I need to extract some information from source code.
How can I write a perl regular _expression_ that will match a literal string in languages like C#, _javascript_, java and lisp?
Here is my naive approach:
/"[^"]*"/
This of course does not accommodate backslashes in the string that perl, C, C# _javascript_ use.
"\"sdfds\"\\r\\t\\m".
How can I write a regular _expression_ in perl to look for a double quoted literal string in these languages?
Thanks
Siegfried
