Hi, I made a CLM for Awk[1] just for convenience and I came up with a regex to capture functions.
>From the CLM reference[2]: > Because of the way BBEdit processes regular-expression patterns internally, > if you need to make backreferences in a pattern, you must use named > subpatterns instead of positional (numbered) backreferences The pattern I've used has named backreferences of the ?& flavour but the functions aren't being picked up. I've checked it works as a pattern in Find so I'm just wondering if this kind of backref is okay? The pattern fails if I use ?P= to refer back to it. Any help or insights are much appreciated <key>BBLMScansFunctions</key><true/> <key>Function Pattern</key> <string><![CDATA[ (?x: (?>function[^\S]+)(?>\w+[^\S]*\() (?P<args>\s*(?:(?:\[\w+\])|\w+)?\s*(?:,(?&args))?) \) (?P<funcbody> \s*\{ (?: [^}{]+ | (?&funcbody) )*+ \} ) ) ]]></string> [1] https://github.com/yb66/BBEdit-Awk [2] https://www.barebones.com/support/develop/clm.html Regards, iain -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
