Pb in highlighting syntax in perl mode
Submitted by manu58 on Tuesday, 11 September, 2007 - 11:17
Hello everybody

I have a pb with jedit 4.3pre10 using 4.6.0 in perl mode:

When I write:

print "I'm saying \"coucou\"\n";

the coloring system is broken. All the words: I'm saying \"coucou\"\n should we colored in pink, because this is put between external quotes, and the internal quotes are escaped. Instead of this, the word coucou is colored in BLACK, which means that jedit does not understand that tes internal quotes are escaped.

Another example:

print "The files are called \"/foo\" and /bar \n";

Here, the characters foo\" and are considered as a regular expression, because of the 2 /. It is obviously false, and the highlighting system is completely confused, because it does not see the 2nd \", so that he believes that every following code is between quotes....

Any solution ?
