SQL highlighting broken when string contains square brackets

[rgpublic]

When trying to highlight this as SQL:

'['+ABC+']'

I get wrong results.

Which SQL standard is this based on? What special syntax rule does it use?

Microsoft SQL-Server, TSQL, Azure DataWarehouse, ...

Can you provide a full example where it doesn't work? @rgpublic SELECT * FROM `CONFINE` WHERE `PRI` = $1 GROUP BY '[' + HEX + ']' properly defines & marks the brackets as a string in my version.

Does ist also work for you with '['+ABC+']' @Streusel ? Yes, I know it's not a full example. But: I came here because the GeSHi highlighter is used in Drupal's "Geshi Filter for syntax highlighting" module:

https://www.drupal.org/project/geshifilter

This module is used on a site we're taking care of for a blog about programming issues to format code excerpts. Sometimes, there's only a short code excerpt discussed. It's not always a full executable MySQL statement. But shouldn't the above thing be formatted right anyway? It works if there is not a square bracket within the quotes. Doesn't make that much sense to me...

Just using '['+ABC+']' works fine as well. I'm personally using version 1.0.8.9 of the sql file.
