Lately I started using Sublime Text 2 for writing AmxModX plugins, and I thought about changing PAWN highlighting Ovidius created a bit. But here is a problem with my regex pattern.
When i search with regular expression this key:

([:\w]+)\((.*\))(?!(\s*\{))

I get this result:

(text with white border is what regex found).
Now, that's all okay, i want that(I am trying to find function calls), but when i type that regular expression into .tmLanugage file(the file that mostly highlights stuff) like this:

It also highlights the function header, or NewFunction(param, otherparam) as you saw in previous picture.
Is that something related to ST2 or is that just my regex pattern? If my regex pattern is wrong, i would like some help with correcting it.

You have to ensure that there is no "{" before ")". Also, the "{" could be in a new line (as in your example).

Why would there ever be "{" before ")"? And about that other stuff, I'm really bad at making regular expressions. That one I got is just a pattern from a site I got on while i was searching for a solution, with a little bit of my tweaking, but i can't get it to work. I would really appreciate some help.

If you're running it in single line mode you can't check for trailing "{", instead you'll have to check for prefixes like "public" with negative lookbehind.

But what if it is just a normal function? Like this one:

PHP Code:

funcSomething(param)
{
       server_print("Param: %d", param);
} 


Because of this, i can't check for prefixes. I guess i will have to live with all functions(headers and function calls) being highlighted. Anyway, thank you guys for replies.

He can add "(?:\n)*" to the pattern.

Because is the only why you can know if it's a funcion call or definition.
