I'm trying to get the google code prettify working showing something similar to the Delphi IDE and ran into a problem with the comments
This is a comment:
{text in here}
This is a compiler directive (not a comment):
{$text in here}
Does anyone know how to change the comment section below so that if the character after {
is the $
character then it is not a comment
This is the lang-Pascal.js that I've been using
PR.registerLangHandler(
PR.createSimpleLexer(
[ // shortcutStylePatterns
// 'single-line-string'
[PR.PR_STRING, /^(?:\'(?:[^\\\'\r\n]|\\.)*(?:\'|$))/, null, '\''],
// Whitespace
[PR.PR_PLAIN, /^\s+/, null, ' \r\n\t\xA0']
],
[ // fallthroughStylePatterns
// A cStyleComments comment (* *) or {}
[PR.PR_COMMENT, /^(?:\/\/[^\r\n]*)|\(\*[\s\S]*?(?:\*\)|$)|^\{[\s\S]*?(?:\}|$)/, null],
//[PR.PR_COMMENT, /^\(\*[\s\S]*?(?:\*\)|$)|^\{[\s\S]*?(?:\}|$)/, null],
[PR.PR_KEYWORD, /^(?:TRY|EXCEPT|PUBLIC|PRIVATE|CLASS|PROPERTY|ABSOLUTE|AND|ARRAY|ASM|ASSEMBLER|BEGIN|CASE|CONST|CONSTRUCTOR|DESTRUCTOR|DIV|DO|DOWNTO|ELSE|END|EXTERNAL|FOR|FORWARD|FUNCTION|GOTO|IF|IMPLEMENTATION|IN|INLINE|INTERFACE|INTERRUPT|LABEL|MOD|NOT|OBJECT|ON|OF|OR|PACKED|PROCEDURE|PROGRAM|RECORD|REPEAT|SET|SHL|SHR|STRICT|THEN|TO|TYPE|UNIT|UNTIL|USES|VAR|VIRTUAL|WHILE|WITH|XOR)\b/i, null],
[PR.PR_LITERAL, /^(?:true|false|self|nil)/i, null],
[PR.PR_PLAIN, /^[a-z][a-z0-9]*/i, null],
// Literals .0, 0, 0.0 0E13
[PR.PR_LITERAL, /^(?:\$[a-f0-9]+|(?:\d+(?:\.\d*)?|\.\d+)(?:e[+\-]?\d+)?)/i, null, '0123456789'],
[PR.PR_PUNCTUATION, /^.[^\s\w\.$@\'\/]*/, null]
]),
['pascal']);
Since the syntax is JS (and the file is lang-Pascal.js), I also assume the regex is ECMAScript 5 compliant.
A very simple fix is to add a (?!\$)
negative lookahead after {
:
^(?:\/\/[^\r\n]*)|\(\*[\s\S]*?(?:\*\)|$)|^\{(?!\$)[\s\S]*?(?:\}|$)
^^^^^
See the regex demo
This lookahead will fail the match if there is a $
after a literal {
that is at the beginning of the string/line.
