Custom Token with spaces

Posted 18 years ago by Carl Gilbert
Hi

I am using the Actipro Syntax Editor and I am trying to define my own language definition.

I want to define a token that can have at least one WordMacro and optionally a space followed by another WordMacro all encapsulated in square brackets.
For example, [something] or [something else] or [something else again]
So, it always contains one word macro but could contain another word macro precedded by space. The token can not finish with a space either.

I have attached my efforts so far where I have made a new token called CarlToken. Could you please take a look my definition to see where I am going wrong?

Note: The example I have attached uses the '@' at the start and end but ideally I would like to use a '[' and ']' but I wasn't too sure about its use within the document.

Regards, Carl Gilbert
