Thanks, tried

scanSpecialCharacter
������ | character |
������ currentCharacter = $:
������ ������ ifTrue: [
������ ������ ������ self step.
������ ������ ������ ^ currentCharacter = $=
������ ������ ������ ������ ifTrue: [
������ ������ ������ ������ ������ self step.
������ ������ ������ ������ ������ RBAssignmentToken start: tokenStart]
������ ������ ������ ������ ifFalse: [ RBSpecialCharacterToken value: $: start: tokenStart ]].
������ ������ ������
������ currentCharacter = $:
������ ������ ifTrue: [
������ ������ ������ self step.
������ ������ ������ ^ currentCharacter = $>
������ ������ ������ ������ ifTrue: [
������ ������ ������ ������ ������ self step.
������ ������ ������ ������ ������ RBAssignmentToken start: tokenStart]
������ ������ ������ ������ ifFalse: [ RBSpecialCharacterToken value: $: start: tokenStart ]].
������ ������ ������
������ currentCharacter = $_ ifTrue: [
������ ������ self step.��
������ ������ ^ RBShortAssignmentToken start: tokenStart ].
������
������ character := currentCharacter.
������ self step.
������ ^ RBSpecialCharacterToken value: character start: tokenStart

but while it does not seem to shred my image to pieces it also seems to have no effect at all. I guess the UI components still check differently and neither workplace nor SystemBrowser allow me to write code using the :> operator

Hi,

If you are using the OpalCompiler (Pharo4, sure, Pharo3, I'm not so sure), have a look at:

RBScanner>>scanSpecialCharacter

Hi,

I need to modify the compiler adding ":>" as an alias for ":=" for assignment. I have been reading all over the Compiler package but do not find where a tokenizer parses for the assignement operator or where it is defined.

Any hint where to start or do it is appreciated.

best regards
Erik
