grammer rules: keywords in middle of identifiers

[jamesbaker]

I'm trying to make a file format for Ruby, cribbing off of the C/C++ definition. See the attached keyword.png for my problem: keywords are recognized not as words but as substrings. This happens regardless of the order of the Grammar rules.

As far as I can tell, this does NOT happen for the factory-defined file types - but I can't see any difference in how I'm defining my list of keywords or my identifier regex.

I played around with making every keyword in my list a regex, but that is obviously not the intent of this list interface.

Help?

Also: maybe bcpkg should be added to the list of allowed file attachments.

Without seeing your grammar list, I'd guess you need to add an identifier definition. The regular expression [_a-z]\w* works for most languages. This item should come after your keyword item(s).

I of course had that.

I started over by cloning C++ and editing from there, and it worked as expected. Diffing the two, I noticed that the IsRegExp flag was somehow turned off on my Identifier grammar item in my first attempt.

So, not far off.

Thanks - where should I send my Ruby bcpkg when it's finished? There's no obvious submission on your file formats page.

Did you ever receive the Ruby bcpkg? Is it avalaible?
(I found no ruby in http://www.scootersoftware.com/downl...rtid=234439106 )
