Jan, Using PsPad 4.6.1 (2730), I found that in a unix shell script, any text following a # will be highlighted as a comment. But for # in the middle of a line, this should only be true if the # is preceeded by whitespace.
For example, the following shell script shows two comments in the PsPad highlighter: #!/bin/bash touch test1.txt touch test#2.txt touch test3.txt ls test1.txt test#2.txt test3.txt But there are no comments in the above script, which will execute as expected. The need for whitespace before a # comment that is in the middle of the line is documented at the following link: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/special-chars.html Thanks, - Michael -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,67503,67503> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
