so, i (almost) finished the core of the M30W parser, and i'll upload it as soon as i fix my firewall hmm

but i'm stuck with in-line comments
i can't get a regex pattern to distinguish between

Code:

a block #a comment
say 'a # sign' for 5 seconds
'a string #' #lalala

anybody?

Check for a quote before and after?

and how do you do that? and check that it's closed?

What are you using to parse quotes in the first place? smile

I'm not sure regex are quite the right thing for writing a parser like this... hmm It gets kinda messy. Then again, my attempts to write a scratchblocks parser using Construct didn't work out too well — so I probably can't claim much authority on the subject.

I believe the "correct" way of doing this is to define a grammar, rather formally, and use a proper parser to actually parse the code. It's all very computer sciency. ._.
