RegExp highlighting sometimes matches inside strings and comments To reproduce, create a C++ file with
Add a regexp highlight string of \d+ (match digits). The 5 inside the string and comment in the first line are not highlighted, but in the second line (which starts with one space) they are. |

Re: RegExp highlighting sometimes matches inside strings and comments Hello Jibz,
I am sorry but I couldn't reproduce your issue. Did you add \d+ as a regular expression at the bottom of the list of highlight strings in the Highlight (1) tab of C++ configuration properties?

Re: RegExp highlighting sometimes matches inside strings and comments Yes, I added it last with only Regular Expression ticked.
I had added it with color number 8 to make it easy to spot, and now that I try again I can see it only does it when I select one of the colors with a background color in it (1, 8, 9 or 10). |
