Re: Textpad not recognizing ‘-‘ in identifier

[Bob Deskin]

I use TextPad and the powerhouse.syn file. I don't think it's the hyphen. 
Rather I think it's looking at each token that's separated by an operator 
or special character. For example, I entered

file test-this primary

and test-this is not coloured. Whereas if I enter

file test-file primary

-file is coloured blue presumably because the word/token "file" is in the 
list of syntax.

Textpad not recognizing ‘-‘ in identifier



Hi all:
 
I have allowed '-' to be a valid character in an identifier in the PDL.

However, Textpad does not  recognize this. Instead 
it recognize '-' as an operator.
 
In the following example '-MASTER' is colored blue where as MANUAL 
is colored black.

File MANUAL-MASTER designer alias MASTER_DES
 
Has anyone managed with modification to PowerHouse.Syn to get
Textpad to recognize '-'  as both an arithmetic operator and as an 
embedded 
character in an identifier.
 
Thanks,
Peter Bateman
