I have several language defs with a bunch of keywords...nothing unusual there. My problem is that if I have a keyword 'left', I only want it to be considered a keyword if it's not preceded by a period character. There is no lookbehind option in the explicit pattern group so how do I differentiate:
Left("my string", 3) (should be a keyword)
SomeObject.Left (should not be a keyword)
Left("my string", 3) (should be a keyword)
SomeObject.Left (should not be a keyword)
