Hello Forum

In our files are many ' chars
But not in the function of masking chars.
But it doesn't act like " which mask immediately all signs after ".
With ' only the next new lines til the next appearance of '
get masked.
Thats why I like to know how to disable the masking function of '

Best regards Flummi

I do not really understand what is your problem. But it seems to be a string highlighting problem. There are only 4 string related settings in the syntax highlighting wordfile. Standard is wordfile.txt in the UE/UES program directory.

The first settings is String Chars =

With this setting you can specify which characters are string delimiting characters.

With Escape Char = you can specify which character is the escape character for the string delimiters within a string. In 'C' the escape character is \ to allow string definitions like "File \"path and name of the file\" not found!".

Noquote will disable string syntax highlighting for languages which do not have a string or where keyword highlighting inside strings is recommended (i.e. HTML).

And since v11 of UE the keywords DisableMLS and EnableMLS exist. With these settings you can disable or enable multi-line string highlighting for the appropriate language.

For more details see the UE help topic Syntax Highlighting (Configuration - Editor Display).
