Re: [Gretl-devel] modeltab clear -> no error

Yes, that's what the help for modeltab says.
But using the old "clear" command does not result in an
error message.
It should give an error, that's about to be fixed in CVS.
Furthermore "free" is not highlighted, but
"clear" is within the
"modeltab" command

This is a limitation of the "lang" file we're using with gtksourceview.
The word "clear" is being highlighted not because it's a valid
accompaniment to modeltab, but because it's a gretl command in its own
right. We need a smarter regular expression for this sort of context, to
avoid "false positives". (Note that it's OK for a gretl command word to
follow another word in some contexts, such as "catch", "end" and
"name
<-".)
I just had a quick try at constructing a better regexp, but it made a
worse mess than the status quo -- so that's a project for another day!
