[Help-nano] C language color syntax highlighting

[Geremy F.]

Hello!

I just discovered nano today.  My nano is the following version:

GNU nano version 1.2.2 (compiled 22:34:11, Sep  5 2003)
Email: address@hidden    Web: http://www.nano-editor.org/
Compiled options: --enable-extra --enable-color --enable-multibuffer 
--enable-nanorc

Anyway, I have downloaded the nanorc.sample file and uncommented the C color 
syntax highlighting sections.

All of the 'color' statements work EXCEPT for the following (cut'n'paste 
from the nanorc.sample file):
color red "\<[A-Z_]{2,}\>"
color green "\<(float|char|int|void|static|const|struct)\>"
color brightyellow "\<(if|while|do|else|case|switch)\>"

I have switched around the colors to make sure that all the colors can be 
displayed on my terminal setup.

If I change the second and third line to:
color green "(float|char|int|void|static|const|struct)"
color brightyellow "(if|while|do|else|case|switch)"

It works somewhat, but if those character strings are present inside a 
larger word they will be highlighted, which is obviously not desired 
behavior.

Basically I need to fix the two regexp expression to find the C keywords, 
and I need a better expression to find operator symbols (+,-,=,&,%,!,|,~,.) 
etc.

Thanks!

I'd
