Thanks. </div><div> </div> <div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; "> <div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; "> <hr size="1"> From: Hans-J�rg Bibiko <bibiko@eva.mpg.de> To: John Relosa <john.relosa@yahoo.com>; TextMate users <textmate@lists.macromates.com> Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2011 9:50 AM Subject: Re: [TxMt] Re: Coloring for a function call On 29 Dec 2011, at 18:18, John Relosa wrote: > What I was hoping to have is have the arbitrary name of the function "xyz_any_function_name" have a color red when it's defined(after the word "function") or when it's called(after the word "call". > Hi, maybe try something like (AN EXAMPLE!): { name = 'meta.call.your_LG'; match = '^\s*(call)\s+(\S+)'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.control.your_LG'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.type.call.your_LG'; }; }; }, { name = 'meta.function.your_LG'; match = '^\s*(function)\s+(\S+)'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'storage.type.function.your_LG'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.function.your_LG'; }; }; }, If you assign the same name for the 2. match in 'call' and 'function' or you write (function|call) the function name will appear in the same colour. And look in other Language Grammars (C, Ruby, Python, ...) since it's a common task. Hope it helps a bit. Best, --Hans </div> </div> </div></body></html>
