Function List does not recognise PHP function name starting with 'f'...

[hnmcc]

Description of the Issue

The built-in function list does not recognise the first character of a PHP function name starting with 'f'. I have substituted numerous other characters for the 'f', and the new name has been picked up correctly by the function list. I have tried every permutation of closing/saving the file, closing NPP, rebooting, etc; the effect remains.

@hnmcc What is different about your "formAndControls" function and your "fetchAccountData" or "fetchServiceData", etc functions?--the latter ones also start with "f" but seem to be put in function list correctly...

@hnmcc have a look here.

Sorry! Missed this email when it arrived. I can detect no difference between this function and the others whose names start with an F. They are all formed correctly and have a similar pattern of text after the function name. I know that isn't going to be much help.

The problem is caused by the parser incorrectly checking for keywords as function/method names while allowing them to start with a keyword. So it's not related to the "f" alone but to "formAndControls" starting with the keyword "for".
Follow this link to the forum for an updated parser that solves this problem.

@SuperUserNameMan no it's not (see my comment at #4845).

@MAPJe71 : yep, sorry. I opened several issues related to the "Function List" and got confused.
I was looking for an issue related to functions starting with "for" not listed correctly into the function-list.
(i'm going to try to remove my previous posts to cleanup my mess edit : well, apparently, not possible to remove the "issue references" ... )

Sorry for not seeing earlier message. I encountered this problem again in the last few days. It now seems to be limited to function names beginning "format" - farmat, fermat, firmat, and furmat are all OK, as are fold, focus, and font. But formatXXX always appears in the list as ormatXXX.

Screenshots attached.

This is using Npp 7.6.3 Portable on up-to-date Win 8 64-bit, btw.

@hnmcc
If you updated the parser with the one I linked to (twice) you might have updated the wrong functionList.xml i.e. there could be more functionList.xml files on your system.
