Bug or just bad assumption? (or user error :-)
Posted: Wed Oct 06, 2004 8:15 am
In a programming language we use the following line shows incorrectly highlighted
if purgeOutputLocation[-1,1] # '\' then purgeErrorLocation := '\'
then problem is that all text after the first ' is highlighted as a string.
My guess is that TEXTPAD assumes that the \ is escaping the closing ' and so it gets lost ..
Is there a way to turn this off. Not all languages use \ as an escape charater.
Of course it is possible that i have just missed this in the syntax definition. Have searched but not found a reference.
thanks
