Hey, thanks for the quick response. Here is an example for the class-maps, see below. I’d like to fold them in a similar manner to how you folded the interfaces. I just made a copy of the interface code and changed the keywords to “class-maps”

class-map match-any DSCP_Trusted_Hosts
description Marking Class for Hosts with Trusted Markings
match access-group name DSCP_Trusted_Hosts

Sam,

Can you post more information about your error. Does it say on what line of what file the error occurred? What do you mean by “your interface line”?

I have a large number of router configs that have class maps. I tried to copy your interface line to fold the class-maps. I keep getting an E475 error “invalid argument” Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thank you

Not verse with systems, I did a small test.
Removed javascript from C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim72\syntax
And Java’s code highlight stopped working.
Then again when I copied the file back, Javascript highlight started working.

This ensures that Gvim is referring this path only.
Still not working.

VP,

You normally put your own config-files in your own path, not in the system path (although that should work as well). Have you tried putting them in your user-directory (http://agateau.com/2007/10/04/note-to-self-path-to-vim-files-on-windows/ might help in finding it).

Wondering why its not working for me?

I tried other syntax highlights like Javascript, and they are working.

I have created ciscoconfig.vim at this path –> C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim72\syntax

Nothing happens when give command :set ft=ciscoconfig.

Please help

I work on a syntax highlighter for blog posts, same thing –> none found on Internet yet. Took a look in your code for the IP address Regex. Thanks!

The syntax file should work for both vim and gvim, although I only tested it in gvim.

You should have received an email to arrange for the config file.

Niobos,

I will send you a piece of a config file with class/policy maps.
Better… if you want I can sent you a whole config and that way you (and I :)) can color the whole cisco config.

I was about the learn how to do syntax highlighting in vim, because lots of colleagues wanted such syntax highlighting.

Sent me your email at my email address please..

That way we can communicate better.

P.S. the “zR” didn’t help….. but is this syntax file for vim or gvim?… I understand that there is a slight difference between a syntax file for the two.
