Need help on setting syntax highlight with RegEx Hi, I'm writing some little AHK scripts to help my daily work, so I'm tweaking around the ahk syntax highlight configs.
Since I want to highlight subroutine labels of ahk script, I tried this pattern: Which means words and a colon follows some space or right at the beginning of the line. The "(?=\s*$|\s*;.*$)" part is a positive lookahead search, which means I want to have it could be followed by spaces or a line comment (; blah blah...), but it does not work as I expected, it can only be followed by spaces, once there is some comment followed, the highlight goes off. Could anybody give me some hints how to correct it?    |

Re: Need help on setting syntax highlight with RegEx Well, I got it.
It's because there is a line comment setting which starts with the character ";". While the line comment setting turns off, the regex highlight works fine. Hi Yutaka, is this a bug? |

Re: Need help on setting syntax highlight with RegEx Hi ToadLoadin,
Currently, this is the specification. If the Line Comment character appear in the middle of a line, then the highlight will be turn off. This is because of optimization. Thank you,
