Vive:

	hi link xDate Identifier
	let today='09.30.04'
	highlight Identifier
	echo today
Results:

*** 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?
***
