Category: None Group: release Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Perl syntax highlighting: alternative symbols for regex Initial Comment: Patterns such as s!...!...! (in place of the traditional s/.../.../) are not highlighted properly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Joor Loohuis (joor) Date: 2008-05-30 18:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=197101 Originator: NO It's a feature, not a bug ;) Seriously, Perls syntax is so extensive that not everything has been implemented in order to keep highlighting moderately responsive. In this particular case, the syntax highlighting engine would ideally support for some form of backreferences to detect the character that started the expression. Since we don't have these, the patterns would have to be duplicated for each allowed delimiter. If you feel up to it, you could try to duplicate the regex patterns for your favorite alternative delimiter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=111005&aid=1979460&group_id=11005 -- NEdit Develop mailing list - [email protected] http://www.nedit.org/mailman/listinfo/develop
