How to make sublime text 3 mark syntax of lex on windows

Question

i am trying to mark lex syntax in sublime text 3

i downloaded from github package that marks the syntax of lex file and put it on

Sublime Text 3\Packages

and then i restart sublime text 3 and nothing has changed

%{

    #include <string.h>

%}

This code is fully white also after installing the package from github(the color doesn't change)

the git i cloned is- https://github.com/textmate/lex-flex.tmbundle

you should make sure the file is viewed with the right syntax in `View -> Syntax`, then close and reopen the file — linuxUser123, May 28 '19 at 20:25

As suggested here, for lexer syntax texmate syntax files can be used with SublimeText.

To mark lex syntax in sublime text 3:

clone git repository into packages/User: https://github.com/textmate/lex-flex.tmbundle
open a lexer file
set lexer syntax in View -> Syntax -> User > Lex/Flex

I dont find User in Syntax (this is for windows 10?) – Chad May 29 '19 at 07:53
your syntax might not be installed correctly, then. Can you confirm the syntax is installed: `Packages/User/lex-flex.tmbundle/Syntaxes/Lex:Flex.tmLanguage`? – linuxUser123 May 29 '19 at 07:56
i got file in this path named Lex the file name change something? – Chad May 29 '19 at 08:01
your OS might be hiding the file extension. You should name it `LexFlex.tmLanguage` – linuxUser123 May 29 '19 at 08:08
I did it and i still cant see User after i pressed Syntax – Chad May 29 '19 at 08:10
I am not on Windows so I cannot look into it any further, thouh it is claimed to work on Windows. It should appear on Syntax/User for windows as well. – linuxUser123 May 29 '19 at 08:14

Go to C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User
Clone git repository https://github.com/textmate/lex-flex.tmbundle
In Sublimetext 3 open View -> Syntax -> Lex/Flex

In step 1, AppData folder maybe hidden, so you can either copy the path from above and replace your username; or from folder > view > [tick] hidden item.

Clone git repository `https://github.com/textmate/lex-flex.tmbundle

Go to

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/textmate/lex-flex.tmbundle/master/Syntaxes/Lex%3AFlex.tmLanguage

and copy all

Create a new file named LexFlex.tmLanguage in:

and paste what you copied in it.

Save.

Now you will see lex/flex in syntax.
