Hello!

I've got a text file with the following format: A date in the format 
dd.mm.YY, linebreak, some text lines with breaks, an empty line.

I want to highlight the dates with a syntax file but until now I had no 
success.

The syntax file looks like this:

syn clear
syn match xDate +\d\+\.d\+\.d\++
syn sync minlines=50
hi def xDate Identifier

it is in ~/.vim/syntax/Journal.vim and I can load it with ":set 
syntax=Journal". The ":syntax list" command lists the xDate element 
correctly. What am i doing wrong?

Gabriel
