I want to highlight everything after "print" as a string, the problem is that this leads to no highlighting even though the regex, in theory, should work.
As an example replacing "match":
with "begin":"somestring"
and typing somestring
into vscode, works.
This is the JSON for the specific section:
"afterprint": {
"patterns": [
{
"name": "string.quoted.double",
"match": "(?<=print)(?s)(.*$)"
}
]
}
I have managed to get this working on my side by removing the (?s)
, I am unsure why this is the case, maybe a bug or restricted regex. Anyways it solves your question, as everything after print
gets highlighted
"afterprint": {
"patterns": [
{
"name": "string.quoted.double",
"match": "(?<=print)(.*$)"
}
]
}
Just to mention, other regex hasn't worked for me as well in foo.tmLanguage.json
I have still not solved this "mystery".
