Can anybody see what in that code is causing BBEdit not to balance the
overall function? Does it matter? Is there some simple way I could fix that?
Looks like it's the escaped right parenthesis: \)
Out of context, it's not clear to me why that's there. But
here's a hack if you need it: add an optional escaped LEFT
parenthesis before the escaped right parenthesis and the Balance
command will probably work.
That is, add this: \(?
The '?' makes it optional - it will will match zero or one left
parenthesis, and this hack expects it to always be zero.
So you'd have, perhaps:
var noCol=/^transparent|rgba.*,\s?0\s?\(?\)$/i;
If you do this, put a comment nearby to explain why the escaped
left parenthesis is in the match expression. While you're at it,
document the whole thing. As I said, I'm unclear what that right
parens is doing there, although that would probably be clear
from seeing the surrounding code and also the material you're
matching against.
