In vim, I can use
syn match myVar "\v\w+\s*(\=)@="
to match a string such as "abc =" to highlight the variable abc.
Then I tried to match string such as " -> abc" and capture the abc as a variable but failed -- I used
syn match myVar "\v(-\>)\s*\w+"
, it sort of worked, but the arrow "->" is also captured.
I tried
syn match myVar "\v(-\>)\s*\w+@="
, but even worse, it reports an error
E871: (NFA regexp) Cannot have a multi follow a multi
E475: Invalid argument: myVar "\v(-\>)\s*\w+@="
How could I capture the variable only?
