Mark Keywords within a String terminal [message #717742]

Hi there,

I was wondering if it is possible to mark words within a String, without completely rewriting my grammar.

Example:

sql:="SELECT ''Name'' FROM Person WHERE ''Reference'' IS NOT NULL";

These are very common assignments in my DSL. the double-singlequotes are replaced according to the current database escape char.
All my Strings are blue, but for better readability I'd like to mark everything between '' in a different color.

I'm doing something similar for EObjects using ISemanticHighlightingCalculator, but is it also possible for terminals?

Thanks for input!
Timo

Hi,

there is no reason, not to do that via semantic highlighting as well. If you want to highlight the whole string differently, it is quite simple, if you want to highlight certain sections only, you have to parse the string yourself in order to calculate the regions.
