}
}

it gave error:
myhighlighter.cpp:84:57: error: function definition is not allowed here

pls help,thx alot
im reduce confusion,i made a theme settings,it check the file data.settings have what text inside and use theme if the file have the specified text it will set what theme.
thats why i need use QFile on syntax highlight,bcuz when change theme,the syntax highlight will make the text blur and not able to look at

@ELEMENTICY
I'm going to say this, though not the answer you wanted, but it's meant to help you. You really, really should be able to see this one yourself. I don't know the line numbers but can see just by glancing, but you have the line number from the compiler error message to actually go to. Did you do that?

This is not a question to post on a Qt forum for others to solve for you.

Althought it doesnt have error,but it become not work

The data.settings contained
20c6ff18f58e7fb7d4a2ca57f83468ac

but it doesnt work,like when i typed True False say ask it doesnt change text's color

@ELEMENTICY Please use debugger and see what happens...

[ELEMENTICY]

@jsulm i used debugger,how to see the problem?
Im not often use Debugger, i dont know how to see what happened

[jsulm]

@ELEMENTICY Please learn how to use a debugger, this is a basic tool for a programmer.
Go through your code step by step in the debugger and see what your code does.

Hi

You want to check out what does when it sees the True False say ask keywords.
See if it goes into the while loop or not as then we know if its due its not seeing the keywords
and if it does , it means that the color change is not working.

start app in debug mode. ( the other run symbol) 
and place break point at this function.

void MyHighLighter::highlightBlock(const QString &text)
{
    foreach (const HighlightingRule &rule, highlightingRules) {
        QRegExp expression(rule.pattern);
        int index = expression.indexIn(text);
        while (index >= 0) {
            int length = expression.matchedLength();
            setFormat(index, length, rule.format);
            index = expression.indexIn(text, index + length);
        }
    }

    setCurrentBlockState(0);

}
