Check strings for escaped regex

[baelter]

Would be nice if strings where unescaped and checked for regex type.

e.g. regex in json string.

Hi Anders,

I do not know exactly what you mean. JSON does not know regexes. Do you think
of syntax highlight descriptions? If so, please take a look at another package
of mine, which you can use for writing coffeescript or javascript and generate
the syntax theme from it: https://www.npmjs.com/package/atom-syntax-tools

Best regards, Kiwi

{
  "var" : "^.*\\d+§"
}

escaped regex in strings like this.

I think there would be a lot of cases where a regex in a string would be very hard to tell apart from a regular string, and vice versa.

A better solution may be the ability to invoke the diagram manually (via a keyboard shortcut or menu command) in which case it could evaluate a string literal as regex.
