Hi NG,

I am trying to write some code for coloring some regexps, but cannot
really make it work. Since regexps seem to be working a little bit
differently (| = \\| in emacs lisp and so on), I'd like some help. I am
trying to get some items in a list colored:

<code>
        (codes-inducks 
 	 (eval-when-compile
 	   (list 
 	    '("[YZ]. [0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]" 
 	      "I .{9}" 
 	      "F .{8}" 
 	      "[DH] [0-9-]{6}" 
 	      "D 20[0-9-]{6}" 
 	      "W .{10}")))))
</code>

and I'm using these code for coloring it:

<code>
    (setq inducks-keywords
	  (list (cons keywords-inducks 'inducks-keyword-face)
                (cons codes-inducks 'inducks-code-face)))
</code>

But it's not working.

Please just point me to a major mode, that uses this. Someone refered me
to sql.el in an earlier thread, which helped me get some of the
font-lock part to work in a mode, I'm working on.

It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so
ingenious.
