Sublime Text 3 - custom syntax highlighting

Extensibility Sublime Text knows no bounds. For those who have few standard functions, on Habré they already talked about how to create a snippet , how to write a simple plug-in , how to write a complex plug-in, and much more. I couldn’t really find anything about manually adjusting syntax highlighting: for someone it’s too obvious, someone just doesn’t need it, but someone will surely come in handy.

So, the task: having any abstract access logs in wonder-net:

Highlight:
Date-time - in purple italics;
Card number - in yellow italics, if not in the black list or in red, if not;
ip-address - dark green, if not in the black list or red, if otherwise;
scod = xx - dark green if 00 or red if otherwise.

In our color scheme, we need to add styles with which we are going to highlight the text. As I understand it, all color schemes are neatly collected in the file c: \ Program Files \ Sublime Text 3 \ Packages \ Color Scheme - Default.sublime-package.

The file is a zip archive without compression. Unpack, select your favorite scheme (by default Monokai.tmTheme) and copy it to ... (run Sublime Text: Preferences menu - Browse Packages) User folder.

Open the freshly copied Monokai.tmTheme for editing. At the bottom, before the closing, add style blocks. A style can contain three parameters: background, foreground and fontStyle. fontStyle in turn is bold , italic and underline .

purple italics will look like this:

<dict><key>scope</key><string>violet</string><!-- По этому имени будем обращаться к стилю --><key>settings</key><dict><key>foreground</key><string>#EE82EE</string><key>fontStyle</key><string>italic</string></dict></dict>

bold yellow (LJ):

<dict><key>scope</key><string>yellow</string><key>settings</key><dict><key>foreground</key><string>#FFD700</string><key>fontStyle</key><string>bold</string></dict></dict>

dark green:

<dict><key>scope</key><string>green</string><key>settings</key><dict><key>foreground</key><string>#006400</string></dict></dict>

red:

<dict><key>scope</key><string>red</string><key>settings</key><dict><key>foreground</key><string>#FF0000</string></dict></dict>

2. In the same User folder, create the syntax file: wonderLog.tmLanguage with the contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><plistversion="1.0"><dict><key>patterns</key><array><dict><key>name</key><string>red</string><!-- Имя стиля --><key>match</key><string>\b(?i)(?:5168742**0521893|414943**01562173|4149497**5750155)\b</string><!-- Регулярное выражение к-рое надо выделить (номера из черного списка) --></dict><dict><key>name</key><string>red</string><key>match</key><string>\b(?i)(?:134\.249\.51\.251|82\.145\.208\.174)\b</string><!-- ip из черного списка (точки экранируем) --></dict><dict><key>name</key><string>green</string><key>match</key><string>\b(?i)scod=00\b</string><!-- scod=00 --></dict><dict><key>name</key><string>red</string><key>match</key><string>\b(?i)scod=\d+\b</string><!-- scod!=00 --></dict><dict><key>name</key><string>green</string><key>match</key><string>\b\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b</string><!-- остальные ip (конечно, надо не так, но...) --></dict><dict><key>name</key><string>yellow</string><key>match</key><string>\b\d{16}\b</string><!-- остальные номера --></dict><dict><key>name</key><string>violet</string><key>match</key><string>\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}\s\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}</string><!-- дата, время --></dict></array><key>name</key><string>wonderLog</string><key>scopeName</key><string>wonderLog</string><key>fileTypes</key><array><string>log</string><!-- К этому расширению файла будет автоматически применяться данный синтаксис --></array></dict></plist>

The example shows that if several regular expressions pretend to paint the color differently, then the priority will be the one described above (first).

We save everything.

Select a custom color scheme: Preferences - Color Scheme - User - Monokai.

We open our miracle log (if the file extension does not match the template, do View - Syntax - wonderLog) and enjoy the result:
