#"pattern" is handled by a different reader function than "string". Both are terminated by the first unescaped double-quote, so simple highlighting of the whole expression in a single color would be the same. However, the set of internal escape sequences recognized by each are different. For example \w means 'whitespace' in a regex (and is colored differently from the rest of the regex by vim in perl code) but is currently illegal in a Clojure string. --Chouser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
