PatternValue Question

In my custom language the "@" symbol represents a Database Field. It can be expressed as @FieldName or @[Field Name With Spaces].

In my XML is the following token definition:

<PatternGroups>
<RegexPatternGroup TokenKey="FieldToken" Style="FieldStyle" PatternValue="@ {WordMacro}+" LookAhead="{NonWordMacro}|\z" />
</PatterGroups>

Currently the @FieldName is formatted correctly, and identified correctly as a FieldToken, but @[Field Name With Spaces] is not identified correctly.

How should I change the Pattern Value to also allow @[*]?

Thanks,

Hi Shawn,

You can just make a second pattern group with the same TokenKey and Style but use a pattern that allows your alternate syntax. This way either one will be valid and will appear the same if you parse tokens later.
