vim - Vim Syntax file: defining keywords to ignore whitespace

Question

I would like to create a vim syntax file where either:

1. White space is included in keywords.
2. White space is ignored in keywords.

Either would work for my purpose, which is to create a JMP scripting language (JSL) syntax file. In JMP, whitespace is ignored in keywords, so New Column("Col1") and NewColumn(Col1`) are identical. The former format, with the space, is the standard.

Answer 1

您可以syntax match使用正则表达式来包含可选的空格：

:syntax match GROUPNAME /\<New\s*Column\>/

请注意，这与 不完全相同，syntax keyword因为keyword具有更高的优先级。在实践中，它很少重要。
