[Ctags] Use regex and --c-types=f option

[Florentin I. <flo...@ya...>]

Hello list,

Please help me to understand what am I doing wrong in follwing cases:

1. For a file like this example->
cat -n  a.cmd
 1	set a=1 & goto :DONE
 2	:OK
 3	set /F   b=%a%
 4
 5	set b=blah
 6
 7	   set c=3
 8
 9	:DONE
10	goto :OK

using  ctags with following syntax,  will not use the given regex
although tested with sed identifies correct the variable names:

ctags --langmap=sh:.cmd  \
--regex-sh='/.*[Ss][Ee][Tt][ \t]+(\/[A-Za-z0-9_][ \t]+)?([A-Za-z0-9_]+)=/$2/v,var/i'

The program will work correct on first option(sh), that is "goto"
will be labeled but, not the variables and I can't identify what am
doing wrong.


2. In vim6, in $VIM/doc, file usr_29.txt, says that using this option :

ctags --c-types=f -f functions *.c

that you can use command ":vsplit functions" to display a list of
functions but it does not work for me( neither does  --c++-types=f )
Did anybody tested succesfully these options please ?

Thank you for your participation,
Florentin.

darren)I presume you are asking how to represent your Perl regex as a Posix
darren)regex in the ctags --regex option. If so:
darren)
darren)    '--regex-sh=/set[ \t]+(\/[A-Za-z0-9_][ \t]+)?([A-Za-z0-9_]+)=/$2/v,var/i'
