Hi,
I'm fairly new to regex. I know that the * is a greedy match. This is
currently giving me undesired results. How do I rewrite the regex below
so it will match up to the first } symbol it encounters.
To put this in context, I'm writing a regex based syntax highlighter.
Here is sample code I am having trouble with:
function MyFunc: {$ifdef FPC}longword{$else}word{$endif};
The following regex matches the first { symbol up until the last }
symbol. :-( I obviously want it to stop at the first } it encounters.
This is the regex I'm currently using:
\s*\{\$.*\}
Any regex wizards that could help me here?
Regards,
- Graeme -
