What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. When trying to view the source of its own code:
SingleQuotedString : new RegExp("'(?:\\.|(\\ \\ \\')|[^\\''\\n])*'", 'g')
will hilight incorrectly
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The 'g' isn't highlighted in this line. This is because the regexes are
overlapping. You really want to start scanning again after the point where
another string has ended. This is a case where a single quote appears in a
double quoted string and then again later in the line.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.5.2, Mac OSX. Bug reproducible in Firefox 3 and Safari.
Please provide any additional information below.
You can merge both of the Single and Double quoted strings with the
following regex:
/(['"])(\\.|[^\1])*?\1/g
This way, it finds the whole string literal before matching another.
