Thanks, but that didn't work. I'm trying to do this in SAS programs, so that comma9. or percent5. would be highlighted (I'd be happy with just the comma or percent part of the format).

I apologize if this has been covered, but I couldn't find it anywhere. How can I get any string beginning with the same text (comma, percent, etc.) to be highlighted? Thanks for your help.

Is there a way to highlight only the first 'n' number of characters using the '**' syntax? For example, I might have data=test or data=prog1 and I only want the 'data=' to be highlighted.
