# Using Sublime Text with FASTBuild

Sublime text can be used to run [FASTBuild](http://www.fastbuild.org/), with this build script. Save this as "FASTBuild.sublime-build", in your user AppData\\Roaming\\Sublime Text 3\\Packages\\User directory (or Mac/Linux equivalent location).

{ "cmd": \["C:/Simul/master/Simul/External/FASTBuild/FBuild.exe","-config","$file"\] ,"file\_regex": "(.*)\\((.*),(.*)\\): FASTBuild (Error .*)$" ,"selector": "source.bff" }

By using the selector "source.bff", it should match up automatically with the syntax (below), but I've not quite figured this part out yet. Here's a preliminary Sublime Text syntax for FASTBuild. Call it "FASTBuild.sublime-syntax" and save it in the same directory.
