PureBasic Forums - English

Ever since I started using PureBasic (June 2003) I have been using !!! (three consecutive exclamation marks) within comments to flag issues requiring my attention.
In File -> Preferences -> Editor -> Issues I have tried to create a new issue marker to reflect this, but regular expressions of \b!!!\b.* and \b\!\!\!\b.* do not match !!! so can anyone please tell me the correct RE to use?

I haven't been able to use word boundaries as part of the setup but have gotten it to work with just the '!!!' part using: Some other suggested patterns are listed here.

Thank you Demivec

This is likely because ! is not a word character. If you want to force !!!, and ignore !!!!, you can insert a start of string, whitespaces as needed. You can also insert a not ! if you want.

Hi akj,

I don't see this option in my preferences!

Thanks,

Are you using the new 5.3 beta?

Oops !!

I read the part of the first post where akj said he had been using PB since 2003 and assumed that he had been using this feature.

Thanks for clarifying
