Is there a way to remove the word 'function'

Read only the topic "Searching" on side:
http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/ScintillaDoc.html#Searching

I can suggest to play with Find dialog of Notepad to get a feeling how to work with Scintilla Regular Expressions. Function List works similar.

Hello,

display a code snipped and the rules exactly.

Basically everthing is the same as the example given in the Help for the Function List pluggin. I am using it for a custom pascal language, here is my code:

Function List Parsing Rule
--------------------------
Function Begin : [ \t]*function[ \t]+
Function List name : [a-zA-Z0-9_]+
Function End : \([a-zA-Z0-9_, \t]+\)
Seperator between : {I have nothing specified here}
Body Begin \<begin\>
Body End \<end\>

Code snippet:
--------------
Function CopyThoseFiles(): boolean;
var
  var1 : integer;
begin
  do something...
end;
// *********
Function CopyMoreFiles(): boolean;
var
  var1 : integer;
begin
  do something...
end;

These functions display in the list like this:
function CopyThoseFiles(
function CopyMoreFiles(

Hello,

You have to specify the complete expected line. BEGIN and NAME is ok, but use for END following expression:

\([a-zA-Z0-9_, \t]*\).*

This I changed ---^--^

I exchanged the + with * because of: You don't expect in any case content within the braces.
I add the .* because you have additional information after the braces.

Thanks, that works if no params passed to my functions, but still the same problem for all the functions with params passed, like this:

function DoSomething(param1 : string): boolean;
begin
  do something
end;

Just let think about it together ;). Why it couldn't work? Maybe because of the colon?
Yes it is! You can do following:

Use this expression and extend it everytime if one function isn't visible:
\([a-zA-Z0-9_, \t:]*\).*
-----------------^

Or use this one and every function is visible in future:
\(.*\):.*

For better recognition I added the colon between closing brace and the .* expression.

Thank you again. Nearly working! I am now using
\(.*\):.*
but it displays all functions except when there is a gap between the function name and the bracket (permitted by the compiler so no error when I declare things sometimes this way), eg

function abc (param1 : string): boolean;
------------^-----

If you have possible gaps in your function declaration use this expression [ \t]* for correct recognition on possible positions. E.g.:

[ \t]*\(.*\)[ \t]*:.*

Thank you once again Jens. To make it easier, is there a "simple" webpage somewhere that explains this parsing syntax, the only one I have seen was extremely long...
