Hi!

I'm creating a simple wordfile section for CSS files. I want the function list to show any line that starts with a "." AND any lines that are not blank and DO NOT contain a colon.

I got the "." part, using
/Function String = "%.*"

but can't figure out the DOES NOT have a ":" part . Any ideas appreciated.

Thanx,
Nathan

Thanks for the quick response.

I modified my codes to this:
/Function String = "%.*"
/Function String 1 = "%[~:{}]+$"

I took the period out of the 2nd string since the lines I want are those that start with a period - w/or w/out colons and those without colons - whether they start with a period or not. I added the curly brackets to the NOT list.

This mostly works except for 2 things that show in the Function List that I DO NOT want:
If the line is blank, it shows in the Function list. This would need a test for at least one char on the line
If the line is a comment - noted by /* */ as Block Comment tags - it shows

To resolve item 2, I think a test to see that the first char on the line is ALPHA like [a-zA-Z] would work. My problem is that I'm not sure how to incorporate this test AND a test for at least one non blank in the above expressions.

Thanks,
Nathan

For what it's worth, here is my (admittedly quite complex) function string for CSS files. It works on any css file I come across.

No problem, Nathan.

Just don't think that I understand this beast. I spent one evening coming up with it a couple of month ago and I'm happy that he has kept on working since then. Should it ever need a change, I'm afraid I would have to start from scratch
