Convert regex to Oniguruma flavour to use in VSCode TM Grammars












0















I've got the following regular expression



(?s)(?:<action[^>]*>s*K)w+(?=s?().*</action>)



I'd like to use that expression in my VSCode extension tmLanguage file, to change the colour in the syntax highlighting for certain words. But there is something in the first two groups that breaks the entire syntax highlighting.



VScode uses this Uniguruma library for the TM Grammars regex. I tried to change that regex to make VSCode happy, but I really struggle working with regex. Can anyone please point me to the right direction?

  • Just FYI: Oniguruma does not support the K match reset operator. Only Onigmo started supporting it. Infinite width lookbehind is not supported either. So, you need to dig into the constructs the syntax highlighting library offers.
