Subject: Trying to font-lock between parenthesis
Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2008 01:29:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <89904334-05E8-4E99-B948-3A1B9EBCDC63@42tools.com> (raw)
Hi,
I'm trying to do a major mode for MPC(*) files. Before doing anything
complicated I want MPC files nicely colorised. An MPC file may say
something like:
project(optional name) {
includes += ${PROJECT_ROOT}/src
}
I want "optional name" coloured differently than the other elements.
I've tried this:
("\\(\(.*\)\\)" 1 font-lock-constant-face t)
But the regexp is wrong as the enclosing parentheses are including in
the colouring to. What regexp will let me choose the text between the
parenthesis but not the parentheses themselves?
Thanks a lot in advance,
jules
