Does anyone have parsing rules for the Notepad++ Function List plugin for Ruby and Rake

Question

I'me using Notepad++ for editing rake files and I'd like to be able to use the function list plugin.

I've been unable to find any parsing rules on line, and the "Language Parsing Rules" dialog is not very clearly documented.

I'm parsing methods into the list with the following, but would like to also display tasks.

Function Begin:  [ \t]*def[ \t]+
Function List Name: [a-zA-Z0-9_\.]*

This isn't very clean, and won't capture functions that end with ? or !, but it is a start.

My task rule, which isn't working is:

Function Begin: [ \t]*task[ \t]+
Function List Name: :[a-zA-Z0-9_\.]*
Function End: [ \t]+do

Any suggestions most welcome.

thanks

Hi, maybe you can use below setting. You can add below setting in your FunctionListRules.xml file. Hope it can be helpful.
