Thanks! I've been trying TextMate and I like it a lot so far.One question - I've noticed that TextMate doesn't seem to recognize all the different types of comments in stata - it gets comments that are enclosed in /* .. */ just fine, as well as lines that start with *, but it doesn't properly color comments that start with "//". Also, it thinks that any time there is an "*" that it's a comment, when sometimes it's just a multiplication sign (it should only be considered a comment if it's at the beginning of the line). Is there a way to edit the Stata bundle so that it properly recognizes comments?

TextMate allows for manual-code folding -- at the moment, we haven't incorporated any automatic folding into the Stata/Mata mode (e.g., automatically-defined folding for if/then/else blocks, function and class defs, loops, etc.). However, feel free to suggest enhancements (the more specific the suggestion is, the better) or pull requests! -- Phil P.S. You want to be using the TextMate 2.0 alpha version, available for download from http://macromates.com. Although labeled "alpha", 2.0 is plenty stable for real work (I've been using it for ~6-8 hrs/day for the last year), and has considerably more features and polish than 1.5. Most importantly, however, we no longer support the Stata bundle for 1.5. * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/resources/statalist-faq/ * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
