the c.vim file. :-) The test: syn regioncHexErrorstart="0x\x*[g-zG-Z]" end="\W" The highlight command: hi link c

Binary, Octal, Decimal, Hex!

2006-09-10 Thread Mark Manning
It is fairly easy to check for inconsistencies in Binary, Octal, and Hex because they have a fixed format. Decimal is not as easy due to there being integers, reals, and general format numbers (ie: #e+/-#) which are all grouped into the "Decimal" category. I'll think about it though. Maybe I
