Syntax highlighting for Stata in Sublime text

This is a hacked version of the textmate bundle from http://bylr.net/3/2010/10/stata-bundle-for-textmate/.

There are a few modifications

• compound quotes are supported
• digits are highlighted

Commands

There are also two commands to send code to stata from sublime text. Both work by creating a temporary file in your current working directory (otherwise references within the code that depend on relative paths would fail).

• do file (bound to ctrl-command-r)
• do selected text (bound to ctrl-shift-r) - and if there is no text selected then it will send the current line

Known issues

• the commands are mac specific (they depend on osascript)
• double forward slash doesn't work as a comment marker at the beginning of a line

Hope it might be useful.
