Assigning a syntax to a buffer
Submitted by PaulGGardner on Monday, 2 August, 2004 - 21:30
Is there a way to assign a syntax mode to the current buffer. I get files that have one extension while containing code that uses another. For example, Python, VBScript and JavaScript renamed to txt in order to pass our firewall. I would like to identify the language via a command, or menu or something w/o having to actually change the file extension.

Thanks,
Paul

try first line globs?

See if the Global Options -> Editing -> * globs options do the trick. The 'first line glob' option might work if you put an identifier *in* your code rather than in the filename.
