Hotstrings that include ; showing as comments

Open awfki opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

I have lots of hotstrings that begin with a semi-colon (e.g. :*:;ahk::AutoHotKey) and they're marked as comments.

I swear I brought this up once before and was able to fix it but I can't find it now.

I'm not a programmer and only vaguely understand Atom configuration but if you can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

comment: "inline comments"
captures:
  "1":
    name: ".comment.line.ahk"
  "2":
    name: ".punctuation.definition.semi-colon.comment.ahk"
match: "((;).*)"

I believe what I want is to tweak the last line above.

LOL, Made another attempt and this time I restarted Atom and it appears to have worked.

I change that line to match: "([^:](;).*)" which is probably very specific to my use-case but it works so I'm happy. Leaving this here so that if I need it again in six months I'll be able to find it.
