UDL for .ini and .cfg files

Helix751

Hi. I’m tryng to color INI keys, those that start each line, before the “=” char.

[section1]
key1=value1 or whatever
key2=value2 or whatever
[section2]
key3=value3 or whatever
key4=value4 or whatever

In this example I’d like to color key1, key2, key3 and key4.

Its’s easy to color the “=” operator and the [section]s with delimiters, but I cant find how to color “from the beginning of a line to an = char”.

BTW: The built-in “INI file” language formats the keys accordingly, but I’d like to have more control over how values are presented with a UDL.

Thanks in advance.

@Helix751 ,

UDL does not have that ability.

If you want more control, you could try to use the EnhanceAnyLexer plugin with either your UDL or with the built-in INI lexer , which allows you to change the foreground color of text in a specific lexer based on regular expressions.
