Adding a "custom" regex to count for

[maxdd]

Hello, great extension. It would be great as an improvement/added feature if it could be possible to count for a custom text or a regexpr. Would that be possible? The end goal would be to count for called function ecc, that would make the tool even more complete.

Actually, this extension does not support very complex rules. However, you can implement a few custom rules with the following configuration.

For example, here is an example configuration for JavaScript.

settings.json

   "VSCodeCounter.languages": {
          :
        "javascript": {
            "aliases": [
                "JavaScript"
            ],
            "filenames": [
                "jakefile"
            ],
            "extensions": [
                ".js",
                ".es6",
                ".mjs",
                ".cjs",
                ".pac"
            ],
            "lineComments": [
                "//"
            ],
            "blockComments": [
                [
                    "/*",
                    "*/"
                ]
            ],
            "blockStrings": []
        },
           :
  },

• An object key is an ID unique to the language. Use an appropriate name that does not conflict with any other.
• Set "aliases" to the language name.
• Set the files that match the "filenames" or "extensions" criteria to It determines that this is JavaScript.
• Lines matching the "lineComments" or "blcokComments" criteria are It will be considered a comment.

The new command "Save the collected language configurations" collects information about other language extensions and stores it in a configuration file You can . for your reference.
