Subject: mcedit colorer problem
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2010 13:38:59 +0300

If I type the following string in a shell script:

valid=$(echo "$device" | awk '{ match($0, /^\/dev\/sd[a-z][0-9]$/); print
RSTART }')

mcedit will color all the following text as a character string (screenshot
is attached)

not sure if this has been discussed before, but why not include colorer take5 to make syntax work?

is there any problem providing it with MC?

i know lot of people is compiling it by themselves so is just a matter of polishing makefile.

Replying to muzzol:

First of all, colorer-take5 is written in C++...
Then, the any extra library is not nice in embedded system.

A work around for code:

LINES=($(egrep -v "^(#|[[:space:]])|^$" $HOME/file))

#" <- work arround

for LINE in "${LINES[@]}"; do
    echo "--" $LINE "--"
done

This bug is truly annoying! Almost any shell script with some regex foo gets broken in mcedit, maybe fixing #2931 would be the best long term decision for fixing this!

anyone working on this?

I see some love done on syntax highlighting on last versions, it would be nice to solve this particular issue.

Nope, there is a fork trying to cram new features in mcedit and produce new bugs, but there is sadly no interest from contributors to fix existing bugs. The maintainers do not have resources to address this particular one - it requires a lot of time.
