Syntax Hilighting (Regex) Oddity? When I do either of the following [x] Regex, Syntax Hilighters: __Quote:
1) Win(Active|Exist)\(.* Then it works: __Quote: if(!winID:=WinExist("ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD")) Yet, if I add one more brace to the regex: __Quote: 3) Win(Active|Exist)\(.*\) It no longer matches: __Quote: if(!winID:=WinExist("ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD")) But, without quotes inside the braces, it will match: __Quote: if(!winID:=WinExist(ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD)) Interestingly, ahk_class would normally look like: ahk_class So a separate hilighter for keywords, doesn't break the regex (#3), but having a string inside it does? Bug perhaps, I'm not sure, but it's definitely strange. As there doesn't seem to be a way to indicate a Word should only be hilighted if it has braces e.g. a function. |

Re: Syntax Hilighting (Regex) Oddity? Hi CrashNBurn,
I reproduced this issue. If you uncheck "Double Quotation Marks" on the Highlight (2) tab of configuration properties, you won't see this behavior. Currently, this is a specification, but I might consider improving the behavior in future versions. Thanks for your inputs!
