Commenting character also part of an operator

Commenting character also part of an operator

    Hello,

    In the language I'm using | is the comment character (till the end of the line) but || is the OR operator.

    I've been trying to handle this by using:

    Line Comment Preceding Chars = [~|]
    Line Comment Num = 2|
    Block Comment On = |*
    Block Comment Off = *|

    It's a cludgy workaround since technically "| " is not a comment. Everytime I just use | for the comment character, however, it ends up commenting out the rest of the OR operator and the rest of the line.

    Anyone have any suggestions on how I fix this?

    The basic rule is | is a comment till the end of the line except
    || which is the OR Operator

    Thanks!

      The definition looks correct. Have you also added | to the /Delimiters list?

        Yes, and I put the || as an operator as well.

          Your line comment is not what you wrote at your first post. Use

          Code: Select all

          /L20"Macroscript" Nocase Line Comment Preceding Chars = [~*|] Line Comment Num = 2|  Block Comment On = |* Block Comment Off = *| Escape Char = \ String Chars = "' File Extensions = MAC INC
          Note the 2 spaces after Num = 2|.

          You have to write always a space after |, if you want it as line comment. There is no workaround for it at the moment. Use a regular expression replace to quickly modify existing line comments without space after |.

          Other mistakes:

          The "words" == != <= >= ~~ !~ || in color group /C4 are useless. Because these characters are also delimiters, != for example is "word" ! and "word" =. So remove these combinations of delimiters and add a single ! and ~ to the group.

          UltraEdit supports only 8 color groups. /C9 and /C10 are not interpreted by UE. You have to move these words to other color groups.
