How to? Regex not fully implemented? Don’t seem to be able to use the \q regex (which means quote mark) in %@ReReplace[]

[Claire_CJS]

I’m trying to highlight a quoted section of text that is being echo’ed the screen (command parameters actually).

So I want to use regex to insert color-change ansi before the first quote (to make it orange), and after the last quote (to make it yellow).

which requires me doing a @ReRegex with pattern matching on the quotes.
I want to substitute the first quote with orange+quote.
I want to substitute the last quote with qutoe+yellow.

I can do this in Perl just fine, but %@ReRegex doesn’t seem to work with \q for quote!

[Remember, I had a whole support issue in the past about regexes and quotes, and the answer was basically, "use \q for quotes in regex!". So I am following that advice and finding out that I can’t actually use \q for quotes in ReReplace]

echo %@REReplace[\q,{QUOTE},"How is "your" quest going?"]

I don’t THINK i’m doing this wrong?

This is where I got stuck..... [^\q] means don’t match quotes but it still matched the quotes at the end of the lyrics parameter and at the beginning of the filename parameter and only backfilled \2 at the very end of the string. I actually wanted the filename at the end to be yellow so that ONLY the lyric parameter was highlighted.

>echo %@ReReplace[initial_prompt ([^\q]*),initial_prompt%ansi_color_orange%\1{HEYOO},"%LAST_WHISPER_COMMAND_FOR_DISPLAY_TMP%"]

@REREPLACE's first parameter is a regular expression. I don't know what "\q" is supposed to be. This works (my escape character is ^). ^q is a quote (to TCC); \^q makes it a regular expression.

v:\> echo %@rereplace[\^q,{quote},"How is "your" quest going?"]
{quote}How is {quote}your{quote} quest going?{quote}

 

[Claire_CJS]

OMG Thank you!

I was basically at the final step of this screenshot, but without the ^ before q ... which fixedi t!

It does beg another question though....For me, ^ is my command separator, not my escape character. So whyd oes this still work? I guess it’s being strictly interpreted as regex. But the regex for quote is \q, not \^q ...
.. I’m pretty confused about how this works, but I’m glad it works.

 

[vefatica]

So whyd oes this still work?

It doesn't look like it worked (fourth ECHO in your recent pic).

 

[Claire_CJS]

You’re right. I totally glitched.
This explains why it’s not working in my actual case. I was just about to come back here.

Today’s my 51ˢᵗ birthday. One step closer to dementia haha

 

[Claire_CJS]

Anywho, here’s my real-world example that I was trying to simplify before.

it works fine with the "not backslash" regex at the end, i.e. [^\\]* to match "any character that isn’t a backslash"

But try doing that with the quote! Is it impossible?

So in this case, it highlights "c: of the filename after, which is undesired behavior.

if not defined ANSI_COLOR_BRIGHT_YELLOW set ANSI_COLOR_BRIGHT_YELLOW=%@CHAR[27][93m
if not defined ANSI_COLOR_ORANGE set ANSI_COLOR_ORANGE=%@CHAR[27][38;2;235;107;0m

echo That’s great and all but how to highlight ONLY the lyrics without also highlithing the [" "c:] afterward....

it works fine with the "not backslash" regex at the end, i.e. [^\\]* to match "any character that isn’t a backslash"

What ... replace any character that's not a quote?

v:\> echo %@rereplace[[^^\^q],x,"How is "your" quest going?"]
"xxxxxxx"xxxx"xxxxxxxxxxxxx"

 

[Claire_CJS]

Thanks!

Very curious....

Your solution works in a fresh TCC window with no INI/TCSTART:

But i can’t get it to work in MY tcc with MY environment:

What the?!?!?!?! I can’t imagine what I could possibly be setting that would be making this not work.

 

[vefatica]

What the?!?!?!?! I can’t imagine what I could possibly be setting that would be making this not work.

Um ... TCC's escape character? You change it from the default, don't you? I reckon that's done in _ININAME or _TCSTART.

 

[Claire_CJS]

fun side comment - just now i hit a situation where hitting up arrow and oging into the command history killed the I/O completely. console still there, can still paste into it with warning about pasting multiple lines, but nothing displays

 

[Claire_CJS]

Oops i misspoke.

My escape character is actually the +/- symbol, i needed something that would never come up in anything anybody would reasonably type into a song lyric or any other value i might want to process as an environment variable.

So here i am redefining my escape char to be ! (what do normal people use????)

No escape char. No command separator.

Still doesn’t work in my environment but still does in a fresh environment.

 

[vefatica]

Of course that's not going to work if your escape character is '!'. In the above, all three of those ^s are TCC escape characters. The first one excapes the second one so the regular expression will contain a real caret ([^...], character not in class). The third one is part of ^q, TCC's escape sequence for a double quote ... it gives a quote without the missing-quote error. Prefix it with a regex escape char, \^q and you get the literal quote in the regex.

If your TCC escape character is '!' the '^' is no longer special so just put it right in the regex.

v:\> setdos /e!

v:\> echo %@rereplace[[^\!q],x,"How is "your" quest going?"]
"xxxxxxx"xxxx"xxxxxxxxxxxxx"

 

[Claire_CJS]

Gotcha! That was my issue, not knowing which is which. Thank you so much for the solution!

 

[Claire_CJS]

I honestly feel the command separator character should not be processed if it’s a parameter to a %@FUNCTION[]. I can’t think of a reason why other than speed.
