Preventing strings within strings being highlighted - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 15 years ago by John Youren

Hi,

In my xml file I have commands such as Sync etc.

However, these strings are highlighted even if the string appears in another string

e.g. 'SyncSpeed'; 'Sync' will be highlighted.

Can I prevent this?

Thanks,
John

Sure, all keyword lexical pattern groups in the XML language definitions should have this attribute:

LookAhead="{NonWordMacro}"

That tells it to make sure the word ends with a non-word character.
