[Dltk-dev] code coloring in the js editor with regexp

[Johan Compagner <jcompagner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

dont know about other languages so i first ask if this is know or already working in other implementations.

If you have this:

 

 var myData = globals.curChartDataHTML.replace(/[^<]*(<a href="" '$5'); 

 var installdir = java.lang.System.getProperty("user.dir");
 installdir = utils.stringReplace(installdir,'\\','\/');

 

then the color coding in the script editor is wrong because it sees in the regexp a opening " without an ending so everything after that is marked as a string.

 

Do other scripting languages also work with regexp like that?

I guess i need to have a scanner that sees / xxx /g as there own thing?
