"\n" is non whitespace token?

SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

I set code lower to the main form of the sample application with default sample document:

TokenStream tokenstream = this.editor.Document.GetTokenStream( 0 );
Token token = null;
while ( !( token = tokenstream.Read() ).IsEndOfDocument )
if ( token.Text == "\n" && !token.IsWhitespace )
MessageBox.Show( "Error" );

and see "Error" three times.

You have to set the IsWhitespace flag in your language definitions for each pattern group. The lexical scanner doesn't assign that flag dynamically. See this example in the C# language definition:

<RegexPatternGroup Token="LineTerminatorToken" PatternValue="{LineTerminatorMacro}" IsWhitespace="True" />

Sorry but I am slow-witted <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0"> I tell about SyntaxEditor' sample application and its sample C# language definition. As I understand mentioned pattern group sescribes line terminator tokens at the document. Why 3 of 56 "\n" tokens are non whitespace one?

I just took a look and see what you mean. Some of the pattern groups that end scopes with a line terminator do not have the IsWhitespace="true" flag set. I added those in for the next release.
