Syntax definition problem with .location

[redtopia]

.cfm files using ColdFusion Markup syntax fails when "variableName.location" is found in the markup. The syntax definition turns the token "location" red, and then the syntax coloring fails. In my code, I have a struct key named "location", which I reference using the "dot" syntax (structName.location) syntax.

I can't replicate the issue.

Could you post your actual code please? Thanks.

Looks like it has to be inside a <cfif block.... try:

<cfif schoolInfo.profile.location NEQ ""

...

This also turns "location" red: rStruct["profile"]["location"] = location;

I'm having a little trouble with this.
location is used in cfscript as a tag operator.

I can redefine location somewhere else to fix this but other tag operators would still be problematic.
Anyway, it's probably best not to use these as variables but it definitely should not break syntax highlighting,

I'll see what I can do.
Thanks.

I see... I tend to agree that it's bad to use keywords like that. However, sometimes its necessary, and it's definitely not fair for Adobe to claim the keyword "location"! (Just kidding) The word "location" followed by open/close parens should be a CF token (as in the cfscript equivalent to cflocation), otherwise it should be considered a local variable. Same is true with all cfscript functions, except the weird ones like "include" and "lock".

I think this should work.
Sorry for the delay.

It makes sure the tag operators aren't matched mid statement.
But let me know if you still see issues.
Thanks.

Thanks... I'll give it a try!
