highlighting quotation mark(s) in javascript regexps

There's a bug in the syntax colorization for javascript.

Here's the sample code to replicate the problem :

Code:
text = text.replace(/\'/g,'''); // 39 27


The algorithm used by PhpEd doesn't take into account the backslash symbol which escapes the quote and thus highlights '/g' as a string instead of '''

Thanks for fixing it Smile

My previous post doesn't display as expected.

Here's the sample code to replicate the problem :

Code:
text = text.replace(/\'/g,'&#39'); // 39 27

I'm not sure if this can be solved at all...
If we change highlighter and it starts recognizing everything between / and / as a regexp, it will fail in many other cases, for example:

i = 5;
a = 8/4 + 55/i;

From the highlighter's perspectives /4 + 55/i will look like a regexp, whereas it is certainly not.

Hi Dmitri,

I'm glad to see that you're back from holidays and thanks for your answer.

To answer your remark, I'd say that I don't want the highlighter to recognize the regular expression between the '/', but rather not to recognize the backslash + quote as a string start, since the backslash is here to protect the quote...

What do u think ?
